ChiId's Verses on "Mother"

daughter Of Charles w. Shannon the
tree and plant Nursery salesman
on north Main street, composed the
following poem which she dedicated
to Mother in commemoration of Moth
er's Day:
Though we travel the whole world through,
We will discover that never another
Will try their best to do
As much for US as mother.
No one sise will kiss you when you fall,
Or brush your tears away,
Or change your sadness to gladness
On a gloomy day.
So let as strive to help her
And in her presence be bright,
For we will find at the end of time
What a mother says is always right.

made himself responsible for the

was in honor bound to exact the
adequate penalty from those who had
injured the foreigner.
