THE SPRING CRY.

This is the season Of the year
When man proceeds to take n look
For last years garments. far and near.
He searches every nail and hook.
And then In anguish loud he cries.
Where is my cravenette. I say?"
And this is what his wife replies:
MY dear, I've given II away
His summer suit of faded gray
He's very sure. is good new;
At least Ii was when put away
This season Ii will have to do.
But from the hook it's disappeared.
Yes. vanished has that suit OF gray
Nor Is he very greatly cheered
To learn she's given II away.
At least. says he. my yellow shoes
Will do another month or two:
This year l have no coin to lose
The old are easier than new
But last years oxfords, too. gone
For new ones he will have to pay:
This 10 wife's reason: ''You know, John
That have given them away"
This IL the season of the year
When angry words are often heard;
Man sees his clothing disappear -.
And then 10 bitterness Is spurred.
O wives. o wives, Pray hear my plea
II you your husbands wrath would stay
At home begin all charity.
Don't give their last years clothes away.

THE DOUBTLESS LIFE

Our inventors are so tireless
We've communicated wireless
For orr news.
When 70 be IL cooks are hircless
We have cookers that are hreless
For staws:
We have carriages quite horselcss.
And chauneurs who are remorseless.
For our fun:
We have candidates indorseless.
And q lot OF dead ones. corseless.
On the run:
We have feuds about us truccless.
With some fcudlsts who are useless
Ev'ry way:
We may have campo gns ahuselces
When those options leave us juiceless
Some dry day:
We have even statesmen peerless,
With their utterances fearless.
Loud and long.
While the factions. though theyre Jeerlees.
Listen with n mien that's cherries
To their song:
But with corporations soulicss,
All uubusted snd CONTROLLERS.
Everywhere.
We must live a life that's goailcse.
Cause It's nearly always doughless.
Hence We swear.

A General Tendency.

The flowers bloom upon the bank
And on the leafy tree:
The weed. though of a lowly rank,
Blooms on. most fair to see.
This useless pomp mid woodland bowers
Is but a small display
Compared to millinery flowers
Which on her hat are gay.
Fame's destination quick.
BY blossoming forth into a speech
or fowery rhetoric.
And so where e'er you turn you see
This floral mood hold sway
This blooming nonsense seems to be
The order of the day.

COLONEL TRIEDLER To

Probably the - interested former
Philadelphia to V.slt the Quaker City
during the Founders' Week festivities
will be Col. Charles Emanuel Triedler,
b man with a thrilling history. Col.
TTiedler, member Of two Governors
stats in Delaware and probably one of
our best known men, was asked Satur.
day whether or not he proposed to at
tend the great demonstration.
"Am going Well, can I walk 81,
the colonel asked, as he started up the
street like four-year-Old.
His interrogation called him back for

friend had taken him some time ago
while in Philadelphia, and shown him
his room, with his own picture in it,
which is to be his during the first week
o. festivities that call up recollectiOns
OF Penn and Franklin.
Probably the most thrilling event in
Col. Triedler's life as a Philadelphia
occurred in 1865. He is a celebrated
singer and sang his Easter service in
1908 as well as he did in 1850.
The united saengerbunds and maen-

an election for four OF the most pOpu-
Jar singers to send to Dresden to partici.
pate in the First International German
Sangerfestbund in Dresden on July
22nd to July 25th, 1865.
Triedler was elected as the leader Of

great festival and containing the
