THE FUN OF VICTORY.

(Detroit Free Press.)

There’s a heap of satisfaction In a trouble if you grin. If you keep your nerve in action And you wear a lifted chin. There’s a joy in doing something That you've never done before, So don’t be a deaf aud dumb thing. Chance is knocking at your door. Down and out. there’s fun in rising. Fun in facing heavy odds. Doing deeds that are surprising. And the happy fellow plods. Plods along and hums a ditty As he journeys down the street Of the busy- gold-mad city, Till he’s back upon his feet. It js overcoming trouble That a fellow gets his fun; It’s in shattering the bubble That is labeled “can’t be done.’’ It s striving night and day time When the problem hopeless seems, Man appreciates his playtime When he’s realized his dreams. There’s a heap of Satisfaction In a trougle if you grin, Difficulties have attraction If you keep a lifted chin. And the harder that your fight is Then the^‘‘greater is your fun, .\nd the finer your delight is As you view the things you’ve ■ done.
