Over thirty years ago, John J :
Ingalls of Kansas hauled off and '
perpetrated an exquisite elegy
on this subject. Mr- Ingalls had
been a United States Senator
and I presume failure of re-elec-
tion was the irritant which led
him into error. I quote his verse
from memory:
“Master of human destinies am I;
Fame, Love and Fortune on my
footsteps wait;
'Cities and fields I walk I penetrate
Deserts and Seas remote, and pass
ing by
Hove! and mart and palace, soon or ;
late,
I Jsnock unbidden once at ever} '
gat®;
If sleeping wake, if feasting rise
Before I turn away, it is the ^our o :
fate
And they w ho follow me reach every
state
Mortals desire, and conquei every
foe
Save death, but they who doubt or
hesitate.
Condemned to failure, penury and
woe
Seek me in vain and uselessly im- j
plore;
answer not, and I return no
more.’’
Thus an old adage is very I
beautifully and convincingly ex-
pressed, and deserves to live]

OPPORTUNITY
(Written in a country barnyard)
I knock a hundred times aday
At every door on earth ;
The job commences right away
When e'er L find a birth.
Some never answer during life
And Rome pay careless heed.
Or greet me when the irksome strife
Creates a crying need.
But still I knock with ceaseless dii
And unremitting vigor;
Oh! Will you rise and let me in?
Just aim. and pull the trigger.
