\ HITE WAY HAPPY DAYS. OOD NEWS to little children— ‘The winter-time is near, The frost is on the pumpkin, The chilblain’s on the ear; The wheat has long been garnered, 3 Long faded is the rose, And while outdoors it snows, it blows, The world it blows its nose. Good news to little children— It’s time for rubber boots And worsted mitts and ear-tabs And woolen union suits. The snow gets in your boot tops, And snowballs black your eye, So hip, hurrah, my children! The wintertime is nigh! URGES JOMNSON. QUIZ CLASS. How many make a mil- ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Amateur Poet—It is perfectly proper to say that bees wallow in the flowers, and naturally they become wallowers by that act; but this does not justify the rhyme in your lines: days. “The busy little wallowers Now seek the budding flowers,’" Wallowers and flowers cannot be made to rhyme to the ear, how- ever perfectly they may seem to rhyme to the eye.

The only volume think of at the present moment is Macaulay's “Lays of nt Rome,” which deals rather with scrambles than with the egys themselves. Nevertheless, it is good reading for a rainy day. Unhappy—You say that the young lady to whom you were en- el all summer at the Mountain House passed you on the street © oie euyth Nor s snug asa bug in a rug *—bosh TRUE. | in New York the other day with a look of cold disdain in her eye, refusing utterly to recognize you, and you wish to know what this means. We have submitted this question to our private fortune- teller and palmist, and, after consulting the stars, she says the heavens tell her that it means that your engagement is broken, Humanitarian—This good lady asks us if we think scolding does any good. It all depends on what you wish to accomplish. Scolding, for instance, won't get any work out of a stubborn mule, unless you blow him up with a can of dynamite, This will cure his stubbornness, but it is a method that requires a lot of disagreeable cleaning up afterward.

MEMBER of the Cabinet was approached the other day in Washington by a disappointed and disgruntled office-seeker, who said, “Mr. Secretary, where is all that new Republican pros- perity that you were going to give us?" “ Why,’? replied the secretary, a little piqued, ‘it is every- where, Labor is being employed; capital is becoming active; pros- perity is striking out in every direction.”” “Well, it hasn't struck me y snapped the disgruntled one testily. “You see," replied the secretary, ‘* it is pretty hard to hit nothing."* IN DANGER OF A COLD. tainly is a draught coming in somewhe comicbooks.com
