Dear Dad: Oh, no, the people
are not without hope. Listen here:
"There is included in the free list
(the tariff was under discussion) j,
mama, Joss sticks, ipecac, nox
vomica, dragons blood, asafetida
and balm OF gilead. These may be
said to be in the nature of counter
vailing duties on appetite. do not
object to any of them, but there is
one still farther on which I shall
move to strike out; that is leeches.
l think there will be great in
crease in that production under this
bill and that the supply will largely
exceed the demand. Spunk is also
on the free list. l am delighted at
that, for If some of my friends on

Once upon a time-yes, this is a
true story--there Was a little rag
ged Paris glovemaker with big, lus
trous eyes, who dreamed that one
day she would become a great lady
and have a million dollars.
Such a foolish little kid she was
believed in fairy stories and
Prince Charmings and all that-this
shabby little street gamin, who had
nothing-who, anybody could tell
never would have anything.
And the foreman would come
along with curse and blow that
would drive thoughts of palaces out
of her mind. But after awhile she
would dream again.
One day while she was working
she began to sing. half aloud The
visions were right before her big
