THE NORTHLAND ECHO 59 Thanks a Million for sending me Orchids for Remembrance. When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain, I will sit in my Solitude looking at the Blue Moon, and listening to t.he Chapel Bells. When I see You Again, I'll think It's a Wonderful World. The First Time We Met With the Wind and the Rain in my Hair, I saw Lilacs in the Rain. Good-bye my Lover. Won't You Hurry Home. Faithful Forever, Sierra Sue. Jokes Diner: What on earth is this broth made from, water? Surely it isn't chicken broth? Waiter: Well, sir, it's chicken broth in its infancy. It's made out of the water the eggs were boiled in. Three proprietors of chicken farms were be- ing questioned by an S. A. man. What do you feed your hens? he asked the first. Corn. You're under arrest! We use corn to feed peoplelw The second overheard this conversation and replied to the same question: Corn husks. You're under arrest! We use the husks to make cloth. And you?,' he said, turning to the third. The latter replied, I give my hens the money and tell t.hem to go and buy their own foodli' Limericks Annabelle had a face like a dream Her voice never raised to a scream But retiring at night Her face was a sight For her skin was all blemished with cream. A fat man just hasn't much chance To impress the fair sex at a dance When they played the Paul Jones The air fills with groans And he always ends up in short pants. There was a young girl up the river Whose parents once sent her for liver She went to the show And spent all her dough Now her parents will never forgive her. There was a yoimg Miss from Decatah Who thought she,d sing in the theatah. The poor little thing When she got up to sing Got hit with a rotten tomatah! XII A FORM NOTES MRS. B.

Mr. Hardwick: The four of you can come to-night for a detention. A Voice: Ah, a foursome for bridge. Clark Cfrom Callanderj: May I have this dance? Girl: No thanks, I don't square dance. Mr. Hardwick Ctranslatingj: When I hold her in my arms she is like a beautiful statue. Cand maybe as cold tool. Quiz: What did the bartender say to the ghost?- Rumboogie . What did one ink drop say to the other?- My father's up in the pen. For how long?', Oh, just a short sentencef, What's the similarity between a dress and a composition?

Rosborough- Now in my opinion-- Lost yesterday Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.

58 THE NORTHLAND ECHO Haunting Shadows Sometimes when a shadow crosses my path, As shadows sometimes do, I think back to the good old days When I strolled this path with you: And oft times when I close my eyes, I see your sweet dear face, Then you're gone again into the skies, And I sit and stare into space. Ah yes! When a shadow crosses my path, As you know they often do, My heart leaps back to those happy days, When I strolled this path with you. MR. S. HARDWICK The Scots Return 'Twas a bonnie Highlander came home, Sick leave we've heard it said, And a bonnie lass at the Junction Was the ailment that he had For as he lay with fevered brow He pined and pined until The orderly was forced to allow him leave, He was so ill! And then he came this Highlander, To see his bonnie lass Well, he could 'nae wait to see her, So he called her from the class. Then she grew pale, 'twas her bonnie lad Of Regiment forty-eight. And next he asked her if,- Weel-with him she'd make a date! And she answered in the affirmative With deepest of concern And she floated back with dreamy looks No time for thought for us or books, Her laddie had returned!

Wiles If I serve him T-bone steak, And a luscious peach shortcake, If I invitingly prepare Slippers, pipe and easy chair, If I nestle at his knee And look at him adoringly, Do you suppose my man will guess The scene is set for a new dress? Oh Johnny, It's Been So Long but Could I Forget You? I Thought About You ever since I was a Girl with the Pigtails in My Hair. There I Go, thinking of Blueberry Hill Where Two Dreams Met. I know Iill Never Smile Again till the Swallows Come Back to Capistrano.

The End It would soon be over: he looked at the pistol, lingered the trigger and sighed. Why must it all end? Why did not time stop in its eternal flight? He looked about him-a sea of faces-hilarious-hardly realizing that within a few moments he would end it all. Why did they stare at him so? He'd show them-the pistol. That was it. He raised it toward his head, took a last deep breath and fired: a woman screamedg the play was over!
