"Can't is the father of feeble endeavor,
The parent of terror and half-hearted
work;
It weakens the efforts of artisans clever
And makes of the toiler an indolent
shirk.
It poisons the soul of the man with a
vision,
It stifles in infancy many a plan;
i It greets honest toil with open derision,
And mocks at the hopes and dreams
of a man.
—Edgar A. Guest.

Has Exciting
Fishing Trip
What promised to be the great-
est fishing trip of the season
came Wednesday, when Messrs.
Smith, Reid, Rich and Barksdale,
chaperoned by Mr. S. K. Frank-
lin (the father of the Colonel)
and J. G. Jr., started for Pala-
cios Bayou in a small motor boat.
They were fully equipped for the
occasion with nets, poles, tackle,
floundering outfits and plenty of
eats. The wind was high and a
rough sea faced them all the
way, but the only accidcnt was
Mr. Smith being attacked by a
cabbage-head and getting some
of the fluid from its body into
his eye which resulted in intense
pain for several hours.
The Bayou, long noted for its
fishing, was absolutely null and
void on this occasion. The bait
was good, the place was good,
they simply would not bite. The
water was too rough for flounder-
ing so after a fine supper the
trip home was started. The
wind had increased and Mata-
gorda was exceedingly rough on
the little boat, which was tossed
about like a chip. In spite of the
wayes each fellow retained his
supper and J. G. slept through it
all.
Camp was reached about 10;30
p m., and the most propitious
fishing trip ended in failure in so
far as the catch was concerned—
but rich in experience.
