Waits Who Became Famous.

The list of waits who have become
famous is a long one. 1t includes Sir
Henry Stanley. Queen Catherine the
Good. Alexander Hamilton, Rosa Bon
heur, Edgar Allen Poe. Rachel. Leo
nardo da I'inci and dates back us far
as Moses. All these were homeless
children-children who If left to their
fate would undoubtedly have drifted
into evil ways. Instead they have
lived to add glory to their names and
have contributed to the knowledge OF
the world at large through the fruits
of their genius.
