A laggard in love from the very start
Was he for he started out
To win a maid’s six-cylinder heart
In a one-lung runabout.

Flowers by the Roadside
This is a land in which we do
not stop long enough by the road
side, or wander down the quiet
by-paths, anyhow. It is not meet
that men and women should drive
and push and travel at top speed
all the time no matter how wor
thy the goal, nor how impelling
the urge. Attainments are so of
ten barren when one reaches
them, and so often comes the bit
ter reflection that there were so
many flowers, so many resting
places, so many meadows to play
along the way, but all ignored;
how much was lost that can nev
er come again! So it is with these
flower gardens we propose to
plant along the ways of the city.
If some may be tempted to linger
by them fora moment, if even
they only rest the eye of the has
tening wayfarer as he brushes
past them with but a glance in
his hurry, they will not have been
in vain.-The Macon Telegraph.
