It is easier to tawk good grammei
than wat it is to write it, on account
of wen you tawk it you leeve out al
the punktuation marks. For instants
if you meet sumbody you know or

Wen you come to period at the
end of sentence, that's all the fer
cher you can go in that sentence
Even the longest sentences never have
more than one period.
A comma is period with a tail or
it and you can put all the commas in
a sentence you wunt to, according to
taist. It is dangerous to stop toe
long wen you come to comma or
account Of sumbody mite think you

there is no special mark to tell wat
the mark is. This proves that many

This Good World.
+**+ 80 - I

AAAS oCSa w SAAos
This world is good in which we
dwell; like the blamed thing mighty
well, and / have lived here long; as
down my life path l go l find eight
joys for every woe, nine rights for
every wrong. Oh, now and then there
comes a day when everything seems
grim and gray, an dbadly out of
plumb; but calm reflection brings
me bliss-for every rotten day like
this, six happy days will come. The
.optimist is one who knows the joys
outnumber human woes, when bal
ances are struck; and so, with sun
shine in his heart, he labors in the
busy mart, and nails the useful buck.
He does not worry Ger the grief that
comes to him as a relief when happi-
ness grows stale; no man could stand
unchanging bliss; slice of grief we
soon would miss, if there were none
for sale. The pessimist is one who'll
mark a record of each day that's
dark, its minutes and its hours; and
he'll forget the cheerful days, when
all the land is ablaze with sunshine
and with flowers. He thinks that
there are nineteen woes for every
joy mortal knows, in which he's
sadly wrong; l know the good out
weighs the i'll, and knowledge should
my counsel fill, for | have lived here
long.
