Queen OF the Months.

Oh, May, retiring, modest, shy,
Or all the months you take my eyel =
like your style, I like your smile,
1 wish you'd stick round for awhile. e
No other month that have met
Is quite your equal, little pet.
Some months. 1t really seems to me,
Are just as mean rs they can be.
They rain and blow or sleet and snow
Or hotter than n furnace glow,
But you are gentle, soft and kind
And bring us only peace Of mind.
In January and It's mates
It's all right If you're selling skatesl.
Then you can stand blizzard and
= Make profit from your stock on hand,
But If you are not In that trade
They hardly suit you. I'm afraid.
And. on the other hand, July
Is burning hot and extra dry.
The summer sun with you has fun,
But all It's mirth is ovcrdonc
The hot wave on the string performs.
Then quickly shifts to thunder storms
But you. oh. sweet and lovely May,
Behave yourself most every day!
Your gentle Ways and languid gaze
Calls down upon you only praise.
You're seventeen ounces to tho pound.
And, say, why can't you stick around1

Caught In the Trap.

Success depends largely" said the
wayside philosopher, "on doing things
at the right moment. In love or in
business there is the tide III the affairs
Of men which, taken at the flood, leads
OH to fortune. How Is the unlucky
fellow who drops In to ask favor Of a
business man to know that his dinner
hasn't agreed with him or that one Of
his largest orders has been cancelled 2
If he knew 1t he would wait till some
other day. I once knew young man
who had courted girl for several
years and after all Of that time he
picked just the wrong moment to ask
her to become his WIFE"

control, and Mr.. Fraser Lyon, of the

The papers were served on Major

Major Black and his counsel, Mr..

show that. He has given bond for
$1,000 to appear not later than June
II to show cause why he should not
be put under peace bond. In the
meanwhile he has given al appear
ance bond for 1000.

The Wrong Word

Bessie came In from school anu sat
down before her mother. There was
solemn expression on her face. Her
mother looked down at her. with Il
smile. waiting for her to speak.
"ls 1t right to tell things that you
have heard at school2" she asked,
somewhat timidly.
Not unless 1t can do some one good
and would not be telling another's Sc
cret," said her mother quietly.
"Oh, this will do good, and it Is about
some one in our family. so it Is our Sc

mother, for mothers hearts tell them
| more than their ears sometimes.
"Ics. Thq glrls-thc little girls down
IN Bobbie's room-say that sometimes
he does not know anythingw declared
Bessie. whose eyes were wide with her
news. The last word had come out
with strong emphasis.
"Nhy, I think he must have learned
something" said her mother smiling.
''Thcy say the teacher has q dread
full time with him and makes him say
the things over after her, and some
times he seems to know them, and the
very next day he doesn't"
II will see when he comes in what it
Is all about" said mother.
Presently Bobbie came in from
school. He had stayed again after the
others, and his eyes were red from cry

"Come here, Bobbie," said his moth
er. II want to ask you about your
school. Can't you learn your lessons? 2"
IL always know my lessons, but the
teacher says don't"
give me your book" said his moth
er. "Rcad this for me-"
Bobbie read the little paragraph. He
| made no mistake, and his mother ask-
ed him to spell the words. This he did
perfectly.
She looked inQulrlngly ut Bessie, who
sat proudly by. "It wasn't true" Bes-
sic whispered.
"Why does your teacher say that you
do not know your lesson?" asked his
| mother.
| "JuSt because I don't know what n
'nanser' is. I haven't any at home. l
never saw one."
BoDbie's lip was Quivering and his
eyes were filling with tears. every
time she asks me to give her nanser
I tell her can't"
Mother took Bobbic up in her lap,
and when she saw that Bessie was go

the street for the postman, and then
she. said to Bobbiei "I-see THAT you DO

Bobbie's face was beginning to clear.

Humor'ane Philosophy
BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH
CALL OF THE STREAM.

|
It's pretty tough to have to work -
At driving nails or writing. .....-.
To be obliged to stay in town -. .
When little fish are biting
The man whose nerves arc out Of whacls.
Whose brain Is In tangle,
Should polish up his fishing rod
And find place to angle.
Work, though 1t modest Is and light,
Is really quite appalling
If one Is glued right down to It
When little fish are calling.
He feels like throwing up his hands
And taking for vocation
A job Of fishing all tho time
On ono lifelong vacation
When figures run around the page
And make his head grow dizzy
He wants worst way to join the ganH
And with the line get busy.
And SO he frcts and stews around
And every hour keeps Wishing
That he could chuck the blasted books
And put his tlme In fishing.
And SO he mopes about tho place
An air detected wearing;
Quito saVagely he kicks tho cat
And does some quiet swearing.
II he Is crossed in little things
He growls and feels like fighting.
For who could labor and keep sweet
When little fish are biting?
