Shells

DEDICATION
TO THE
PEOPLE OF WISCONSIN,
FROM WHOM I HAVE
Received so Many Words of Praise and Encouragement;
TO WHOM I AM
Indebted for so Many Marks of Appreciation, Rendering my Pleasant Work
Pleasanter,
My Glad Life Gladder,
Is this volume gratefully dedicated
by
THE AUTHOR.

By the waves of thought, these "Shells" were washed out upon the shores of imagination, and I gathered them in idle moments. If they shall give you a few hours enjoyment, it will add to the pleasure I experienced in making the collection.
