Happy Lines
"THE ROAD TO OLD MAN'S TOWN.',' The fields of Youth are filled with Dowers, Tliu wiuo of Youth is strong. What need have wo to count the hours? i The summer days are long. ' | But soon we found to our dismay That we arc. drifting ,down The barren slopes that fall away Towards the foothills grim and grey That lead to Old Man's Town. And marching with us .on the track Full many friends wo find; We see them looking sadly back For those who-dropped behind. But God forbid a fate so dread Alone to travel down Tho dreary road we all, must tread With faltering step and whitening head Tlio road to Old Man's Town. ' Scntin by "Ginger B." Kilbirnic. "TAKINa PHOTOS." I triud to take a happy snap Of Janet, Mabs, and Joe, To send it to the paper To get a prize, you know. But now tho snap is printed out, The- only part that shows, Is Mabel's hand, and Janet's leg,, And little Joo-Boy's nose! - I Sent in by "MOTHER'S RIGIIT HAND." \ ' Lower Hutt.
