Maine Gossip


LUCK.
Brother, cease your bitter wailng,
Let your sckly frown depart;
Possibly your liver's ailing-
Don't let that affect your heart
Luck. you say, has blessed another
Who has Oft been blessed before
But there's luck remaining, brother,
There is always plenty more
Ever since the first man muttered,
Calling luck a stubborn jade;
Ever since the first swain suffered
Love to an unwilling maid;
Ever since the sky first blended
With the treetops on a hill,
Men have thought good luck was ended
But there's plenty of 1t still.

the average audience. And where he
has been before they are sure to greet
him warmly, for Tom Leigh has a
happy habit of getting acquainted and
making friends from the speakers
