(»oil help the man whose life is aimless!
Find a hobby that will broaden your
outlook on life, if you can, but any kind
is better than none at all.
Search for a hobby that will be con
structive. Then every day will be a build
ing-up process. You will grow stronger
in mind, and body day by day and year
by year. So. if you are hobbyless try to
arouse interest and enthusiasm in some
form of pleasure or even work.
T1IE OPTIMIST
Old Uncle Finn was a good old chap.
But he never seemed for to care a rap—
If the sun forgot to rise some day.
Just like as not oid Finn would say;
‘'Oncommon dark, this here we're in,
But 'taint so bad as it might 'a* been.’’
But a big cyclone came ’long one day
An' the town was wrecked and blowed
away. When the storm had passed
We turned around, and thought at last
Ole Firm had found the state of things
He was buried in. about as bab
As it might ’a’ been.
So we dug im out o’ the twisted wreck
And lifted a rafter off his neck.
He was bruised an’ cut a sight to see:
He was ruined, but he says, says he.
With a weak look ’round and a smashed
up grin,
“ Taint half so bad as it might ’a’ been!”
P S. He is like the hoodo prospector.
