HE LOVES HIS WORK
Timmy Donahue, of north of town, has returned to Saint Ambrose College in Davenport, after his well earned Easter vacation. Timmy is finishing his third year at the big institution and his love for his work increases
as the years roll on.—Williamsburg Journal-Tribune.
The Poulterer was poultering on a sunny summer day;
And the Fruiterer was fruitering his fruit;

He has Paulus in his power
And he takes him for a mop.
Slowly then their legs untwisted,
Stiffly rose they from the floor,
