HOME, SWEET HOME OF FUTURE
Lurana Sheldon IN d. N. y Times:
What's happened to the dinner, wife?
The roast is more than rare,
The soup is cold,
The bread is old,
The coffee only fair.
The cook has left me hubby dear.
Her words I'll have to Quote:
me buds Oill pack,
OF won't come back,
For faith, OF have me vote"
What's happened to the parlor love.
The dust is inches high.
An awful gloom
Pervades the room
And not g. maid I spy.
The maid has gone away my pet,
She fitted from my sight
With Just a word
Twas this I heard
AT lasht OF how me right"
You have your hat on wiley sweet,
o tell me dear, pray,
Now hubby's home
Why will you roam
All, what Is this you say?
A home is but to sleep in dear,
A refuge from the wet.
I'm out you see,
To lunch and tea.
Now I'm a. Suffragette!*

A Stream So Crooked That It Double

There is n stream in Massachusetts
called the North river. 1t starts in
pond near Hanson and runs to the sea
at Scituate. 1t is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate, and the river
is forty miles long.
This river is probably the most re-

Dead sea, on this footstool and has

is coming in the river runs upstream,
and not only that, but the upper part
of it. which is fresh water also runs
up, and the spectacle of a fresh water
river beating it uphill is alone enough
to call attention TO itself But there is
much more to it than that.
The North river is noted for being

having given birth to the ship Column

named the Columbia river, and was
the first American vessel to circum-
