was being watered, took q mulish no
ton, capered on, kicking up his heel
aud cutting up all kinds Of antics
known to the mule, but ere he Wa
aware, he got into snow drift which

Mr.. A. C. Wait tackles the poetry
puzzle as follows:
The captain strobe from fore to-aft,
As lOrdly on his simple-raft,
As though 1t were some simple-craft
He shouted, choved and ordered-and
The floating warehouse brought to
land,
Then changing tone from blunt to-
bland,
He cried his cargo. tons Office,
Goals, linens, jewels. apples-rice,
Who'll buy my goods at any-prics
And buyers came, with eye and-ear,
Bought large or little, pearl or-pear,
From book to barrel, spoon to-spear
He sold by inch, he sold by-M,
Sold pillow and screws, sold type and
Sold muslin for a lady's-hem.
Sold pipes Of wine and casks of-ale,
Sold drums and fifes, the camp tO-hale
Sold game from rabbit up to-whale.
Sold fab from salmon down to-eel,
Sold lumber for pencil, and for-creel,
Diohes from silver cup to-skeel.
He cold to scribes, and printers'-inks 9,
Florists from lily-buds to-pinks,
Sold sparrows'cages filed with-spinks
He sold to sketchsrs India-ink,
Sold chains Of gold and many al ink
That blacksmiths forge and teams ters
-clink.
He cold to seedsmen. hemp and-ace,
To millinen sold elk and-lace,
To dentists to pull or-place.
He sold to wear, to drink, to-eat,
He vended cold and trafiicked heat.
The buyers voted him a-cheat
The sale was out, the tide was-in,
The float, renewed by plank and-pin
Again adown the cream did-spin.
