As the a-nhulnnpn winds through thn streets

Perhaps you have had nn Invalid ko out
from your house on a health exiur'lon. You
know how the neighbors stood around and
said, "Ah, he will never pome back nifaln
alive.'' Oil, It was a solemu moment, I tell
you, whon the Invalid had departnl. and
you went Into thn room to make the bed,
and to remove thn medicine vinls from thn
