Make us fret;
Tribulations fit for scorning
Thcro's n fresh chanco overy morning

Even If hard luck pursuo you,
Don't glvo In;
Though Dnino Fortune j fall to woo

Keep a stout heart for. tomorrow
And you'll win.

"old lady"?
No man acquires tho secret of

Whether Porto RIcans nroHo bo suc

ably and glvo thorn n, definite politi
