The w ndmlll

Might learn to dance and sing.
I'd like to be a June-bu
Adjoining on his way
From flower cup to flower cup,
With no one to obey.
I'd find myself pale pink rose
And twang my dulcimer;
She might not be so virtuous
When ! got thru with her!
I'd like to be a robin,
Awning from dawn TIL dark
I'd strut about in rich mems yards
And boss the palace park,
And If the royal cat came forth
To dare me with arrest,
I'd seek the pretty princess out
And nestle on her breast!
But / work in an office
With weary walls around.
You daren't say your souls your own.
The very books are bound.
So everything / think about
Is uncontrolled and free.
I'd like to be most anything
That hid It's liberty r. r.

last that long.
TEMPERATURES.
Knee deep in June, you start to spoon
With Myrtle or with Mary.
She turns you down and. bins! you're
back
knee-deep In January.
Many president mends his politi-
cal fences with cabinet post.
Professor Pickering, of Harvard,
informs us that 1t is now showing on

The census bureau gives the ,popu-
lation Of New York City as 5,62l, 151.
But New Workers. say the census

The next step from these barrel

GROVER C. JINx
Grover c. Jinx was a pacitist,
For him the country was secured
And when he was caught he gallantly
fought
For the right to remain a coward.
Answering food of inquiries from

and contemplate the pleasant calm
and sweet peace which DISTINGUISHES
our own politics.

She adored little fun;
In fact, she loved Joke so much
