THE QUESTION.


She went into the meadow and she
pulled wisp of grass,
She took some luscious cherries from
the trees,
She wandered through the garden and
she gathered her some sass
Some radishes, some spinach and
some peas;
She found year-old birds nest that
was good enough for use,
The eggshell that was m 1t and all
that
And then she pulled a carrot and
feather from a goose
Did she mean to make q salad or a
hat?
She cut sprig OF parsley and little
spray of mint.
She pulled ripe tomato from the
vine.
OF what were her intentions she gave
not the slightest hint,
AS to whether she would garb her
self or dine.
She took a spray Of lilac and a basket
She found upon the rubbish heap, and
She fiiied with what shed gathered
and 1t filled me fun of awe
Did she mean to make salad or
hat?
She threw them all together, Just
howeer they chance to go.
The lilac and the carrot and the rest,
She stirred them and she mixed them
and she shook them to and fro,
She moved them north and south and
east and west
And when she got them scrambled, as
she started out to do.
The feather and the cherries and all
she gazen upon 1t gladly AIS she held
1t up TO view
Did the woman have a salad of hat7

HUMoR IN STUDENTS PAPERS.
Some Good "HowIers" Sent to Us
from England.

An article on Examination Humor"
in an English periodical called Nor
NAL Echoes" contains some good
"howlers." They are none the less
interesting for coming from students
In training for teachers. A criticism
OF William Blake that "as a child he
was precocious in poetry, but in later
years 1t developed into dogmatism"
Is lesson in the art of being inarticu-
late, while the remark that the works
OF the time were mostly Satyrs" is
quaint though obvious. The transla-
tion' OF "Caviare to the general as
they gave the best of fish to the
servant" is worth thinking out, and so
is the note on Wordsworths great line
in the ode, "the winds come to me
from the fields of Sleep" as found
In Old Immortality, means that the
wind blew across the flowers" OF
course, there is boggling over proper
names. There is nothing, indeed SO
good as the description of Cromwell
as "a man with coarse features and
having a large, red nose with deep
religious convictions beneath" or
the case Of the Elapsed man" who, hav-
ing by way of exception attended
church, admitted to the rector's wife
that he had benefited, for he had
learned that Sodom and Gomorrah
were two cities, whereas he had al
ways thought they were man and
wife.

Echo Of Real Value,

Emerson Hough, the author of sew
eral popular novels, is very fond of out.
door life. 1t takes good man to
beat him when 1t comes to telling a
story around the camp fire at night
While camping out in the Adirondacks
with party Of his friends, the con.
versation turned on echoes and how
plainly they could be heard. Echoes
were getting louder and louder, until
silenced by the following statement by
Mr.. Hough: "Out in the Rocky noun
tains 1t takes eight hours to hear the
echo OF your voice. When camp
out there, and just before l pull the
blankets around me for the night I
shout out: Time to get upv and-do
you believe it?-the echo wakes ma
next morning!"

THOUGHT THEY WERE STALE.
Good Reason Why Playwright Did Not
Appreciate Candy"

A well-known playwright who has a
full-grown appetite and is particular.
iy partial to caramels found a hand
full Of very pretty CONNECTIONS on the
top of his wife's dresser the other aft
ernoon. He looked them all over and,
selecting one encased in tin foil, ate
1t. 1t tasted to him as though 1t we're
stale.
In the course Of the evening his
wife asked him If he did not want
some candy. The writer of plays said
he thought he had eaten all the candy
he cared for that day.
You evidently buy the box because
it has a pretty picture on it and let
them give you the candy" he COM
planned. You can leave that tin.foiled
stun around the house hereafter with
safety. I've had all l want OF it."
oh" said his wife, that covered
with tin-foil wasn't candy. That was
