THE BUSINESS MAN AND THE
MAID.

A Maid once loved business Man,
Full young he was and fair,
He had big innocent blue eyes
And waVy golden hair
But so demure and shy was he
No vile. however sweet.
The Maiden In her love designed,
Could bring him TO her feet
But now II was the glad leap /ear,
When privilege was hers
To ask his hand. as each mid may
OF him she most prefers.
She took him for a trolley ride
Adown 10 Bay Shore park,
And popped the question In a place
Economically dark
He hung his head quite bashfully
And asked for time 10 think,
When he would soon. as twas his won't.
Reply by pen and Ink.
But when his missive she received,
She could not understand.

TIE OYSTER AND HER FAMILY

Now that the oyster season is near
Is upon us. the following item from
the National Magazine may be of in
terest. According TO scientific author
tiles. SAYS this magazine, the average
female oyster deposits at least 16,000,-
O00 eggs during a single spawning sea-
son. and il is said to be no uncommon
occurrence for an individual oyster to
have 5O.OOO.OOO and even 6O,OOO,OOO to
her credit
Comparatively few of these eggs,
however. reach the fertilization stage,
and of those that do few survive it.
for many and fatal are the dangers
that threaten. Sudden changes of
temperature, cold rains. greedy fish
all contribute to further the ends of
nature. An oyster egg has less than
one chance TO two millions of reach
ing maturity.
