Where Has the Little Girl Gomez

Where Has the Little Girl Gomez
- (McLandburgh Wilson)
Inc SHOWS OF yesteryear are gone,
Their like will come again:
The blooms Of ,yes,err June are fed.
We ask for what has gone for good
Amid the dizzy whirl
And for the sign by which We knew
The old-time little girl.
Now from the cradle to the grave
Throughout their length of years
70 hold their hats upon their heads
They bristle thick with spears
And SO We ask: Where has she gona
The girl before the pin,
Who wore to moor her hat on tight
Elastic meath her chin?

we printed recently regarding certain
Christmas presents and comments
thus: Clipped from correspondence
in an exchange and if you can fig
ure it out. You are entitled to a
lamp. Go to it, "A young man in
one Of the families had four lamps
hung for him on the Christmas tree
Saturday night. A brother Of his had
none and says he thinks they might
have hung him one hog If no more.
There are different kinds of liber-
alities and hoggishness.'' But one
of the jokes of the matter was that
the word lamps should have read
lambs.-West Pennington correspond
ent of Pennington Chronical.
Well, go to 1t! Nights we'll be hung
for an old sheep as a lamp, anyway.
