Shooting Stars.

Lazy Day Dream.

Lazy Day Dream.
I dreanlh about a lazy day
Quite free from disputation,
When all the world would seem at play
Upon vast vacation.
I dreamt about shady spot
Where waves were softly swishin',
While all my cares could be forgot
And SO I went a-hshin'.
A sympathetic spirit proved
The best of my enjoyment.
1t seemed my friends had met and moved
To cease from all employment.
No fish I caught, but one leaped out
In generous elation
And whispered, Don't you know, Old
Scout,
We, too, are on vacation"

Peace Warriors.
Who does not hate the thought OF war,
Despite the inclination
To use the bands and trappings for
A peace time celebration?
Even when peace-time warriors 60
On picnics neat and lawful,
The uniforms queer taste will show
And the music's rather awful!
