THE EXTRA DAY.

One day q philosophic guy
Looked up and saw while passing by
An old maid sitting on a stone
Who voiced this tear-provoking moan
I've seen a lot Of leap years come,
I've seen them pass away;
To me they're just like common years
But for that extra day
And every leap year I've lived through
Has made me sick and sad
Because OF all the leap year jokes,
Indifferent and bad
For none is gOod-th0se silly jests
Quadrennially they yank
To make our happy little world
DiscOnsolate and dank
They never change, those wheezes DID,
They don't improve with age;
Especially this time OF year
They're found on every page.
Sometimes they're illustrated with
The drawing Of some boob
Pursued by some designing dame
Proposing to the rube.
I've lived In single blessedness
For years, yes, quite a few,
And / have yet TO see the man
Who's worth proposing to-
And though I've Travelled far and wide
I've never never met
A real old maid who's pulled this leap
Year stunt man to get.
No old maid needs TO WOO a man
For somewhere on this sphere
For every dame there is a man
Who'll gladly call her dear.
And when she finds her soul-mate she
VIII find no need 10 ask
Because 10 make the simp propose
Is just a simple task.
The old maid turned a lans'rous eye
Bp0n this phjlOsophic guy
And said: "Ive hunted long for you
Whereat he quickly turned and flew.

The British Olympic Council has
at last made definite move to-
awrds the organization of a team of
athletes to represent the country
at the Olympic games to be held at
Antwerp next July and August, and
the king, a true lover of all manly
sports, has headed the subscription
list with a donation of 100 pounds.
The council under the presidency
of Lord Downham. is asking the pub
lie to subscribe 10000 pounds, one
quarter of which it is proposed to
apply for the purpose Of defraying
the expenses Of the athletes who
VIII be selected to go to Antwerp.
While it is gratifying to know that
a determined effort is ito be made to
be made to equip a British team, it
is much to be feared that the effort
comes rather late. There is very
little time to find and develop new
talent and it looks as though we
must depend entirely upon our al
ready.tried athletes
We have some magnificent ath-
letes who may be depended upon to
uphold the honor of the country in
their particular branches of sport
but we are sadly deficient in first
class men for the majority of the
field events, with the exception, per-
Laps, of jumping. Our chances in
the Pentathlon and Decathlon, the
walking and the hurdles appear hope
less.
