RIPPING RHYMES.

THE YELLOW PERIL.

Once more We face the dande-
lions, the fortynine impassioned
Bryans could not express the grief
we're knowing, as We behold the
rank weeds growing. Once more,
with knives and spades and diggers,
We buckle down among the CHG
gers, uprooting weeds that keep on
thriving, that simply will not quit
surviving. Oh, there are other
deadly battles than those which
wax where cannon rattles: and
there are foes lot more yellow
than any dadblamed Teuton fell
low. Through wintry months | have
been yearning to see the good old
spring returning; prayed for April
with an ardor that made the March
wind howl the harder; filled the
air with soulful sighin 's-vbut for
got the dandellons. Jings ! | was
thinking of the roses which charm
our winter weary noses; and of the
buttercups and lilies which shoe
away the dumps and willies. The
dandelions I'd forgotten, and now
they are a nuisance rotten. Each
day my frau gives me wigging be-
cause | hate the endless digging.
Go do your bit, she says, up
lifty, ''and make the place look
neat and thrifty; our neighbors
there, the stately Ryans, have
cleared their lawn of dandelions.
And so with digger | am vending,
to start the war that knows no end
