The orphan should have tender care,
The sinner should repent;
The cripple's legs should soon be

His wIthered arms be strong,
And I'd at once obliterate
The days when THONGS go wrong
I'd cause the lazy to arise
And turn from slothfulness;
I'd cause the foolish 10 pc wise,
The brave to win success;
The ones who walk in silent ways
Should have the gift OF song,
And Id abolish all the days
When everything goes wrong.
Where warfare rs there should be

WHY WoRRY7
(Milwaukee sentinel.

N"h oCutlucl.l
Sickness may come; death may be
at the door; but the man who does moi
give up cuts down the doctor bills and
cheats the undertaken altogether.
Business deals may go wrong and
financial disaster may threaten. but

Poverty may be at the door. and
hard luck may bring adversely. but
the man who takes his fortune with 4

So, why worry?
Worry saps vitality, brings gray
