\ YOUNG MANS FANCY.
In the spring young mans
fancy to the thought Of love re,
turns,
And his ardent hopes are quickened
! and his heart with rapture burns,
So he stands and shows his longing,
at the corner Of the street,
Watching while the girls are passing,
while his throbbing pulses beat.
At no other season do the women
folks so sweetly seen:
Blessed with so much dainty beauty,
like the sweetheart OF a dream,
At no other season can the maiden
find SO rare a chance,
For the boys are seeing darkly
through the glass as in trance.
While. Bill Boggs is standing meekly
on the curb, in love-sick daze,
Susan Ann comes tripping lightly
through the twilight's golden haze
She is gowned in stylish raiment, got
ten up no beat the band,
So Bill loves, despite her freckles,
and resolves to seek her hand.
While the evening shades are failing
Liza Jane comes strolling by,
And The love-lorn Andy Smithk;ns
watches her and hcaves a sigh.
Yet. he knows about her ten'per.
knows her false and foolish pride.
But The maid looks good to Andy, and
he thinks she'll be his bride.
In the rapture of the spring lime
youth is crazed with romance,
bright,
And they think of love by Daylight
and they dream of love by NIGHT
But this mad infatuation keeps the
wedding-bells in tune,
And the girls are making troHsS eauX
for the honey-moons in June.
We trust that BraXton Smith vii!
be sport and stand for a few Ines.
so we won't be deprived of seeing
murders and other violent moving
picture pastimes.
Yes, Walter Varney, just as soo'
as you have your motor-boay re.nod-
eled. we shall be delighted to 60 rid
ing with you.
Cecil Sherman builds a boat anG
plans Trip abroad,
She is fitted for the seas wh:-e at
the dock she's moored,
Seamen will be needed just as s. m g;
she's afloat.
We suggest our "2ee-Wcc" enk-
ms and the ever faithful Eat.
