Return Ticket

William NJ. Fogarty has a story
about a good old Irish woman whose
son was about to start for a trip
around the world.
She had watched him prosper with
pride. To her he was a great man. In
her fond vision she could see all sorts
OF terrible tidings coming to him, but
she had her peace until he had started
for the journey. Then she began to
cry. A neighbor tried to console her
but to no avail.
I'm afraid he hasn't the money to
get back" said the mother, weeping
Hes got the money to go round the
world all right, but how will he ever
get back ?"-Indianapo Star

But since it comes not, then. It seems

You need me most, beloved, where
