She had met her city cousin at the
train, and as they rode down Grand
River avenue on the street car she took
a prideful pleasure in pointing out the
objects and buildings of interest, relates
the Detroit Free Press.
He evinced the proper appreciation,
making highly complimentary remarks
and no belittling comparisons with insti-
tutions in his own city. Passing the COR

street, where the new G. A. r. structure
is approaching lines of architectural
beauty, she rapturously exclaimed:

Once q Kansas zephyr strayed
Where a brass-eyed bull pup played,
And that foolish canine bayed
At that zephyr in a gay,
Semi-idiOtic way.
Then that zephyr in about
Half jiffy took that pup,
Tipped him over wrong side up!
Then it turned him wrong side out
And it calmly journey thence,
With barn and string of fence.
MORAL.
When communities turn loose,
Social forces that produce
The disorders of gale;
Act upon a well-known law,
Face the breeze but close your jaw
It's rule that will not fail,
If you bay it in gay,
Self-sufficient sort of way,
1t will land you, without doubt,
Upside down and wrong side out.
