oneers dear, .to American hearts lived
rhlelly on thU wholesome food. They
planted It with their rllles at band nnd
never went far from homo without a
Btnerous supply of corn with them.
It Is strance. however, that although
corn has continued to be the American
bumper crop und every year we raise
morn und more of It, most of It Koei to
the feeding of boss, and wo havo seen
less and less ot it on our tnuies. .

As-he wandered to Twilight Town;
And his face lit up with a heavenly

Through the shadows that drifted

But he woke next morning with tear
stained eye
In the light of the gray dawn's gleam :
And out from the stillness we heard
him cry:
I've lost my dream my dream I'"
