When I used to Neal and call her all sorts of mushy names, she would blush to beat the Dickens and just say, IIAW, go-on, wlt at are your Wordsworth? An then just to tease me, sle' would say, iTye got a Newman, his name is Mac Caulie-yfl Great Scott but that would make me mad. :Her father's name was Ben Jonson. He was a Longfellow andta Goldsmith by trade. Up overihis Temple his hair Was awful Gray. I-Ie didnit like to have me any his daughter goin, towether so he decided to Cooper. He used to Locke her up in her room upstairs aif tell her Sterne as could be, IIDonit you go with that Crabbe anV Moore? Then I used to get a ladder an'l put it up to her winder so she could climb down anl weld Steele away together as Swift as we could. Illl tell you it owuldnit a ibeen good for our Bacon if held a caught us. ' fter we got older Ole Ben didnt care so much for me comm to see his daughter. One day I said to Rossette, llDo you s,pose your pa and ma would care if I'd marry you.PW She jist looked at me with a grin anl said, IlVVhy donlt you AschamW VVal we went to the house right away, anl when we went in, that was her pa a settin, thar. So I jist started over where he was anl kept gittin closer an, closer itill I accidently stepped on his Bunyan; and he let a yell out of him as if he might Beowulf; This nil on to skeered me to death but I finally got up courage to ask him and he jist said, IlAs you like it , 96 96 96 'X' 96 'X' 96 Now we are living happily with a summer home on the Rhine and a winter home in the city. At each of our Holmes we; always have something to Chaucer. . , -VVm. Perman, 12.

When the boy who was president of the class was compelled to leave schoOl on ac- count of poor health, Robert was chosen in his place. Even after he had received these honors and had made up his back work, Mr. Brice would not allow- him on the track-team., to the disgust of many Of the boys. The time arrived when the Ninerock team was to meet heir rival upon the home field. On the great day large crowds assembled long before the'time of the meet and waited impa- tiently'for the events .to begin. While going to the field John Bryan was talking to the coach and the captain. The latter said, . lKWhen I saw the runners of Lemon this morning I concluded that we were as good as beaten.

Brice amazed, llSurely thatis not so V llCertainlyf said John, llwhile I was practicing I saw him coming in, and heard Andrew Newcastle announce the time? llThere must have been something wrong with his watch? said Mr. Brice. llHowever we can let him run, though he donit deserve it. .

TO A .MALCONTENT. Youlre tired of this world of sin, Itls- lying and deceit, Where you meet fraud on eV,ry hand, Justice beneath itls feet; I l' . No matter where you turn today You,ll find a world of shame, . Where greedy trusts o,e'r run the land And no one is to blame. ' Try as you will you cannot place The blame Where itvshould be; . You always cast- the WIjOng man down 'The guilty one goes free. I The world is dying out today Beneath its load of crime, llWhy canlt we set these things aright? Come on! Now is the time? It seems as thol no one Will take The lead in this grand cause, a Thol eviry one Will stand around , Aud curse our national laws You just sit down and mOpe and growl, And ev,ry thing goes wrong, Until, With discontent and grief You sing this little song. llOur country has gone money-madf lSad case of mild brainstormy, And now my lads look out for graft, lT-lwill come in .e-vlry form. ,Twill take your money from the bank, The roof from oler your head- The love of gain destroying all Beneath its stealthly tread.
