two sisters who are also sisters in the
Visitation academy.
We attend ST. Patrick's church

POOR LITTLE JOE.

Joe was a poor little boy and there
was going to be a party next door.
He wanted to go. but his mamma
told him he would have to be invited.
So just the day before he got an invi-
tation. Although Mary was very
wealthy, she was very kind and never
forgot little Joe. So Joe's mother got
him some new clothes to wear so ne
could go and he went. He had a nice
supper and had good time, and he
got twelve pretty valentines, and he
was very proud, as 1T was his first val
entine party.
His mother was very glad also for
him. He always loved Mary after
wards because she thought of him.

APRIL FOOL LAND.

There's jolly land, understand,
For the folks who know the way;
It's hard to learn the place to turn,
And it can't be reached in day.
Oh, a trick road =
And a mixey road,
That leads to the joyful Town,
Where every rule is April Fool
And streets run upside down.
Policemen bold are clowns, I'm told,
And all the money is jokes.
And as for the King, in the land
sing,
He's the fellow that's best at hoax.
oh, the royal crown
In the. Joyful Town
Is the jingling TESTERS cap,
For every rule is April Fool
And every door a trap!
With willy, care you must beware
or the sign-posts in that town;
They always sound the other way
i. round;
And they're mostly upside down.
The pie crusts hide
White mice, inside,
And the frightened guests all
scream
For every rule is April Fool
And schools an idle dream.
Small children play their tricks all day
And never are spanked at all;
And harlequins with pointed chins
Are gleefully playing ball.
The rain and sun
Join in the fun
To trick the Weather Man
For every rule is April Fool
And cooks play Patty-Pan,
Now. once year the folk come here
And a joyful time have they!
They turn the town quite upside down
On April Fool-his day.
IF / could find
The roads that wind
Across the joyful Town,
I'd backward run and have some fun
With Harlequin and Clown,
Where every rule is April Fool
And streets lead upside down

said that they were not much but he
would give her q bushel for a pie. She

The dog jumped after it and brought
