JaCk-O'. Lantern

Jack 20 lantern time bias come,
And Just as soon as school is out,
Then us bows have lots of fun,
And this is what it's all about.
Behind the big red barn we sit,
Cause there's pile Of pumpkins there,
Ard into them we cut and slit
Till we make those pumpkins grin and
stare.
And after supper. when it's dark,
We light them up with bits of candle,
And then we have jolly lark
Last night scared Matilda Randall.
But to-day she wouldn't look at me,
And gave piece of gum to JIM;
Course pretended not to see,
But thought she liked me better n him.

This advance OF the British into

Twenty-seven hundred years ago. In

Joining Armenia. the water turbine
was known, and built. and used In
milling. II was then called the shell

made TO secure the greatest value OF

This means war, with as many pos
