HunOr and
Philosophy
By DUNCAN ~. SMITH
OUR MASTER.

We bow before the goddess Chance.
We may not like her manner
Or care to take our place in line
And march beneath her banner.
But very little pick we have
Or choosing Of our courses
To say which way our steps shall lead.
For she commands the forces.
We lie awake the night before
And plan the day succeeding,
Lay out a course that to success
In lines direct is leading.
But when we come to execute
The skillful plans provided
We find that chance has come along
And with our schemes collided.
We plan to be a merchant prince.
An artist or drummer.
Chance comes along and makes OF US
A very useful plumber.
We mark out ways which. foio"cd,
must,
We figure, lead to riches,
But nfmbIe chance gets in Its work,
And we are digging bitches.
And so we blunder on through lie,
A football and buffet.
Instead of Easy street for ours,
We find we have to rough 1t.
Chance makes us rich or makes VI
poor
Or gives us Joy or sorrow.
: We know about our yesterdays:
Chance fixes up tomorrow.
