In each domestic scene.

That gallon can of paint.
She bought It to renew a chair
That age and use had worn,
And over since with blanr despair
And rage and grief I'm torn.
The color isn't to my taste,
The odor makes me faint,
But Mary doesn't like to waste
She's using up that paint.
Perhaps a pint had been enough
Perhaps a little less;
But there's a gallon of the stuff
That causes my distress.
She's freshened this and freshened that
Till it would veN a saint.
It's green grass all through the fiat
Since Mary bought that paint.

following Mr.. Tafts second term.
As Mr. Longworth is President
Rooseyelt's son-in-lsw, his words are
accepted usually as semi-ofhcial for
the White House. This Is the unfortu-

present instance.
