BOOMERANG
When ai bit of sunshine hits ye.
After passing of a cloud,
When a fit of laughter gits ye,
And ye’s spine is feelin’ proud.
Don’t forget to up and fling it
At a soul that’s feelin’ blue,
For the minit that ye sling it
It’s a boomerang to you.
—Capt. Jack Crawford.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

son, of Georgia, considered the fol

the works of Miss Amelia Welby,
the most beautiful in the English

The twilight hours like birds flew by
So gentle and so free,
Ten thousand stars were in the sky
Ten thousand in the sea.
For every wave with dimpled cheek
That leaped upon the air,
Had caught a star in its embrace
And held it, trembling, there.
