earth is turned up it seems glad to be greeted
by the warm sunshine after so long hiber

causes him TO gaze down in realistic prospec

succulent lettuce, palatable green peas, cool
cucumbers and tender asparagus such as was
never grown before. We tried the 'honest

if we once got started we could spade up the
whole garden A Monaghan was worrying
the ground in his own pIodding way when We
determined to relieve him of his responsible

but satisfac Dry. There was no special trouble

poorly clad wanderer from Alsace, singing his
song in a strange land. He didn't propose to
hang his harp upon tree, like the dis

waters of Babylon. He was made of different
stuff, for he pitched in and sang like a thou

wonderful tenor voice, doubtless made power

And yet, strange to relate, the key is still
