Back to the dear old home town I was carried, Only to be knocked off my feet in surprise. For Miss Edith How had long since been married. To one of Madera’s prominent cement guys. From there I was whirled to a foreign land. And seated in a famous artist’s studio. She stood before the canvas, easel in hand. And looked for the world like Grace Crow. Next it was a scene in England, And a parade for “the Women who Work” At the head of the procession, in front of the band, Was our new member, Miss Stella Turk. From there I visited a logging camp. And, to my amazement, I found myself head cook; But. at that moment, I was awakened by a cramp, And found that IT had my feet in the brook.

If you'll only speak wp, my lad.” At first, I acted as if the cat had my tongue For not a word did I say; But, conquering myself, I fairly sung, “Tell me of my classmates, | pray.” Then up spake the bird, in its very queer wav. “Tl grant you your wish at once; But not a word must you say, When I am doing my stunts.” He scampered, squealed, and jumped like a mouse, And tore around as if in a rage. All of a sudden—I was seated in an opera house Facing a magnificent stage.

The scene changed to a school room, Where everybody appeared to be in a hustle; For at the teacher's desk did loom, The dear face of Ruby Russell. Next [entered the library at Madera. Selecting a chair, I sat down. On glancing around, I received a scare— For there at the desk sat Marie Brown. My attention was called to a book. lately printed, All bound in red and entitled, “The Hun,” On reading the author’s name—my ! but I squinted For it read, “By Elizabeth Washington.” From there, southward I went, To Mexico, the land of the sun, I visited the new President, Known as H.
