While the talk of an extra session
has died out, it is to be hoped that if
such a thing as an extra session
ever does occur it will take steps
for the purpose Of bringing on a SEES
sion to devise means TO protect our
citizens against fleas-the wicked flea
whom no man pursueth with anyprofit
to himself. For the excursion season is
at hand and the California people will
come from Santa Clara and from San
Diego and the uttermost parts of San
Francisco, bearing their fleas with
them. Already the flea has obtained
foothold on Bellingham bay; our
singing singers are already sounding
an alarm in the anthem, Flea is a
Bird in the Mountain" but it is by
deeds rather than by words that the
invader is to be driven back. 1t is
true that singing will drive away
almost anything if it is bad enough,
but we must resort TO surer methods.

lists.

Don't try TO hold him-just hang
on, cried my friend, as I shot past him;
and gave myself up to that task as
well as 1 could, for he had me pretty
well frightened. On he went through
the woods, Just missing a great syca-

other, crashing into and over heap of
brush or the top of fallen tree, plung-
ing into wide creeks and leaping over
narrow ones, till 1 thought my end was
come. But I couldn't let go. My only
hope was that he would let up after
awhile and give me a chance to get
away. One-half of my shoe was ripped
from my foot and the half of my coat
had gone to keep it company. My hands
and face were scratched and bleeding,
but led the chase, and led it easily.

myself: Now have got him But

right at that fence, but he seemed to

away harder than ever, for 1 felt if he
undertook to jump that fence he
would kill himself and me, too. But
he didn't try to go over it; he Just
went through it. He went right at it
with n rush, threw his fore legs high
enough to get them over the top-and
that settled the fence. Down it came

out and went on without losing a min

That was a cotton field. 1t was
rank and tall, and the bolls whipped
me in the face, and the strong stalks

was down and we went out all right.

Oil well l remember the spring meath the
bccches,
How, bubbIins with GOODNESS, its waters it
pour'd,
Adown by the spring house, where hung that
best treasure,
That friend of my childhood the long handled
gourd
That gourd was the best Of dozen my mother
Had raised on a vine, At the back OF the yard,
And she soaked it, and boiled it, and scraped
it, and sunnedi il,
Till twas smooth as a filbert, and almost as
hard
And. when It was cleaned, she went down to
the spring house,
And there driving up large nail in the wall,
She hung the gourd on It, and for years it re-
manned there,
y JOY to the thirsty ana a blessing To all
All! well I remember how I'd eagerly seize it,
When, burning with thirst, would rush TO
the spring,
And dipping it full of cold water, would drink
It
With pleasure that no other bcv'rage can
bring.
The nectar the gods used to sip was not bitter.
And no cordial or wine, by sybarite pOur'd
Into goblets OF silver, could equal in sweetness
The water drank from that long-handled
gourd.
And the poet who wrote Of The Old oaken
Bucket"
And the pleasure a drink from its depths
used 10 bring,
Would have written a much nicer piece 10 its
mem'ry,
Had he drank from the ng-handled gourd at
the spring.
