Humor ane Philosophy
BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH
VOICES OF THE NIGHT.

After supper, after sunset.
When the only thing in sight
Is the street lamps feeble flicker,
Come the voices of the night
Not the solemn ones. however,
That the poets tell about,
But the ones that call for language
Which, to say the least, is stout.
Hardly have you nicely settled
On your porch to have a smoke
Till you hear a noisy tumble,
Half a squeak and half a croak.
Inwardly you groan in silence,
Outwardly you'd like to roar.
Partly to express your feelings
Toward the phonograph next door.
wishing some one you might mention
Were about as good as dead
Or would move to Madagascar,
You go in and go to bed.
Scarcely have your weary spirits
To the land of slumber flown
Till the tomcats in the alley
Start a concert of their own.
Boots and br1c-a-brac and SO forth
Drive them to another street,
And, with words that can't be printed,
Back you crawl to your retreat.
Hardly on the slumber wagon
Have you started for a spin
TIL upon your ears comes buzzing
The alarm clock butting in.

There will be strenuous fight in
the near future to abolish July wood
cock shooting. July is the mating
season and the birds should be pro-
tected instead of slaughtered. In
former years number of prominent
men worked for the passage of the act
now on the statute books, and at that
time were opposed by the fish and
game protective associations. These
same prominent men are now aware
of the immense amount of damage
done by gunners who make believe
they are shooting woodcock, but in
reality are shooting anything and
everything that inhabits the fields and
woods.
