KEEPING COOL.

Some fellows in a losing: game Are worried, gruff and glum; But Roland Hill la Just the No matter what may come. He faces toward the pitcher's box And smiles a friendly smile, And then, the chances are, he knocks The ball about a mile. He says, “We’ll lick’’em if we try. Play up! You're doing AneT* And maybe that's the reason why . He’s captain of the nine. Some fellows when they miss a shot In tennis grunt and frown. Or twist their faces In a knot And smash their rackets down. And some are sure the court Is bad Or rough; and some will say, “What rotten luck!” while some will add. Tm off my game today.” But Roland simply plays ahead: He doesn’t sulk, but grins; And that Is why. I’ve heard it said. He almost always wins. —Youth's Companion.
