 chill; All the spring flowers are sleeping No froggies are peeping Not even the vines have started their
 creeping" Said honey bee covered with yellow
 brown fuzz ''I suppose have really no business
 to buzz, So long before summer-it seems out ot
 place, Of fern leaf ana flower I can't find a
 trace. Oh I wish that I might For a moment alight On some pretty blossom so dainty and
 bright; The spring would come nearer The skies would look clearer. Pm snre the whole earth would seem
 fairer and dearer'' The little hepatica, covered with fuzz Stretched eagerly upward to hear the
 bee buzz The bee that was wishing a flower he
 might spy, Was perfectly charmed when he met
 her blue eye; He lowered about her in gauzy winged
 gladness. Pushing back the soft furs from her
 face free from sadness; '"There'll be plenty of bees later on, |"
 said Miss Fuzz "But they won't have for me such a nice buggy buzz.'' "Tl 9re'll be plenty of flowers later
 on," said the bee, 'But they won't look so fuzzy and
 charming to me-" H. The worlds supply of black opals is practically exhausted.

TUE WOOD NNMFH.

The others were all around YOU,
Singing and dancing there.
The wonderful night / found you,
With your forest eyes and hair
Lonely as all things fair.
Then the room and the people faded.
As YOU turned your eyes on me,
And the woods. all leafy and shaded
Grew round us. tree by tree,
safe with no eyes 10 see.
And we knew We had found each
other
After a thousand years;
Yea YOU and and no other
Mated by all the spheres
A.glltter like golden tears.
O girl made all OF wood lilies
And starry cups OF dew.
Not the mirrored Moon SO still is,
or wonder hushed as you
Ny moon so divinely new.
The raiment that rustled around you
Was ell OF young leaves made.
That wonderful night / found you
Alone in the forest glade
SO white In the green shade.

For ,he room they sang and danced
in.
Tho the rest were unaware.
Was the wood we Were entranced in
And no one else was there
because we two were there.

Beware, Mr.. Flirting Husband;
friend wife is on your trail and she's
going 10 get you IL you don't watch
out!
She appeared in the office Of Post
master j. NJ. Crutchfield yesterday
afternoon.
She was attractive looking, far be-
yond the average-in fact pretty
blonde, soft blue eyes, roses in her
cheeks that were not bought at a drug
store, fashionably dressed, refinement
in every feature and not over 80.
Il want TO see the postmaster" she
said, addressing that official, who,
rising from his chair, acknowledged
his identity. What can do for you,
madame ?" he politely inquired.
She closed the door and seated her
self In chair as tho going 10 confide

did.
She unbosomed herself of her
secret Her husband was "trifling''
on her. She was sure of IL. She had
suspected him some time and she
wanted to catch him dead TO rights"
And she wanted the postmaster's as
sistance.
Il am virtually certain there's a
letter from him to her right now in
your city delivery mail" she ex-
claimed, "and j want you 20 get II for
me"
Mr.. Crutchfield tried to persuade
her that she was wrong; that she had
merely come upon some small Incl
dent perhaps. which caused her 70
wonder. and this had led her into un-
reasonable Jealousy. In other words.
