THE pERyERsE soNGsrER.

THE PERyERSE SONGSTER.
When the clover blooms flip the rabbits
nose,
And the hand Of the summer shakes open
the rose,
And the cuckoo to visit the willow-tree goes,
What d sad note is it
From the little tom-tit
AS he mournfully sings to the world his
woes:
"Phee-be-ee; ah, me!
How can one be happy, and live in a tree 90
When the rabbit leaps, mp to his ears in
SlOW,
And the putting cheeks of the North Wind
blow,
And the wilow-tree rattles her fingers in
woe,
Who cares not whit?
IT'S the little tom-tit
AS he cheerlly calls to the world below:
"Chicadee Look at me!
There's nothing so fine this life in tree!"
| W. o. McCleiland.

Two Pictures.

The sun was shining calm and bright,
The meadow grass was deep;
The daisies and the buttercups
Were nodding half asleep.
And overhead the sparrow sat
And dozed upon the bough,
For all the world was sleepy then,
When Johnny drove the COW.
The sun was like flaming beast!
The field was like the sea!
The grass, like angry snakes, did hiss
And wriggle at his knee.
The sparrows turned to goblin imps
That yelled, and t1uttere6 on,
AS though world gone raving mad,
The COW was driving John.

Spring Songs.

From the May number of St. Nicholas.
THE SONG OF THE SKIPPING-RoPE.
Winter time has fled away,
Spring has had her gentle sway,
Summer surely must be near
When the sklpping-ropes appear;
With skip, skip,
And trip, trip,
Al we rise and fall
In yard and street
The little feet
Are coming to the call
Oh, so many tricks to do
That our mothers also knew
ia the Front Door, Baking Bread"
"Chase the Fox" and Needle Thread.
With a skip, skip,
And a trip, trip
For so the leader saith
With a hop, jump,
And a thump, thump,
Until your out of breath.
Hear the counting, sure and slow;
To a hundred icy must go.
Not hand Or arm should swerve,
While the rope describes its curve;
With skip, skip,
And a trip, trip,
ntil the task is done;
With cheeks so red,
And rutfled head,
Bravo, my little one!
Boys may leap and vault so high,
But none was ever known to try
To master this soft, little spring
That is so intricate thing
With skip, skip,
A nd a trip, trip,
Oh, may | always hear
That pit pat-plt
That seems to lit
This blossom-time of year,
| Anna B. Patten.
A MAYDAY SHOWER.
Birds are singing,
Bells are ringing,
Children bringing
Garlands fair;
Maids are scorning
Clouds of warning;
Gay adjoining
On May morning
Girls will wear.
Rain is falling,
Hearts appalling;
Some ones calling,
"Homeward skip"
Isabella's, Ruth's and Elias,
Maud's and Stellas
Wet umbrellas
How they drip!
Chat and feather,
Altogether
Spoiled by weather."
Ruth bemoans
Dress and frilhng,
Sash and quilting,
All so killing,
Maud, unwilling,
"Ruined!" owns.
Hey day. Hey day!
Choose NO May-Day
For rlay-day
Out of DOORS
Or, prepare ye;
New gear spare ye;
Old clothes wear ye
Never care We
When it pours.

NEW PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR
DR.. Fowler of a Cedar Rapids, Iowa,
Church
Resigned His Pastorate There to Accept the
Pulpit of the Central Presbyterian
Church of This City

DIR. Fowler of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, has
resigned his position as pastor of the Sec
ond Presbyterian church to accept the pull
pit of the Central Presbyterian church of
this city. The doctor will preach his first
sermon to his new congregation at Y. M.
e. A. hall next Sunday.
DR.. Fowler has been connected with the
Second church of Cedar Rapids for the
past ten years. During that time he has
built up from a small congregation of 259
members an organization of more than
twice that number, His long and faithful
service in that field has endeared him not
alone to his followers, but to everyone in
the city who knew him. The announce
ment of his intended departure brought re-
gret to the hearts of all his parishioners.
The Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette con-
tains the following concerning the pastor
The Gazette and the people of Cedar
Rapids will greatly regret that the health
of his family compels DR.. Fowler to re-
move from the scene of such profitable
labor in order to find climate that may
lengthen the lives of those who are near to
him. No man among us is more univer-
sally respected, and his flock is attached to
him and he to his flock by the strongest
ties. He has done great work in the
Second church and that he changes the
scenes of his labors will not interfere with
his efforts for the lifting up of humanity.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2.-Red Root and
Cracker Jack, backed from 100 to l off
the boards, very nearly furnished two tre-
mendous sensations at the Bay district to-
day, but they had to be content with
second money, although both appeared to
be winning at one time. Yankee Doodle
was the only winning favorite, second
choices and an outsider dividing honors.
Starter Ferguson was in very poor form
again today. In the fourth race he sent
the horses off in two separate divisions,
one bunch being ten lengths behind
the leaders and for a time it
looked as if two races were
being run. Harry Griffin. the crack
jockey who was thrown from Long Lady
yesterday, is in the hospital suffering from
a broken shoulder blade. His injuries will
probably incapacitaIe him for further rid
ing this season.
Green Morris withdrew his string OF eight
horses from the Bay Dis rict track today,
because of alleged unfair rulings against
him.

DR.. Brown was called and answered sew
eral questions relative to his meetings with
hrs. Davidson at his study and what
transpired at the meetings on November
2lst and 22d of last year, when the alleged
extortion took place. DR.. Brown told how,
at his dictation and suggestion, Mrs. Dav-
idson wrote, in his presence, the document
giving the name of the unknown lodging
house keeper. This document DR.. Brown
was to keep as evidence in the event of
Mrs. Davidson's death.
The admission of this paper as evidence
caused, quite a discussion between the
counsel and the court. The defense argued
that the paper should he excluded from
the evidence until after Mrs Davidson had
been proved to be the agent of a black
mailer.
The prosecution argued that the defense
did not have not to show that DR.. Brown
had been guilty of anything wrong, but
that it had to show tha Mrs. Davidson was
not guilty of extortion. and that the paper
was the greatest evidence in the case
against the accused. Judge Campbell
overruled the objection.
This was the only incident of the even
ing which was series of objections by the
defense, most of which were decided in
favor of the prosecution.
The cause will go on next Saturday
morning. In the meantime Mrs. Davidson
will have to remain in prison unless she
can get bail. Judge Campbell refused to
reduce the amount to $1,000.
