THE STUFF THAT COUNTS

The test of man is the fight he makes,
The grit that he daily shows
The way he stands on his feet and takes
Fate's numerous bumps and blows.
A coward can smile when there's naught
to fear
When nothing his progress bars,
But it takes a man to stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars.
1t isn't the victory after all,
But the fight that a brother makes;
The man who, driven against the way,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of Gate with his head held high,
Bleeding, and bruised and pale,
Is the man who'll win in the by and by,
For he isn't afraid to fail.
It's the bumps you get, and the jolts you get,
And the shocks that your courage stands,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prize that escapes your hands,
That test your mettle and prove your worth;
1t isn't the blows you deal,
But the blows you take on the good old earth
That shows if your stuff is real.

Is for you to go to the Gazette on the run,
Tell the Editor to insert the following ad,
Accept the first offer and Rudolph, be
glad!
FOR SALE
A car, called a Ford, with pistons and

Two smashed up wheels, and broken
springs;
Has jambed up fenders and eaky tank,
Headlights broke, and I've lost the

Carbureter s in place-on the blink, too;
Engine hits fne-on three and two;
Side curtains ripped, the back is caved in,
Snapped off too is the shifting pin.
Has Ford radiator, and 1 swear it leaks;
Windshield s broke, differential tweaks;
All tools missing, steering knucke is bent;
Front tires ruined not worth cent;
Dash fixtures gone, the rear tires the same,
Taken by party who left no name.

MEMORY

Just little bit of heaven comes to me each
lonely day,
Ev'ry evning as mediate and dream the
hours away;
Then a graceful form steals softly in on
mem'ry's silent wings,
To my eyes fairy picture of my own
dear mother brings.
Then the hours pass by unheeded as l
gaze with wonder rare
On the face of her l loved and lost, spun
out of dreams and air.
Yet | know she is not wholly lost her
mem'ry still remains
In the thoughts of happy by-gone days as
ev'ry slow day wanes.
All! sweet dreams do not forsake me, let
her come to me each night,
Let me look upon her silv'ry hair and see
her eyes shine bright
Though it only be a vision made of
dreamy thoughts and air,
Each long ev'ning brings me comfort if 1
see my mother there

A WORD TO THE WISE

Necessity is the mother of invention"
And sometimes, an excuse for crime.
We've all heard of, "An ounce of preven-

Let this be a moral, in rhyme
Harmony, is the blending of good deed and
thought
1t is as splendid in life as in song,
We all may possess it, it cannot be bought
And with it no man can so wrong.

A reader of this column has taken offence

ing that members of the audience reserve
their applause for timely moments other
than as one who would regret the can

that directors put in pictures that will be

Like the street corner "grifter," the
