TIE VIRelNIA,s MASCOT

A black bear is the much priced pet
of the United States warship Virginia.
This bear has been taught to smoke a
pipe and to perform various other
tricks, and is very fond of taking his
seat in q bucket. He dearly loves get
ting in the way of the hose when the
decks are being washed down, and re-
moving him from the scene always
means a rough-and-tumble, which the
animal to all appearances thoroughly
enjoys-Wide World Magazine.

SMILE

Smile when luck is breaking wrong
Chant n snatch or two Of song,
Cheerfulness will keep you strong
Where discomfort will fail.
Yours is not the hardest lott
Make the most Of what you've got;
Smile a bit, for kicking's not
A thing that will avail.
Smile though dark and long the day,
Knowing it's the only way;
You can win out in the fray
And conquer adverse luck
If you wear smile OF cheer;
Push ahead and persevere.
Riding roughshod over fear
And showing grit and pluck.
Let the other fellow frown
Who admits that he is down;
You may never gain renown,
But smile and life's worth while!
Laughter makes the heart beat young;
The pessimist will die unsung,
But you can be "A man among
Men, II you only smlle
