A Twentietn G injury Drama.

The Woman she sat in her dusty den,
Her papers all scattered about,
While she toilsomely sought, with pipe
and pen,
To straighten her business out,
When sudden cry
OF agony
From her husband smote her ear:
Help! Help! Be quick!
oh, it makes me sick!
shall die IL you don't come here"
The Woman she strobe across the floor,
An anxious frown on her brow,
And she tenderly said, as she opened the
door.
What troubles my Poppet nowY
For perched on a chair
High up in air
That frantic Man she found,
And he gave shrek
At every squeak
or the Mouse that played around.
Just look.' he sobbed. with his coat held
high,
AS he poised on the tip of his toe;
What savage jerk of his tail! oh, myl
1t will run up my clothes, L know!
How its eyeballs glare!
And its mouth--see, there!
oh, it's going to jump! Be quick!"
Thus the Man walled on
Till the Mouse was gone,
Scared off by the Woman's stick.
The Woman she smiled at his petty fears
In fond, superior way,
While he strove to check the bursting
tears,
As he breathlessly watched the fray.
Then the Man to the floor
She helped once more,
And lovingly kissed and caressed.
Her strong arm she wound
His frail form around,
And he wept out his fright on her
breast!
