A Laugh In Church.
CPittsburg Times)


She sat on the sliding CUSHION,
The dear. wee woman of four
Her feet. i'm their shiny slippers
HING dangling over the moor -,
CHI meant to be good: she had promlseu'
And SO with her big brown eyes,
Che stared at the meeting-house
And counted the crawling flies.
She looked far up at the preacher,
PM she thought of the honey-pees
Droninr away at the blossoms
That whitened the cherry-rees'
She thought of broken basket
Where. curled in a dusky heap,
Three sleek, round puppies with irihsE
ears
Law Struggled and fast asleep
Such soft. warm bodies to cuddle'
Such queer little hearts 10 beat.
Such swift. round tongues TO KISS,
such spraying, cushiony feet:
She could feel in her clasping fingers
The touch of the satiny SKIN,
And a cold wet nose exploring
The dimples under her chm.
Then sudden ripple of laughter
Ran over the parted lips
So quick that she could not catch ii
With her rosy fnger-ups.
The people whispered: Bless the child,
AS each one walked from nap,
But the dear, wee woman hid her race
For shame in her mothers lap.
