COURAGE.

'Tis easy enough 10 sing, my dear
Through a pleasant morn in June,
Easy to join with the warbling birds,
In singing a blythesome tune;
But different far TO lift your voice,
When the rain beats time TO our weary
hearts.
And all that Is sweet Is dead
For the hero is he who sings his song
When the skies are drear, and the
world goes wrong.
'Tis easy 20 speak a word OF cheer,
When hopes of our own are bright,
Easy 10 bid one forget his grief
And bid him be strong in life's fight;
But different far TO cheerNour friends,
When hearts of our own despair,
when brains are throbbing beneath the
load,
OF burdens TO hard to bear;
For the hero is he who gives his cheer,
When grief is surging and days are
drear.
'Tis easy enough TO smile, my dear,
When others arc smiling too,
Easy TO laugh when others laugh.
Comes cchoing back TO YOU;
But different far when those you love,
Return your smile with a frown,
And different far to rise again
When you are buneted down.
And the hero is he who smiles his
smile
When grief is surging the live long
while.

How truel In the mud and scum Of
things-down in the blackest depths Of
despair that we can reach-there is al
ways the possibility of something
singing-singing a song OF hope and

it sing, in fact. But it is there and
will sing II encouraged to do so.
No matter how dark and forbidding
the clouds that hang over you; no mat

about that suggestion will spur you

ed at the great Eastern Intercollegiate
track meet which will be held Satur-
day at Philadelphia. Captain Henry

both the mile and two-mile races at
the New England Intercollegiates last
saturday and maker Of the record time
OF min., II sec. at the Maine meet
heid at Lewiston the week before, Will
PROBABLY leave Brunswick on Wednes-
day for Philadelphia. He will be pitted
IN the mile there against the best 1860
yard men in the country including the
Tar famed Willie PAUL. Captain Col
bath, who has been called one of the
most remarkable runners in the coun-
try, is still strong despite the three
hard races he has had in the past two
weeks. In all three of these races he
has crossed the finish line first by a
comfortable margin. Sumner Edwards.
10 of Bethel who has won the low
hurdles at both the Maine and Inter-
collegiate meets for the past two years,
will also probably go with Goliath. A
week ago Saturday in poor alley on
Garcelon field, Edwards made the re-
markable time in his trial heat Of "a As

the best time of such previous Inter-
collegiate runners as Shaw of Dart

Now he is clean of all surplus fesf
and he looks to be in as good shape as

was now thoroughly anxious to pre-
size over the contest and felt entirely

Baseball Notes

The Yale Varsity team is strewing
the errors about with a lavish hand.
Fifty errors have been made in the
last 10 games. OF these six were made
in one game, seven in another. eight
in another and nine in another.
Rev. E. V. Hinchman, recently in
stalled as pastor of the Methodist

sports. and is organizing baseball, foot
ball and basketball teams among the
Sunday school scholars.
Pitcher Maybohm has been rein
stated by the Lawrence management
and fine of $50 set aside. The slab
Dist agreed to do what the manage
ment told him to do. and he will be
retained by Manager Bannon and not
go to BrocktOn.
The New York Tribune says: Those
who have been predicting that Johnny
King. the star catcher of the Chicago
Cubs, will not come back are begin
ming to change their tune. Perha ps
those who are talking about Jim JEFF
fries the same way will get shock on
July 4.
Brockton New England League team
has been released by Manager Flana-
gan, the acquisition Of Fred Jolly, for
merly of Lawrence, and the shifting
