A Factory Poem

EDITOR THE TIMES:
The platform downstairs is q Joy
to behold.
It's smooth as plate glass and
don't seem to grow old;
The trucks roll DER 1t like the
skates on rink; -. =. =.
It's. always in shape, never goes
on the blink.
How hard It would be II we'd
truck over bumps,
Where everything joggles and
wiggles and jumps.
1t would wreck a mans nerves in
less than week;
Advice from doctor he'd sure
have to seek.
But Wheeler & Osgood keep things
In good trime;
Therefore all the truckers Just
work with vim,
And never load has upset to the
ground
On that platform so even, where
planks are all sound.

Sugar Till Need For Them Arises.
Fruit juices for use later in jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into jellies
at the housewives convenience.
This enables her to do with fewer
jelly glasses and to distribute her pur-
chases Of sugar for jelly making
through the year. Moreover, with the
bottled juice she can make a greater
variety of jellies, as juices which will
not jell can be put up when the fruit
is ripe and combined later with fruits
that will jell. or fruit ripenhg at differ
ent seasons can be combined.
For example, the juice Of strawber-
ries. cherries or pineapples can be kept
without sugar and later, when apples
are plentiful, can be made into com
binatiCn jelly.

THE MONKEYS PARTY.

Recently | went to the city and
while there visited the park to see the
animals. As l wandered about, feeling
lonesome and out of place, as uncles
are apt to do when they go to a place
like that without any little boy or girl
to keep them company, l noticed two
little chaps trotting along in front
of me.
Hurry upr' one called, looking back
of him. You'll miss it If you don't
hurry up"
An older lad, walking along with a
book under his arm, smiled at me, and
I smiled back.
"What is it the little fellows are so
anxious to seer asked him.
1.-THE big monks" replied the tall
brother. They feed 'em at a table
about this time every day."
They were such nice, friendly lads
that asked If might go with them
to see this sight. They said "Of
course" so cordially that l felt myself
quite at home with them.
We reached the monkeys cages after
short walk, and the little boys climb
ed up to some seats built for the little
folks.
In this zoo the animals are made as
comfortable as wild creatures shut up
in cages can be made.

the keeper-in uniform came into this

They came trooping into his cage and
seated themselves in the chairs at the
table
Then one monkey, wearing a white
coat and trousers, passed the plates to
the monkeys at the table. Then he
gave them forks. Next the keeper
passed the food-fruit neatly cut into
pieces
The monkeys began to eat it with
their forks, and the way some Of those
monkeys could handle their forks and
their manners at table were a lesson
for some boys and girls. When he had
eaten his fruit each monkey was given
a cup of milk, out Of which he drank
with great enjoyment
One monkey was naughty and had
his ears boxed by the keeper. This
monkey sat with his hand on his head
for the rest of the meal. He thought
If he covered his ears the keeper could
not box them again.

keys were ready to go back to their
cage. The children cheered as they

How to Pack q Trunk.

When packing for trip always re
member to put all the heaviest things
at the bottom of the trunk. Evening
dresses, perishable waists and all such
dainty things should be put on top,
where you can reach them. Hang
them up as soon as your trunks arrive
at your destination. A hat trunk is
not a necessity. Put your hat on the
top tray of your trunk and secure it
with push pins to the bottom. Unless
the brim is wide this will do no harm.
Stuff the bodices Of waists, light
dresses. etc. with tissue paper. Roll
the paper Into light balls, never tight
