Leaces From Our Poets

Where an Old Mill Stream
is Flowing
By Mr.. J. b.
There's an old mill stream a flowing
In far off country lane,
And at night I'm often dreaming
That I'm back there once again,
Where the violets sweet are growing
In a woodland dense and still
And / hear it still babbling
AS it flows on by the mill.
Chorus
There's an old mill stream allowing
Where it babbles all day long
There the violets sweet are growing
In wood that's filled with song
And in dreams IN often wand ring
Yes, I'm back out there again
Where an old mill stream is flowing
In far-of country lane.
Sometimes days seem long and dreary,
But the nights are filled with joy,
For again I'm out there wand ring
AS did when once boy
Mongst the violets and the blue bells
Just wand'ring aimlessly;
And again m once more happy
When that dream comes back to me.

And now we lay aside the mask.

And players scatter to their homes
To meet another day
The Office boys have gone to work,
King Baseball lost his crown
When the Dodgers and the Red Sox
Slowly rang the curtain down.-Er

Diplomacy is often knife in the hands
of the underhanded.
It's not what you say, but the way you
say things-that count.
Age brings man knowledge of many
things he doesn't want to know.
Self. confidence is all right if you are in
position to back it up.
You can always discern a wise man by
the company he avoids.
Remember, you're only hurting your
self when you knock place.
There's all kind of credit systems, but
you can't buy experience on credit.
Youth is going to tackle the things to-
morrow that age finished today.
The golden rule is o. X, but the one
used BY lot of people is plated.
Always think we'll of a neighbor if you
would be we'll thought OF by him.
Remember the path to success is paved
with good ntentions-intentions that were
carried out.
Experience tells me all things come to
the man who waits-if he waits on himself
while waiting.
Time is money when you have to pay
one dollar and half for repairing sixty
nine cent watch.
Gee! one little taste of success makes
man long for all he can swallow. Its free
unto all. Take a chance and eat a piece,
you wont get sick.
The parents who style their children:
ncorrigible; have failed in their duty as
signed them Sy One who accepts no failure
as final answer.
No matter if you are at the bottom or
the top of the LADDER Of fame, you are never
above needing help.
Don't forget fellowmen, the day is past
when one can pretend to know things.
People want to be shown.
When two humans can walk side by
side and find conversation superAuous, that
is sign of true friendship.
The road to success bright future is
open to all, but too many want to get there
without the trouble of going.
Beware lest soaring into the ethereal
domain in quest of your "star of destiny
you stumble over some mundane precipice.
AS misguided youths we often i'm
agined that every girl was interested in our
welfare, when in reality some are interested
in our farewell.
My opinion as to why some fellow re-
fuses OF shirks taking physical exercise out
in the open air, when time is devoted for
that purpose. for his benefit, is because it
doesn't come in bottle.
AT the end of three weeks of married
life, Southern darky returned to the
