Mr.. AND MRS. POTATO BUG.

Tonight / will tell you about Mr..
and Mrs. Potato Bug and their three
children, Faith, Hope and Charity"
said Ethel's father.
Just about the time the Lady Bug
arrived MIR. Potato Bug found that his
family had eaten their home up. and
he had to get another for them. You
see, potato bugs live on the leaves of
potato vines, and when they get hungry
then they eat their house up. So when
Mr.. Potato Bug found that they had
eaten their whole house up, including
the back door step, he was very busy
looking around for some other large,
juicy leaf on which to make his home.
My dear. good wife said he, L
hear from the Cricket that there is
a lovely potato patch over where the
Lady Bug has her bungalow, and /
think we will move over there
"tAll right said his good wife, but
/ think you ought to get a hickory leaf
to move us on. You remember the last
time you moved us, the children ate
up the potato leaf before they got to
their new home
~ guess you are right said her
husband; you wait here and / viii
go and get a hickory leaf. and then
/ will carry you all safely to your new
home
90 OH went the GOJdlO Dug ana soon
returned with a large hickory leaf.
His wife was getting the children ready.
and when he called to her she had
their things on, and they We're ready
TO go with him.
over the Jumps Of earth he pulled
them. the sun getting higher all the
time and the day getting hotter, until
finally he arrived at their new home,
and the children and their mother
jumped off the leaf.
Mr.. Potato Bug sat down to rest,
and no ooner had he begun to get cool
than he looked up and saw that Faith,
Hope m Charity were eating up the
front porch Of their new home.
Here! herei' he cried. DO not start
eating the front porch; begin with the
back porch first
80 the dear children scurried to
the back porch and began eating ii
up as fast as possible"

There are roads from dawn to sunset
/ should like TO watch the ships come
down from Cadiz to Tangier.
When the awkward-moving camelS take
their cumbrous loads and start
From Damascus to Palmyra, / must
follow in my heart;
Yet these fancies lure me idly as a face
whose smile is wan,
For the world Is all a desert till you come
to Ispahan.
There the women at the fountains talk
and loiter In the sun.
On their lips old Omar's verses tasting
pleasures while they run.
There the night is cool with fragrance
and the quiet day drifts by
Like a pageant of illusion compassed in
an arch of sky.
/ shall take the road some morning
through Tabriz and Teheran
Passing far across the desert till / come
to Ispahan.
Life and death there throb with mystery,
beat with human yearnings still.
/ shall feel no press of knowledge making
truth the germ of Ill.
There they listen to the Sufis while the
purple evening falls,
And the distant line OF camels ends the
journey at the walls.
All the shows of things are idle till i
leave the Hamadan
On my way across the desert to the domes
of Ispahan.
