I'd Like To Go

It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, or whistles
blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs
don't sound,
And I'd have stiffness all around
Not real stiffness, but just the trees
Low whispering, or the hum of bees,
Or brooks, faint babbling over stones
In strangely, softly tangled tones.
or maybe the cricket or katydid,
Or the songs of birds in the hedges
hid,
Or Just some such sweet sounds as
these
To fill tired heart with ease.
II 'twerep't for sight and sound and
smell,
I'd like the city pretty well;
But when it comes to getting rest,
like the country lots the best.
Sometimes it seems to me must
Just quit the city's din and dust
And get out where the sky is blue
And say, now, how does it seem to you ?

Hoxey. They became uneasy SO they
sent a wireless telegram to where
they thought he was, and they located
him on Mt. Wilson, where he stopped
about forty-five minutes. He sent a
wireless telegram to the other ayia-
tors telling them where he was. Y
He returned to the ground about 2
o'clock. He came gliding down like
a bird, SO as to show the works Of
the machine to the people. He then
made another flight the same day.
This was his most successful day.
The next day he started one of his
daring flights which proved unsuc-
cessful, for his machine failed to
wrok after he got in the air. causing
the machine to fall direct to the
ground, killing him instantly. This is
