Not onl he admit firing the €hot, claiming he did not intend to shoot the messenger. but he went into ! detail as to why he had b e An- volved in the affair. His in attacking the government service, he | is said to have stated because of | his treatment by the government after his return from military duty over- seas, He admitied he had resented being | given the small bonus of $60 for his service abroad, a id it was due to the government's atment of the overseas meu that many of them have W {cefe =aid he made up tr.

T I've made all kinds of dizzy breaks, my past was badly checkered ; but I don't brood o'er ! old mistakes, or fret about my {record. Not by remorse a fel- low mounts to heights serene, enchanted ; what he is now is all | that counts—the past is dead and planted. 1 do not haunt the mourner’s bench, regretting and | deploring, but take a saw or { monkey wrench and do some useful choring. All virtuous I go my way, a moralist, a win- ner: and sometimes evil gossips say. “Of old he was a sinner; he sail in the dens where Barleycorn was reigning ; he carried off a widow’s hens, and laughed at her complain- ing” And I am asked about such tales, “\Were, once, your acts so rotten?” And 1 say, Yes : but what avails the ghost of days forgotten? You see me walk the narrow way, and not n byways mazy; and when at night I hit the hay my con- science is a daisy. I do my work, I pay my debts, I have a hundred uses; I am among the safest bets this age of ours pro- duces. Today’s the only day on carth: its sun will soon be set- ting : today 1 show my sterling worth, all other days forget- ting.” bygone years, with soul anguish smitten; as Omar says, not all your tears can wash out what is written.
