BINNY KORAS.
WE have a feeling that we're going to
achieve affectionate regard for Binny Koras
He is as expressive as John V. A. Weaver and
mot that we're Influenced by it, he fills up a
lot of cOlyum space.

He got his mouth full of water and stran-

succeeded in bringing him to shore. He
soon rallied.
THE weather forecaster refuses to admit
that it rained yesterday. According to his
scientific deductions no rain was scheduled for
this vicinity, therefore those who thought it
rained merely deluded themselves.
AND. by the same token, the three boys

~THE LOTUS METRES.
Let us build a lattice Lotus
Close to where the tide will float US
Far out upon the Vastly deep to some fair treas
ure isle
Let US build a little lattice
Tricky hung with sweet clematis
And there we'll linger, Lotus, and forget the
world awhile.
Let us build a lattice Lotus
Where all day dear, blows the Notas:
Build one so high that none except the rno-,n
may hope to climb.
Let build a little lattice
Where the whole wide world is GRATIS 4
nd somehow, somewhere Lotus we shall IL
reach the heights sublime
Let US build q lattice, lotus, Y
Up SO high no one WIZ notice
Your fairy gown, your wondrous charms nor
see your golden hair.
All aglow the golden lattice
(Where the sun god can't get at us)
ike some giant ig'niS fatuuS that iz
ever there
Farewell to our lattice Lotus L,
To a day-dream that near smote Ms. |!
lis built so far upon the heights twill never
need repair. eA
Now we've finished with our lattice
That the gods so swift begat us
Shall we rent it-or let Romeo possess II for
