THE DISCONTENTED SAILOR TACK would be a sailor,^ Sail the ocean blue. With a ho-yo, ho-yo-ho, Nothing else to do. So he joined the squadron, But he found full soon. It was work, and work, and work,Morning, night, and noon. Polishing the brasses. Scrubbing up the decks,Climbing up the rigging. Drenched from feet to neck. Tell you what, cried Jackie, To his mate, Ted Brooks, Taint much like the sea life That you read in books.

RUDOLPHS ADVENTURE T) UDOLPH was out in the woods looking for-*- ^ berries. Suddenly a squad of soldiers camefrom the thick bushes. One of them seized Ru-dolph by the arm. A spy, a spy, he said gruffly,thinking it a joke to frighten the little fellow. Justthen an officer galloped up. Dismounting, he askedRudolph why he looked so frightened. Because,answered Rudolph, one of the men said I was aspy, and Im just a little boy looking for berries. Of course, said the officer kindly, bending downand patting the boys shoulder. Rudolph was notfrightened any more. Do you know the way toGlanchan ? asked the officer. Why, yes, saidthe boy, delighted to serve the officer, I live there.So the men set out for Glanchan, Rudolph leadingthe way proudly. And when the men entered thegarrison at Glanchan, Rudolph, a bright new pennyin his pocket, ran home as fast as ever he could, totell his mother all about his adventure.
