It's Up to You

There is plenty of joy in the world
round about
If only you're trying to find it.
And your trouble will fly like the
breath of sigh
If you are too happy to mind it.
Your life is too precious to waste in
despair,
For you gather no profits on stocks
held in care,
And the world will pay tribute if
you'll do your share,
But you've got to put hustle behind it.
There is plenty of work to be done in
the world
If you have the courage to do it.
There are races to run and goal to
be won
If you have the grit to pursue it.
But you never can win if you sit still
and weep;
You'll never grow strong while you
cringingly creep;
And the world will Keep whirling
while you are asleep,
And yours is the fault if you rue it.
You are sure to reap trouble along
your life road
If daily you always expect it.
And you needn't think you can gather
great due
AS long as you coolly neglect it,
Don't think for a moment that you
are exempt;
The shirker is always a fit mark for
contempt;
If the. world owes you living you've
got to attempt
To hand her the bill and collect it.

That's Different

The Fervid Patriot stood upon the
corner and discoursed, using appro-
pirate gestures.
Every man should be ready to
serve his country in any capacity"
he exclaimed. Il am ready to render
any service my country may require
of me. If need be 1 will don her uni
form, bid my loved ones good-by and
march away to the tented field, there
to do and die as the fates may or
dain''
There is nothing you would refuse
to do if called upon by your country"
queried the shrewd-eyed little man in
the outer circles.
mo, sir" exclaimed the Fervid
Patriot. What my country needs at
my hands, that will 1 gladly do, and
rejoice that the opportunity is given
me. My life. my all, is at my coun-
try's service"
Thank you," said the shrewd-eyed
little man. Then you will have no
objections to correcting the assess
ment schedule you made out and
giving in for taxation the property you
forgot to mention the first time.''
Before he could recover the Fervid
Patriot had taken the blank and was
watching the crowd slowly melt
away.

Some Union Made Hun1or

We are impelled to enter an objection
to this dissertation of the luscious
watermelon. The watermelon in it's
natural state is quite good enough,
and to endeavor to make it better,
more useful or more healthful would
be to paint the lily or gild refined
gold. Sweet memories cluster. around
the watermelon, to say nothing of
present pleasures that are connected
Herewith. = Out upon the man who
would take the succulent fruit and
debase it to commercialism in a re-
fined form!
1t is to be hoped that all efforts to
commercalize the watermelon in
some other shape will fail as disas-
trously as have the attempts made to
improve upon the good old way of eat
ing them. There is but one way to
carve watermelon says Senator
Stone, land that's to bust it." The
senator is eminently correct Dust
er," and then insert your visage into
the rich red heart until the lobes of
your ears are afloat and the bosom
of your shirt moist and decorated with
seeds. Having done this you will
arise in the strength given you by the
feast and denounce any and all
schemes to divert this favorite fruit
from its primitive and natural use.

Brain Leaks

Some people mistake a fad for re-
ligion.
Lies greatest pleasures do not
cost money.
Only those who have suffered can
truly sympathize.
A friend in need is a friend in deed,
not alone in words.
Some men who are quick to propose
reforms are the last to accept them
The world has very little confidence
in man who is too proud to remem-
Der his origin.
Every man you help out of the
gutter is one man less left there to
pull you down.
Some men would never know they
had good time yesterday if they
had no headache today
Instead of complaining that they
do not get what they deserve, most
men should be rejoicing because of it,
If the possession of money were
the only reason for happiness, the
world would lose most of it's cheer
fulness.
Do not envy the man who owns an
automobile. If you must be envious,
consider the man who owns the re-
pair shop.
We refuse to be alarmed at this
talk about the danger of return of
the crinoline. Bad as it was, there
was something good i it.
The trouble with some men is that
they think they were cut out for pace
makers when they were really entered
merely to fill the required number of
starters.
1t is not the heat of the hot weather
that makes us uncomfortable; it is
the hot weather's habit of bringing to
the front the eminent old gentlemen
who could cradle so much wheat per
day in the, olden' times.
