THE JUNIOR'S DREAM When the night is slowly falling, And the busy day is done, And you're sitting in the twilight, Just you, the only one. You're feeling sad and lonely, And you have a little dream- You seem to be in forests, Resting near a rippling stream. The sun is shining brightly, The birds seem happy and gayg And then you sigh in wonder, Oh, what a perfect day. The dream becomes much sweeter, Your heart leaps with a whirl, When on the bank of yonder stream You recognize a girl. Her dress is of a crystal white, With a sash of navy blue: And there you sit and wonder If she recognizes you. Then you speak to her so kindly, And she answers with a smile, Which seems to make you happy And think that life's worth while. It is only but a moment, And you are on your feet, Standing there and glaring At the beauty you should meet. You advance a little forward, And fall into the strearng And then awake in wonder- For it's only but a dream.

were his three best sellers. First, and best, he told me, was one composed by Bayard Hollinsheadf' They always, always pick on me, They never, never let me beg I'm so lonesome, awfully sad, It's been a long time since l've been glad, But I know what I'll do, some sweet day. I'll go to Polo, and there I'll stay, And when I'm gone-just wait and see-A They'll get Charles Burr, and send him after me. The next in popularity was by Carl Meakins: It was a long way to Sterling, It was a rough road to gog It's the longest way to Sterling, In Couris' machine-I know. Good-bye, all you fellows, Farewell, M. H. S. Therels a bad place between here and Sterling, And I struck it, I guessf, This was to have been featured on Mr. Fitzgerald's anxitaphone, but we didn't get the record in time. The third our dealer thot might possibly be: When a boy named Knox, Knox, Knox, Spends the night with Sammy S., What do you suppose did happen? You will never guess. Well, I cannot tell you now, For that would be a shame: But Walter knows just how it goes Not to answer to some other name? This visit to the music store has encouraged me greatly. The Juniors are jumping right to the front in music, as in entertaining, and to them I would say: You're not finished, just beginning, You'll be there in the winningg Your girls are few, but they are true, And your boys surely good fellows, too. Oh the year nineteen sixteen is for luck and succeeding: On red and black you'll not go back, So here's to all of you.
