ELoPING UP-To-DATE.

The coatless man puts careless arm
Round the waist of the hatless girl,
While over the dustless. mudless roads
In horseless wagon they whirl.
Like a leadless bullet from hammerless
gun,
By smolSeless powder driven,
They fly to taste the speechless joys
BY endless union given.
The only luncheon his cC;nless purse
Affords - them the means
Is tasteless meal of homeless cod.
With dish of stringless beans.
He smokes his tobaccoless pipe,
And laughs mirthless laugh
When papa tries to coax her back
BY wireless telegraph.
