 Do you see anything so very funny in that?"
 She did. The idea of MT. Bowser, with his 180 pounds of fat and his stiff knees, gamboling around with the Spring Lambs, struck her as highly ludicrous, but she checked her laugh and sobered her face and said:
 'Well, have you started the poem?
 'I am just going to, and I want no interruptions from either you or the fat."
 A hush fell upon the room at once. Even the cat held her breath as MT. Bowser rubbed his bald head and be- gan writing. Tn five minutes he was red in the face and hitching around as if in pain, and at the end of fifteen minutes he observed:
 "Well, here is the first verse. It

 'That's about what I expected from you. In your jealousy you'd be glad to have me spoil this thing and make propose to do it. I'll have something equal to Byron before get through"
 He went at the third verse like bull Jumping over a six rail fence, but there were Interruptions to distract his attention. In her nervousness the cat suddenly uttered a meow that made his heart stand still for a moment, and this was followed by a stranger ring ing the bell and offering to supply the house with dishcloths at cents apiece
 The cat was driven downstairs and the man ran down the steps, and half an hour later the third verse stood out like a circus picture on a country barn. It read:
 The lambkins gambol on the green,
 The farmer guides the blow,
 And now and then you hear the calf
 A-caI1ing for the COW.
 Perhaps you can find some fault with that?' remarked the poet as he 0CG AAASACA AUuuAA8s

 What is it to me whether he is, or not?'' 1..--.a <.*s
 ''If he is weaned he might be ta-call- ing for hay or chopped turnips. I should think that would be more origi- nal' -..
 ''No doubt you do. You've got about as much poetry in your soul as an old boot leg, and your feeling of envy is as plain as the nose on your face.'' He then turned to the last verse He had got good thing, and he wanted to round it off in a way to do his memory credit for years to come. He couldn't have worked harder shoveling coal. and Mrs. Bowser kept so quiet that she fell asleep. At the end of forty min utes he woke her up by saying:
 "Well, here it is, and if the Spring Lambs don't appreciate this poem I'll resign my membership:
 ''A1l hail to thee, oh, gentle springg
 We gladly give thee greeting,
 And we'll be sorry when you go
 To know that you are heeting."
 Couldn't you have made 1feeting' rhyme with eating or 'sheetingr asked Mrs. Bowser after a silence.
 "No, by thunder, couldn'tv' he ex- claimed as he sprang up. If I could find a word to rhyme with idiot how. ever, I'd do so and apply it to you. I'll be hanged if blame any husband who kills his wife. You can go to bed. I'm going out and may not be back to- night"
 He gathered up his poetry and took his way to the drug store. He bought a porous plaster in order to introduce the subject nearest his heart, and of course the druggist said he'd like to hear the poem. MT. Bowser's rendition was bro- ken in upon by boy who wanted CD. som salts and woman who wanted paregoric, but he hung to 1t until he had made finish. Then as he looked up expeetantly the druggist took him

 '"The gentle spring is here again. ! Again the grass and flowersl . Again we hear the robin sing { ' And sit in ba1my bowers. /
 'How do you like itT'
 '"There is plenty of sentiment there, !" replied Mrs. Bowser, "but I would change the last line. There are no balmy bowers until late in June. Any one sitting around would get cold in the head should make that line read:
 "And dodge the thunder showers
 ''It will read just as it does now. There's harmony between spring lambs and balfny bowers. suppose you'd get laundry or a cabbage patch into the verse if you could.''
 The next verse compelled him to saw wood until the sweat ran down his cheeks, and his heroic efforts brought looks of admira ton from the cat. He cut out and wrote in and crossed out, but it was finished at last, and there was look of triumph in his eye as he said:

 Mrs. Bowser was quick to notice it, and she was wondering whether he was thinking of buying a new milk COW or of making an arti- fcial lake in the back yard, but she asked no questions. During the dinner hour he seemed to be far away, far away in his thoughts >-so much so that he sweetened his oof- fee with a couple of olives, but when it was finished he got a pencil and paper and sat down to the sitting room table and prepared for business.

A CLIPPING CONTEST.

A novel advertising plan is that
recently adopted by The Davis kaser
Co, when they inaugurated their COu-
pOl Clipping Contest. The prize is a
handsome miniature Bucks Range,
perfect in its appointments and Oper-
alton. and much larger and more COM
plete than Toy Ranges usually sold.
1t is not to be sold at any price, and
is given by the Bucks Stove ana
Range Co., to assist their dealers in
reminding the public Of the numerous
merits of their celebrated line of
goods
Only girls under IA years of age are
eligible to enter this contest. The
handsome prize goes to the miss clip
ping the greatest number of The
Davis kaser Co.'S ads containing one
or more Of the Bucks trade marks.
The contest closes on July 25th. and
only complete ads can be used.
Many young ladies are now enthusi-
astically scanning the papers for
Bucks trade marks but their enthlIsi-
asm can not exceed that Of the fOrtu
nate mammals who possess a life sized
Buck 5 stove or Range.
