more about Africa or Australia than
they need know and not enough
about their own country especially
about their immediate neighborhood

about foreign cities and faraway

pride to know all about the town in

seIlna,s Escape.

Selma had a little pig,
But her folks in Allegheny
Had dog, aud thought a hog
Would be one pet too many.
So they, one day, that pig did slay,
And ground it fine TO eat;
And when thus prepared her Pa declared
He never sausage meat
But they could not make the maid partake
OF her piglet, though they tried;
And twas thus Selma escaped trichina,
From which her parents died.
