persuade themselves and the community that
they are anything but squirts- The focus Of
many admiring eyes Was beautiful sAow-
white dove, which Was making It's evening
toilet, sleeIirg Its plumage and arranging
stray feathers. The bird Was poised upon It's
iron perch, directly beneath the orifce of the
fountain, and seen through the misty prism,
seemed some yisitant from strange land, and

minute, to gladden the eye with beauty and
Tie heart With purity.
