KEEP STEPPING
“K«*e|» stepping, Joe.” was the
telegram sent by Mrs. Cans to her
*on. the colored pugilist. before
his Now Year’s Hay battle.
It's mighty good advice for all_
Keep stepping;
It holds l„ hovel or in hall.
On this old rushing, Terncled ball,
8a pay attention to this call_
Keep stepping
>on’t dally on the primrose way —
Ke H stepping.
Count not a singlo wasted day;
J st think what Mrs. (Jans would
say,
\nd let tills he your joyous lay—
Keep stepping!
If parson or if pugilist.
Keep stepping;
IT using brains or heels or fist
Don’t let another get the grist.
Or by the world you’ll ne’er be mis
sed—
Keap stepping!
If fate on you the cards has stacked
Keep stepping;
There’s no use crying, that’s a
fact;
So, If both pedals you have lackel.
Just do a logless wouder act—
Keep stopping!
Denver Republican.
SUCCESS. .
Sorely tired and sorely tempted,
From no agonies exempted,
I it *he penance of his trial,
And the dinciplino of pain;
Often by illusions cheated,
Often bailed and defeated
fn the task to be completed,
Ho by toil and self denal,
To the highest shall attain.
— Longfellow.

It Is not generally known that

There Is u story, told of one of the
famous Uowellyna, who had taken
up his residence In ICnglnnd. to the
effect that during the groat famine
id Ireland lie went through almost
every section of the Kmernld tale
exchanging much desired gold for
limps belonging t fa m Ino-Ht rick -
on peasants. Naturally the peas
ant* wer* glad enough to soli their
harps and anything olao they pow*
aoaiiod for food, or money to buy
food, and tho drat thing Irishmen
knew thoy were practically harplcss.
Scarcely a single Irish instrument
could be scared up in any community
and then they began to wonder
whnt had become of their harps. Hy
that time the dread and horror of
j the famine had paaned and the
ephp^neral n|drtts of tho sons of
Krln were light and woubl make
merry, but how could they slug and
dance without their beloved harps?
Then It w.i^ djbteovdrod one man
owned practically all the Irish harps
and when he did part with them
It Is said that the price received was
far in advance of that given sonic
time before. History Inis recorded
no scroll drorner In these celestial
Instruments.
