And never try to get good luck in this fierce auto age,

By picking up a horse's shoe in street or country road

No more than I would stoop to seize a common green back toad.

A Boy Who Was Hero And villian

(Written for Uncle Ernest, Sackville.)

One day in a big meeting held by a MERCY-BAND,

The leader asked each little boy to hold up his right hand

If he could tell of any deed of kindness he had done

In saving some poor animal or helping any one.
