I see a light
Aglenm from, a fur-off shore;
I Amid the gloom
Fair flowers bloom
That shall wither, nevermore.

There is hope of a better day;
Out of defeat

the circus' employees came up and
asked if. one of us would give him a
lie i- dollar' bill for. some change., lie
said that they didn't have any bills
at all; and offered to" give five dollars
and a' quarter for a tivv-ilollar bill,
rile Soph was the only one who Avas
blessed with that much, hut lie hauled
out his hill, the man counted the
money- into " the Freshman's hand,
then t«ok it hack and cqunteil it into
tin- Soph's. .Obviously,’ it was cor
rectly counted, so tin Soph thrust it I
into Id’s pocket. A\ c went on ..inside
