OLD FATHER TIME

Father Time sits in the same old
place
Where he's always sat-on his
throne in space.
His hair is white and his back Is
bent,
Over his book he leans, intent.
What does he do in his age old
nook"
You ask, "as he bends DER his great
old book?"
He is jotting down by every name
OF every child and lord and dame.
The number of days each has had,
and years;
How long you will live, and ], my
dears.
And no one knows but this old, old
How long you can live, or anyone
can.
A good bookkeeper he needs must
be
And balance his books just right,
you see;
For if ever he did his figuring
wrong
Some one of us might live too long;
And that would result, as you may
guess
In a perfectly awful, terrible mess.
So, careful and watchful he sits
in his nook
With his gray head bent DER his
big old book.

knees on your elbows and lift
your feet from the floor. See-I
am standing on my head, but my
legs are not up in the air."
Beppo made the boys do what he
had shown them a number of
times and, when they had demon.
strated that they could hold the
position easily, he continued his
lesson.
Remember what you have just
learned" said the little clown, and
the perfect head stand will come
with a little practice. From the
position l have just taught you,
raise the legs very gradually and
don't let your neck wobble-keep
your feet well in front until you
get the feel of the balance. Boys
usually fail in the head stand be-
cause they are in too much of a
hurry to get their feet up, and
they fall over on their backs-but
If you go at it easily and slowly
raise your legs, you can keep your
balance, and before long you will
wonder why you couldn't do it the
very first time you tried.
when you get home, place a
soft pillow about a foot from the
wall and try your head stand on
that; if you over-balance, touch the
wall with your foot and that will
help you get the feel of the head
stand"
