Spring Bards ..tnrned Loose. !,

spring BardH "tMfned Loose"
Spring poetry is beginning TO roll !
in. Most of it is low-grade and home- "
made, and if published would cause
the snow to go off with rush, with !
disastrous consequences. 1t would be
a mighty cold day when snow wouldn't
melt with specimen of the average
spring poetry spread broadcast. And
to be forced to read one Of these
verdant illusions would cause a wall
of woe to flow from the very depths
of the soul of the hardest formation,
and make man weep and wish that
he had never been born, and he would
want to lie down and die, and it is
our honest opinion that many deaths
are the indirect result Of spring po-
etry taken in too large doses, and
how the poets themselves manage to
hang on to life after pouring out of
their systems such vast amounts of
: the divine efflatus, is one of the mys-
: teries Of this scientific age yet to be
! solved. Some constitutions are tre-
mendously tough. Spring poetry
causes instant death if not well shak-
en- before taken, taken in small doses,
and one dose day, in the morning
!. before breakfast, and then fresh ali
y and violent exercise must be taken.
Pounce on the poet If he can be
. found. This will give immediate re

we can recall. No case was brought
to trial. All civil cases compromised.

postponed till next term, for the rea
son that two or three witnesses were
out of the county, and their exac
