The self-made man stalked into the office of a great financier with whom he had an appointment. “I don’t suppose you remember me,” he began, “but twenty years ago, when I was a poor messenger-boy, you gave me a message to carry—” “Yes, yes!” cried the financier, “where’s the answer?”—Punch * * * An optimist is a girl who doesn’t care what happens, so long as it doesn’t happen to her. * * * Old Napoleon said there is no such word as can’t.

Of glorious accomplishment—not glorious enough. Of pleasures, too hilarious,- at which the righteous smirk; But, I say, we’re the Engineers, that’s in our line of work. I sing a song of hardship beyond “white collared” ken Of battling with the wildernes, pit ting the strength of men Against grim Nature’s armaments And yet, we cannot shirk, For, I say, we’re the Engineers, that s in our line of work. I say that we accomplish, but never quite enough. We gash great scars o’er mountain sides, we crash on thru the bluff. We penetrate your ghastly swamps where deadly fevers lurk, For we’re the Engineers, you know, that’s in our line of work. I’ve sung a song of hardships of work and joy and strife. I’ll tell you, now, the thing to which we dedicate our life. Not for ourselves we do the job and bear the loads that irk; Not for ourselves do we Engineers strive in our line of work. Service is the sacred trust for which we give our lives. For generations yet unborn we sweat, and curse, and strive. We build for all posterity. . Our tru-t we will not shirk. For we’re the Engineers—Service our line of work. W. S. The fellow who puts everything off ’til the last moment will have an awful time on his death bed.
