The Grand Tumble.

AS we journey along life's rugged way,
Whatever our station or calling may be-
One thing is as certain night follows day
We never can hope 10 possess all we
Now, the story is told of very young
Whose kind, trusting heart such a notion possessed,
He took all he and when caught always
And now, sad to say he is taking rest
How it all came about you'd perhaps like TO know,
Though the telling will cause many sad bitter tears
For this same gentle youth jolly young bo-
Whose knowledge of life far exceeded bis years.
He had travelled from Leesvie to Kalamazoo,
And had twice crossed the ocean without falling in
While some even say he'd been in Kankakee too
And never stopped till he landed in Saltwater Mimi
You see it all happened in mighty queer way.
This youth had lead of Webbs grand trip to Mars
So he took arship nice Summers day
And prepared to invade the land Of the stars
He'd heard of tile Grand Oooo with veal til command
Which to his ambition had great courage lent
For he thought if he only could win her fair hand
He'd make john d. look like penny half spent
But his airship got dizzy as lie journeyed afar
Aud in vain did he try to keep the main line,
Then the blamed thing gave out, he came down with
jar
And now he's working in shop V-making twiue.
This story he told as | tell it to you
When in search of diploomer he stood meath his fear
Aud endeavored to prove that his downfall due
To not knowing just how aircraft to steer.
But alas! To his sorrow he found when too lato
That a better EXCUSE he'd sure have to make,
Ii he hoped to get by the at the gate
And again share the joys of the Professors air fake
You've STEADY.

Twas on moonlight Summers evening
first met sweetheart Lou,
She was dressed in the height of fashion,
In my favorte color blue.
We slroled into garden,
On this moonlight Summers night,
Twas while seated on rustic beuch
That first saw loves light.
AsI gazed into her soft, blue eyes,
Il love you, mine eyes said,
Then fame sprang up within my heart,
l long had thought was dead
l held her lily white hand in mine;
AS gazed into those eyes
They far outshone the brightest stars
That illuminate the skies
I gently pressed loving kiss
Upon her marble brow,
I Ionged to tell her of my love,
But [ did not know how.
Storms came without warning
AS thief comes in the night;
| was not prepared for this,
1t vas love ut first sight
The sea Of life's not always calm,
The sun not always bright
The clouds have gathered Tricky,
Since that moonlight Summer night
| see her now, but in my dreams;
The prison walls keep us apart
TO know>sbe's true and waits for me,
Keeps loves fame bright i'll my heart.
