Here is the first edict Issued by Samson since he and the king crawled Into their winter holes: Knights of the Past: Man s life is full of crosses, troubles and temptations. He comes into the world without his consent, and goes out against bis will. His life s trip is rocky and full of contrarieties. he is little, the big g:rls kiss him. When he Is big. ths little girls kiss him. If he Is poor, he Is a bad manager. If he is rich, he Is dishonest. If he needs credit, he can't get It. If he is prosperous, his credit Is solicited If he is in politics, it is for graft. If he is out of politics, he la not pafiotlc. If he doesn't give to charity, he is a stingy cuss. If be gives to charity. It's for show. If he Is actively religious, he's a hypo crite. If he is not religious, lie's a sinner. If he is affectionate, he is a softy. If he cares for no one, he Is cold blooded If be dies young, there was a great fu ture before him. If he lives to an eld age, he has missed his calling. Sincj the road Is so rocky, let's cheer up and make the host of it. Do this by getting in touch with your fellow men and having a good time every Monday night during the summer.
