Winter Play!
Winter Sports
The children’s coats are downy white,
And ruddy winter berries bright
Are tam-o’-shanters warm and red
Upon each little golden head.
.
On sleds of holly leaves they coast,
Of silver skates they proudly boast
And snowball fights with tiny forts –
These are their jolly winter sports.

Because he can work no faster.

Time Won’t Wait For Me!
“Idle Hands Make Sad Hearts.”
You little bee,
Come play with me,
The sunshine’s warm and clear;
You need not fear
The cold severe,
The winter is not near.
My little maid,
I can’t be stayed,
I must not lose to-day.
For time, you see,
Won’t wait for me,
But sweeps the flowers away.

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.

Friend or Foe?
STRANGE FRIENDS.
What do you think of that?
A bird in love with a cat.
This picture you see,
Is as true as can be;
Puss comes every day
At the risk of a fall,
To visit her friend
On the top of the wall;
For hours together
They’ll romp in this way,
Then the cat will go home,
And the bird fly away.

A Golden Rule For Back To School!
IN SCHOOL AND OUT.
When Jumbo was young and went to school
He soon found out this golden rule,
“Work when you work – play when you play,
That is always the wisest way!”
.
For if you play in school, mayhap,
You’ll have to wear a dunce’s cap;
And he who can’t his lessons say
Will have to work while others play!
.
So Jumbo first his lessons learned,
And then went out, his playtime earned,
And if an Elephant can be so wise
I’m sure a small boy can if he tries.

Bad at Badminton!
“I HAD A COMFORTABLE SEAT ON THE WALL.”
. . . and Dicker sat beside me.
Presently they began, and it was one of the funniest things I ever saw – to watch Augustus Ham jumping up and down trying to hit a shuttlecock; he couldn’t play the least little bit; why, even Major Porker couldn’t help smiling

A Calf in a Pail!
“Stuck their whole head into it.”
When the calves were a little older, the farmer tried to teach them to drink out of a pail, but they either upset it, put their foot into it, or stuck their whole head into it so deep that when they came out even their eyes were filled with milk.

Puffy a Pretty Puppy!
PUFFY
About a pretty dog I have to tell, –
A Maltese dog, so curly, white, and fluffy;
His nose was pinker than a pink sea-shell,
His eyes were also pink, – his name was PUFFY.
When he was six weeks old, quite small and scared,
He came unto the house of his new Missis:
His teeth were sharp, he bit so hard,
She cried, “Oh what a charming doggie this is!”
When Puffy slept he rolled himself up tight,
And looked just like a little worsted bundle;
He used a large round stool to roll and bite,
Which on the floor his Missis used to trundle.

An Ideal Place to Play Dragon!
THE EDGE OF TOWN
The grape-arbor with its cool green leaves and long twisty vines and roots was an ideal place to play Dragon in. If you stretched your imagination just a little bit you could find fierce and fiery Dragons in the scaly gnarled roots of the vines.

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!
