THE SEQUOIA It was Grave Roscoe, so they said, A nd now she stubbed her toe, As, half-way down the eorridor, Earl Clark, of stature low, Cani-e hastening past, bound for the court A great main now, you know. For he's a lawyer of renown, XVell versed ins codes of lawg De-fendantt's counsel in a, ease Greater than that of Thaw. 'Tis Tabor who is being tried For taking what he saw. A. Naiileigh is the plaintiit bold, And swears right solemnly That Tabor stole ten yards of lace, ' Of silk just twenty-three, lVhim-ll were to make a, party dress, For her to wear at tea. XVheu the41-ourt-room now I entered, The sessiona had begun. The judge was seated ont his b-eneh, So stern, and ju-st, and glum That everyone was held in awe gm YYl1ile ' le Illllllllv was sung. I looked the judge full i11 the fare- 'Twas Shirley, I am sure. The iniage of those arms a.nd elzest, Those eyes so very pure Have been so stamped upon my mind That they will there endure. Neat Vic-tor Harris was the clerk, Full speedily she wrote, She has bee11 doing politics Sine-e women learned to vote, And, with their vote, and what she buys Her run is one of note.

THE SEQUOIA It was soon after he l1ad gone That my mistress missed her goods, Wie searched all through the house andyard And then all through the woods, 'Twas th-ere we found 4De-kt in his cart, And with him all the go-ods. A second maid then took the stand, Miss Christie was her name, She was the cook, and made the beds, And tended to the galme. Her langualglel was quite flowery, On Dek,' she placed the blame. Lena McKinnon followed next, Her evidence was free. 'fl was a guest, saw the arrest, He is the man, quoth she, And Eden Lovejoy used the silk In her new factoryf' The latter, then, was called, and said: HI am af businless man, I have a factory in town And make a patent fan. 'Phat silk, by Tabor sold to me, XVas used to line the fan. The court a recess ordered now, To rest the juryls mind, So I had time to look around, To see whom I could find Among the many spectators YVho crowded up behind. There, seated 'monfgst her many friends, IVas Lady Hozelstong She has just returned from Germany, XVhere she His Highness won. She was Bell Carson when she left, But nlow shels Hozelston.
