IT seems almost incredible that an
elephant has 10000 muscles in his
trunk but after a man has experienced
an elephants gentle twist about his
system and been thrown the whole

candy stand into the lemonade tub, he
will be willing to take oath that there

Indeedl Then perhaps you never heard
that: There once was a miser, who
lived by a geyser, on fast-rolling Iser,
and married Elizer, and tried to advise
her that no early riser would ever de-
spise her, but rather would prize her, if
early she hies her to kitchen and fries

THERE is man up in New Hampshire
who doesn't earn such a great sight Of
money, but who has o mania for joining
every secret society that viii permit his
membership. The initiation and other
fees take a good portion of his money,
besides which he is at some lodge meet
ing every evening, which greatly exas-
perates his wife. The Manchester
Mirror quotes the following as one of
the outbursts of this afflicted woman,
made when she was comparatively cool
and calm: 4" Jine! He'd jine any thing.
There can't nothing come along that's
dark and sly and hidden, but he'll iine
it. If any body should get up asoeiety
to burn his house down, he'd jine it Just
as soon as he could get in, and if he had
to pay to get in he'd go all the sud-
dener." .,,... .
To A PLATE OF HASH
Inseruteblel Though sgbtler than the sphinx,
Thou hast no inspiration for the hind;
The dullard deals with thee nor ever thinks
To ask thee for the food that feeds the mind.
But for the poet, seeking tInth, thou art
A lofty ideal and doubt supreme;
A wonder a delight, a thing apart tfH
The changeful fringe of an illusive dream.
The soul that is attuned to ideal things,
Beholding thee, a fairy grOtto sees.
Though dOst uplift Imaginationis wings
And Fancy revelleth in thy mysteries.
o hashl thou hidest from thy votary's sight
More secrets than are wrapped in death and
night
