THE BUG AND ANIMAL PARTY.

"HERE was party in the woods
Among the bugs and bees
n And every one was asked to come
And bring their food or fees.
Each animal and bug and fowl
For miles and miles around
Was asked to come, and when the day
Arrived all kinds were found
The COW, the horse, the duck and hen,
The woodchuck, dog and cat,
The ant, the flea, the louise and bee,
The squirrel and the bat
And when they spread upon the ground
The food, both cooked and raw,
1t was the queerest bill of fare
The forest ever saw.
The oxen brought some OK tail soup,
The cows they gave some milk.
Tho horses brought horseradish. while
The silkworms spun some silk
The polecat brought skunk cabbage for
To scent the bill of fare.
The bees they brought honeycomb
TO comb the rabbits hare
The billygoat brought buttcrine,
The squirrel furnished sauce.
The hen she dropped a fresh laid egg
Then cackled with remorsc;
The ants they brought some anti-food
Sent by rich uncles. two,
And when they asked the owl for his
He simply answered, who"
The woodchuck chucked the pullet's chin
And chuckled in his glee,
The turkey gobbled all the soup,
The bat went on spree.
The butterfly flew In a rage,
And then the butter flew,
And when the bullfrog up and croaked
The mushrooms, frightened, grew
The beetles beat a quick retreat
The hornbug blew his horn.
The crow flew to field close by
And pulled its aching corn.
The polecat started for the pole
To find the cent he spent.
1t was an awful looking place

ELOQUENCE WINS
HEARTS OF JURORS
Recommend Youths Accused
of Highway Robbery Be
Given Light Sentence.

Swayed by the eloquence of one Of

yers, James Lee Shelton. Of Richmond.
the jury IN the trial OF Henry NJ
Brooks, Emile Doust. and John H Cum
ningham, the three youths charged with
highway robbery, in Criminal Court,
No. 3 appealed to the court to impose
minimum sentence, after returning a
verdict OF guilty on one count in the
Indictment.
Fifteen years in the penitentiary Is the
maximum sentence for the crime
charged, in one count, and five years for
the second count charged, but the sen
tenCe recommended by the jury IS six
months IN jail.
The men were accused Of wsylaying
and robbing Dallas K. Bowman AMI
Markham Mcqueen, in judiciary Square,
at o'clock on the morning Of SeDtem-
Der II. Among other damaging evidence
presented 10 the jury was an alleged

young men the three prisoners sobbsd
aloud, and Mrs. John W. Brooks, OF

mothers" The attorney cor the pris-
