SNAP SHOTS ATHOMENEWS.

Long and loud has been complaining
Ger the GOODNESS and the raining,
Men and women, young and old have
Freely they have voiced vexation,
And in fits of Indignation
At the worried weather man they've black
" scowled.
Summer girls have oft been signing
As they've seen the season flying
And have had no chance to show their raj
ment rare:
As the rain upon them tumbled,
Barring picnic clothes that they desired tc
wear.
There has been constant clamor
For the old-time summer glamour,
There has been cry for heat throughout
In all sections there are Knockers
At the weather, and the knockers
Many times have groWled and hOwled to
beat the band.
But the grumbling and the growing
And the scolding and the scowling
Very soon may take a turn the other way;
For the summers Just well started.
And before it has departed
Torrid weather may be causing much dis
may.
When we get the heated weather.
Coming days and nights together.
There will be another howl throughout the
land;
on ali sides there'n be complaining
When torridity is reigning,
And for coolness there will be loud de-
mand.
There is always strong objection,
Coming up from every section,
Be the weather cold or hot. or dry or wet;
There are always lots of howlers,
And the reason is these GROWERS
Won't be satisfied with anything they get.
