If you can keep your head when all about
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
doubt YOU
But make allowance for their doubling too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about don't deal in lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too
wise;
If you can dream-and not make dreams
your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts
your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impOsters just the same,
If you can bear to hear the truth you've
spoken
Twisted by knaves to make trap for fools.
Or watch the things you gave your life to,
broken.
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout
tools;
If you can make one heap of all your win
ningS,
And risk It on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and
sinew
To serve your turn long after they are
gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: Hold
on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your
virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common
touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt
you,
If all men count with you, but none too
much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it
And-which is more-you'n be a Man, my
SON.

INCREASE RAILROAD TAXES
Bill Introduced in House Making 5000
More From Delaware Railroad.

Bill introduced in House Making $4,000
More From Delaware Railroad.
The first legislation of an anti
rairoad nature has come up in the
House of Representatives in the
form of notice of bill in the hands
of the former speaker of the House
of Representatives, DR.. T. o.
Cooper, of Wilmington. 1t is the
bill advocated by the Revenue Com
mission. The bill increases the an
nual payment from the Delaware
Railroad Company $4,000, making
the company pay lump sum of $685.
900 in Communication of all State
taxes" which means the per capita
and per ton taxation that was long
ago ruled out as cumbersome and not
satisfactory. Nearly every Legisla-
ture has had before it bills increas-
ing the payment on the part of the
Delaware Railroad Company to the
State. This always brought about a
battle royal throughout the session
between the railroad lobbyists and
the Legislators. The company now
operates total track mileage of
246. Is of which more than half is in
this State. For awhile the company
only paid the State $40, 900 year.
while for a short strip of track
through the northern end of the State
another company paid $40, 900. An
effort was made to get the Delaware
Railroads State tax up to $40, 900
but this always failed.
