Just about this time of year, with the

source of happiness.
For I never had a yearning to poss
ess a golden store.
As a poor man 1 could smile and
could whistle all the while
W ith my hands deep in the pockets
where the
wasn't any money;
But today my heart is sad. and I wish
I had
A fortune just to make tbe lives of
little children sunuv.
Just about this time of year, with the
Christmas drawing near,
I begin to wish I could be rich for
just a week or two;
For the curse of being poor is that
I must shut my door
On the chance of making merry
every little tot I view,
Oh. I w-ouldn't hoard It up, like a
miser, in a cup,
And I wouldn't reinvest it in those
solid copper stocks;
But I'd take a shopping trip and I'd
let the greenbacks slip
For trumphets and tin soldiers and
those letered building blocks.
There's an orphan girl I know, I would
set her heart aglow;
There's a cottage where a mother
sits and cries,
For her little children play, all except
ing Christmas day,
For they cannot read the sadness in
her eyes.
Oh, it's there that I would go, when
the lights are burning low,
And their empty stockings I would
fill:
Tltis is just the time of year w*hen I'm
envious, I fear,
Of the man who has a hundred-dol
lar bill.
What is poverty to me?
and fancy free.
And the blue skies bend above
as I sing upon my way;
But at just this time of year, with
the Chrismtas drawing near,
I d like to be a millionaire for just
about a day.
O. it s not that now I sigh for the
pleasures gold would buy—
For all forms of disappointments
I have known.
And to Aee some little tot, who per
haps will be forgot.
Makes me wish I had a fortune of
my own.
