THE BIRDS’ CONCERT
The birds gave a concert
One summer day.
In a green tree-top
Over the way.
Thrushes and linnets
And blue-jays together.
Every one dressed
In his very best feather.
The larks and the blackbirds
Came in a crowd.
And gold-cested robins
Feeling so proud.
The wrens and the sparrows
Came with the rest.
Each one determined
To do just his best.
The robins were leaders.
And pitched the tunes high;
The larks went a-soarlng
Up to the sky.
The voices of blue-Jays
And blackbirds all blended
And every one thought
The concert was splendid!
The longest canal in the world Is In
Russia. It extends from St Peters-
burg to the frontier of China and
measures nearly 450 miles.
The congress of the United States
Is not quite ready to plunge the nation
hell-bent Into war.
ON THE VERGE
OF SPRING

sity. See our Spring and
