Inquiry elicited the information that
the young man in question kept a small
confectionery, post card and novelty
store at the College, and getting into
financial difficulty left home as the best
way out of his trouble. But being young
and somewhat inexperienced, his imag-
ination made a mountain out of a mole-
hill, and his family want him to return,
as arrangements have been made to
straighten out all difficulties. At last re-
ports the young man had not returned
and his whereabouts are unknown.

IT COULDN'T BE DONE.
BY AN UNIDENTIFIED AUTHOR.
Somebody said that it couldn’t be done,
But he, with a chuckle, replied
That ‘‘maybe it couldn’t’’ but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in, with a trace of a grin
On his face.
If he worried, he hid it,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it !
Somebody scoffed :
“Oh, you'll never do that,
At least no one ever has done it ;’’
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he'd begun it;
With the lift of his chin, and a bit of a grin
Without any doubting or quibbling ;
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it !
There are thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy failure ;
There are thousands to point out to you, one by one,
The dangers that wait to assail you;
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That ‘‘cannot be done?’ and you'll do it !

which is immortal. Her bible was her
daily companion, and from it she sought
comfort in her declining and lonely years.

To entertain the Great High King;
And now an angel around His throne,
He has called her up higher to sing,
