Jeremiah, a bartender at Blue Frog Bar & Grill on 22 E. Hubbard tells the story of how he witnessed a purse snatching and sprung into action.
Jeramiah on Chasing Down Purse Snatcher
- If by Rudyard Kipling
- If you can keep your head when all about you
- Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
- If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
- But make allowance for their doubting too;
- If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
- Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
- Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
- If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
- If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
- If you can meet with triumph and disaster
- And treat those two imposters just the same;
- If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
- Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
- Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
- And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;
- If you can make one heap of all your winnings
- And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
- And lose, and start again at your beginnings
- And never breath a word about your loss;
- If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
- To serve your turn long after they are gone,
- And so hold on when there is nothing in you
- Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";
- If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
- Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
- If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
- If all men count with you, but none too much;
- If you can fill the unforgiving minute
- With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
- Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
- And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
