you are too young to be out that much
at night and also too young to be pay

Ponds upon having an automobile. do
you think they would be dependable
friends should you be deprived of this
luxuryf Pretty 10 as pretty does" you
know. and II you look only for beauty
Of face you will probably receive many
disappointments. I advise every boy
and girl who IL old enough to go to-
gether In q social way to enjoy as many
friends A. they wish. II II not good
practice to think there must be .
steady"

TOPSY, Utah.-Here 10 perhaps the
gong you asked for some time ago. It
came all the way from Gold Run. Calf.
for US:
There's = pretty spot In ireland.
Where . little cottage stands,
A rustic homo cherished all my life.
It's old-fashioned. rough and dlngy.
But was built by honest hands.
And what = lovely jewel lived inside.
II was not q costly Jewel
Which the wealth Of gold could buy.
But q tender-hearted iassie,
With fond love-iight In her eyes.
o my heart. Il grows impatient
And I have no peace Of mind.
Chorus
A little brown cottage.
A shady green spot,
No happier home could I hnd.
My hearts fairly gone.
For ! love only one.
She's the girl left behind.
When first met charming Nora,
II was on one moonlight night.
With the lads and lassies gathered on
the green.
It's the same old tale repeated.
I was captured at nrst sight.
For In my eyes she seemed an Idle
queen.
And the piper with his merry tunes,
What Joy he did inspire.
The notes of her sweet voice
Touched cord within my heart.
In my dreams ] see vision
OF her face so good and kind.
And long to sec the girl ! left behind
