Cohan * Did you ever sit and ponder, sit and wonder, sit and think, Why we're liere and what this life is all about? It's a problem that has driven many brainy men to drink; It's the weirdest thing they've tried to figure out, About a thousand different theories all the scientists can show, Hut never have proved a reason why With all we've thought and all we've taught. Why all we seem to know is we're born and live awhile and then we die. Life's a very funny proposition, after all, Imagination, jealousy, b.vprocrisy and gall: Three ineals a day, a whole lot to say; When you haven't got the coin you're always in the war. Everybody's fighting as we wend our way along, Ev'ry fellow claims the other fellow's in the wrong; Hurried and worried until we're buried and there's no curtain call; Life's a very funny proposition after all. When all things are coming easy and when luck is with a man, Why then life to him is sunshine ev'rywhere. Then the fates blow rather breezy and they quite upsot. a plan; Then he'll cry that life's a burden hard to bear. Though to day may be a day of smiles, to morrow's still in doubt, And what briugs me joy may bring you care and woe; We're born to die, but don't know why, Or what it's all about, and the more we try to learn these things the less we know. Life's a very funny proposition, you can bet, And no one's ever solved the problem properly as set; Young for a day, then old and gray, hike the rose that buds and blooms and fades and falls away. Losing health to gain our wealth as thro' this dream we tour. Everything's a guess and nothing absolutely sure; Hattle's exciting and fates we're lighting until the curtain's fall. Life's a very funny proposition after all. ' Cumberland Valley Railroad In Effect May 24, ISI4. Train* Lent HnrrUliur* — For Winchester antl Martinsburg. at S.US, *7.30 a. m.. *3.40 p. iu.
