The Dncnnt House

Down over the door of the bluebird,s box

No need Of bolts or of iron locks
Tho the little blue tenants gone
For the curtain swings out in the autumn air,
And a thoughtful old spider has fastened it there.
They came with the robin to herald the spring.
And right royal welcome they had;
Their gay little chirrup would bubble and ring
Tho the weather -vane's temper were bad; s-$z3
And often they'd sit for minute
Up where the spider has curtained the door.
And then they carrying timbers of straw

And thru the branches them more,
And the thoughtful old spider

Run UP the branches to peek ss
But the shades all drawn and he hurried away
With nut hidden back in his cheek 3e5Ess
And I hope that the tenants, when winter is o'er
Will thank the old spider who curtained the door.

The NimcOm1u1np.

Yes, nearly every community except Green Forest has one or more nimcomlumps. A nimcom- lump is in many ways similar to lump on a log. No good to an ybody else and but little to himself. He is a thing that start ed to grow and then left off close to where he begun. In bis own mind, eff it is ever discovered that he has one) he is better, nicer, prettier and knows more than all the balance of the world The nimcomlump is many times mistaken for dude, but is gen. orally not quite so good. He left school at an early age be- cause in a short time he knew more than all the teachers put together. He has no money, no aim in life but to dress up and look nice, and was never known to hold job of work long enough to get tired. He thinks all the girls are stuck on him, and makes 1t a business to talk about every body's sister and every young lady that is foolish enough to associate with him. But then the nimcomlump is harmless to all others besides himself. He grows to manhood in idleness,
 wears fine clothes that some one else pays for and lives in hopes of marrying some rich man s daughter who will support him the balance of his days in idle ness. It is dead easy to tell a nimcomlump as soon as you see him, but the best way is not to try to undeceive the critter, for the nimcomlump is incurable.
 Just let him go on through life thinking, he is ''it. '' He will end up in the right place. He is too nice to go to heaven when he dies, and so "onery" the devil wouldn t have him. He is merely a great big "gob" and never will be anything else. So don't even feel sorry for him; it would be worry wasted. But if you know who is one, then you know him.
