Be a Cheerful Loser.

My friend when you take
out a sack of chips in any game
you want to make up your mind
to be good loser" says Bert
Walker in the Osborne County
Farmer. If you can't do it,
don't take out the chips. You
can't always win. Never bet
more than you can afford to lose.
The world loves a good loser and
always does him honor, and for
tune never fails to come from be-
hind the clouds and smile on him
some other day. But the bad
loser becomes the laughing stock
of the whole community and the
butt or ridicule. 1t is bad enough
to lose the game but worse to
lose your temper. If you lose
and smile enough. the day will
come when you won't care which
way the wind blows. In other
words, you should always re.
member that Laugh and the world
laugs with you; cry and you cry
alone Therefore, laugh wher
you are a winner, and come as
near as you can to it when YOU
are a loser"

sionable qualities of those who
would remember nothing of the
trial save the logic of his appeal

favor of the contention that a
possibility should outweigh all

testimony to the contrary, and it
