The Cricket's Warnino-

Outside my window there's a thicket
Where hawthorn branches intertwine,
And there all night a fretful cricket
By accident or by design
Procla1ms that summers on the wane,
Insists that autumn winds ere long
Will blow across the hills again
And leave the world bereft of song,
I wake at midnight from my dreaming
AND restlessly toss to and fro
What time the cricket keeps on scream
ing:
The autumn winds ere long will blow.
The peaceful. restful summer days
With summers Joys will soon be past.
The sumac soon will be ablaze.
The nights are growing longer fast"
Out on you and your sad complaining,
Oh, foolish little pessimist.
l know the summer time Is waning.
Therefore YOU may as we'll desist.
Prate not to me OF autumn's ills
Nor scold because the nights grow
long,
For when the haze is on h hills
My dreaming quickens into song.

Forest Of Stone In Australia.

In Albany, in Australia, is to be seen
a stone forest-in other words, petrified
trees. The trees are of a gray stone.
1t is suggested as an explanation of
the strange phenomenon that In the
depths of past ages the forest was in
full vegetation and then through some
upheayal Of the earth it was buried In
sand. Little by little water acting on
the sand penetrated the branches and
solidified.
The wood gradually disappeared un-
der the layer Of stone and In time took
Its form. Then in succeeding years
the winds again carried away the sand
and the forest appeared anew, but Of
stone.-London Globe.

Hu1nor ona Philosophy
NOT SELF WORKING.
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH

NO ODDS how fine the scheme may be,
How promising and fair,
no certain of a marked success,
How larScly on the square,
1t Will not Bring in dollars nor
Put poverty to rout
Nor mako Us independent IL
We never try it out.
The plan may look as fine as silk
And ready to produce
In fact. a triple plated cinch
Too slick for any use
But net results will not produce
Enough to buy a hat
While We but dream about the plan
And let it go at that.
Indeed In looking Ger our schemes
Quite rosy and select
Those that We try do o pan out
h way that We expect.
So 1t Is useless and, in fact,
A waste OF time to try
Collecting on the ones unborn
And billed for by and by.
How very lovely it would be
It We had but to draw
Upon the storehouse Of our mind
For schemes without a flaw
And. looking through them, could e.
lect
The ones that looked the best
And sit back in our easy chair
And let them do the rest!
