For heaven il the only place that you
will be content.
They say that after you once learn to
rag and do it neat,
That all the old-time dances that have
been danced with our feet
Alas have no attraction. they belong to
times gone by
only danced by moleeoddles that have
only got one eye.
But say, now on the quiet. Ed. come
down next Sunday night.
l went to l.arn this ragging ard want
to learn it right.
The girls say you dance lovely and you
surely got their goat
When YOU lost those two back buttons
and the left tail of your coat.
Empire will turn out in great nlm-
bers to attend the dance at George ctown

town will be in service. The dance at
