Here they come this wayl Queen
Flora and her flowers rare and sweet,
FROM tiny Violet to Asthetica who
SAYS of her choice:
lehoosc 1t. though for more aesthetic causes
And keep lots in my yases-I mean yawses"
anu further says:
There nothing so aesthetic as sunflowers"
Bat all their fnvorites are doomed
to die from the attacks OF monster
foes unless help arrives, and as there
was time when
I'VE might ask Jack the Giant Killer strong
Time was when he could right a wrong"
but now
I'm dull disuse his sword is laid away
And he himself retired upon half pay
all AID must come from the brownies,
"Those little elves so shy
They never yet We're seen by mortal Cye
Whose harmless pranks both young and old
delight
And whose strange power vanlshes with night
by happy chance the Brownie
balloon comes floating by and their
sad misfortune OF the bursting of the
balloon is the good for tune Of the
fairies for now they come:
'Tlere's the caletwho seems so full of pride,
And there's the Chinaman just at his side"
'Ille student who with knowledge is imbued"
ftis eess N! ta pa ye d 5ne SO long
With eyeglasses and with cane so strong,
And clothes of such tailor make
They cause my heart to throb and ache
But some are III ssing-the twins
are not here. One fell from the
balloon and his brother leaped out too.
AS the poet says:
III. Like Jack and Jill they went below,
The same misllaps to undergo"
A genuine Russian nihilist-a bomb
in either hand-tells why he
with the band will now be off
Yours AS ever. katchakOff''
The Eskimo is also here
'.FrOm that region far away
+ Where explorers 90 to stay"
Dennis ORourke is here not because
OF j Dining the police or to be an alder
man from the 4th ward of Cresco
but bekase Ord strong obilckshuns
Whtn 1t came to payin' rfnt''
Wagner Won Strauss is here to stay
"unt gary trOmpOne or trum
Der play me In some band"
Ching Lee had rival in Wah Sing
whom Uncle Sam tried to keep out
But Chinanan too cutee-him a velly
clunnin lace;
You stoppce him one sidee, he comee In some
John Bull is here to try
% ~. ind out what old England lost
Through that high tax on tea"
And Uncle Sam thinks
There's not Il land in all creation
That pleaSeS me- vow
Like this same independent nation
In which we're living now
Prince Aldeberan for the first time
meets Queen Flora and Cholly
Boutonnierre meets Asthetica with
results which impel Chauncey
Quoter to remark
"All woman, woman
The moon at full has less to do
With making lunatics than yOu.'
Cholly and Aesthetica are evidently
different from others of their kind, AS
they sing
II was different from other little girls
was different from other little boys,
Browning''s verses were to me as plain as A D
! was fonder of an eye-glass than my toys
On had a mind for pure and lofty things
All my hopes upon society were set
And the whichnesS of the why
could solve and half not try
But music and pleasure must give
way to bloody war. Just before the
battle the lost twins appear in the
guise of an Italian and his bear,
George Washington, whose name
should be changed to Brigham Young.
King Cole, the old woman who
sweeps the cobwebs from the sky,
and Simple Simon, educated in the
| Cresco schools, next claim our atten-
ton.
The Brownies devise the scheme OF
building tank to ship the awful enc.
my to people in distant lands, but
Major Telloff makes the sage remark
that it is one thing to make cage
and another to catch the bird. Then
follow other plans.
Afraid-of-the-Day's plan is
..Creepee on, look every side
4 Behind big tree um dodge and hide
| Then hee! hee! hee! UNI shout and leap
And use UNI tolnallawk u heap.
Patrolman Moveon thinks
Zone of the. finest out to know
The way to best run in a foe"
Cauncy Quoter sums up the matte
as follows:
The prOudest words one can repeat
May but fOrernn his worst defeat"
J The Brownies are first routed anc
then triumph, catching the dreadful
, insects in net.
Prince Aldeberan and the Queen
Cholly and Asthetica are no,
happily united and without q care
whereat the Poet says:
No mather what the plot or cast
, The good must triumph at the last"
