look back,
And cast tbs mild eye over progress
hot track,
From the maidens that were to the
maidens that be,
Oh, weeping Jerusalem, what would he
see?
The maiden who sang by her wheel at
the door
Isn't running that kind of a wheel any
more;
She spiuneth not flax by the cottage
door neat;
She StrdddleS the W heel. and goes 1Ortn
on the street
The girl with the wheel in the good
Quaker's day,
Calm, quiet and modest, was spinning
away
Where the cool flowers flowed, and the
light zaphyrs fair
Blew the truant locks loose that nad
strayed from her hair.
And her manner was tranquil, her skin
lily white.
And her gown it was clean, and her
speech was polite,
In shOr5, this fair maiden, the wheel
who possessed,
Was pattern of modesty, GOODNESS and
rest.
The girl with the wheel at the presen
goes out,
Without any weak hesitation or doubt,
And in dirt, and 10 dust, persplratlOn
aud heat,
She pushes her way 'mong the teams
on the street.
She has large baggy trousers, no both
ersome skirt,
A manly cravat, and coat and
shirt,
And her face becomes red as she on
ward doth pillow,
And the hot preparation stands forth
on her brown.
Shades of our grandmothers! Look
DER the tide.
Think of your spinning, the cottage
beside.
Then look at these boomers, this shirt
and cravat,
Shades of our ancestors: Where are
we at?

Somebody played sinking trick on
the Big Kid at the fire department
last night that caused him to raise up
early this morning in deep wrath.
The Kid went to bed early last night,
and ''Dan' the fire dog always sleeps
with him. Sometime during the night
some one whistled to Dan. When Dan
returned to the KIDS bed he had a
sack half filed with Llmburger
cheese tied around his neck. Dan did cot
like the smell of the cheese, but as he
couldn' t shake the sacd, nor wake the
Kid up be began jumping on the other
tiremen's beds to see il s)me one else
would take the sack from around his
neck, but just as soon as he woke one of
the other ii &c men up al the satisfaction
he would receive was a slap. He then
crawled back into the KIDS bed and
the Kid stood the stencil until 4:3O this
when he arose and h"ed Dan
out of the door, but when he found out
what was the matter he gently arose
and dropped himself down The pole and
has been seeking the party who tied
the cheese around Dams neck ever
since.
