Thero's tluxt mining stock that fell to naught; That latest friendship ao dearly bought; That hope of easo for tho yenrs to come, Lost In tho wreck of our protty homo; And those days of toil without compenso. And that cry for bread. What a mad prc-tenso prc-tenso To set a day of thankfulness When theso dark shadows our souls oppress. op-press. When I count tho defeat In llfo's fierce war, What have I to bo thankful for? What have I to bo thankful for? Or what to mo Is the lesson taught by this havoc wrought? Let's stop and sco, I guess I'm taught that a thing of chance Isn't very safe If I would advance; That the real valuo of a friend Is not summed up till llfo-s Inst end; That ease Isn't always as cheaply bought As a piece of ground with a cozy cot; That a day of toil. If an honest one, Brings sweetest rest when tho day is done; That hunger's cry makes our hearts more bravo To fight and struggle against tho wave. And thin call to slot) In the mad'nlng strife Gives chanco to think, and measure life By a higher rulo than most of us know In tho prosperous days that como and go, And things that perish by tho using hero And not worth the burn of a falling tear, And each defeat shows a weakest place To bo guarded close If wo win tho race. If I count this way In tho tug of war, I find I've much to bo thankful for. 91C South Ninth East. Music, high five and refreshments were the features of tho evening. Clifford Shafer served punch.
