Some are to strike; they are those fond of polemics and battle.

Some are to run; they are the candidates.

There are four hunks--youth, manhood, old age and death.

Some one takes the bat, lifts it and strikes for the prize and misses it, while the man who was behind catches it and goes in.

This man takes his turn at the bat, sees the flying ball of success, takes good aim and strikes it high, amid the clapping of all the spectators.
