WINTER NIGHTS.

w as all honest men admit when
it comes. half 'ozen creatures
are inclined to throw fit. When big
chunks Of snow are whir,ing on tho
bosom OF the blast, and the blizzard
comes a-blirzing. people sigh and say.
"Dod Cast" But for all the beastly
weather there is recompense at night,
when we camp around together by the
crate fire, glowing bright, Father
sits and reads story, and he chor,les
as he rocks; mothers feeling hunky-
dory, while she darns n paioOf socks:
and Me little sons and daughters
play around until they're tired; they
have put away the swatters that the
summertime required. Their, are
sounds Of Joyous laughter there 10
happiness galore, though the tempest
shakes the rafter and comes pounding

THE CAvEMAN'S COMEBACK.

The cave man chap would stage scrap
To slay his nearest ncighbor,
That he might seize with greater ease
The fruits OF tother's labor.
He swung club against the dub
Whose woman reused his ardor.
And by her hair he dragged her where
lie cooked and kept his larder.
In homicide he felt pride.
And gaily did his killing.
Nor felt remorsc or something worse
For gore that he was spilllng,
Bu, common sense through skulls quite dense
Al last made some impression,
And laws were made which slowly stayed
His iayorlte DEPRESSION.
And from that age historic page,
Or tablet or papyrus
Relates mans gam .on land and main
In manner to inspire rs.
Or so II was until the cause
OF bolSheyiSm started,
And those who heed its fatciul screed
From common sense departed
Again in part the cave mans ar.
Appears to start ructOn.
And roughnecks ycarn to slay and burn
Which won't increase production.
