LIFE IN THE SEA,
The Curious Things that Thrive In

a lot of sand tleas from dipper and
dropping them into 4 jar of anemones.

on the body Of an anemone. which
promptly closed up. One, unfortun-
ately, found himself, when he had set
tied on the tentacles of one of the
anenones. These began to serve the
purpose for which they were bestow-
ed upon the anemone, and the flea, or
scud, suddenly found himself inside
the capacious nav of the anemone,
and the life was soon squeezed out OF
him.

"ANxrH1 Se you WANT"

Last week, when was asked to read
meant to say II can't"
But strange enough 1t changed into
Anything you want"
And after had gone away,
Those words my mind did haunt
The little sentence had said
Anything you want"
Now am bashful, very much,
And a little thing will daunt,
so please be patient while read
Anything you want"
The other night lady said
And la my face did flaunt
"But still you temperance people take
Anything you want"
How many people whom we meet,
Look hollow eyed and gaunt,
1t simply comes because they take
Anything you want"
Now shall we give them any chance
With cutting words to taunt,
Because a few will always do
Anything you want"
Then let us work eeoh day and hour
Above our foes to vaunt
Our banner, and help those who take
Anything you want"
Then let us do the best we can
AS through this world we jaunt.
And ever Of llfe's better things
Take anything you want"

hope Of defeating President Roosevelt
in the next election. These men say
they will support any candidate the
democrats put up and advise the
democrats to nominate a free silver
man 80 as to be sure of capturing the
Bryan vote. This does not mean, Of
course, that they have been converted
to free silver or free trade but they
have found President Roosevelt un-
yielding TO the pressure they have
presumed to exert and they believe
that democratic candidate, whose
election was accomplished by their
money, would feel so deeply under
obligations to them that he would be
as putty in their hands. Even though
thu election Of such a man might
