Il Couldn't Be Done

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with chuckle, replied
That maybe it couldn't but he would be one who
Wouldn't say SO till he'd tried"
So he bucked right in with the trace Of grin
On his face If he worried, he hid it;
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: ooh, you'll never do that
At least, no one ever has done it.
But he took off his coat and took off his hat,
And the first hing we knew he'd begun it.
With the lift of his chin and a bit of grin,
Without any doubling or quiddt. j.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done and he did it,
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands to point out to you one by
lT one
The dangers that await to assail you.
But just buckle right in with bit of grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it,
Just start to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it.

MOSQUE THEATRE OFFERINGS.
Gilbert & Sullivan's Famous Opera
Company Coming.

The programme this week at the
Mosaue Theatre has been enthuSi-
astIslly received by large audi,
ences. Jack Sidney, in his "Dancin'
Around", scored heavily. He fea-
tured Olga & Mishka Co., direct
from ARTISTS and Models" Moran
& Wiser, late stars of Broadway
Brevities", added materially to the
attractions, while the Dooley Twins
astonished and delighted the happy
throng present to greet them. The
Mosque "Mad Dancers" were unique
and pleasing, while the Richmond
talent on the stage demonstrated
conclusively, the remarkable skill
shown by those who trained them,
The Pathe presentation of THE
Blue Danube, an Austrian play,
was both historical and thrilling,
The great Gilbert & Sullivan
Operas, under the joint management
Of the News-Leader and the Mosque
Theatre, is the subject OF much
speculation. The seats have gone
on@ sale with a rush. "Iolanthe,
the pirates of Penzance," and the
"Mikado," are operas with a world
wide reputation and significance.

SATURDAY ........MAY 49, 1898
THE OUTLOOK.

The nomination of Gov. Alfred T.
Smith. of New York, for Presl-
dent BY the National Democratic
Convention at Houston, Texas, next
month is now generally conceded by
all people, save the extremists Oh
the Senator j. Thomas Helm type.
It is presumed that ne will make
GOOD showing and that his star
of Destiny, may land him in the
Waite House of the nation. Al
ready, the opposition is rearranging
it's lines to meet this peculiar situ-
alton.
The Tammauy Hall managers
have proven that the astuteness IN
politics is not confined to the En-
pire State. The only weakness IN
it all is that the strenuous exertlon
in securing the nomination of their
candidate may result in an untore-
seen exhaustion when it comes to
the election. Unless all signs fail,
the Republicans propose to put for
ward a candidate, whose Republican,
ism is his least asset. He Is not
Objectionable to conservative Demo-
Gratis and he has no record to arouse
the antipathies of the bourbon eie-
ment of the same party.
His superb handling of the Mis-
issippi flood situation, followed by
the passing of a relief measure OF
approximately three hundred and
twenty-seven million dollars, with
much more to follow is a counter
play by the Republican strategists,
who propose to Guido the Tammany
slogan for Gov. Smith,-he can
carry New York. 1t is reasonable
to presume that the loss OF New
York State to the Republicans will
be Offset by the carrying by theI
Republicans of several border South
srn States and Hon. Herbert G.
Hoover appears to be the man to
do it. .
So far as Hon. Alfred E. Smith
of New York is concerned, it isl
admitted that he viii poll large
colored vote, thousands of colored ,
people admire him, On the other
hand there has been no 'Lily-white" /
attitude on the part of Hon. Her
bert C. Hoover and there is no,
just reason, why they should oppose !
him. Certain it is, he occupies
the position of vantage. The Pro-
hbitionists are openly antagonistie
to ssakh and the. retormefs OF tbs !.
country are bitterly opposed to mis-
luyYege carriers and managers from
Tanssasy Hall.
The only consolation the average
Democrat has in the premises is
found in the fact that he is the
strongest candidate now appearing
to view upon their political horizon.
He may win and no other member
of that party has either hope
or g chance to do the same thing.
So, "There ye aire." Selah.
