School Time,

The summer days have glnted out;
IT'S now the time for school
The time for lessons, long and hard,
The time for rotc and rule.
Upon the village quictude,
There breaks solemn knell!
Our Willie hustlos - out of bed
1t is the second bell"
with sleepy eyes and tangled hair,
He climbs into his shirt
And gets the thing on wrOng-side-to-
Next he attacks the dirt.
A lick, promsc-and he rubs
A towel DER with CRIME
Meanwhile his mother cautions him
About the flight Of time.
He rushes madly 10 his food
And gulps it down like sin;
Once more he cannot find his hat
And calls his mother in.
"I'or goodness sake the mater cries,
"You have not combed your hair!
The stockings that you wear are not
And never We're, a pair,
"whcre is your collar and your tie?
Your shirt is wrong sido-out!
Oh, Willie, will you never learn
To not throw things about?
Where did you put your hat last niShtE
There. Right there on that nail!
No wonder II WAS lost to YOU
Now hurry! Here's your pail"'
Then Willie dasncs down the path
To reach the school on time.
Alas AlaCk, When near the goal,
He hears the last bcll'' chime!
Then backward with II laggard step.
He takes his sobbing way
And soon the teacher gets this note:
"Our boy is sick to-day"'

Polo Stick DANGERS.

English polo is far less dangerous
than it was. but nevertheless, there
have during the past season been far
too many accidents from blows by
polo sticks more or less serious. The
polo stick is very formidable

skill and re@t~7int in its use.--The
