For the Fish Pan.

My family is very fond Of broiled
mackerel, but the pleasure is lost for
the cook with the thought of washing

suggested laying the fish on a common

on the broller. The result was Il

not see to be the process of construc-

offer Sisters beau a cigar and TO treat

When Boreas snorts his bitter blast
And every blood corpuscle shiyers.
When blow and blizzard follow fast
And blot out fields and hills and
rivers,
When every twig is rigid,
When every breath falls frigid,
And even the noOn-day pales and
quakes and shivers;
Oh! then 1 fain would spend the day
In pitching corn and hoeing hay,
Or following the reaper on it's way,
When earths equator slips her
waist
And burns across the zone I dwell
in,
When Satan tires of where he's
placed
And takes our town to start a
hell in.
When every tree is torching,
When every vein Is scorching,
And even the simmering seas a
place to jell in;
Oh! then I'd spend an hour or SO
To fight the iceberg and the foe.
And track down Arctic bears across
the snow!

I got out my cane.
And green fuzzy hat.
And went down on Broadway.
To mingIe with the actors.
Who decided to go on strike.
And after tripping over
"Poms" and 'Pekes."
On silver and gold ieashes.
I turned up a side street.
And stood around on the curb.
And leaned against a lamp-post.
And twirred my cane.
And a policeman came up
And told me to move on.
So I circled the block
And came back to the Astor.
And stood under the canopy.
And another policeman came up.
And invited me to move on.
And IL there is anything.
That do promptly.
It is mind a policeman.
And so I went up a few blocks.
And stood in front OF the Globe.
And looked nonchalant
And before very long.
A plain clothes man.
Flashed a silver badge.
And said he had orders.
To keep striking actors.
On the move all the time.
So thanked him.
And walked away.
And it just goes to show.
What a cane.
And a green fuzzy ha'.
VIII do for a guy.
And so in a few days.
I'm going to get
A trick belted coat
And some mauve spats.
And a robins egg blue tie.
And I'll bet.
I break into the newspapers.
Before I get home.
With my picture.
And everything.
All you need in New oYrk.
To become famous.
Is a good tailor.
And a monocle.
And n press agent.
And wait for something.
