DON'T DESPAIR
Though Dame Fortune throws you down
Don't despair,
Build another castle, friend,
la the air.
Build it better than the old.
Build It fair and line with gold.
Then proceed with courage bold.
Don't dcepain.
Winners never cry, “Enough,"
Don't despair.
They are made of sterner »tuC—
Do and date.
"Tie the quitter that glfes in;
Aid he’ll-never, never win -,
Jus you wear the cheerful grin,
Din't despair.
Long the lane that never turns;
Don't despair.
And a,man gets what he earns—
On the square.
Honest efforts ever pay,
wind succeas will come some day;
Confidently go your way,
'Don't despair.

out of the 835,514 aggregating $20,580,•

remittances is due to incorrect or incom

payees without trace.
Four months ago, with a tota lof 1,659
undelivered remittances, the Y. M. C. A.

assiitance in locating payees. Since that
