Fortune may favor, though she may frown ; Bright morning comes after the night, And no matter how long a good man may be down, He’ll rise if he sticks to the right.



In the game of onr lives, though the “ deuce ” is to play, We all have our chances of “ trumps,” “ Pair dealing ” if you would “ count honors,” we say, And never be down in the dumps. The oldest of men tell us life is a span, Though the “lane without turning” seems long ; When sadness creeps into the heart of a man He should hurry it out with a song. Though the road be so rough that the progress is slow, Though our knees may be aching with bumps, ’Twill be changed if a little further we go, So never be down in the dumps. Should folk disappoint—say, your tailor, to wit, With separate garment or suit, Visit G. J. P. Lublow for perfection in fit,' And saving your money to boot. He’ll suit you with all that is novel and rare, And prove himself a regular “ trump,” Por giving both cheapness and thorough good wear, So never be down in the dumps. To give Stylish and Reliable Materials, Perfect Fit, and unmistakable Cheapness, is the state of perfection attained in the Clothing supplied by G. J. F. Lublow. The variety of Coatings and Tweeds to bo seen at his establishment is, moreover, the most complete and extensive in Canterbury.
