tie coffee mill and after luncheon and dinner
prepares special brew for his majesty and the
fortunate few who are privileged to taste It.
Emin is able to hold this little mill in his
hands when grinding the berries-a particular
kind-and the coffee IS served in very small
cups, which have almost the appearance of egg
cups. 1t is course. served by Emin himself
in all the glory of Oriental drapery. The people
who have tasted the kings coffee ere very few,
and not all Of those admire the flavor of it, tho
none would dare say so, knowing his majesty

during the time the heavens were
open, it would have taken 1873 days
to cover the tops of the highest noun

10000 feet. But it rained only forty
days and forty nights! Therefore the
rainfall must have been at the rate
of nearly 81 feet an hour. Could the
ark have withstood downpour of
over 500 feet day on every square

1 am a little adyerb,
And never try to shirk,
But all the sneaking adjectives
Are scabbing on my work.
No platform has a job for me,
The pulpit throws me out;
An adverb has no chance at all,
With an adjective about .s
The hero "acted noble
The villain answered rude,
The girl .behaved quite elegant, -
The copper "beat him good 's Ill
There ought to be union 53S.: Z
4 OF all the parts of speech.
With this to be the motto
An equal show for each.
Then IL the public shouldn't
e AXE workers as they come,
We'd ca Il "a strike ami quit
We'd leave the whole world dumb
