The mule had just balked in the road when the Doctor came by. Mr. Engalls asked him for something to start the mule. The doctor reached down into his medicine case and gave the mule some powders. The mule switched his tail, toss- ed his head and started at a mad gallop down the road. Mr. Engalls watched the flying animal. How much did that medicine cost, Doc? he asked. Oh, about fifteen cents, said the phy- sician. Well, give me a quarter's worth, quick! I've got to catch that mule! Alas for little Mary!

LITERARY A TREE Have you ever thought that a mighty tree Who cannot think, hear, or see, Knows when to shed its mighty leaves When winter comes, like a mighty breeze? I-Iave you ever thought that a mighty tree Who cannot think, hear, or see, Knows when to bring it's buds out When the warm spring has come without? So many people overlook a tree, you see, But a tree is not overlooked by me. Arthur Mason 53 HAPPY NEW YEAR The new year enters, without pride, I have my bottle at my side I'll drink its contents, mighty rugged- And soon I'll feel so mighty drugged. This celebration tnot at hornel, Gives me a chance to run and roam, Of course this means I'll have to drive Oh gee! I'm glad that I'm alive. I'll have such might and power when, I get behind the wheel-and then I'll be the master, great and mighty, When I get her over ninety. This new year I will not forget: fe Right to the end I'll not regret This time that's filled full of glee: Nothing could ever happen to me! I need a smoke: Now where's a light? Some matches Somewhere--oh, all right I'll take both hands off from the wheel, And find my lighter ta great ordeall. Of course this car is doing sixty, I never go slower. Aren't I nifty? What's that, a tree? There's two instead. I'm seeing things: Oh, my poor head! Well, here I am, as good as dead, This year's not good while I'm in bed, The nurses are real good to me, But while I'm here I'm not happy. The best way to spend New Years night, Is lying abed, to start things right. That way, you're almost sure, I say, That you'll see next New Years Day. John Tozier 5l LONELY ROAD I walked along a lonely road, I didn't mind at all, As I walked and whistled- What! Did I hear someone call? I turned about to listen, I could not hear a thing, But as I started on again I could hear church bells ring. This time I'stopped to listen, They were coming to me still, I then looked up and in the haze To a church upon a hill. I heard the people singing, I heard the preacher pray, As I walked along that lonely road That warm September day. Maurice Call 52 FACTS OF HISTORY I know that rich America, Was found by proud Columbus, The Tories killed Abe Lincoln, They certainly raised a rumpus. The war of civil strife, Was led by Herbert Hooverg Was won by a well known woman: Her name was Bessie Looper. The Indians lead a massacre Against many a Chinese herog They drew their swords to fight, Although 'twas well below zero. I know that rich Van Buren, Was a brave explorer and trapperg But the thing that troubles me, Is how they grow Georgia crackers.
