POOR OLD DAD.
Father breads the spring approaching
All upset, he strokes his chin,
For he knows with milder weather
Spring house-cleaning will begin.
Furniture turned topsy-turvy.
Carpets taken from the floor,
Eating breakfast off the mantel,
As he's often done before.
Soap and water, dislnfectants,
Great confusion everywhere,
Scrubbing, rubbing, sweeping, busting
In the halls and on the stair.
All the blooming windows open,
Gusts of air come rushing in,
Mother, looking like a Malay.
Leads the havoc and the din.
All the children sent to neighbors.
Where they'll be-out of the way,
Visitors and bold book agents
Told to come another day
Life is like a blank to father
Till the spring house-cleaning' done
And once more he gets together
His belongings, one by one.

A need of love to you.

MAN.

Man. lord of wide domain,
Looking with cold disdain
ON lesser creatures made,
Perhaps. of ruder grade.
Thinking himself the boss,
Whom no other must cross.
Or else, the weight of his hand
Will be felt on the sea and the land
Man, a colossal fraud
Who most doth himself applaud.
Swelling his chest and his head,
Eating of half-earned bread.
Still to his phantoms must cling,
II pauper, or slave or king,
swearing the sun it was made
To warm hinn--the trees to give shaded
Nothing may curb his conceit-
Suffering, pain or defeat.
Barren his soul and his heart, =
Noisily playing a part,
Sure that the world was devised
Even the stars, half-surmised,
For his sweet pleasure-his will,
To daily, to fondle and KILL
A LOVE STORY.

that some of their members NAV
