Fetters of gold in dreamy land bound me
And halos of bliss circled wildly around me-
Fair as the dawn was the editors daughter

Carameis, ice cream and soda bought her.
For my heart was wrapped up in the editors
daughter.
Ny passion gushed forth in swinburnian stan
zas,
Sonnets and rondeaus and extrayaganzas:
And visions revealed how as proud as a kaizer
I'd own half the stock of her dads Aduertiser.
Winning and sweet was the editors daugh-

How oft in the shadows of ofevening sought

To whisper my love to the editors daugh-

'em,
And sent my proposal in verse to her sanctum:
But her answer dissolved all my thoughts into

SOME CARVING PUZZLES.
The Number OF Parts Into Which Various
Fowls May be Cut.

The Number OF Parts Into Which Various
Fowls May be Cut.
A waiter in downtown restaurant be-
came communicative to some of his late
customers the other night and discoursed on
a problem in division which is of particular
interest at this season of the year-the
division of turkey by the knife of a
carver. The waiter had seen a carving
tournament in Paris, and he spoke as an
authority, says the New York Times. How
many good-size6 portions, he asked, could
be cut from turkey of IL pounds weight =?
None of his hearers could solve the
problem, and so he had to answer his
own question. His dictum was that 10
portions in family practice and Is in
restaurants could be obtained by
skillful operator. In other words, the man
at family dinner is entitled to 30 per cent
more turkey than is the one who risks his
digestive apparatus in a restaurant. Bach
elors who are invited out to dine on Christ
mas Day should bear this fact in mind, pro-
vided, of course, that turkey is to them the
thing of joy 1t ought to be to all good
Americans.
The waiter gave another hint on carving,
again putting it in the form of a ouerv:
What is the hardest bird to carve? At the
tournament one chef wagered that he could
turn out tour symmetrical pieces from anv
bird. Another chef took the bet and pro-
duced a guinea hen. He won, too, for the
first chef could do nothing with his subject.
Guinea hens" explained the narrator,
'ain't built like other birds"
