A potato went out Cd a mash,
And sought an onion bed;
THAT'S net for mel" observed th
squash,
And all the heets turned red;
go way the onion, weeping, cried,
your love l cannot be;
The pumpkin be your lawful bride;
You cantelope with me-"
But onward sti1 the tuber came,
And laid down at her feet;
You caullfower by any name
And IL will smell as wheat;
And 1. too. am an early rose;
And you I've come 70 see;
So don't turn up your lovely nose.
But spinachat with me-
Il DO not carrot all TO wed.
So go, sir, If you please"
The modest onion meekly said,
"And lettuce. pray, have peas.
Go, think that you have never seen
Myself. or smelled my sigh;
Too long a maiden l have been
For favors In your rye"
"Ah. spare a cusss' the tuher prayed;
"My cherryshfd bride you'll be.
You are the only weeping maid
That's currant now with me"
And as the willy tuber spoke.
He caught her by surprise,
And giving her an artichoke,
Devoured her with his eyes.

make money even in the best years.
The average crop Of corn IN this cOun-
try IS only twenty-four bushels 10 the
acre, and the average crop Of wheat
One-half this. The average COW makes
less than 100 pounds Of butter IN a
year. and the average hen lays but
three dozen eggs IN t.-clve months, and
all Of these at times when prices are
lowest

 The following patriotic resolution was of fered by Mrs. A. Livingston Mason, of Rhode Island, and forwarded to each state organization, with every assurance by the delegates and alternates of immediate and unanimous adoption:
 Resolved, That We appoint a suitable committee to organize a national sanitary committee with branches in every state in the union, whose duty it shall be to earnestly cooperate in all measures to pro- vide necessaries and comforts for our army and navy, and for sufferers in any great disaster, and to alleviate the distress and anxieties of their families, and by every means in it's power to promote brave submission to the will of our Heavenly Father and the decrees of our temporal rulers.
 That each state committee should re- ceive the sanction of the governor of it's state and may be permitted to associate with it among its members and upon its advisory board such men and women as it may require to render efficient service and also that the national committee shall place itself under the orders of the sur geon-generals of our army and navy. That copy of these resolutions be submitted to the president of the United States, ask ing for his authorization and approval of this acton.''

 "No," the weeping maiden replied, ''it was nothing that he did. Oh, am so mortified that I shall never dare to speak to him again."

 "Tell me all, Gladys. Tell me what you have did to make you feel so badly"
 "Ah," the poor girl sobbed, "it was noth- ing that did. It breaks my heart to have to tell you so. But you, mamma, are the one who is to blame.

Mrs. George B. Eager
 And the No Name Club

As is well known to all women familiar with the club movement in Alabama, Mrs. George B. Eager of Montgomery, is presi- dent of the State Federation of Womens 3 clubs. Mrs. Eager has accomplished great good in her responsible position, and has been tireless in her efforts to advance the women's club interests in the most help fu and inspiring way.
 The reelection of her successor occurs at the fourth annual convention of the state federation which will meet early in May. at Selma. Were Mrs. Eager to consent to a renominaton, she would be unanimous ly and enthusiastically reelected to her present position. This matter has already been discussed by several clubs-all deslr- ing to retain Mrs Eager if possible, as president of the state federation. The fol- lowing letter has been received from Montgomery, which tells of pretty incl dent which occurred few days ago, at the meeting of the 'No Name club of that city: An incident occurred at the latest meeting of the No Name club, which beautifully illustrated the spirit of con- secration to a noble cause. Mrs. Eager is member of this club, and is also president of the Alabama Federation Of Women s. clubs A statement was made by mem- Der of the executive committee that many requests had been received asking to have Mrs. Eager renomnated as president of the federation even against her frequently ex- pressed determination not to serve agan It was hoped that persistence might per- suade her to yield, and at any rate 1t was decided to compliment her with re- nomination at the Selma meeting In May.
 Mrs. Eager arose in reply, and express ing cordial appreciation of the honor. and kindliness, stated that it was impossible for her to be persuaded. since the of1ce would interfere with more important du- ties and she did not wish the compliment for herself whom it could not benefit, but that she desired very much that her sue cessor, whoever she might be, should be honored with a first nomination, for the compliment would be an inspiration and encouragement to her in her new duties. Mrs. Eager added: "I wish to serve my successor and to serve the cause" Inn mediately a member arose and said "The No Name club is justly proud of Mrs. Eager: she puts in her work what is the grace and crown of woman's endeavor- self-effacement."
