Och! Herr Limberger, you iss Won poet.

So many dimes ven keed she would take

Dot way for long dime We would van

She would dell us stories of der Fairy

Dot would make our heart schump, und

She dold us of ding swingled gartens

Der rainbow, she salt, der ruined in der

Leettle folks, flowers, und birds yer effery

Und We saw und would romp NIT dem

Many dimes too dired We schust kouldn't

We would leaf dot for modder to do,
Und she done it, und den gave US lof-

Und effen eff modder vas dried und

Her voice she would kondro like der dam

Und sing und say dot We ISIS her dearie.
Und now We are men, und shut out from

SMILE

While living in this little world of ours,
Why not make things worth while?
God gave us the Sun, Moon and Flowers;
So let's cheer heart or two, and Smile.
Times there are when you and l. or some
one DEAR
And others too, in life's long mile
Feeling grouchy, disheartened and blue,
for lack of cheer,
Have seen the clouds roll by, through
someone's smile.
Smiles are healthy, Smiles are free;
Think of hearts made the brighter,
Because of someone's Smiles they did see,
Bringing them laughter and steps ever
lighter.
Friends Do it today, don't wait until to-
morrow,
Make an effort to Smile and strengthen
your day.
Some one may be lonesome, friendless or
in sorrow;-
Just give them Smile, you'll see twill
pay.

The older a man gets the less he knows

One way to get along with folks is to

If you can't remember when you were a

In the average life of 70 years not

Each one of US has an individual re-

A light heart, clear conscience and
good health will carry you long way on

The first step on the ladder of success
is to find out what your faults are; the
second, to get rid Of them.
How you came to fall or the fact that
you fell doesn't matter. The thing that
should concern you is how to get up after
the fall.
A little real thinking before you start
