Wise Billy had been hit the head when he
was nothing than fodder and 1t was the
blow that set his mind cropping for things that IL

great forests yet untouched by the ak of natures

forests. Like Little Hiawatha he learned of the
birds and the squirrels their secrets. They were
playmates that never made sport OF his mental

roadside to watch results. They saw boy start

that impression could be made upon his disor

than he did about the words, but in the course
of year or two he wrote sentences disJOintedly.
It was poetry that Wise Billy loved, especially
the poetry in which the words sang of birds and
trees and flowers. 1t an inspiration to hear
