Can You Afford 1t?

You can't afford to look as if your hopes
had oozed away.
Though failure face you everywhere
you turn;
You can't afford to let the world discover
your dismay,
Though others claim the profits that
you earn;
You can't afford to 90 about with dismal
mutterings,
Or mourn the wrongs you suffer and the
woeful state of things;
You can't afford to show your wounds or
try to salve the stings
BY tearfully complaining that they
burn.
The world has little sympathy for him
who shuffles past,
Proclaiming by his look that he has
faied
The world has small regard for him
whose face is overcast,
And Fortune hates to hear herself as
sailed
The world is always ready to believe in
him whose air
Is that of one whom victory makes
proof against despair;
The world is ever eager to be helpful if
we dare
To seem undaunted where we might
have quailed.
You can't afford to sacrifice the watch
full worlds regard,
No matter how your wounded heart
may ache;
You can't afford to wall because the
blows fall thick and hard,
The fates will not be kind for pity s
sake.
You can't afford to look the part of one
whose hope has fed,
You can't afford to show the wounds up
on your bleeding head;
The world looks on the somber man as
one whose soul is dead,
And cheers men for the hopeful fights
they make

Because the Benton Harbor high
school won game from South Haven
by a score of IL to l, they are "seein'

the Palladium shows at is believed
that the Benton Harbor team can easily
win the championship of this part of he
state at base ball. Last year the Paw
Paw team claimed the state champion
ship and they have an equally strong
team this year, yet they only defeated
Hartford to l, while Benton Harbor
made it ID to in seven innings, and it
is believed that Paw Paw would fail an
easy prey to Captain Caldwell's well
trained men. The next game on the
schedule will be played at Niles noxt
Saturday with the Niles high school
team, and on May 26 the Niles team will
play a return game in this city. 1t is
believed that Niles will be as easily dis
posed of as Hartford and South Haven.
If we beat Niles we will have won the
championship of the county, and it does
not seem that Paw Paw could lay any
claim to honors after they could not
beat Hartford any worse than they did.
Next Saturday, South Haven and Paw
Paw will play and it can easily be seen
after that game how Paw Paw would
stand against Benton Harbor."

close friend of President Lincoln
and Secretary Stanton. and three
children-Cornelia, Fannie and
Brooke. About II years ago mis-
fortune overlook the family. There
was dissension. Corbett began to
drink and neglect his work and
interest in the Covenant Sunday
school, and his family lived apart
from him on an allowance. The
fathers habits preyed upon Fan
MES mind so that she was finally
placed in the state asylum at
Staunton, Va.
Young Brooke attempted to
make living for the family, but
did not prosper, although the pas
tor, Rev. Hamlin, secured him sew
eral positions. He became unbal-
anced also and was sent to the
Stanton asylum. He was paroled
for 60 days, but rather than 60
back shot himself.
The father died in May, 1897,
from an overdose of choral. He
left large part of the estate to
his wife and daughter Cornelia.
The executor found it heavily in.
volved, however, and some months
before the two women were put
into the asylum revenues from the
estate ceased coming to them. The
two lived in a suburb with the
remnant of the beautiful things
with which they had surrounded
themselves in the days of their
prosperity. They were evicted
from this house.
Cornelia earned little with her
needle and brush, and with aid
from charitable people they were
living a pathetic, retired life when
their misfortune eliminated with
the commitment to the asylum.

she signed the affidavit reluctantly
and under a misapprehension of
what the consequences would be.
She says the Corbetts had become
charge upon the church and it
was her belief that by signing the
document IAN investigation would
be started" and that relatives of
the Corbetts would come to the
front and look after them"
DR.. Hamlin's view of the Corbett
affair is based upon his belief that
they were insane. He says that
he had noticed traces of mental
alteration in Mrs. Corbett years
ago. Certain remarks which she
made to him about a sermon which
he preached, he says, revealed to
him her unsettled state of mind.
AS time went on, he says, he noted
the growth of Authorizations Mrs.
Corbett talked to him about
wrongs in not having more money
from their estate. Miss Cornelia
became convinced that they were
not treated right by the executors.
The women were troubled continu-
ally about the stories about Frank
Corbett, the deceased father. All
these things, DR.. Hamlin believed,
were delusions. He considered the
secluded life the ladies led to be
unnatural and says he laid awake
at night wondering what they
would not do. He says he feared
they would commit suicide, and
therefore he decided to act vigor-
ously in the matter.
Mrs. Corbett is the widow of
Frank Corbett, once prominent in
the tobacco business, politics and
the church. The family consisted
of him, his wife, who was a daugh-
ter of Judge Thos. Hood, who came

Previous to the success of the
efforts to rescue the women from
the asylum, District Judge Ber-
nard had refused a habeas corpus
application after hearing the testi-
mony Of DR.. Hamlin and others.
Before their commitment to the
asylum the Corbetts were in finan-
cial distress and used to write let
ters to DR.. Hamlin to get help, it
is said. Mrs. Hamlin often called
upon them with clothing and pro-
visions. At the behest of DR.. Ham,
lin, while he was abroad, Dr. Bur-
rift spent more money on them.
