«PAGE TWELVE ' WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1920 * When the Teacher Came to Tea. / {Crawt. C. Black) Spun We hired a brand new teacher, and Belinda said to me; - | "It you'll try and have some manners 1 will ask her in to tee," » i She allowed I had some manners and © could feign a pleasng way, But sald, somebow, when visitors came I started to get gay : She 'said # I would promise at the table not to swear, perry And take off my greasy overalls and wash, and comb my hair, Put on a tie and collar and not look and act a fright, would have our gin Lucinda ask her home with her some night. She " Since Helinda took to voting, it was : yery plain to see, She'd adopted reconstruction, was starting in on me. . Now to check domestic friction why I bowed to her request, And I said I'd dress the swellegt, and act the very best ; That is, if she would promise that she © wouldn't start and greet fhe teacher, with excuses "bout the stuff she'd have to eat; That she wouldn't foam and fury and » say everything was bad, That "seh horrid luck at cooking _she was sure she never had." and Furthermore I made her promise she would try and have a heart; And not keep the teacher lying 'bout ! our children bein' smart; That when Mary played the organ she wouldn't up and say That she never had a person to teach her how to play; That she wonldn't say that Johnny, who was rather full of jokes, Got all bis wit and wisdom from her father and her folks. She agreed that ghe would vary from the average wolsan's way, That about domestic matters she'd > have nothing for to say. Then I said it was a bargain; I would bé a model man. + Bo she started in to tidy up the house : and cook and plan. She got a dress made over and she asked me how it hung ? If it didn't make her figure look more maiden-like and young ? » I said it was a dandy and a perfect fit, But to be directy honest, say I didn't fancy it ; It was frilled, and tucked, and pleat- od, had some tassels hanging 'round ; It was wanting at the shouders and more wanting at the ground. With Belinda's plans completed and the prospects looking bright, Why the teacher, looking flashy, came home wit} Bis one night The table looked enticing. There were fruits and cakes galore, And a lot of china dishes which 1 never saw before, Wife was all dolled up and powder- A AR tn ed, looking like a city belle ; onoe was looking swell. I had polished up my manners, and when we sat down to tea, A more stylish looking couple you would very seldom see, We talked of books and authors, and rehearsed the latest news; 1 discovered that the teacher. had - SOME Darrow party views. 1 learned she was & stalwart of a deep-dyed panty clan And the daughter of a lawyer, a chap who also ran. ; But things were going smoothly, un- ; til she up and said, i That the country would be ruined with "Hayseeds" at the head; She said they were not capable of managing the reins, And told me plain and flatly, that they did not have the brains, Here my manners all went winging, for I sure was boiling mad, And I hit back at that teacher, giv- ing her the best I had. . Then I said: "You brat persuader, do you for a moment think That the brains of this great country are employed in slinging ink ? Don't you ever get to thinking that, . thve man behind the plow 4 Ain't got brains enough to legislate or even to learn how. . It you do," 1 said, "my lady, you're a consummated fool, Not a Mt and proper person for to teach a puldic school." Then there wag a verbal warfare for Balinda went for me, And the teacher got so nervous that i fhe over-turned her tea | Right 'in her lap ahd napkin, and the stuff was boiling hot, And I never learned particular if it scalded her or not. When Balinda burst out crying, started for the kitchen door, Her chair it caught the table cloth and dragged things to the floor. The teacher made her exit, and a hurried one at that, Didn't stop to get her wardrobe, didn't even get her hat. As I think the matter over yinced no montal mim, Though assisted by a woman, can make perfect any plan. We may scheme and plan with wis- dom, yet our best is insecure, Though the bud may be of promise, yet the flower may not mature; Though the dawn may bring us laugh- er, yet with all, as mid-day nears, There may rise dark clouds of an- guish, turn the twilight into tears; © hough we use our best endeavor, strive to battle stealthy' fate, Joys sometimes are turned to sor- "row, love is sometimes turned to hate. nes = con- CHEAPER THAN CARPETS BEAVER BRAND . .

The complete independence of Ireland, which involves secession, is, something which cannot con- templated." It is not an imaginable | alternative to this scheme. There will, under the government's pro- posals be two parliaments for Ire- | land, one for the North and another | for the South. They will have aniple powers, including control of such matters as education, labor, housing, local government, rallways and mu- nicipal affairs. 2 i iS !
