HUMOROUS 
It you saw a pink pug puppy playing ping- 
pong with a pig. 
Or a great gray goose a-golflng with a 
goat, 
Would you think it was as funny as a big, 
brown Belgian bunny 
Blowing bubbles with a bishop In a boat? 
If a gormandizing gobbler gobbles goober* 
by the gross, 
Which he pilfered from a peanut peddler’* 
pack. 
Could he earn his absolution by an act of 
restitution 
If he gave the Dago man his full crop 
back ? 
—Cleveland Leader.

tempered a girl may be. there’s always a 
fool ready to marry her. Who’s the poor 
man?” “I am!”—Life.
