plorer, who accompanied Roald Am

THE TOWNSHIP OF WINDEMERE
(By ShOrtfellOw.)

There is a place of sunshine
And now I'll tell you where,
In the northern part of Pine county
TITS "the town of Windemere."
Sturgeon Lake, Kerrick, or Norman,
They never can compare,
With the garden spot of America,
1.-THE town of Windemere".
With all its lakes and lowered woods
And maidens, oh, so fair,
And the many fine summer resorts
In "The town of Windemere."
1t has bachelors, yes few,
But not one millionaire,
That's why everyone is contented
In "The town of Windemere."
Just ask our pretty maidens
If they're mot willing to share
The fate of some lonesome bachelor
In 1.-The town of Windemere."
It's not because we have not seen
The big cities with all their lure;
We want our sunshine and fresh air
In "The town of Windemere."
1t produces lots of firewood,
Lumber, flour, and Smear,
Also some game and fish,
1.-THE town of Windemere."
Now strangers, if this you can't believe
Just come and stay a year,
And I'll wager that you'll never leave
"The town of Windemere."

GOOD NEWS FOR PEDESTRIANS

Once, when you were crossing the street.
And a motor car happened along,
If you weren't very brisk with your feet
You were reused by the clang of a gong
AS the ambulance bore you away
And when they had mended your spine,
scowling judge would say:
'Gross Carelessness; ten dollars fine!"
But now, if you happen to trip
Where the gasoline juggernauts swarm
And car, at a thirty mile clip
Collides with your quiveGng form
You can scarcely suppress a "Hurrah!"
AS forth from the court room you steal
For the man who has broken the law
Is the chap at the motor car wheel
Serene and contented and calm
PUTTING rings from perky cigar,
With never a quake or qualm,
You may stroll right in front of car;
No mere you need dart to and fro
Or or lodging and hopping about
You are up on the rules, and you know
That the motorist has to watch out.
The torture of body and mind
Through many long years 1T requites,
When you waken some morning to find
That pedestrians really have rights.
But in spite of these guaranteed rights
1t is wiser and safer indeed,
To wait till the "Stop" signal lights
And then scoot straight across at full spec

Back-seat driving is tougher in
