GO RIGHT ON WORKING. 4h, yes, the task is hard 'tis true, But what's the use of sighing? They're soonest with their duties through, Who bravely keep on trying, There's no advantage to be found In sorrowing or shirking; They with success are soonest crowned Who just go right on working. Strive patiently and with a will That shall not be defeated; Keep singing at your task until You see it stand completed. Nor let the clouds of doubt draw Be brave, and fill your heart cheer, And just go right on working. —Nixon Waterman, in Success. near, with Story . : . $ Millionaire, Miss Win The “You ston, timat “I have, and it “And yet you say that you “Yes, “But Flo?" “Bi of a told me ve me." i8 Love have just you lo can never and that i why will ause I have given my word to Fred Denton cigar into the of and whistled long Flora Winston in a punt, osity behind a drooping low boughs It the day Summer holi and were returning to t« passed tnree happy Joyment f Flora bed old milli —had o full her Fred De first pani nating cannot.
