The Quitter

When you're lost in the wild, and you're scared as a child, And death looks you bang in the eye, And you're sore as a boil, it's according to Hoyle, To cock your revolver-and die. But the code of a man, says "Fight all you can," And self-destruction is barred, In hunger and woe, oh, it's easy to blow, It's the hell-served-for-breakfast that's hard.

"You're sick of the game?" Well, now that's a shame. You're yowrg, and you're brave, and you're bright. "You've had a raw deal?" I lrrow, but don't squeal, Buck up, do your damndest, and fight. It's the plugging away that will win you the day, So, don't be a piker, old pard, Just draw on your grit; it's so easy to quit; ft's keeping your chin up that's hard.

It's easy to cry that you're beaten-and die; ft's easy to crawfish, and crawl; But to fight and to fight, when hope's out of sight, Well, that's the best game of them all. And though you come out of each gruelling bout, All broken, and beaten, and scarred, Just have one more try-it's easy to dieIt's, the keeping-on-living that's hard.

-Robert W. Service.

ENTHUSIASM

Enthusiasm is the money, and power,

greatest asset in the world. It beats and influence. Single-handed the en-

Enthusiasm tramples over prejudice and opposition, spurns inaction, storms the citadel of its object, and like an avalanche overwhelms and engulfs all obstacles. It is nothing more or less than faith in action.-Henry Chester.
