THE BACHELOR LEFT Al HOME.
NV COSY home, what queer looking place.
Such a change / never saw 10 my life:
felt like saying Il was disgrace,
But 1t had been whole month without
the Wife
They say my dear bachelor" looked
gloomy and sad.
Ana seemed SO lonely while was away.
No wonder. no wonder he felt so bad
And so anxiously waited my coming TO-
day.
Kerchiefs. collars. matches and papers,
Asnes and cigar stumps lay on the
floor.
My, they must have been UP to all sorts
dont think Pll leave home any more.
The carpets had not felt the scratch of
broom.
The furniture was buried deep in the
dust:
The pantry. it seems. was in every room,
From the apple cores. peach stones and
knives gone TO rust.
The bed am sure, had never been made
Since made II and tucked It Just right
And cautioned him kindly and smlingly
said:
..Tske the counterpart off and fold it
each night.
The parlors were used Cor school Of in
struction
OF the bachelors left at home for
while
My embroidered pieces had gone to de-
In the corner my cushions lay, all in
pile
at once went to work and some things
were all right
Though many were ruined and replaced
with new:
And now when I 20 for a short pleasure
trim
see to one thing-that "the bachelor
goes too.

What's the matter with Houston No. 20;
is she still alive or has Brother Thompson
gene to sleep? With over fifty members
it seems strange that no sounds OF life
are heard. Has Houston fallen by the
wayside and going back to her village days
that her sous are destined 10 solitude ?
or, mayhaps, she's growing so rapidly the
boys never get home in time to sit down
and think What's Tom Swope doing 10
help matters aiong2 Come. Tom, let's
have your report If Thompson is away.
