I dreamed one night that I was old and gray. Ithought I saw a man and heard him say, T H E D R M - Remember this and get it in your head, That when you die you'll be a long time dead. I turned my face and while there in my dream I looked and sobbed and then began to scream. The man came nigh and lifted up my head, Then to my weeping heart he kindly said: Look up, lift up thine eyes and weep no more, ' For these vou'll meet upon the golden shore. I looked upon the bright and shining scroll, And these are they he had upon his roll. The jolly Senior class of nineteen seven Was written down to meet me there in Heaven. First came Marie, the' leader of our class Who's average none was able to surpass, But closely followed Luna Duncan's name Whose cheerful look has always been the same. ' Each name appeared as I glanced down the line The order now I do not hear in mind. But Madge's and Helen's and Emma Melcher's too . Were there with Dena's all written out in blue. ' Now Holmes and Orus, Elder, and our Grace Were also marked as having won the race, And Elsie's to, with Mary's and Roy's were there Some placeg I know not now exactly where. And there also appeared, less bright, l deem, y The name of one, the dreamer of this dream. To me it seemed I was in perfect ease, The names of those had now my mind released. , I raised mv eves at last from oft' the scroll And heard a bell begin to slowly toll. - I asked the man if he could only tell The thing which caused the ringing of the bell, A He then replied with smiles upon his face, You're old, you know, and weary of life's race, The Lord to -you your life has kindly spared ' And many are the trials in which you've shared, He now sees fit to take you by His grace . Where you may meet your class mates face to face It seemed as if he lead me by the hand To what they call the holy promised land. I then' came. in upon the streets of gold Where moth and rust do not corrupt, we're told. . And in the finest mansion of the place The foot prints of my class mates Icould trace. ' I entered there with greetings from my class, Because I was the last from earth to pass. So kind, so good so beautiful they be A That my poor heart gave way, nor, could I see. But my first grief was turned to greatest 'joys When like a maid my eyes fell on the boys I said to them: You're happy here, I hope? Then one of them for all the others spoke. Said he: K'Long years we've waited here for thee The iiesh was slow to set your spirit free. But now we'll praise the Savior of mankind And things of earth will enter not our mind. All seemed to cry, Hosannah to the throne! And Blessed be the Maker of our home. The praises to the King, the silence broke, --ELMER E. COLLINS. And from my dream, with grief to me, I woke. - .....,....,.s-- ...rv ,,r?,, ,LM V

' I'm not an ordinary burglar-in fact I was never known to crack anything smaller than a bank vault-but the other night I chanced onto an experience that was new to me. After the usual preliminaries Ifound myself in the vaults of the Greenfield Safety Deposit Company and the first thing that my eyes lit upon was a stack of money packages that even John D. ltockyfellow might be glad to add to his roll. Just then I heard Dad Owens round the corner in a suspicious manner and I hastily crammed the whole job lot into my sack, jumped through the back window, and hustled off to my cave, where, with visions of abright and easy future, I dreamed dreams of contentment and peace the remainder of the night. In the bright light of the early dawn I opened my sack to count my newly acquired wealth. Say, what do you suppose I found there? No money at all but a lot of pesky Wills and Last Testaments and such punk, left by a lot of school kids- Seniors, I think they called themselves-that was just completing their sentence in a high school. I spent the whole day reading the lay-out, but that's all I got out of my night's work. .lust the same some of 'em was right original, and I'm handing you these few extracts just to show you how them folks was disposing of'what they had to give: ' Elmer Collins-To my friend, George Ryan, my great store of knowledge, on condition that he promise to faithfully follow in my footsteps when he shall have finished in G.
