Dear reader, what have you now to
say about this letter? She could tell
you lots more that would open your
eyes The reason why she said the
ship belonged to sam was that her
Hurst tried To- tie up the ship in a
law suit and sam won because the
title was iu his name. We called the
followers attention to this fact and
they declared they could take his
word for it in preference TO a mort
gage from % citizen here. Now, let
them suffer.
But before We close this article,

unloading of worthless or next to
worthless stock on the public upon
the representation that it was bound
to be a big winner as soon as the
companies involved could be put
upon their feet. A commission was
named under the terms of the law to
pass upon the validity of all stock to
be offered for sale, and moody was

CHEERING SOME ONE ON.

Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry after fame;
Dor't you grieye about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in life's the simplest,
Love will last when wealth Is gone;
Just be glad that you r living,
And keep cheering some n
Let the neighbors have the blossoms,
Let your comrades wear the crown;
Never mind the little set-backs
Nor the blows that knock you down.
You'll be there when they're forgot
ten,
You'll be glad with youth and dawn,
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering some n on.
There's a lot of sorrow round you,
Lots of lonesomeness and tears,
Lots Of h~eartaches and of worry
Through the shadows OF the years
And the world needs mor than tri
nmphs,
More than all the swords we've drawn
IT Is h%ungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering some one on.
Let the wind around you whistle,
And the storms around you play;
You'll be here with Drawn and grist1t
When the conquerors decay.
You'll be here in memories sweetenet
IN the souls you've saved from pawr
If you put aside the victories
And keep cheering some one on
Baltimore Sun.

but perhaps there would be no Eter
