The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1902-11-30

Once upon a time as everybody knows,
here were giants In the earth, great, tall,
strong men and women, who could have
taken you or me up In one hand and have
broken our backs as easily as a dog snaps
1 rats back. That is, they could have done
this had they been so Inclined but fortu-
nately. they were kind, gentle creatures,
glo had no desire to hurt anybody or any
hing. OF course, occasionally, in fit of
ibsent -mindedness out In the fields they
would sit down on COW or a horse and

The Month For School

November is the month for school,
As all the children know;
There's nothing nice outdoors to do
No gardens and no snow.
No frogs to snare. no fish to catch,
No leaves to pile and burn,
No seeds to SOW, no flowers to pick
Nothing to do but learn.
And so, of course, we like our school
When days are dull and drear;
But / should think 1t might be closed
