two days raised $4,000 more for a
Y. W. G. A. building. That is more
per capita than any subscription We
have ever heard of for a similar pur

record in the p,atter OF giving to-

citizens of Birmin CHAM subscribed over

we are proud that we can boast of

You'll never know
What YOU have missed.
s. You lead life
OF gilded ease,
Quite free from cares,
Including feas,
And sleep reclined
On bed of down,
AS fine as IL
You wore a crown.
But you've ne'er felt
The wild delight
or coursing round,y
Both day and night,
And running wild
With comrades true,
Who're strong and bold
And fond of you;
OF chasing cats
With joyous bark.

A marrow-bone,
Which by hard work
You've made your own.

No doubt, are few,
