KEEP A-GOIN’!
Ef you strike a thorn or rose,
Keep a-goin’!
'Taint no use to sit an’ whine,
When the fish ain’t on yer line;
Bait your hook an’ keep a-tryin’—
Keep a-goin'!
When the weather kills yer crop,
Keep a-goin’!
When you tumble from the top,
Keep a-goin’!
S’pose you’re out of every dime,
Bein’ so ain’t any crime;
Tell the world you’re feelin’ prime—
Keep a-goin’!
When it looks like all is up,
Keep a-goin’!
Drain the sweetness from the cup,
Keep a-goin’!
See the wild birds on the wing,
Hear the bells that sweetly ring,
When you feel singin’, sing—
Keep a-goin’!
—Frank L. Stanton.
HE KNEW ABOUT MOTHERS
Discussing motherhood in a lec
ture, Professor James once said:
“A teacher asked a boy this ques
tion in fractions: ‘Suppose that
your mother baked an apple pie, and
there were seven of you—the pa
rents and five children. What part
of the pie would you get for your
portion?’
“ ‘A sixth,” answered the boy.
“ ‘But there are seven of you,’
said the teacher. ‘Don’t you know
anything about fractions?'
“ ‘Yes,’ said the boy, ‘I know
about fractions, but I also know
about mothers, too. Mother would
say she didn’t want any pie.’ ”■—
