THE GREAT EXCEPTION

greatest joy may not be won Tn the brightest day, And the greatest good may not be done For the biggest pay. The sweetest grapes may not have grown On the largest vine; The brightest jewel may not be thrown From the deepest mine. . They are not the swiftest streams that run Through the deepest pools. But the loudest boasting is always done By the biggest fools. —Chicago Times-Herald.
