The Kicker.

About the wintry storm,

Eat both day an night
Now I'm kickin' fur good
Occasional appetite.
Used to kick about the elf
Who got protectors aid.
Went in business fur myself.
I'm kickin' fur free trade.

TO play me some new trick.
Whatever way this old world turns,

Not infrequently the king i'm opening
parliament resembles the heroine
Shakespeare's love tragedy. He speaks
vet he saws nothing King George was
in the Juliet mood when he opened his
first parliament yesterday. The cere-
mouy was as impressive as need be.
Throngs of loyal subjects cheered the
monarch as he passed. in his gilded
coach, from buckingham Palace to ST
Stephens and back again. The soldiers
were out in fine array, and the sem
blance of royal control OF the delibera-
tions of the legislators was we'll pre-
served in the proceedings in the cham
Der of the peers. But the speech from
the throne foreshadowed no turmoil OF
contending factions. the king was not
permitted. or did not permit himself tc
utter a word which might prove fresh
fuel for the smoldering fires of party
wrath.
