FLOWING UP A SPACE

The country is beautifully watered.
Every half mile you cross a crystal
branch or find a cool, delicious spring
by the roadside. Bees do well here, max
ing honey all the day and foolishly
acquiring much more than they need,
never dividing it with those who are
needy, showing through life great irrita-
bility Of temper and finally dying miser
ably in the midst Of plenty, like the
founder of a trust. think that the bee
and the prairie dog are both greatly over

Peaches, cherries, apples, grapes and
small fruits grow well about here. 1t is
very popular however, as an all the
year round climate for those who need
tonicity In winter the northern people
are here, for it is like delightful Indian
summer most all through the winter.
Then in summer the naughty southron
comes and breathes the cool, crisp air
during his vacation.
Insect life here lis prosperous and
blithesome. Mosquitoes do not flourish
here at all for some reason, and flies are
not so plenty as they are in the north,
but the woodtick, the digger" or chigre,
the black hornet, the spider and other
non-vertebrates do well. The bed insect
also grows to a great height and attains
n wonderful age. Some Of the best blood

The Boastfu1 Pumpkin.

A pumpkin which was growing in the
midst of field Of corn got the bighead
one day and began Dragging itself up.
81 am not only a fine vegetable to looR
at" observed the pumpkin with com.
placency, "but am nourishment for
both man and beast. Made into pie
am welcomed all over America, and
even kings have condescended TO eat me.
AS food for the bovine tribe nothing can
take my place. In fine, take 1t all
around, the world could not do with
ont me-"
Just then the owner of the field and
his hired man happened along, and the
owner caught sight Of the pumpkin and
called out:
Here, Bill, this thing is taking up
room wanted by the corn. Root it up
and throw it over the fencel"

The Trrepressible Boy.
He worried the cat
Ho played rat-tat-tat
On the window panes, fully an hour by the
clock;
He tried roller skates
Where dishes and plates
In jeopardy lay, till some fell with shock.
With an Indian yell
On tho dolls house he fell,
And added that poor dolly's scalp TO bis belt;
Then knocked off its toes,
And Its fair Grecian nose
Which same was OF wax-he proceeded to melt.
Two tubs he upset,
without one regret;
He stood on his head Till his face turned sky
blue
A curtain he tore,
And then sighed for more
Invcntively miscbievous things he might do.
He hid granny's "specs"-
But that didn't vex;
Her face frightened up with his fun and hi'
noise.
"One sweet kiss repaid
For alli" 10 she said,
Resignedly adding that boys will be boysi"
But strangest Of ell,
At nights quiet fall,
How meekly, how placidly this rogue would

Good night, papa, dearl
