Maud Muller on summers day
Set hen in brand new way.
(Maud, you see, was city girl,
Trying the rural life awhiri)
She covered a box with tinsel gay,
Lined it snusly with new-mown hay.
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for likely hen.
Out OF the flock she selected one,
And then she thought that her work
was done.
1t would have been, but this stub

Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot" aud
then
Maud Muller came, and in hurt sur.
Looked coldly into the creatures
eyes;
Then tied its legs to the box. "You
bet
| know how to make you set"
But still it stood, and worse and
worse
Shrieked forth its wrongs to the uni
verse,
Kicked over the box with its tinsel
gay,
And ignominlousiy tapped away,
Then bad boy over the barnyard
fence,
ree-heed: "Say, Maud, there's q

Then Maud recalled that the ugly

She tried to set had said "Ka-doot'
And ever since that historic day
She bushes in an embarrassed way
To think of the hobble she made

Short Extracts From
Burns Poems.


Robert Barns, tho great Scottish
poet is also the poet Of the Common
people for all time and in all coua-
tries. He sings his songs In homely
phrase Below are few extracts
from some Of his more popular pieces:
ITO q mouse" that the poet plowed
up in tho fall Of l7s5, he addresses
this pathetic language:
"Wee, sieekit, cowrin' tim'rous beas-
tic,
oh, whata panic s in thy breastie!
Thou medina start ava sac hasty,
Wi oick'ring bra,tls!
| wad be laith to rim aud chase thee,
Wi murd'ring pattle!
I'm truly sorry mans dominion
Has broken natures social union,
And justlfcs that i'll opinion
Which mai's thee startlc
At me, thy poor earth-born compan-
ion,
And fellow. MORTAL
That wee bit heap O. leaves and stib
bic,
Has cost thee mony weary nibble
Now thou's turned cut for a thy
trouble,
But house or lauld,
70 thole the winters sleety dribble,
And cranreuch cauld!
But, Mousie, thou art no thy lane
"a proving foresight may be val nj
The bestlaid schemes o mice and
Gang aft a-gley,
And lea'e us nought but grief and
For promised joy.
Still thou art blcst, compared wi me-
The present only toucheth thee;
But, och backward cast my e'e
On prospects drear!
And forward, though Gamma sec,
guess and fear.
The following he addresses to
louise which he saw crawling on
ladys bonnet at church:
ala! WHARF ye gaun, ye crowlin'
ferliel
Your impudence protects you sa,r-
ly:
Gamma say but ye strunt rarely
Owre gauze and lace;
Though, faith, l fear ye dine but
sparely
On sic place
Ye ugly, creepin, blas;it wonner,
Detested, stunned by saunt an
sinner,
How dare ye set your foot upon
her,
Sac fine ladyl
Gao somewhere else and seek your
dinner
On some poor body.
Swlth, in some beggar's hatiet
squattle;
There ye may creep, and sprawl,
and sprattle
In shoals and nations;
Where horn or bano ne'er dare un-
settle
Your thick plantations.
Oh, Jenny, dlnna toss your head,
An set your beauties a abroad!
Ye little ken what cursed speed
The beasties q maxim!
Thae wings and fngcr-ends, l dread

Oh, wad some power the giftic gle

York, and Frank, who is a minister
of the Episcopal church and at pres
ent chaplin in the United States
navy. Mrs. Thompson died in 1857,
and the bishops second marriage was
to Miss Annie Hinsdale of Konosha,
Wis, Two children were the result
of this union, Mary and Hugh.
In personal appearance Bishop
Thompson was quite striking. He was
a man of medium stature. solid frame,
and large intellectual head covered
with liberal growth of gray hair.
His eyes. were bright and piercing,
and he held rank in the church as
man of deep thought and extensive re-
search. His command of language
was excellent, AS pulpit orator he
had few equals, his diction was pure
and engaging, and j. his conclusions
forcible as well as logical. His i'm
agery, when indulged in was bril-
liant and captivating. and his
thoughts, which came quick, sparkled
with wit and were leaden with wis
dom. He was genial in character,
courteous in manner and good enter
tainer.
Bishop Thompson was well known
in the field of religious literature and
was the author of sevearl we'll known
books. In 1860 he published Unity
and it's Restoration, and in 1852
Sin and It's Penalty" following
this, in 1868 with FIRST Principles, Z"
and in 1872 with "Absolution " In
1873 he brought out his work, I" Is Ro-
manism the Best Religion for Re-
public ?" and also 1.-The Kingdom of
God,'' and in 1885 he published a vol
ume of lecters 1.-The World and the
was published in 1888, and
in 1890 1.-The World and the Man,
was published, which is now i'll its
third edition. For the past ten or
twelve years missionary work has
kept him SO constantly engaged that
he was unable to find the desired
time for literary work, although sew
eral volumes of religious works have
been issued during the period.
