thought he did not belong to earth alone,
but to the star, too. because of his sis

stretched his tiny form on the bed and
died.
Again the child dreamed Of the
opened star and of the company of an

upon those peoples faces.
Said his sister angel to the leader:

And he said ''Not that one but
another"
AS the child beheld his brothers an.
gel in her arms. he cried:

And she turned and smiled upon him

No ONE HAppY.-There never vel

High bred or low bred, humanity has
tribulations. Worry is everywhere
