clown. the village sleepy head, who
sleeps before the sun goes down
when other fellows in this town
are rustling for their bread. It's
grand to cuddle in The hay; why
should men rise at and toddle out
before the day when they'd much
rather snooze away and Sol him

/ sometimes think, if / might
choose. I'd like to be a bear: I'd
like TO wear old Bruins shoes and
settle to my winter snooze in some
secluded lair. For when my mind

jinx. there's nothing helps like
forty winks, except four hundred
more. When 1 was quite a little

The Seven Sleepers also were a

happy crew. And sleep is good at
any time, in summer. fall or
spring; but, 10, these mornings
