HIS OWN MANAGER.

The actor On the stage Of life.
He doesn't have cue
Or low suggestion from the side
To help him hurry through.
No; he must struggle with the plot
And action of the play
And all unaided by himself
Must think of things to say.
No limelight plays about his head,
No band starts a refrain
To help him over places hard
And make the meaning plain.
The makeup man on whom he leans
Sells hand-me-downs unless
The old clothes man with secondhands
Supplies his modest dress.
And If he does a noble deed
Or aids q worthy cause
He knows too much to stand around
And wait for the applause
He feels the chance for getting praise
For it is mighty slim.
The audience sits back and says,
whats in the thing for him?"
The actor and the actorine
Must dig and save and scrub
Because stage money will not pay
For furniture and grub.
If playing on the stage of life.
II doesn't end in talk.
No odds how fancy is his line,
The ghost will never walk.

of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field, as
a final resting place for those WHO
here gave their lives that that ma
tion might live. It is altogether
fitting and proper that we should
do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can
not dedicate-we cannot conse-

and dead, who Struggled here. have
consecrated it. far above our poor
power to add or detract. The
world will little note, nor long re-

can never forget what they did
here. 1t is for us. the living,
rather, to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far SO nobly
advanced 1t is rather for us to
be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us-that from
these honored dead we take In
