AH Itight With Him
A school teacher was very much an
noyed by the continued mischievous
ness of one of her boys. At last she
exclaimed in exasperation, “1 wish I
could be your mother for just about a
week.”
“Very well, 1 will speak to father

eooly.
Fool afloat,
Rocked boat,
Wooden coat!
Speed increases,
Breath ceases,
Rest in pieces!
Gas escaping,
Matches scraping,
Mourners gaping!
M'KINLEY PARK LUNCH STORE
It’s a long way to Mt. McKinley,
where good eats are very rare; so
fill up your lunch bags wdth fresh
fruits, boiled ham, and dry sausage
that’s made from a polar bear; and
when you return from the Yukon and
the big ship’s waiting for you, just
go to your berth with a lunch bag, it
will be a life-saver to you. And when
your long voyage is ended and the
Harding Gateway you’ve gone thru,
with all the good eats and fine scen
ery, you'll be a bear.
