hey are bounding along at a pace That is certainly sixty an hour;And now theyre in Spain or Japan or Lorraine, Or skipping past London Tower. 122 The Story of Danny ODoone Howd they travel the seas ? At the bottom thereofThere are cables, dear reader, there are! Which they rode on in bliss—and I might say thatthisWas the start of the cable-car! They thrived on this life and most corpulent grew; Yes, even the skinny and* slight.Which proves, as I hear was remarked by a seer, That travel is broadening, quite. And for ages and ages they sped through the world, Till bored with terrestrial things.They heavenward pointed and joined the anointed, Then weary of angels and wings, They hopped to the sun, from the sun to the moon, (A wandering crew youll allow).A planet a day was their schedule; they may Be in lands Betelgeusean now! And Im sure they are singing, Oh, trolley la la For a life minus worry and fuss! Whod laugh and be jolly and chase melancholy, Come trolley la la-ing with us! 123

emma NEW CURE! Physical shock cured headache,—^A^. Y, Sun, 1\ yi Y head was athrobbing to beat the band,^ ^ ^ And feeling aweary and sick,I went to the doc and I cried, Old sock, A couple of pellets quick!Oh, pills are old-fashioned, the method I use Is better, the medico spoke.And hit me a lick with a hickory stick, And I hadnt a pain—till I woke! I called on the Doolins not long ago, Ill never forget that day.His missus and Pat had a bit of a spat. And once, at the height of the fray, 124 ■^ New Cure! As the missus hit Pat with a ponderous vase,She said, You are greatly mistaken If you think that I do it to hurt you; I threw itA-thinkin your head might be achin! Old Perkins was troubled with headaches foryears, His case was a pitiful one;His pains would abide though the gentlemantried Every remedy under the sun.But to-day he has nary a pain nor an ache, No more has he reason to chafe;A neighbor assured me the fellow was cured The day he was hit by a safe! 125 A NEW YEAR CARD A
