A Revolutionary Puzzle.
These odd rhymes were written In
the early part of the Revolutiouary
war about 1776. If read as written
they are a tribute to the king and his
army, but if read downward on either
aide of the comma they indicate an
unmistakable spirit of rebellion to both
king and parliament The author is
anknown:
Hark, hark the trumpet sounds, the din
of war's alarms
O'er seas and solid (rounds, doth call us
ail to arms,
Who for Kins George doth stand, their
honors soon shall shine.
Their ruin is at hand, who with the con
gress join.
The acts of parliament. In them I much
delight.
X hate their cursed Intent, who for the
congress fight.
The Tories of the day, they are my dally
toast.
They soon will sneak away, who Inde
pendence boast.
Who nonreslstant hold, they have my
hand and heart.
May they for slaves be sold, who act the
Whlggish part.
On Kansfleld. North and Bute, may daily
blessings pour.
Confusion and dispute, on congress ever
more. To North and British lord, may honors
still be done.
I wish a block and cord, to General
Washington.

When the Fairies Are Noisy.
Among the flowers which are said to
be very popular with fairies are blue
bells, harebells and wood sorrel. All
these flowers are used by the fairies to
attract the attention of their friends
who are at a little distance. If you
are ever out in the woods when the
bluebell or wood sorrel begins to peal
in delicate, soft tones you will know
that the little flower Is being sway
ed to and fro by some visiting fairy.
The foxglove, known also as the fairy
bells, are also said to be used by the
fairies for chimes, but when the little
people wish to sound a real resounding
blast that shall awaken from slumber
some tiny friend in a nearby flower
bed or thicket they use not a bell, but
a rose leaf rolled up into a very charm
ing born. Lexington Leader.

Ready Wit.
Many good stories are told of the
"Poet" Craig, for so many years a
familiar figure on the London cricket
and football grounds. On one occa
sion Craig began at the Oval, "Gen
tlemen, this Is my favorite ground,
when some one Interrupted:
"Craig, you said that at Leyton last
week."
"Tes, air" returned the unabashed
poet, "and I shall say it at Canter
bury next week. The ground on
which the noble game Is being played
before an assembly of intelligent and
enlightened purchasers of my poetry
Is always my favorite ground for the
time being."
But Craig knew how to keep an im
pertinent Interrupter In his place.
Once a stout, red faced man broke In
on one of bis speeches with: "Craig,
you're making a lot of money out of
fools. When are you going to set up
apub7"
"When you come and live next door
to me. sir!" was the answer, and the
red faced man turned crimson.
Another man at the Oral once said:
"Now, Craig, tell us how much
you've made out of bad poetry."
"More, I venture to say. sir. than
you've made out of bad manners!"
