THE DAILY LOAF
LINES FROM PETE TO LOUIE.
In the month of September,
Ah! well I remember
Thy gentle sweet vision
First courted mine eyes;
Thy hair's golden streamlets
And cheeks without rinklets
Quite captured my fancy;
I name thee my prize.
On the hill over yonder,
'Tis sweet love to wander,
Where tow'ring oak branches
A canopy spread;
And the turtle dove's cooing
But sweetens my wooing
When on my full bosom
Reclines thy fair head.
As the rain in the springtime
Calling birds from the South-clime
Awakens the blossoms
And violets blue;
So thy love with joy flooding,
My affection sets budding,
And my heart's withered pastures
Grow verdant anew.
At night in the window,
The high distant stars glow,
With dim paling lustre,
Scarce matching your eye;
And I hold my arms 'round you,
Ever glad that I found you
To be my soul's echo
To give sigh for sigh.
What tho' of scoffers,
Uncouth ribald laughters,
Black hatred mock thunder
Their envy send showers?
Plebeians that wallow
In base mire shallow
Ne'er shall feel the wonder
Of love such as ours.
AIN'T IT A FACT?
When I foist got an intro to Eddie,
I fell fer him softer'n hay;
Say, goils, I thought he was spiffy,
He had such an elegant way.
His arm was so heavy an' husky,
When he steered me 'round to de show;
An' he always remembered de popcorn,
He's a regular prince wid de dough.
His dressin' was up to de minute
An' his hats they was always top-notch;
Why, goils, I was crazy 'bout Eddie
'Till I seen that he wore a wrist-watch!
"JIM."
I stood on the bridge at midnight,
As the clock was striking the hour,
And the hour rose up indignant,
And struck back with all its power.
THE HAND I HELD ON SEVENTH ST.
By "Jim."
Last night I held a little hand,
So dainty and so sweet;
I thought my heart would surely break,
So wildly did it beat.
No hand unto my soul
Could greater solace bring,
Than that which I did hold last night—
Three aces and a king!
YOU CAN NEVER TELL/.
Stern Papa (to daughter): Look here,
Margaret, this young man of yours comes
too often. What are his intentions?
Margaret (with a smile and a sly little blush): I don't know, father. You
see, he keeps me—er—so much in the
dark.
WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT IT?
Volz: Ray, why is it a girl always
closes her eyes when you kiss her?
McGrath: Easy. She just told you that
you were the first one, and then she's
ashamed to look you in the face.
Raymond: They say that people that
live together get in time to look exactly
alike.
Ellen: Oh, then you must consider my
refusal as final.
Brother: But, hang it, that fellow only
earns nine dollars a week.
Sister: I know, but then a week passes
so quickly when you are fond of each
other.
