1 THE JOLLY JOBBERNOWLS I
Reform.
Oh how shall I help to right the world that is
going wrong?
And what can I do to hurry the promised time of
ppace ?
The day of work is short and the night of sleep
is long.
And whether to pray or preach or whether to sing
a sonr.
To plow in my neighbor's field or to seek the
golden fleece
Or to sit with my hands in my lap and wish that
ill would cease!
I think sometimes it were best just to let the
Lord alone;
1 am sure some people forget he was here before
thoy came.
Though they say it is all for his glory 'tis a
good deal more for their own
That they peddle their petty schemes and blate
and babble and groan.
I sometimes think it were bust and man were lit-
tle to blame
Should he pass on his silent way nor mix with
the noisy shame.
R. W. Gilder.

The Joltbernowla at home again were Kind awhile to rent.
"One only ban to icad" Maid Hans "to learn that home in leM.
Why the little wooden roliina that make our orchard ring
Know a music clearer nweeter. than (hone nocklnK llrd conld tlac.
And the little wooden daisies in our painted mendowa green
Are nicer far than Riant blooms in tropic forests Keen.
8o now let's go a-Ma ing. We will gather Hon era fair.
And we'll vote to vlioone a May Queen to wear them in her hair."
So they aeamnered through the meadowa and gathered heap of floweri
Ate their lunch beneath the poplara and eacaped aome tricksy ahowers.
For had not a big umbrella been aupplled by Matter Hoe
They had all gone home at evening a much bedraggled flock.
When the rain had stopped the party once again began to play.
'Twaa the quiet little Teaaa who waa choaen Qneen of May.
So they crowned her head with daiaiea. and they made a tall maypole.
Around which joining handa. the rent played many an antic droll.
But while they danced a jolly cow that in that field abode
The ainging and the dancing heard and atralght to join them atrode.
But her mannera were ao lively and her horna they were ao atrong
That the Jobbernowls no fancy had the Maying to prolong.
Oh the party aklpped and acampered In a much excited way.
And poor Teaaa got an awful fall although the Queen of May.
he loat her ataff of daiaiea and her garlanda and her crown.
And the cow ate up the flowers and then kicked the maypole down.
A Funny Old Trick
: A popular old trick consists In plac-
ing an apple or a handkerchief on the
back of a chair and then placing the
knees on the back legs and the bands
on each side at the top of the back
making the attempt to pick up the ap-
STEADY MWl
pie or handkerchief with the mouth.
The chances are that the first few
times you try to reach the object on
the chair back you will tumble forward
and get a bumped nose for your trou-
ble. The thing to remember Is to keep
the greater part of your weight or the
center of gravity back of the seat of
the chair. By carefully crouching and
pushing the legs back you can do this.
Chicago Record
What Mamma Would Do.
"Mamma what would you do if that
big vase in the parlor should get
broken?" said Tommy.
"I should spank whoever did It" said
Mrs. Banks gazing severely at her
little son.
"Well then you'd better begin to
get up your muscle" said Tommy glee-
fully "coz papa's broken it."
A Song of Clothespins.
Sing a son? of clothespins
Out upon the line.
Holding fast the flapping clothes
In the bright 6unshine!
Heads together nodding.
Eager every face.
Whispering while slender feet
Hold the clothes in place.
6ing a song of clothespins.
Dropping one tijr one
In the clothespin basket
When their work is done.
Do you think when Mary
Drops them there they stay
Dozing in the basket
Till next washing day?
Eing a song of clothespins
Standing stiff and straight;
While we make their wigs and gowns
They can hardly waitl
Then we play the whole week through-
Theater dinner ball.
Going to wooden weddings
Is the greatest fun of all!
Sing a song of clothespins
Monday morn asleep;
Not because they're stupid;
'Tis the hours they keep.
Wake them gently whispering.
Soon upon the line.
Bee they hold the clothes again
In the bright sunshine I
Mary White in St. Nichola
When the Minister Comes to Tea.
Oh they've swept the parlor carpet and they've
dusted every chair
And they've got the tidies hangin jest exactly on
the square.
And the whatnot's fixed up lovely and the mats
have all been beat.
And the pantry's brimmin over with the bully
things tcr eat!
Bis has got her Sunday dress on and she's frizzin
up her bangs;
Ma's got on her best alpacky and she's askin how
it Imns;
Ta fias shaved as slick as can be and I'm rigged
way up in G
And it's all because we're goin tcr have the min-
ister ter tea.
