isn't worth tinker's doggone. This isn't
written in any part of the Bible. bur it's
written in the history of thousands and
thousands of misft homes If one of you
boys ever run across girl with her face
full Of roses; with eyes that would dim
the uster Of Colorado sky and with
voice that would make the song of an
angel seem discordant. and she says, as
she comes to the door: Il can't go for a
few minutes I've got to help mother with
the dishes" Don't give her up. Stick
to her like burr to mules tail. Just
sit down on the doorstep and wait If
she joins you in two or three minutes. SO
much the better; but if you have to stay
there on the doorstep for half hour. or
an hour. you just wait for her II you
don't somebody else will and in time
J you'll be sorry. Wait for her, boy
She's worth it.-Ex.
