test with Johnny Dundee April 26 at
Vernon. Kilbane declared that II would
be matter of only a short time until
he would be unable 10 make the 1872
limit and be at his best, but a still
more potent factor he said. was the
fact that after he disposed of Dundee
there would be no one left in the

inmate who desires to promote the
welfare of his present community.
A thought found in the back of
an old time book; author unknown
to me:
It is easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like a song,
But the fellow worth while
Is the one who can smile,
When everything goes dead wrong.
For the test of the heart is trouble,
And it always comes with the years,
But the smile that is worth
The praises of earth,
Is the smile that shines through tears.
