And there's lots depends on the heights we vault, if we land on thorns, it's all our fault, or, mebbc wo land in a bed of rose, it all depends on. the seed folks sows. Tho Doc's called In, when the fever's high, but when we cool off, ho sails on by, but tomorrow is due, with the freight it brings, whethor better or wuss, it's our'n by jlngs' An when I reflect on tho human mess, I'm bound to conclude, it's a game of guess. than 40 per cent bettor than common s,tock.
