THE RAINY DAY. .. . (Original.) » .. Pit-a pat-a falls the rain Down upon the roof. Now it stops, and comes again, Down upon the roof. Hpar the wind, as It blows Round about the house; 1 See tho cold, white, .winter snows, Round about the house. List 1 the chashing thunder Away up In tho skies, And dark clouds torn asunder Away up in the skies. "LA ROSE MOUSBEUSE" (14). Wansanui. THE BEST JOB. My dad declares there's nothlnc finer Than being captain of a liner; Hut 1 would like to drive a tank, And be an officer by rank. And lead my men, In brave array. Undaunted, into every f ray. Dad fired machino-guns in the war— A thing he'd never done before— lie says—and I expect . .he's right.—. That I should hate a proper fight. For after., all. Dad knows, For he lias been an officer, yoti see. "Just choose a peaceful job. my son." Says Dad. "for fighting isn't fun." So maybe, if there's nothing finer, I'll lie tho captain of • liner.

THE FAIRY'S HOUSE. Out in tho meadow In the tallest grass. There lives a fairy In a house of glass. She has silver slippers And silver wings, And when sho is happy She always sings. Her house she has furnished With very great care. It's a place of delight To all who go there. She has rose-petal frocks And bright blue lace, And a little pink sunbonnet That hides her face. So when you're walking Through the grass, Bo sure you don't tread On this house of glass. "GREAT GREEXFEATHER" (11). Johnson ville. "FORGET-ME-NOT." When first Dame Nature named the flowers Somehow she passed one by. And never noticed it at . all Until she heard it cry. She turned and saw tho blue-eyed maid. Whose name sho had forgot And ns her stock nf names were done, And feeling sorry for this one. Called her "Forget-mc-not." And thus it Is. This sweet blue flower Is so called now Until this hour.
