Cupid and the Boil WeeYfl.

A recent report from Shreveport
that there were two hundred an,
fifty less marriages in that city las
year than the year previous has calleC
forth the following effusion iron
Irwin Tucker of the New 0rlean.
Item:
Twas in the time of Leap Year,
By Shreveport's honeyed gate,
Was fought the dreadful conflict
We tremble to relate;
When from the realms Of Texas
The fierce boil weevil came,
To desolate the countryside
And ring the farms with fame.
Now in the land Of Caddo,
AIS all good lovers know,
And in the town of Shreveport
The sweetest brides do grow.
There Cupid held his revels
And there he reigned alone,
And by his arts chained lovers hearts
Unto his moonlit throne.
On came the stern boil weevil,
Terror before him fed.
His armies crossed the Sabine stream
And neared the River Red.
go back, thou fierce boil weeYil,n
The message to him came,
The bug lives not, can bide where hot
The hearts of lovers fame"
Yet onward came his armies;
And 10! the sWeethearts fed,
From all the lands Of Caddo
Across the River Red.
And Cupid saw his armies
Scatter and break and fly,
The marriage market was that year
Two hundred fifty shy,
Now, 9 thou fierce boil weevil,
Hearken this warning just;
We brook the tolls of cotton,
We stand it, for we must.
But by the shades beneath us,
And by the blue above,
Touch not with those antennae bold
The sacred crops Of Love.
Or il the souls of S~outhrons,
Who once for freedom yearned,
And ii the breasts where Liberty
Hath once 50 brightly burned,
Shall brew so wild a tempest
Athwart this Southland free,
Twill sweep thy proud invading host
Headlong into the sea!

A Modern Lincoln in the Making

The Uniyersalist Leader thinks that
Lincoln would have bad no chance to
"come to himself under modern edu-
cational experts. After lie had got
through the baby food and kinder
garten course and the dentist and oc-
uIIst we're done with him he would be
"young gentleman"of eight. There
after his progress toward the goal of
nonentity would be unmIstakabiy d.
rect. The Leader continues:
eat ten he would know more than
the old folks at home: at twelve or
fourteen he would take up manual
training and within two years make
rolling pin and tie it with blue
ribbon; in the high school at sixteen,
where in four years he would learn that
Mars was the repuGed son of Juno and
to recite a stanza from ''The Lady
of the lake, then to college. where
he would have joined the glee club
and Greek letter fraternity, smoked
cigarettes and graduated. and then be
come a clerk in bankers Office and
never, never do any one any harm
Well-perhaps-w don't know and
can't tell what might have been. but
we can't help feeling thankful that
Lincoln's training and education
we're left to Nancy Hanks-and Cod"
But there is just possibility that
some modern cabin boy will manage
to sidestep this curriculum of degen-
eracy and give to the twentieth CEN
tury it's own Lincoln.
