What, Kill Cock Robin!

They a blOod-thirsty lot apparent
Iy, the Legislators OF this session. A
few implacable tire-eaters are trying
70 legalize capital punishment, whi'e
the more weak-hearted OF their collea
CUES are willing to compromise with
bill providing for the death penalty
for robins. We concede that each ses-
sion must have its sprinkling of Bonn
bastes Furios0s, but IL is with a pang
OF regret that we see that the cold 0ye
Of the swashbuckler has alighted upon
the hapless robin.
What matters il II Redbr has
developed an insatiabie appetite for
cherries aud light hearted dlsialn
for the laws OF property? What mat
ters IL IL he camp over the hrSI straw
berry during it's ripening with g
ilanCe that knows no respite and has
his bill IN before the green grocer?
What's The difference il he has In re-
cent years AIKEN liberties with his pro-
gnosticative reputation and has taken
tn combining with his heraiding Of
spring virlle imagination and a
strain OF grim .humor? That brings
the grace Of variety t. life In the rural
dist Icts.
We concede all these arraignments,
waive The examination and ask for
trial by jury OF ,he defendants peers.
Incidentally, we venture that not even
change OF venue could secure the
conviction OF the defendant by such a
jury. What of a few cherries, or few
bushels OF thsmy What of the straw
berries, o.. few crates Of them? The
price will be high anyway. Besides
SO few OF us raise cherries and straw
berries! What II "the first robin Of
spring" Is a blatant optimist who in
variably brings blizzard in his wake?
It's the sentiment All, that's the
thing! What sordid times have we
come upon, IL We do not cherish that
song at sunrise and that chirp over
the difiideDt angleworm more than a
double-faced box of strawberries or 2

wedge or colic-breeding cherry pie!
The farmer whose cherry crop goes
to feed whole tenements Of robins may
occasionally feel dissatisfied with the
division OF labor. When he looks deep
er, however; when he sees the sunrise-
songs for city folk and poetical themes
for rhymsters he is providing, he will.
we wager, he more than content with
his lot.
Come, solons, out with the sentiment
and wealth Of fra grant poetry that we
know lurk in your souls. Let the
cherry pits be little larger and the
strawberry boxes bit shallower, If
possible. But do not assassina' e that
jolly good fellow in the scarlet waist
coat.
