STAND THE eAFF.

The iron must enter your soul, my lad
Stand the gait;
The hour will come when your ears
will smart,
When your cheeks will burn and the
tears viii start
Let 'em laugh;
For the testing of manhood is cruel
thing,
And the last of suspicion is heavy
with sting,
And SANDER and gossip are waiting to
fling.
Their mud at the beat of ambitions
strong wing.
Injustice has always been ready with
lies,
She's ahead on the heights and ex-
pecting your rise;
You must pay for your. progress, for
there's no success
Where the wof-pack OF envy does not
help and press,
You must pay for your courage, you
can't dare the stars
And escape without anguish and
bruises and scars.
The cheat and the coward are trail
ing your track,
The sneak turks behind you to stab
in the back,
Keep honor, no matter how heavy
the cost,
Keep honor, nothing that counts can
be lost.
When the choice lies before you to
be seem right.
Then to H with appearances
stand up and fight.
Herbert Kaufman.
