A PLEASING MISS

l saw a pleasing miss today:
l gazed in breathless glee,
Today saw miss that
Had always longed to see
A mad excitement shook my frame,
On seeing this neat miss;
felt mighty thrill, and thought
I'd surely burst with bliss.
My frenzied Joy could not be quell-
ed,
My happiness would out;
Small wonder l should wave my
hands,
And sing and dance and shout.

That set my heart aflame;
l saw the slugger miss ball,
And the home team won the game
Tommy said Mr.. Figg sternly,

Grasshoppers
By Walt Mason

Two dozen hoppers hunted grass upon
western farm; they played among the
garden sass, and did but little harm.
On nimble legs each hoped around. and
wlnked the other eve, and BY the farm
er they were found, as he went creak-
ing by. The farmer went to town that
day, and said to Grocer Ware: Grass
hoppers are among my hay, I saw ten
thousand there" The grocer quickly
spread the news: "The hODpers are on
deck! They even eat the farmers
shoes and window blinds. BY heck" The
printer of the Weekly Dirk did Justice to
the tale; he let his bubbling fancy work,
and shocked the country pale All Ger
the country went the yarn about the
farmers woe; of how the hoppers ate his
barn, and laid his cOrnfields low. They
swarmed around in such cloud that
they Obscured the sun. and eastern read
ers swOre aloud, that country takes
the bun!" Two dozen hOppers on a beam
surveyed the country wide. and little
did those hOppers dream how they had
multiplied! A few brief hours they
frOlieked round. and sported in the hav
and filled the air with locus sound. and
then they flew away; and still that
husky lie lived on. and travelled far and
near, and people said. $50 help me John.

Pride
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author of @At Good Old Siwash.s

D8IDE Is a mans endeavor to live I'd
to his good opinion of himself Every
man is proud, but some cases are
more severe than others. Some men are
so proud that they will starve to death
rather than ask for help. Other men are
so proud that they viii borrow all the
money their friends have and never paw
it back rather chan accept one cent
through charity.
Some men are so proud that work IS
beneath them. After a man has been
too proud to work for a few years, how
ever, nothing else is beneath him, as a
rule.
Pride hits men in many different ways
Some are proud of their money, some of
their children, some of their cattle and
and some Just Of themselves When a
man is very rOud of himself it saves
the rest OF mankind great deal of trou-
bic. 1t doesn't have to be proud of him.
A great MANY DeOple are very proud
of their ancestors. 1t must be fine to
be an ancestor and TO know that in a
few centuries your descendants will be
so proud of you that they would die with
shame if you were to come back to life
and sit around in your shirtsleeves in
their Dalatial summer cottage.
A little pride is a very fine thing for
