Flies

They say that everything on
earth was made for purpose
wise; there's nothing that's de-
void of worth-but what's the
good of flies? They keep their
merit so concealed we can't
discern the same, the while our
swatting stick we WELD, and
cuss the endless game. All,
happy thought perhaps the
flies were dumped upon the
land that we might have some
exercise, swatter in each
hand. That may explain it, in
which case, let's make the COM
bat hot; enjoy the pleasures of
the chase, and swat, and swat,
and swat! Now is the time to
swat them hard, before they get
too thick; pursue them through
the house and yard. and soak
them with a brick. The fly that
now escapes its doom will rear
a countless brood; so let no fly
sidestep the tomb-on with the
deadly feud! Rise then, O slug
gard, from your chair. from
lounge and downy cot! Go
forth, all brave and debonair,
grid up your loins and swat!
Let no foul fly escape your
search. If ones left on the
floor, that fly will lead bride
to church, and raise ten million
more. So take your hauberk
and your helm, and like knight
arise; put on your greaves and
overwhelm about ten thousand
flies. WALT MASON.

origin Of Sea Serpent.

Professor Darcy Thompson. during
the course of recent lecture at the
London Royal institute. said that he
had no doubt that the cuttle-iSh was
the strange beast which the ancipnts
had named the sea serpent. They
must have seen It during one of Its
playful gamhols, and have mistaken
its wedge-shapcd tail for the head Of
the serpent, and the end of one of its
enormously long arms for the tip Of
the serpents tail.
No story of ogre. giant or witch
was more strange and terrifying than
the Cuttle.Ash or octopus. Nevprthe-

canarieS to pick at, and for lawyers to
clean MP parchment. It was also used
to polish the doors of carriages.
