Skv SPEEDING,

While strolling in quiet lane
I upward cast an eye,
And there / saw an aeroplane
A-speeding in the sky.
The planets hustled from its path
In utter disarray.
And. rushing on, 1t cut swath
4 Adown the Milky Way.
But, after all. its course was brief
1t had the comets cowed.
But pretty soon it came to grief
BY skidding on cloud.

the corner of the roof of a matched
cottage occupies her attention for a
few minutes and afterwards a haw-

place she becomes busily occupied for
the rest of that day and for many days
that follow In short, this queen has
discovered suitable site on which to
commence operations for the building
of new wasp city.
Afterwards you can almost always
find her round that particular part
of the hedge 1t is her custom, how
ever, to make little flying Journeys be-

shutter of a barn in the field close by.
From this shutter, by means of her
