life Is too self-centered. You imagine
your tribulations are worse than others

have you to carry a picture Of your woe
begone face and funeral ways about

their own? If you must whine or sulk or
scowl go to the woods or behind the barn
somewhere. Cheer up. Your ills are
largely imaginary. If you are on the
brink of bankruptcy, or If there were no

clear your brows, set your teeth and make
the best of it. Cheer up. You are max

paying high rate of interest.
Cheer up. Why, man alive, in a ten
minutes walk you may see a score OF
people worse off than you! And here you
are, digging your own grave and playing

Man alive, you must do your work
Smile, even tho it be thru your tears
