LOVE soNNETs OF SON OF SWAT

v.
This game Of love Is not my longest suit;
Doping II out has put wheels in my bun;
Just as you think you've got the pennant won,
Bad luck will dump you on the soapy chute;
You come back hard. but every time yCu boot
Each chance y0n get until the game is done.
And when at last you need the tying TIn,
There amt no bleacher bugs to rise and root.
doped It out the first time that faced
To warm up good until l got control;
And then to curve a fast one round her waist,
Hoping this way to put her In hole;
Such my dope-but I've said before
The dope Is not what makes the full box score.
All, Love, indeed thou art horeless game:
The gong rings out-thc UmIire shouts Play ball!'
You rush ont Gayly till you hear her call
Back up-back uT-yOur salary whip Is lame;
What batting average stands against your name
In Dunn's or BradstIeet's little Guide to ANY"
You can't tag love inside a cottage wall
Minus the gate rcceipts-not with this dame.
Nix. not for mine" says She Fine chance to win
We'd have with landlord on the rival team.
With grocer, butcher feldi?g up onr tin
And smashing liners into Loves Young Dream.
Yours for a steady job and no fatigue
Before sign with any Fireside League"
Who sprnts on in with long. stake winning stride.
BRINGING the tying run with buging rridc,
As hope once more soars upward like kite;
Who thinks he's got II beat all right, all right,
While thousands camnr, Hit the dirt. there

When over all the tumult far and wide
The umpire shreks, You're out!' In mad delight.
So got mine IN true 0Loughlin style
Just whom thought had the battle won
Her old man yelled, You're out about q miller
And then came through and pulled the hit and run
But yesterday I'd copped the pcnnant pelf-
To-day I'm ssking waivers on myself

MAGAZINES BY FREIGHT.

Announcement that the postofflce de-
partment proposes to use the fast
freight as a means of transporting
magazines and periodicals, instead of
burdening the regular postal service
with them, brings promise of de-
cided betterment in the postal accom-
modations for first class matter. The
scheme is not wholly new, for the
East freight already has been en-
ployed by Postmaster General Hitch
cock for magazine transportation in
the cases Of some of the publications
that are sent out in greatest bulk. It
has proved successful as far as tried,
and there is no apparent reason why
it should not succeed in general appn-
cation.
Magazines and periodicals are not
Of such character that a days delay
in their delivery would prove serious,
ana lIldl II ABOUT all llldN AA' ANlo9
under such service would amount to.
Moreover, many of them are sent out
at present under strict instructions
that they be withheld from sale until
a given date, and another days delay
would mean only that they must be
held some twenty-four hours less by
those who receive them for sale or dis
tribution.
The postomce department has laid
great stress on the extent TO which
the occasional floods Of periodicals
cause congestions in the postal service.
The more general use OF the fast
freight service would bring material
relief to the mailclerks. It is possible,
too. that the cost of transportation
would be reduced at the same time
thus helping yet more to solve the
problems which the departments is
Obliged to face.
