Thoughts For The Times.
B-VOKWAIU), TUIIK JjACliWAlip. (Apropos to the frolics on Cass (Square yesterday). I’d like to be’ a boy again, a capeiffree prince of joy again. 1 I’d like to trend the )iijlg and dales the way I used to dp; I’d like the tattered shirt again, the knickers thick with dirt again, The urglv, dusty feet again that- long ago I knew.
I’d like to play first base again, and Silver's curves to face again, I’d like to climb the way 1 did, a friendly apple tree, For knowing what I do to-day, could I hut wander hack and play I’d get full measure of the joy that boyhood gave to me. •■ * • ,i M’cjl like to he a lad again, a youngster, wild and glad again, Hit'like po Eleap and eat again the way f uspd to dq, I’(l like to race and run again, and drain from life its fun again And start another round of joy the moment one was through.
