SOCIAL EVENTS
: •« TO THOSE WHO FAIL
"All honor to him who shall win
the prize,”
The world har cried for a thou
sand years;
■
But to him who tries, and who
fails and dies,
I give honor and glory and
tears.
Give honor and glory and pitiful
tears
To all who fall in the deeds
sublime;
Their ghosts are many in the van
_
of years,
They vyere torn with Time in
advance of Time.
Oh, great is the hero who wins a
a name,
But greater many and many a
time
Some pale faced fellow who
in shame,
And let’s God finish the
thoughts sublime.
And great is the man with a
sword undrawn,
And good is the man who re
frains from wine;
But the man who fails and
still fights on,
Lo, he is the twin-born brother
of mifte. "
—Joaquin Miller.

The wild-west effect of the second

trimming of the turned-up brim of
the third is its contribution to this
