THE STROLLER !

Have you heard the song of our nation
as sung by "the Girl in Red"
While the carnival band is playing and
flags flying overhead?
America, 1 Love You," it's a theme
that makes the nation ring,
And it makes our hearts beat faster
as we listen to Julia sing.
Our Girl in Red" stirs the heart-beats
and our pulses throb as she stands
And sings our song they are singing
today in far distant lands,
For our girl in red is an emblem of the
home of the brave and the free,
And her message is being carried to-
day over land and sea-
America, 1 Love You," let us sing it
by day and night,
For it thrills with it's fire and beauty
and stands for our right and might.
And the flag of our nation waving on
the wings of the summer breeze
Will carry our message of freedom
and our nation wide DEGREES.
Sing us another Julia-America's
Girl in Red"
Americas patriot song-bird that car
ries our flag ahead
Cheers for the "bit" you're doing shall
follow you day by day,
And blessings of freedom lovers shall
follow you all your way

Several days ago there was a quiet
wedding in Watertown to which only
few guests were hidden, being a
home affair and private. However, as
is often the case, few friends slipped
around, and in turn were slipped
something by the groom to celebrate
the occasion with. AS three of the old
time friends were making a quiet exit
from the premises, preparatory to
seeking joy parlOr whereby the
change might be converted into GER
tain refreshments, they encountered
a certain lonely foot passenger on his
late road home. 1t was a dark and
stormy night, and the foot passenger
had just been reading about holdups
and the like, and seeing the stealthy
forms, he started on the run at a two
forty gait. The more that the three
friends. called halt" the faster the
lone one hit the gravel. At the end of
the block, the lone racer ran into
cop, and appealed for protection. A
little Hawkshaw work was done on
the part of the cop, and in a few mo-
ments the whole bunch was lined up.
Mutual explanations were in order,
with the result that the man who near

heard the joke about the "solo on the
bass drum?' Well, it is no longer a
joke, and if you don't believe that
there is such an animal as a bass
drum solo, watch the bass drummer
