COMBINATION RHYMES

Pencils and paper are furnished each
guest Each one then writes a ques-
ton, folds over the paper and passes
it to his right-hand neighbor who
writes a noun, folds again and passes
to the next, who must write a rhyme
answering the question and using the
noun in Coing so.
For an illustration: One question was,
Where are you going, my pretty
maid?'' and the noun following was
"gumdrops." The .parodied rhyme was
as follows:
"A maiden CHANGED on a sunny day
To cross the field where 1 raked the hay
Eer cheeks were rosy, her hair was brown,
And she looked a queen in her russet gown.
Where are you going? asked the lass;
TO buy some gumdrops, please let me pass
So l stood aside and she went her way,
But often think of that sunny day.
And that queenly girl with hair of brown
Who charmed me so in her russet gown

More Light

Like draught of sweet nectar are
the words that lead US on to more
light. Our citizens who are agitating
the matter of street lamps, are certain
ly humantarians, philantropists, The
horrible condition of ourstreets during
the thaw are bad for beasts, but the
sidewalks in our city on dark night
are simply too bad for white folks to

our dangers by plodding in the dark
we urge to go on until the good work
is accomplished.

times the subscription price of the
paper. The historical events have
never been written before and the
probability is will never again be

have nearly all p .ssed off the stage
of action. The able effort of the

the history ahould be appreciated
