A SUMMER IDYL.
See the frog, the Shiny green frog,
Doing away on that old rotten log,
Seriously wondering
What caused the sundenng
OF the tail that he wore when wee pollywog.
See the boy. the freckled schoolboy
Famed for cussedness, tree from alloy,
Watching the frog
Perched on a log,
With feelings akin to tumultuous joy,
See the rock the hard ilnly rock,
Which the freCkled faced boy at the frog doth
SOCK
Conscious he's SHINING,
Yet gleefully grinning
At the likely result of its terrible shock.
See the grass, the treacherous grass,
Slip from beneath his feet! Alas
Into the mud
With Il duh thud,
He falls and rises Shiny mass.
Now, see the frog, the hilarious frog,
Dancing jig on his old rotten log,
Applying his toes
To his broad, blunt nose,
AS he laughs at the boy stuck fast in the bog.
Look dt the switch, the hickory switch,
When his mother knows
The state of his clothes.
Won't he raise his voice TO its highest pitch!
Well, should smile-a snickerlng smile,
Ills anguish Will circulate over mile.
And the next slimy frog
lie percelyes on log
VIII be given rest IN magnificent style.

Poor DefenseIess Woman About 10 Turn
and Rend Her Accusers.
From the sterner sex, and from the sterner
members Of her own sex, poor dcfenseless
woman has received an enormous amount of
reviling for her corsets, her high heels her
bustles, her tight Shoes and the thousand
and one other things which she imagnes
makes her more charming. Tho Modern
Age says: All this she has endured up
to the present, and with sanity patience,
but at last even the worm brought to bay will
turn and rend his accusers. And the pecu-
liar thing about it is that she seems to
have some reason on her side. She tells her
critics to remove first the beam from their
own eyes, and then they will be better quail
fled to judge of the size of the mote which is
obscuring their sisters vision. Her first
point of attack is tho starched shirt-front.
This we surrender at once. Aud so on until
VIC are reduced almost to the condition which
Eve succeeded in making improper for Adam
to appear in on the day when that wretched
couple indulged too unrestrainedly in q vege-
tartan dict. Then il was that woman first
provoked the dress discussion, and it has re-
mained with her fruitful topic ever since.
