HOW DID YOU DIET

Did you tackle that trouble that came your way
With a resoute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light Of day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh a troubles a ton, troubles an ounce,
Or a trouble is what you make it,
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth? Well. WELL what's thatY
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against to fall down fiat
But TO lie there-thats disgrace.
The harder you're thrown why the higher you bounce
Be proud of your blackened eye.
IL isn't the fact that you're licked that counts,
IT'S how did you Highland why?
And though You he done death what then?
II you batted the best you could,
II you played your part in the world OF men,
Why the Critic will call it good
Death comes with a crawl. comes with pounce,
And whether he's slow spry
II isn't the fact that you're dead that counts.
But only how did you die?

There were several persons indicted,
at these terms and all Of them who
were charged with selling without a

been several saloon keepers who have
confessed to tr%ansgressing the old

and costs back. There is no way by
law in which they can collect where.
money has been paid under a mis-.

There Is one, or two men in the

selling without a license who have
been convicted under the old Law
since the new law is in operation.
What will be done in these cases has
not been determined.
