Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON. I y oaaHniaaaBiiiuwBmmnjV HARD TO P-EASE If a man Is not contented with this good old world in Jun if his acMug grief Is vented in u pessimistic tune, he is hopeless, he is chronic, he Is full of prunes add bile, and there Is no earthly tonic that will brace him up to smile. For in June the world is gaudy, everything's a sight to see, and the mansion and the soddy should al!K-full al!K-full of glee; and the schoolboy should be beaming as along the road he swings, and the grandslre should be dreaming of a lot of pleasant things: . nd the farmer with his horses should explain how god he fpels; the moid eian with his corses should be kicking up his heels. There is somethlnr oul of kilter with the sad desponding kon who will let his sorrow filter through his countenance in June If a man is grim and sober, shy ot happiness r.nd vim, on a bleak day In October I can sympathize with him. If a man is far from merry, if he mutter-, a Gee Whiz." in the b'ast of January, I can mix my tears with his. If the ian-ruage ian-ruage he'd dismmber, seeking word1; that sear like sin, in the middle of December. I can hall him as a twill. But thin rosy month is waning and I'd give no picayune for the man who is complaining in the happy days of June Copyright by George Matthew Adam? 00
