Year after year. through thousands

Now
Do you fancy the charm Of those IN

less delicate. the stems less graceful
than the violets Of the valley?
Certainly not.
And why? OF what use are the pref

them: no human eye can feast on them
Why the violets?
Why did God make them? If they

The gang paused. Over on one Of
the low stone piers upon which the

the skeleton steel plates to the pier
and did not have sense enough to

Halfway out the worst boy stopped,

there is a way, though it may be up n

The worst boy had the biggest heart

DO you wonder Garfield said he al

boy of the streets because of the posi-,

Garfield also said that
