I remember, I remember,
Ere my childhood flitted by,

And was warmer in July.

In the summer there were thaws;
But the weather isn't now at all
Like what it used to was!

"Is it an accident? What happened?" inquired a worried-looking

"Some one pulled the bell-cord!" shouted the conductor. "The express
knocked our last car off the track! Take us four hours before the
track is clear!"
"Great Scott! Four hours! I am supposed to be married to-day!" groaned
the passenger.

the cord?"

need a vacation. You'll only blow in your money and come back broke."
"I like to have vacation," persisted Tony. "I get married, and I kinda
like to be there.
