Over the Line With Dad.
From the Topeka State
If I could be a boy again,
On the wings of fancy loose,
Free from the cares that make
men,
In my dear old dad's caboose;
Of all there was I now recall
That made my boy heart glad
1 wish that I might go again
Over the line with dad.
Journal.
us
Chums with the brakemen laugh and
joke,
Ride on the engine awhile,
Washing away the grime and smoke,
Standing up straight in the aisle;
Climbing up on the counter high,
O, what a treat for a lad!
“offee, sandwich and custard pie—
Over the line with dad.
Sit way up in the lookout, too,
With an eye on the jostling cars,
The way of the lanterned stars;
Snuggled close fo the truest friend,
That ever a fellow had,
Wishing the might never end-—
Over the line with dad.

1 grudge no one the train de luxe,
With its splendid woods and
For fond I keep in memory’'s
A record none may surpass;
Ah. could I only by magic ruse,
Take any trip to be had,
I'd rather ride in that old caboose,
Over the line with dad.
books |
The old caboose has gone long since,
And its crew has whistled the sky, |
Faucy still with its radiant tiats
Illumines the days gone by;
And when God's caller comes
for me,
My heart shall be far from sad,
only I know that I'm to go
Over the line with dad!

Judge Henry Bosworth, of Spring

judge, in his slow, deliberate way, “1

boys and girls gn at night balf so
much as we do a bell to get ‘em up
