There was but one chance. He was standing upon a manhole cover.
Quickly seizing it, he lifted the lid and jumped into the hole just in
time to be run over by an underground train.
PENMANSHIP
Mr. Brown had just registered and was about to turn away when the
clerk asked:
"Beg pardon, but what is your name?"
"Name!" echoed the indignant guest. "Don't you see my signature there
on the register?"
"I do," returned the clerk calmly. "That is what aroused my
curiosity."
PEP
Vigor, vitality, vim and punch--
That's Pep!
The courage to act on a sudden hunch--
That's Pep!
The nerve to tackle the hardest thing
With feet that climb and hands that cling,
And a heart that never forgets to sing--
That's Pep.
Sand and grit in a concrete base--
That's Pep!
Friendly smile on an honest face--
That's Pep!
The spirit that helps when another's down,
That knows how to scatter the blackest frown,
That loves its neighbor, and loves its town--
That's Pep.
To say "I will," for you know you can--
That's Pep!
To look for the best in every man--
That's Pep!
To meet each thundering knock-out blow,
And come back strong, because you know
You'll get the best of the whole damned show--
That's Pep.
