SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
SeIf-ReIiance.

Self Reliance.
AS for knowledge we are seeking
We have heard a lot of speaking.
BY present company or radio
We admire the erudition
AS one man takes a position
And another says his teachings are
not so.
We may sometimes grow regretful
And perhaps little. fretful
AS they read and offer wisdom at q
glance.
Mere advice in an grafton
Will not solve your situation.
You must use your common sense
and take your chance.

venience. but it sacrifices a certain ele-
ment of ceremony which had come to
be a part Of daily experience.
