HE MUST DIG.
He wanted a Job, and like every one
else,
We wanted a good one, you know,
Where his clothes would not soil and
his hands would keep clean.
And the salary mustn’t be low.
He asked for a pen, but they gave
him a spade;
And he half turned away with a
shrug.
But he altered his mind, and, seizing
the spade—he dug!
He worked with a will that is bound
And the months and the years went
along.
The way it was rough, and the labor
was hard.
But his heart he kept filled with a
song.
Borne jeered him and sneered at the
task, but he plugged
Just as hard as he ever could plug;
Their words never seemed to disturb
him a bit—as he dug.
The day came at last when they call
ed for the spade
And gave him a pen in its place.
The joy of achievement was sweet to
his taste,
And victory shone in his face.
We can’t always get what we hope for
at first—
Success cuts many queer Jigs—
But one thing is sure, a man will suo-
ceed—if he digs.
—Selected.
THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.
Ability doesn’t count, knowledge la
useless, experience has no worth
without the driving force of optimism.
—Kaufman.
• • •
The year-book’s closed and sealed at
last,
Nor can I alter what is past,
My griefs, my pleasures, thoughts
and acts,
Are all on record as plain facts.
But here before me pure and white,
Are pages now on which to write.
Ive but to choose ’twixt joy and sor
row,
.And start my future from tomorrow.
—Uoyd.
