I don't believe that a man can smile
And do it honestly, all the while;
it’s good for the soul at times to fret
And worry over the luck you get;
And when fate hands you the icy mitt
And the gsme seems gone to pot.
You've got to worry a little bit—
Though you needn’t worry a lot.

(
I haven’t much use for the kind of chap
With a smile forever upon his map,
Who’s always chirping this cheer-up stuff
Like “Keep your spirit, though life is rough!”
Who says “Don't worry!” and “Show your grit!"
And a lot of that sort of rot;
For you’ve got to worry a little bit—
Though you needn't worry a lot.
Your sense of humor should pull you through.
Whatever the woes that come;
But now and then it is healthy to
Be humanly sore and glum.
And there are times when a smile won’t fit
The kind of a break you've got,
So you’ve got to worry a little bit—
Though you needn't worry a lot.

of a large house. It was quite dark,
but down below our feet we saw a
faint light through the chink of a
door.
We waited a little to make sure
that nobody saw us, and then went
down the stairs. We entered quick-
ly, and found ourselves in a cellar.
By the light of a lamp I saw Red sol-
diers and civilians sitting at small
tables with large dishes of steaming
potatoes. The young soldier knew the
landlord of the place, and ordered a
dish of potatoes and salt herring.
We afterward had some tea and rye
bread. When we pald, my friend rec-

Will Be Mammoth Bridge.
The new Delaware river bridge,
which is to be built by the states of
Pennsylvania and New Jersey and the
city of Philadelphia. is estimated to
cost a boat $28,871,000. Thia bridge
will cross the Delaware river from
Franklin square, Philadelphia, to
Pearl and Second streeta, Camden.
N. J. It will be the longest suspen-
alon bridge in the world. The main
structure la to be of the two-cable
suspension type, crossing the river
with a single span 1,750 feet long,
from center to center of the main
piers. The clearance above mean
high water will be 185 feet over a
width of 800 feet in the center at
the span. The bridge and approaches
are to be built to provide a single
deck carrying an unobstructed road-
way for six lines of vehicles, lines
for surface cars and two lines for
rapid transit, besides which there will
be two ten-foot sidewalks above the
roadway. The width of the main
roadway, from carb to curb, will be
5T feet. The total width of tho
bridge will be 125% feet It is ex-
pected to have the bridge completed
by July 4. 1926, in time for the one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence,
when a great international exposition
will be held in Philadelphia.

Ben Nesbitt, Harrison county farmer, philo-
sopher, fox hunter and fisherman, went to hear
Jim Ferguson when he spoke here two weeks ago.
Mr. Nesbitt in telling of the speech, was quite
complimentary of what the Ex-Governor had to
Isay until the irrepressible Jim got down to his
light wine and beer plank. Then Ben quit him
and tells this story to illustrate how he stands
towards Ferguson:
“A negro was tried for his life and after a long
trial, many speeches by the lawyers and a lengthy
!charge from the judge, the jury retired and in a
short time returned a verdict of guilty with the
death penalty. When the judge went to sentence
him he was asked if he had anything to say. The
negro arose and said:
“Yas, sur, I wants to say sumthin’. I wants
to say dat de sheruff en his deputies hez treated

lawyers hev bin not too hard on me, en Jedge, you
