REFLECTIONS OF A. BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
Women are too good for the world; men
too bad for heaven.
Careful judgment can smother the life
out OF almost any fun in the world.
A good temper helps man to stand a
lot of abuse from people who have bad
ones.
The consolation person has for losing
his grip on, thing is pretending he got
bored with 1t.
II a woman can cut down the hoirse ex-
penses little, her husband can run them
UP lot on his drinks and cigars

portion Of the opera will fall to Mr.. DAM

of the chorus is urged for Thursday night.
All the rehearsals take place at Cable

A MEMORY.
That organ-erinder's plaintive tune
1t carries ME afar,
Back to the land of Yesterday,
Where childish fancies are.
How long, how long since little hearts
In happy bosoms beat,
When Tony and Jock from Napoli
Came marching down the street!
We thought no sweeter music then
Glad youngsters all aglow;
| would that were the only change
Since days of long ago.

THE SUNSHINE RACE"

THE SUNSHINE RACE"
Oh, the Sunshine race Is the race for
me
Whose hearts over-brim with laughter
free;
Who follow the road wherever it goes
And never seem to care which way the
wind blows.
They're the sort who always come out on
top
And Gull the sweetest blooms from
troubles crop
They are the kind who make this life
worth while
And brighten the world with a holiday
smile.
Let the rain come down and the clouds
hang low,
They'll never stand around with look
of woe,
They'll Just keep busy and cheerful. too.
And patiently wait for a glimpse of the
blue.
