Her First Poem,

She was one of those soft eyed maid
ems. sweetly innocent, shy and gentle.
She was unaCcustomed to newspaper
offices, but. being ambitious, she man
aged to find enough courage to try
winning an editors sympathy, SYM
pathy to be expressed by the accept
nee OF her poem.
81 have here" she said demurely. "a
little verse I've composed. l really
don't know what you'll think of it.
You may not like it at all, but it's my
frst-that is, the first I've ave- writ
ten for a newspaper-and I'd be very
pleased indeed If you honestly thought
it was good"
The editor kept at his work, now and
then scowling, but not at the young
woman especially.
Its about a maiden tripping DER
the lea," she continued.
What was the troubIe?' asked the
man behind the paper. Couldn't she

A TARCOOLER FUNERAL.
Wood Was Scare, but They Managed
to Rig Up a Coffin.

10 my W q Soi'H
In some Of the mining districts Of
South Australia there is a great scar
city of wood. Consequently, If you are
so foolish as to die there you must not
expect TO have a coffin, but must be
content TO be wrapped in a sack before
being deposited in Mother Earth.
However, when n certain very prom
inent resident Of a mining camp died

the way, it was called Tarcooler.
though GOODNESS was unknown and
Tarhotter would have been a more
suitable name-determined hat he
should be buried in style. So they set
about getting a coffin. They made one
Of a sort, placed a lid on it and laid it
with the deceased inside) in an empty
tent for the night.
Next morning the lid OF the coffin
was missing. 1t was afterward found
that 1t had been stolen to make the
tailboard Of n butchers cart.
However. in spite of this triGing loss
the funeral was conducted with great
solemnity. The coffin was much ad-
mired. 1t had been made out Of the
boxes in which the dynamite was sent
to the mines, Some people might have
considered that the ~obsequies were
marred by the fact that the coffin bore

when his turn came to ask one ut a

was the old riddle:
"Why is IA woman like the IVY
The answer. of course. is the gallant
explanation:
Because the more you're ruined the
closer she sticks"
But he got it mixed and asked:
why is the ivy like Il woman?'
None of the ladies present could give

ventured this maladroir solution:
Because the closer IL clings the
