Of course you have heard of Redwood's ore

But many, other wonderful things can be
found.
You can 60 on our streets any bright Sum-
And meet nlee w Winter decked in her gorgeous
Or should you be caught in a lively March
'Twould be safe, young man, to be insured
against Hale.
Or should you chance to be abroad at noon
You're sure to come into contact with a
