THE TALE OF THE BAD STRING BEAN.

THE TALE OF THE BAD STRING BEAN.
A Romance.
They dwelt all alone in a dreary farm
At the foot of a green grass hill,
Where they cooed in the warmth of
the fair days sun,
And slept in the long nights chill.
They loved as they lived, these pota-
toes, sweet,
And he was all eyes for her,
But they longed to be able to wander
From the desolate place they We're.
A bit to the left a string bean grew,
A horrible firt was he;
And he winked at the sweet potatoes
love,
When the other one didn't see.
And the maid winked back at the
naughty bean.
(Which, 1 vow, wasn't nice to do),
But the bean was SO grand in his neal
green suit
That you WOulu nave uone IL, too.
V.
Along, up the farm, came a man n
day,
With a bag and a big black spade.
And the look that he gave both the
twain and the bean
Made the smiles on their faces fade.
He gathered the lady potato up,
But passed by her trembling beau.
Then plucked off the bean with a
deXterous touch,
And passed up another row
They chatted and laughed in the big
black bag,
Till they got to the farmhouse stoop;
Where the man with the spade dumped
them into a bowl
To be used for the next meals soup.
And the wife came out and chopped
them up
Till the bunch Of them all were
smashed.
And that is the s~candalous tale of the
way.
The potato and bean got mashed.

on that idea, he was never approached
for a donation Tor the University OF

waste and getting better results, why
a philanthropic combination should not
also be effective. He tells of the work
of the General Education Board and
