THE LESSON OF HISTORY.
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

ID
On the sunshiny African Isles
Where the ladies were light on their
feet,
And under the mangoes did shimnies
and tangoes
That were far more risque than
discreet,
Reformers would often arise,
Hold up their hands and proclaim:
"Profaning the Voodoo by dancing like
you do
Is blot on the Hottentot ARme."
But as soon as the tom-tom resumed
It's rymthmical, sensous boom
The same undulations and twists and
gyrations
Enlivened the tropical gloom!
In the land of the Bashi Bazonks
Where they dance in the manner Of
snakes,
With many culver and shudder and
SILVER
And a shocking assortment OF
shakes,
Whenever a prude happens by,
He cries, with mortified glance:
"No modest young Bulgar would do
things so vulgar;
The law should prohibit this dance!
Pn+ whom ba hos pOne his waV
And the music starts playing once
more,
The shiver of sirews and muscles con-
tinues,
Exactly the same as before.
And so when we listen today
To the strenuous voice of reform,
The statement advancing that up to
date dancing
Is getting a little too warm,
1--we know that the youth of the land
| VIII pause with a plying smile,
land dance more sedately and less
| intimately,
| But when they've reformed ~ a
while.
| From Zanzibar, Afghanistan,
Or Bankok, Belize or Brazil,
Or Greenland or Lapland or China or
Japland
l They'll get a more shocking dance
L still!

WEEKLY SHORT STORY
Edited By Professor Erwin.
FACT OR FICTION.
BY WILLIAM A. LONG.

They were newlyweds, and anyone
could have noted the fact, had they
listened to the sugar-coated conversa-
ton Of the lovers as they nestled to-
gether on the pullman seat. This was
their honeymoon trip. AS the tram
rumbled along, they sat there and liv-
ed, loved and lied, both lost to the
world in lovers sweet enhancing
dream. Soon a sweet and tender voice
broke the monotcny of the clickety-
click of the car wheels.
George, she said.
Eyes, my darling" he replied with
an equal amount of feeling.
"Who do you love more than any
body else in this bad old world?" she
asked, pickering her pink little lips
trifle and arching her eyebrows IN
an expectant manner.
He looked at her with eyes whose
meaning only she could appreciate
~"You, my love, are the only one in
this wide, wide world for me. l love
you more than anybody I've ever SEEN
Tor heard of, and"
"But, George" she quickly inter
rupted, suppose you were to meet
somebody else?"
"Well, my own, suppose l will, but
can never love anybody as | love
you," he answered passionately.
lnen s..yly, and a bit wisttully snt
sad: suppose l were deaf, darling
now woulu ever know you love Inc!

packs. Then turning to his wife, n
tenderly inquired, what will my low

most natural question she could hav

young man.
"No sir, no peaches, only bernana

wares.
"Bernanas, bernanas, grapes, O.

 When Mrs. Wilcox wished to add the last stroke to the punishment of her husband or daughter she always made johnnycake, because she knew they both hated it. As Helen wiped her face and continued sewing she heard a spoon clapping against the sides of the big yellow mixing bowl. Through her fresh trouble trickled sense of painful amusement. She's making big one this time." she thought, land we'll have to eat it, every crumb."
 Behind her the door that led into the hall opened tentatively and her fathers cautious whisper. reached her
