Haug on! Cling on! No matter what they I’ush on! Sing on! Things will come your way. Sitting down and whining never helps a bit: Best wav to get there is by keeping up your grit. Don’t gi\e up hoping when the ship goes dow’ii: Grab a spar or something-just refuse to drown. Don’t think you're dying, just because Smile in face of danger and hnng to your grit. Folks die too easy they sort of fade away; Make a little error, and give up in dismay. Kind of man that’s needed Is the man of ready wit » To laugh at pain and trouble and keep his grit. —Louis E. Thayer.*