Oh the table's fixed up gaudy with the gilt edged
chiny set.
And we'll use the silver teapot and the comp'ny
spoons you bell
And we're goin ter have some fruit cake and some
thimblebcrry jam
And "riz biscuits" and some doughnuts and some
chicken and some ham!
Ma she'll 'pologize like fury and say everything
is bad
And "sich awful luck with' cookin" she is sure
she nnver had;
But er course she's only bluffin for it's as prime
as it can be
And she's only talkin that way 'cause the niinif
tor's ter tea.
Everybody'll be a-smilin and as good as ever
wuz.
Pa won't prowl about the vittles like he gener-
ally does.
And he'll ask me would I like another piece er
pie but sho!
That w course is only manners and I'm s'posed
ter answer. "So."
Sis'll talk about the church work and about the
Sunday school
Ma'll tell how she liked that sermon that wux on
the golden rule.
And if 1 upset my tumbler they won't say a word
ter tne.
Tes a boy can eat in comfort with the minister
ter tea!
Say! A minister you'd reckon never'd say what
wasn't true
But that isn't so with ours and I jest can prove
it too;
'Cause when Sis plays dn the organ so it makes
you want ter die.
Why he sets and says it's lovely and that seems
ter me 's a lie!
But I like him all the samey and 1 only wish he'd
stay
At our house for good and always and eat with
us every day;
Only think of havin goodies every evenin! Jim-
mineet
And I'd never git a scoldin with the minister ter
tea!
Joe Lincoln.
Our Country.
Our country. 'Tis a glorious land!
With broad arms stretched from shore to
shore ;
The proud Pacific chafes her strand.
She hears the dark Atlantic roar
And nurtured on her ample breast
How many a goodly prospect lies
In nature's wildest grandeur drest
Enamel'd with her loveliest dyes.
Rich Drairies decked with flowers of gold
Like sunlit oceans roll afar;
Broad lakes her azure heavens behold
Reflecting clear each trembling star.
And mighty rivers mountain born.
Go sweeping onward dark and deep
Through forests where the bounding fawn
Beneath their sheltering branches leap.
And cradled mid her clustering hills.
Sweet vales iu dreamlike beauty hide.
Where love the air with music fills
And calm content and peace abide.
For plenty here her fullness pours
In rich profusion o'er the land.
And sent to seize her generous store.
There prowls no tyrant's hireling band.
Great God! We thank thee for this home
This bounteous birth land of the free.
Where wanderers from afar may come
And breathe the air of liberty.
Still may her flowers untrampled spring
Her harvests wave her cities rise.
And yet till time shall fold his wing
Remain earth's loveliest paradise.
A Man's Ideal.
A lovely little keeper of the home
Absorbed in menu books yet erudite
When 1 need counsel. Quick at repartee
And slow to anger. Modest as a flower.
Yet scintillant and radiant as a star.
TJnmercenary in her mold of mind.
While opulent and dainty in her tastes
A nature generous and free albeit
The incarnation of economy.
She must be chaste as proud Diana was
Yet warm as Venus. To all others cold.
As some white glacier glittering in the sun;
To me as ardent as the sensuous rose
That yields its sweetness to the burrowing bee.
All ignorant of evil in the world
And innocent as any cloistered nun
Yet wise as Phryne in the arts of love
When I come thirsting to her nectared lips.
Clothed to the pretty lobe of her pink ears
For other eyes alway; for mine alone
The feast of sculptured throat and breasts of
snow
Gleaming through billows of seductive lace.
Good as the best and tempting as the worst
A saint a siren and a paradox.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Smart Set.
The Dad Boy. '
His Lair is red and tangled and he has a turned
up nose;
His voice is loud and strident and it never gets
repose ;
His face is full of freckles nd his ears are shaped
like fius.
And a large front tooth is missing as you'll no-
tice when he grins;
He is like a comic picture from his toes up to
his head
But bis mother calls hira "darling" when she
tucks him into bed.
It is he who marks the carpet with the print of
muddy boots
And rejoices in a doorbell that is pulled out by
the roots
Who whistles on his fingers till he almost splits
j our ear
And shocks the various callers with the slang he
chanced to hear;
lie fills the house with tumult and the neighbor-
hood with dread
But his mother calls him "darling" when she
tucks him into bed.
Washington Star.
Brief as the lightning in the collied night
That in a spleen unfolds both heaven and earth
And ere a man hath power to say. Behold!
The jaws of darkness do devour it up;
So quick bright things come to confusion.
Shakespeare.
