plugged along at school each day
and worked with might and main
to. learn which countries raise
most hay and what lies south of
Spain. Like other chaps, he
found small JOY in histories Of
Greece and, like the average
healthy boy, he loathed to speak
a piece. It was not intellect
alone that made that fellow great;
the quality In which he shone
was knowing how to wait. Now,
some chaps sow their fields one
day and look for crops the next;
at any semblAnce of delay they
get extremely vexed. They never
try their lances out nor feel tht
public pulse, but launch mad
schemes with merry shout and
then expect results. They put
eggs In Biddy's nest and from that
hour, proceed to nag her, though
she does her best about her lack
