fire and the explosion of her magazine at
an early hour last Monday morning

This little town, vthich has suddenly

of the recent war, had spent a quiet Sun.
day, peace having been established. Sev­
eral warships were in the harbor and
they presented an object of pride, but the
quiet slumber of the night, while the
people were dreaming of peace after an
unparalleled series of vic ories, was vio­
lently d sturbed a little after midnight
by a terrific explosion ac companied by
a severe shock.
An eager crowd assembled on the
coast, only to discover that a terrible
death had overtaken the beloved Mikasa,
the flagship of the great Togo, w ho had

Words are power,

The absence of Admiral Togo from the
ship at the time of the explosion and the

the only redeeming features of the un­

sympathy toward the unfortunate suf

Maud Muller on a summer’s day.
Set a hen in a brand new way,
(Maud you see was a city girl.)
She covered a box with tinsel gay,
Lined it snugly with new-mown hay,
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for a likely hen.
Out of the flock she selected one,
And then she thought her work wasdone;
It would have been, but the stubborn hen
Stood up and cackled “Ka-doot,” and
then
Maud Muller came and with pained sur
prise
Looked coldly into the creature’s eyes,
Then tied his legs to the box. “You bet.”
Said She, “I know how to makeyou set.’’
But still it stood worse and worse
Shrieked forth its wrongs to the universe.
Turned over the box with the tinsel gay
And ignominiously flapped away.
Then a bad boy over the barnyard fence
Te heed, “Say, Maud, there’s a difference
’Tween hens, you know, and it is that
One says ‘Ka-doot!’ and one ‘Ka-dat!’ ”
Then Maud recalled that the ugly brute
She had tried to set had said “Ka-doot!”
And ever since that historic day
She blushes in an embarrassed way.
To think of the hobble she made once
when
She tried to set a gentleman hen.
