Lord! I've had enough and double
reason for complaint;
Rain and STORM have come to fret me
skies are often gray;
ThOrns and brambles have beset me

Just forget it-just forget lit ls

What's the use of always weepin,
maxim trouble last?
What's the use of always keepin'
thinkin' of the past?
Each must have his tribulation, water
with his wine.
Life, 1t amt no celebration. TROUBLED
I've had mine
Let's forget it-Let's forget it
cause today Is fine.

High school, let us say that the one

have to study has screw loose in
his makeup somewhere which will
soon show up to his sorrow, and the
disappointment of his friends.
The school display Of the Reforma-

straight and do right from the be-
ginning. There will be no need of
reforming.
