TJISA'S OPPORTUNITY

were skopticai to whether It could maintain

induBtrial and commercial concerns the city Is
builded upon n permanent foundation and
the future will be just what It's present citizens

civic clubs which are now co-ordinatcd with

zatior should be considered simply the stepping
stone to greater things. without which Tulsa can

THE JOY OF LIFE.

Copyright, 1890, by Edgar A Guest.
Millions have lived and millions have died
And never been known to the world outside
Yet laughter and love were theirs to know
And the Joys OF life on this earth below,
They've known the charm OF the summer
sky,
The song OF the streams as they Travelled by
And, missing all which renown could give,
They found life good and were glad TO live.
why do men hunger no much for fame
That they spurn the Joys which all men may
claim?
Why do men slave to times bitter end
For silver and gold they viii never spend7
why do they weary themselves and break
For few mons cheers or a bauhles sake,
when life gives freely to all below
The self same Joys which the rich may know?
Life is laughter and love and friends,
And peace at night when the toiling ends:
IT'S bearing the burdens that come by day,
And az evening putting them an away,
It's earning a neighbur's grateful smile,
And making the humhlest tasks worth while:
It's In loving children who bear your name
And these you can know without wealth or
fame,
Millions have lived on this kindly earth
And shared in its beauty and gentle mirth;
They have loved It's skies and it's friendly
trees
And it's mountains high and its rowing soas
Though never by fame were their mantles
kissed
| And gold and silver were joys they missed,
| They gathered the sweets which life had TO
give
| And they loved the world and were glad to
live.
