No. 33.— TERMINAL DELETION. 



We gazed at the ship's tall sides as she glides, 

 With her nose pointed out of the bay. 



Three time tlew two fast as the moments passed,. 

 For my sailor was going away! 



I one by the storm-tossed sands with my hands 

 Pressed to eyes filled with tears and the 

 spray, 



As they bore a form through the blinding storm,. 

 For my sailor has gone away!

SEVENTEEN HIDDEN 

 VEGETABLES,' 



A woman chewed gum bought at a corner 

 grocery, and then hid it in that urn I put ort

 A bee tickled her nose, as an ape appeared' 

 from behind some boxes (the woman's name- 

 was Mrs. Carr). O! then you should have 

 heard her scream. Her purchases she put in 

 an old bag. She called it "A scab bag entirely," 

 and said she got it in Boston. I only laughed 

 at her, and in a trice she squashed me with a 

 look. She wanted a drink — a lemonade would

 slow (I was sleek those days), and punched a 

 hole in the pail with a pair of Pars nippers, and 

 lost all the water. The old lady thought she

 you good." "Tomboy.-"

TRIPLE CHARADE. 



A dainty little Primal, 

 Tossing her last so fair. 



Went dancing to the forest 

 To gather Totals there. 



Her One was at a distance. 

 She heard the vdld beasts bay; 



No friend to Two off danger. 

 As she Total took her wav. 



3. She met some One while roaming. 

 And lost her Two, they say. 

 But gaily laughed at gloaming— 

 She'd found a Total gay.
