LEAVE IT TO THEM.
Wheri you're a has-been and out of the {|ame; Wieti eyesight is failing and you're getting lame; Wheii Life's little winter comes on with its cold, Somjeone will warn you that you're get'■'ng old. i
Agq won't surprise yon— of that have Ino fear— Tiifte need not whisper the new,s in your I ear; Bujt somebody, somewhere, -will warn you ' each day— Scineone will notice that you're o-ettincr I grey.
The friend who has never in all of his : : life Thought once to cheer as you fought in I the strife, Will gladly come forward with solace J untold, Just to remind you that you're getting old. Men are forgetful when one meets sue- ! cess; They are unmindful of one in distress. But you can depend on them always to say: "Good gracious, old chap, but your hair's getting grey!" Bejce; ia "Puck. , ?
