termed high-class plays.

MOMENT
By Roy K. Moulton

MARY AND THE COOKING SCHOOL.
Since Sister Mary started in to go to
| cooking school
1t seems that she has got possessed
of one insane idea.
They teach her how to cook a thing
and she makes it rule
To hike right home and mix 1t up
and try it out on me.
She says as how she amt quite sure
that she kin do 1t right,
But she is going to dope it out and
try it just for fun;
And If she gets the wrong things in
she's not disturbed mite:
She says it's only me that's sick
and there is no harm done.
I've swallered her while bill of fare;
she's made me choke it down.
The things have got the blamdest
names that 1 most ever see.
I'll bet my hat there amt no kind in
this whole gol dinged town
That's lived on so much high toned
grub the last six weeks as me.
She makes them there Cheese Ram
miIins that taste like lukewarm
glue,
And Venus Nectar, Russian Tea
and steak a la Creole,
Minced Partridge and Ham Souffie
and Rechauffie of Turkey, too.
She cooks them Angels on Horse
back and makes me eat 'em
whole.
If any one had CHANGED to say, about
six week ago,
That 1 would ever get filled up I'd
thought he'd lost his mind,
But now I'm on the brink of govt and
got dyspepsia so
I'll have to take some treatment OIL
the Rockefeller kind.
1 feel like takin' to the woods and
never comm back,
I'm melancholy all the time and
stubborn as a mewl
My only joy, my appetite, has petered
out, alack,
Since Sister Mary started in to so
to cookin' school.
But Mary made one bad mistake. She
baked a pie of mince.
She made her Teller eat piece and
he amt been here since.
