ly be stated that such is not the case
and nothing in the nature of fair
is contemplated. No one need fear
that they will be parted from their
money by methods usually employed
at fairs of various kinds. The affair
will be carnival of merriment at
which comic and original amusements
will be introduced. 1t is to be fes
tival of mirth and a guaranteed sure
cure for the blues and kindred all

thing of similar nature ever before

| know a place love the best
When am in trouble or distressed,
For any sorrow or mishap
There is no place like mama's lap.
When fall down and bump my head.
When kitty scratched me till it bled.
When Johnny sometimes gives slap
| always run to mama's lap.
When. after running round all day,
Ny little feet are tired of play,
How nice to take a coZy nap,
All cuddled up i'll mama s lap.
l like to ride Oh papa's foot,
Perched like fairy on his boot.
| like to hear his watch case snap;
But then he hasn' got lap!
And when want to hide my eyes,
When in my throat that lump will
rise.
(She never says. "Don't muss my
cap!")
There s nothing quite like mama S lap.
And when I've naughty been, and
wild,
And am a sorry little child,
I feel her arm around me wrap;
Oh. then. how good is mama's lap!
Who steadfastly pursues his goal
Despite what winds prevail,
Nor loses courage from his soul
Can never wholly fail.

BY HENRY VAN D1hE
Oh, who will walk a mile witt, me
Along Life's merry way?
A comrade blithe and full Of glee,
Who dares to laugh out loud and free,
And let his noble fancy play,
Like happy child, through the flow
ers gay
That fill the field and fringe the way,
Where he walks mile with me.
And who will walk mile with me
Along Life's weary way?
A friend whose heart has eyes to see
The stars shine out Ger the darkcnlng
lea,
And the quiet rest at the end of the
day
A friend who knows and darcS to say.
The brave. sweet words that clear tn"
way
Where he walks mile with me.
With such ii comrade. such friend.
I fain would walk till journeys end.
Through summer sunshine. winter
And then? Farewell. we shall meet
again!
