It is significant, however. that Increased cost
of supplies did not necessitate an increase in the

budget for this year is 11,73S.29 less than the
budget for last year. 1t is to be supposed that

REVERSES


So live that when reverses come

There is no more absurd mistake
than that of blowing all We make.
Reverses come to every door. in

Job you hold may fizzle out; your
cherished pep may disappear. your
aunt may come to spend a year.
And when the day of sorrow dawns,
and you are numbered with the
pawns with which Misfortune idly
plays, how much cold money can
you raise? Are your resources mere
ly dreams of money thrown away in
streams? Twas but a little while
ago that every gent had lots of
dough; the worker drew a princely
hire, and l wore out a costly Tyre
~beseeching him to ave the mon
while it was coming by the ton.
Some wise boys listened to my rede
and sailed down their chicken feed:
