The fisheries imbroglio presents new
phase. American fishermen. owners of
seized vessels. finding that the United
States government will do nothing for
them, are commencing suits against the
parties who seized their vessels, and are
going to fight the cases out IN the courts.
This will probably produce another la

have taken the dispute out of his hands

A PICNIC PROPHECY.

The picnic season now is here,
And the paragraphist
Must furnish up with new veneer
The jets we long have missed.
The young man in the new light "pants"
Will crush the blithe squash pie;
The sandwiches alive With ants
Will make the children cry.
Fond lovers in the forest glade
Their eager love will tell,
When all at once the timid maid
viii see snake and yell.
The man who swings the pretty girls
Will make his shoulders lame;
The dude who tries to row boat
viii wonder why he came.
The thunder storm that ends the fun
VIII crash down prompt at -four;
With startled shrieks the girls will run
And drabbled skirts deplore.
Oh. yes, the picnic seasons here,
And the paragraphist
Win do his duty, never fear
And yet, he'd not be missed.
