Eating an Orange.

Fine oranges grow in Florida, and
some of them are eaten at the table.
The Florida style is to sever the
orange at the equator and serve the
north and south hemispheres on n
plate with spoon. All the signs
of the zodiac are in the divisions
of the orange. Ckisel them out
with the spoon and eat them. Leave
the partitions. 1t is bad form to
suck an orange. To peel it and eat
it in sections is too much trouble

When The Hens Lay.
Our family is extravagant,
And always want to buy


Every pesky thing they see,
Though the price be low or high
But moneys gettin' awful skerse
'Tis skerser every day,
And Pa says we can't do much
Till the hens begin to lay.
Ma wants bran new range,
And kitchen cabinet, too;
Pa says we can't afford 'em,
And Ma lie in stew.
She frets and scolds about 'em
Most all the live long day,
And says she'll surely have 'em.
When the hens begin to lay.
Pa wants new spring wagon
And n first class set O. gears;
Ma says he can't afford 'em
Unless he sells the steers;
Pa can't afford to sell 'em,
But then he needs the pay,
And 1 guess he'll surely get it
When the hens begin to lay.
The preacher came out yesterday
To see about our dues;
Pa said he wouldn't see him
1t just gave him the blues
But Ma set as dignified,
When he asked our monthly pay
And told him he could have it
When the hens began to lay.
