SOME SPRING POETRY.
As no THE WEATHER.


When the frost is on the window and
the kitchen pail is froze;
When the little icy needles come
with every breath that blows
When the chiIbIains make us groan
aloud and cold feet give us ppin.
It's safe to bet that we all wish for
summertime again.
For while we sweat and stew around
in breezy summer clothes
It's an easy thing to cool off and for
get our earthly Woes.
But it's different ii, the winter when
the world il full Of ice
And thew Gather Is as hard to beat
as any loaded dice.
We may boast about our climate and
about our spring and fan
But the balmy days. Of summer are
the best ones after all
