oh l say .Armourdillo, don't let
the COW eat him; he's very green and
tender" and then she ran laughing out
of sight.

Never" said the Armourdillo, get
ting very red in the face. Don't you
bother about that. Cigarettes a friv-
olous little thing, and she says great
many things that have absolutely no
meaning at all. Sometimes she's sensi-
BILE, though, and that song She sang to
you about Hoyo is a fine thing. IL
teaches us not to be hasty in our Judg-
ments and not to decide against thing
or for it until We nave investigated 1t

the grass, but, as a matter or 1act, she
the kindest old thing in the world
She's the most motherly old creature IN

IF she had her way there'd be 81

in this beautiful world every Sunday,
with chops and hams and chickens ga
