What the people ought to have is something spirited--something like "Johnny Comes Marching Home." However, keep on practising, and you may succeed yet.

"ST.

CLAIR HIGGINS." Los Angeles.--"My life is a failure; I have adored, wildly, madly, and she whom I love has turned coldly from me and shed her affections upon another.

Also, do everything you can to make your former flame unhappy.
