buggies started out the sun tipped the mountain
tops, and pulled the Long Tom summit In the
early morning air, and it glorious. As one
stands on the summit he forever and the air
Is always cool, and swift breeze blowing up there
makes the old feel young. As the teams pulled
slowly up the summit some OF the boys began
munchiDg apples. This brought forth the call,
Pass them on down here and soon the golden
balls flying through the crisp air from wagon to
wagon, the "old boys" playing ball with 'gusto
and growing young again. As the apples kept COM
ing the boys got excited, aud standing up in the
wagons and ON horseback, they tried to show-and
rang with laughter and fun. And so the
day was spent, and the procession slowly wended
its way home in the dusky evening every one said
