th, and all his life long he was
happy and content.

Sometimes as a clown, in a circus, he would make fun
for old and young; again, as a wandering minstrel,
he twanged the strings of his banjo and sung a merry
song, and so on through all his travels, he would
lighten the cares of others, and make them forget
their sorrows, and fill every heart with joy.

[Illustration
(Humpty greets little girl with doll)]

But wherever he went, in sunshine or in rain, he never
forgot to sing the praises of the wise Black Hen nor
the good, kind Farmer's Wife, who had started him in
life, _hardened_ against sorrow, with a big heart in
the right place, for the cheer and comfort of OTHERS.

Denslow's Picture Books for Children

For these books W. W. Denslow has revised and
adapted several of the best classical fairy tales.
He has improved these stories by elimination of
all coarseness, cruelty, and everything that might
frighten children. They are new; more beautiful and
striking in both text and picture than any children's
books heretofore published. Each book is filled with
pictures of action and fun in brilliant colors. The
twelve books are uniform in size.
