She hoped to tnko back, inspiration, en

future. Each fifth meeting is devoted
to parliamentary practice.
If there is a now year book issued by
the executive board o? the state feder
ation, would it not be well to include in
it a printed notice of a proposed chango
in the by-laws by which provision will
be made whereby the corresponding sec
retary will be appointed by the president
instead of elected by tho federation?
That tho president may receive the full
benefit of such a socrettry in the paBt

same city. This change was suggested
at York, but no formal notice given, but
a printed notice as suggested above
would bo sullicient.

tics and foot ball. Several excursions
wero given to the parks. The first week
the grounds were kept open till 7 p. m.
After G p. m. grown people came and
bold Bocial gatherings, which gave rise
to the question whether tho grounds

poem as illustrative of that point:
THE SPOILER.
(After the manner of Rudyard Kipling).
By M. A. Frost and J. H. Caverno.
A woman there was and the wrote for the
press
(As you or I might do).
She told how to cut and fit a dress.
And how to stew many a savory mew,
But she had never done it herself, a guess
Oh, the hour we spent, and the flour we
spent, i
And the sugar we wasted like sand,
At the hest ol a woman who never had
cooked
(And now we know that she never could
cook),
And did not understand.
A woman there was and she wrote rteht
fair
(As you or I might do),
How out of a barrel to make a chair,
To be covered with chint and stuffed with
hair,
'Twould adorn any parlor and give it an
air!
(And we thought the tale was true).
Oh, the days we worked, and the ways we
worked
To hammer and saw and hack,
In making a chair in which no one would
sit,
A chair in which no one could possibly sit.
Without a crick in his back.
A woman there was and she had her fun
(Better than you and I);
She wrote out recipes and she never tried
one;
She wrote about children-of course she
had none
She told us to do what she never had done
(And never intended to try).
And it tsn't to toil and It isn't to spoil
That brim j the cup to disgrace
It's to follow a woman who didn't know
beans
(A woman who never had cooked any
beans),
But wrote and was paid to fill space.
