Three little words you often see

A nouns the name OF anything,
AS school or garden, hoop or sw
Adjectives tell the kind OF noun.
As great, small pretty, white. or brown ,
Instead of nouns the prononns stand
His head, her face, your arm, my hand
Verbs tell something to be done
To read, count, laugh, sing, jump, or run.
How things are done the adgorbs tell,

Conjunctions join tn, words together
AS men and " omen, wind and weather

The noun as in, or through, the door,

The Cockroach and What He Likes.


Wherever it came from, the cocluoach
is true Anglo-SaXon in its capacity for
colonization. In Britain il has estab-
hshed itself all over the length and
breadth of the land but is chiefly, if not
altogether, confined to houses, inhabiting
Kitchens, sculleries, balIehouses and such
like places, where plenty of food can be
obtained. Nothing that Is edible and
many things that are not usually con-
sidered edible) comes amiss to this vOrac-
ious animal, than whom IL would be diff
fieult to find n more omnivorous creature.
In addition to almost every article of
human food, such apparently unpalata-
bic objects as wooden garments, the greasy
rags used in cleaning steam-cngincs and
other machinery, shoes and other articles
of leather, and even books and paper,
enter into its bill of fare. In warehouses
and on board ship the raVages il commits
are great, whole barrels and sacks of
flour, corn, rice and other articles of
like nature being sometimes consumed
by it. Among other things, cinnamon
is said TO possess great attractions for
the coclSroach palate, and there is u
scandal to the effect that those whose
business it is to reduce the cinnamon
sticks to powder are not very careful
to separate the spice from the insects
which sometimes constitute nearly half
the contents of the bags-but tumble
them together into the mill. Though
to its other crimes the coclIroach does
not apparently add that Of cannibalism,
the cast skins and the interior of the
egg capsules are said to be eaten by them,
and other insects are occasionally de-
voured Among the latter is said to be
the common bedbug, which, If true, is u
point in favor of the coclSroach.

Mr.. Dunlap chucklcd
The old woman takes it rather hard,

and justice is justiee.n
So the great Dunlap fortune melted

The oilicious relations vanished as il
by magic, the villagers whispered and
stood aloof, but Adam Steele was true
as his own name.
Mother said he, gently, to the
broken-hcarted little widow, there's
room all ready for you at my house.
Jane and | were married this morning.
We want you to come and live with us.
You'll he welcome as flowers in May
But Adam, I've behaved awful bad
to YOU" faltercd Mrs. Dunlap.
That's nothing said Adam cheer
fully. We're all liable TO mistakes at

But you are rich,n said Adam.
You've got Jane and you've got me.
And I'll guarantee you plenty of clothes

have than that?"
And Mrs Dunlap was forced to admit
that her son-in-law was not far from
right.
