LEAP YEAR.

Wagner is full of good girls
All the boys will agree to tina t,
Now girls, show your pluck,
And try the leap year act.
| will now name some Of the boys
That | think are quite free,
And when | have finished
You will all agree with me.
DR.. Pailthorp has been quite patient
Looking forward to the year,
And as to Doctor being capable,
You girls, should have no fear.
DR.. Stuart lives right next door,
And he is getting a new auto,
Now all you girls know quite we'll,
That he would make a loving beau.
Arthur Owe ms 10 next, good natured,
And qui ok al a flash,
And when it comes to a good time
He always has the cash.
Now there is Harry Thompson
A little 1irty and witty too.
So if you can't get'"Brother Clark"
/ think Harry would do.
And then comes Frank Nider
Who is hard in the strife,
And Frank keeps q saying
Give me anything for a wife.
Joe. Mcclure is SO lonely,
Or if not, / miss my guess.
Now be careful girls
For he will surely answer Eyes"
But if you are up against it
And cant find anyone high or low,
Bert Flannery will take your offer
If you bring along the dog.
We all thought that Albert Hennies
Had long ago made a catch.
But you ha Int better ask him
Unless you wish to make a m atch.
Jim Ralcer is still waiting,
Let me give you girls a bunch,
Whoever gets this fellow,
Will certainly get a bunch.
Walt Fret has been with them,
Bnt lately not in the strife,
And Walt looks quite worried,
l think ne is tied down for Ii fe.
w. j. Wolfe tiled it once.
But now he is back again,
If one of you girls catch him,
You're worth a hundred men.
Will Giblin is kidnapped,
And Dan Morgan, by gee, ns~
But don't let that worry you,
For John Coughlin is still free.
