CONSISTENCY
"Wealth is a flop," the philosopher said,
"In the language philosophers use,
A man who can think would far sooner be dead
Than a prey to the 'Billionaire Blues'.
No man is content when he's driven by greed
To battle and hurry and strife
For nothing but gold. It is better to leal
A calm, intellectual life."
"The dough is the hoakum," the poet declared,
"No fortune is ever secure.
I have made up my mind, that as long as I'm spared
I shall always be happy and poor.
What profits a man all his struggle and toil
For money he never can spend, ' s
When a deep little grave in some six feet of soil '
Is all he will have in the end?"
"Money," the socialist yelled, "is but dross.
When our lovely red flag is unfurled
And the nations of earth have a socialist boss
There won't be a cent in the world.
We only will toil for the joy of the work;
We'll' banish all trouble and wrong;
No man shall be driven, and no one shall shirk
And life will be one grand sweet song."
'The philosopher, poet and socialist sold
Their words we have quoted a few
For money detested and valueless gold
To an editor man that they knew. ;
The things that they said they would never retract;
They came from their hearts blazing hot; ,
Yet nevertheless it's a curious fact

. A Brave Gentleman,
Mrs. Ladybug didn't know that
the frog she saw was a very timid
fellow. His name was Mr. Cricket
Frog. He liked to sit on a lily pad
and sing, and his singing sounded
a good deal like the music that
Chirpy Cricket made. In fact, that
was the reason tor his odd name.
Mr. Cricket Frog had a trick not

fish, or any other enemy came near
him, if he hadn't time to hide in
the mud at the bottom of the pond,
Mr. Lricket frog played dead. He
would float in the water as if life
less, until his enemy had gone off
about his business.
He was so timid this Mr. Cnicket
Frog that when he saw a stranger
ne woum sometimes play dead. And
that was exactly what, happened

water and float. She couldn't see
him climb out upon the lily pad again
and gaze at her.
Now the moment Mrs. Ladybug
looked at the frog the second timo
he took fright anew. Once more he
sprang from his seat. Once more he
floated like a chip upon the surface
of the pond. Once more he crawled
back to his seat after he had made
up his mind that the danger had
passed.
So they played dead for a long
time both Mrs. Ladybug and Mr.
Cricket Frog. And it he hadn't at
last made up his mind that she wa'
afraid of him, they might still b
trying to fool each other.
"Pardon me, madam," Mr. Cricket
Frog called to Mrs. Ladybug. "I
see you're a bit timid. I assure, you
I (hall not harm you."
At that Mrs. Ladybug opened her
eyea and looked at him. Slowly she
thrust her feet out from under her
body. And then she tried her wings.
They were as good as ever. Her
fall had not injured them.
"You gave me a terrible fright,"
Mrs. Ladbug told him.
Mr. Cricket Frog was very bold
now.
"Why were you afraid of me?" he
asked her. "Do I look fierce?" he
inquired with a hopeful smile, as if
he hoped that he did. but scarcely
dared think so.
"I'm afraid of all frogs," Mrs.
Ladybug explained. "Now, there's
Ferdinand Frog "
"A rascal," Mr. Cricket Frog
cried. "But, madam, I'm not in the
least like him. I wouldn't hurt you.
In fact, I'd protect you."
His words pleased Mrs. Ladybug.
She said that thereafter she would
always feel safe, with him in the
neighborhood. ' .
Mr. Cricket Frog bowed gallantly,
with his hand on his heart.
And Mrs. Ladybug went away
without guessing that he had himself
played dead because he had been in
terror of her.
"What a brave gentleman he is'
Mrs. Ladybug murmured. ,
