A Lazy Guy, Admittedly the laziest man he ever saw was encountered recently In Hlllsboro by Joe Bckhnrd. A customer dropped Into a shoe store and asked the boss for some shoe strings. The bows was seated In one of those easy reclining chairs reading a paper, and he hated to arise.

THINK of the white salla swelling, creak of the ropes and spars, Of the foam beneath her forefoot and over her peak the The stars of a tropic heaven, leading forever south, And the spray of a phosphorescent wave, salty- upon my mouth, Till I come In sight of the harbor, the mystic port which gleams On the golden shores of Illusion, hard by the Cape of Dreams. ET somehow my dream Is lonely; share It, my dearest dear, Ball with me on my magic ship over the world from here. We shall walk on the decks together and watch blue Islands rise Out of the misty distance, part of the seas and skies, And this shall be our adventure, lovely and fair It seems, To thn golden shores of Illusion, hard by the Cape of Dreams.
