The leniency of the law has been
subjected to some severe criticism,
but even it's defenders will admit
that the privilege of carrying deadly
weapons should be denied prisoners
coming to court for sentence. That
prisoner in such circumstances
should attempt to shoot up the court
like the mountain desperadoes will
probably surprise the public, who
naturally suppose that no chance is
given to retain or obtain firearms
when a man is called before a judge
to receive his punishment.

The supreme court of New York
contains a modern Solomon among It's
Justices This Judge recently ruled
in a separation case that jealousy is
cision this ruling in human nature
must stand. Some unoffi cial experts
contend that jealousy is sign OF
love, it is true, but of self-love. This
error has now been corrected by
court decree.

GRIM.

Not bit of use to grumble,
You're the only boy to blame;
If you looked you wouldn't stumble
Don't get red and roar and rumble,
Don't you flare and flame,
Very foolish thing to swear; it
Doesn't help your shin,
just brace up and grin and bear it
Grin.
Nothing's ever helped by kicking;
Hurts you all the more.
Don't let people see it's sticking
In your craw-that thorough licking
Don't you show you're sore,
Make light of the whole affair; it
May seem pretty thin;
Still, it's best to grin and bear it.
Grin.
Don't get pop-eyed, gasp and bubble
When a thing goes wrong,
True as gospel, that in trouble,
Troubling always makes it double,
Lasting twice as long.
Don't look gloomy and despair; it
Never helped to win.
Just brace up and grin and bear it.
Grin.
