' I often sit and tink how nice it ! would bo, Gee Whiz, If a feller was the feller dat his mudder tinkshc is." '! So my friends, be yours a life of I toil or undiluted joy, You still can learn a lesson from ! the small unlettered boy. ' ! Don't try to be an earthly saint ! with eyes fixed on a star; ! Just try to. be the fellow that your mother thinks you are. , -ExJj |
