When the Last Plate Glass Has Been Broken.
(With apologies to Kudyard Kipling),
When the last plate glass has been broken and the last loose stone has been shied, And our staunehest antagonist venquised, and all votes to an apronstring tide, We shall rest, and., faith, we shall need it—sit down tor a minute or two Until we can gather our senses and find something startling to do.
And those who were clubbed shall be happy ; they shall sit in a golden chair, And tell to their less favoured sisters how they fought the policemen for tair. They shall talk of their deeds of valour and record them in history's book, While the dethroned lords of creation are trying to learn how to cook. Mary Dann in " Judge," New York.
