Goodbye Old Year!
Old Year’s Departure.
The Old Year in his aeroplane, en route for Elfin Land,
Looks back as far as he can see, and waves a friendly hand,
And though he may not come again to dwell with us below,
In visions he may still return, in memory’s afterglow.
.
His brother Years, a countless throng, await the old, old Year,
And welcome him with toast and song, they’re proud of his career,
For he has given flowers and fruit and sun and ice for our delight,
So, “Bon voyage, Old Year!” Let’s shout when he sails off tonight.

Santa And The Fairies!
St. Nicholas and His Aeroplane
When you have hung your stocking up and crawled into your bed,
St. Nicholas with his fairy crew is sailing overhead,
And on the roofs of children’s homes he pauses in his flight,
While down the chimney goes the crew with gifts for your delight.
.
The Brownies made this aeroplane to carry dear St. Nick,
And now there’s time for every child because he goes so quick.
His reindeer, sleek and fat, stay home and munch their hay and corn,
Delighted that they trot no more from Christmas Eve till morn.

Jimmie’s Happy Veterans Day!
“Jimmie,” said his brother Tom, as he gave the fish to his mamma, “let’s play we are sailors. We can use mamma’s tubs for boats, and fasten our flags onto them.”
“All right, Tom,” returned Jimmie, “we will play the tubs are battleships, and that we are the captains, and we can pretend to shoot big cannons at each other.”
This was great fun, and went along nicely until Jimmie got so excited that he tipped over his boat, and then there was a great squealing.

Happy Father’s Day!
Dear Father.
“Since you are so kind as to think of me, dear father,” answered Beauty, “I should like to have you bring me a rose, for we have none in our garden.”
It was not that Beauty cared so much for a rose, but she did not want it to look as if she were trying to be better than her sisters, who would have said she refused only to be praised.
From the story “Beauty and The Beast”

Happy Flag Day!
He marched around the orchard with his gun over his shoulder, carrying his flag.
“When I grow up,” he said, “I mean to be a great general like I read about in my books. Then I can tell people what to do, and they will have to mind me. Then Mamma can’t say ‘Jimmie don’t do this’ and ‘Jimmie don’t do that.’ And then I can have all the corn I want.”

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
In Mexico
Soon they will sup from a beautiful dish,
Modeled in clay, on tortillas and fish.
Then, when the stars are all lighted, perchance
Off they will run to the plaza to dance.
Songs in their hearts and sweet bells on their clothes;
Gay little Mexicans, give me a rose!

April Fooled!
April Fooled
On a smiling April Day,
The Fairies loitering in their play
Were lured upon the distant hills
By Crocuses and Daffodils.
And then the roguish April Day
Fooled each unsuspecting fay,
Conniving with these fickle flowers
She sent them tantalizing showers.

Lady Spring
O Lady Spring, so sweet and shy,
The whole world smiles when you pass by,
The rippling streamlets dance along
And all the birds burst into song.
A flower-embroidered carpet new
Of lovely green is laid for you,
The budding tree, the perfumed air
Bespeak a welcome everywhere.

U. S. Presidents – Six Shot – Four Killed!
“THE ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.”
“While holding a reception in the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo, September 6, 1901.”
. . . a medium-sized man of ordinary appearance and plainly dressed in black, approached as if to greet the President. . . the man’s right hand was swathed in a bandage or handkerchief. He worked his way to the edge of the dais until he was within two feet of the President. President McKinley smiled, bowed and extended his hand in that spirit of geniality the American people so well know, then suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out loud and clear above the hum of voices, the shuffling of feet and vibrating waves of applause that ever and anon swept here and there over the assemblage.
“PRESIDENT MCKINLEY’S LOVE FOR CHILDREN.”
“Giving his buttonhole carnation to a little girl at one of his receptions.”

Happy Chinese New Year!
“New Year’s Day, China”
Pitter, patter, through the street,
Cling-a-ling, long;
Fire crackers, children,
And lantern song.
February’s rather late –
Bim-a-bam, bin! –
But the bells are bringing
The new year in.

Hey, every Gnome, Spirit and Fay its Ground-Hog Day!
“Ground-Hog Day.”
Now, listen to my proclamation,
Each Gnome, and Spirit, and Fay,
And mind no weather-man but me,
For this is Ground-Hog Day.
When Lady Spring my shadow sees
In fright she runs away,
But since my shadow I have hid,
Miss Spring will come to stay.
