Heaps of songs have been written
OF youths that were smitten
And flappers who. too, fell in

Miles and miles have been sung
about.
One might say flung about,

There are songs about Mars.
There are songs of the stars,
There are millions of songs of
the moon.
There are songs about morning,
Sad songs with a warning,
And loads about couples that
spoon.
There are songs without number
or wild dreams and slumber,
And wilder ones dreamed while
awake.
There are ditties quite frisky,
With parts downright risque.
And songs of the mist on the
lake.
There are songs of the fall
And of nothing at all:
OF the bride and the groom and
the ring.

Tornado RACES
But tFdt'Does
Not knou 1t

Every time THE Big sFour"
went on a camping or fishing
trip Fat Ames was sure to
spend half of his time sleeping.
Tickling and pinching did no
good.
The Big Four had been sorry
when school stopped their sum-
mer outings. So they were very
glad when Mr.. Potter, father of
Jimmy Potter, arranged to take
them on a fishing trip over Sat-
urday and Sunday.
They spent all Saturday fish
ing, and had good luck-that
is. three of the boys and Mr..
Potter had good luck. Fat
curled up and went to sleep.
They went to bed early, for
the weather was quite chilly,
and a wind was rising. Soon
after they were snugly in the
tent a cold, steady rain began
to fall. The wind blew with
increasing violence.
Along in the middle Of the
night, Fat was awakened by
some one shaking him. Get up,
Fat" one Of the boys shouted
In his ear. There's cyclone
or something. It's blowing
limbs down and the tent may
go any minute"
Fat half opened his eyes. He
decided 1t was a dark morning
and they were trying to get
him up early. You fellows go
fishing without me-" he num-
bled sleepily. I'm going to
finish my nap" In spite of
their shakings he was off to
sleep again.
Along came a gust of wind,
blowing open the flap of the
tent. 1t pulled the top cover
from the shivering Fat. You
fellows leave those covers
alone" he protested, cor I'll,
I'll" He was asleep again.
once more he was awakened,
this time by cold water on his
lace. mat was a mean trick,
he thought angrily. He Just
wouldn't pay any attention, so
again he cuddled under the
covers.
The sun was shining brightly
when he awoke again. He
looked about in bewilderment.
The tent was not above his
head. but was lying against a
tree not far away. Gee, Fat"
called ice Potter excitedly, I'VE
had regular tornado. and you

We'll, why didn't you let me
