SOME GOOD LEFT.

 When all Is said and done, I guess the world is not 30 bad. There are many ways of learning how to laugh and to be glad And there are ways of turning your mis- fortunes to account For when the sum of life is known, what does 1t all amount To, save that we are put here for the hriefest sort of while And the cheapest way to live 1t is to live it with a smile? Some people say they cannot see the use of anything. They're gloomy in the winter time and gloomy in the spring They VOW we're going to the bad, and in hurry, too, But don't let their complaining make a pessimist of you. There's sunshine in the valleys and there s joy upon the hills And there's music in the murmur of thousand mountain rills.
 persons will declare. It's pretty good to live in and you'll find that everywhere You so some spots are pleasing and some individuals kind, And there is simple comfort, too, and there is peace of mind For everyone who'll seek 1t, be his sta- tlon high or low, Regardless of the fuss made by the folks who grumble so.

 Get out in the country,
 Get out In the air,
 Shake off all your troubles,
 Your gloom and despair.
 Knock off and go fishing,
 Lie under the trees,
 Be lazy and idle,
 Do just as you please
 It surely won't hurt you
 To bring back the days When you were more eager.
 And glad in your ways; When life was more rosy And joyful and new And heartaches and worry Had not come to you. !. Get out in the country And loaf for day, Ths birds In abandon Are singing away. The mountains are calling, The valleys invite And the ocean is pounding The shore in delight. To a newspaper writer who bespeaks mercy for cattle, we wish to reply that the cattle who climb over us during in- termissions at the theatre for the pur- pose of going after a drink deserve no mercy.
