NEW RHYMES FOR OLD CHILDREN.

The Lobster.

The lobster is an oblong crab

With one or two antennæ;

I fancy life would be less drab

If people had as many.

I think he uses them to smell,

But what he most enjoys

Is rubbing them against his shell;

It makes a funny noise.

He rubs away like anything,

And you should see his face!

Alas, he thinks that he can sing;

But that is not the case.

He's very sensitive and shy;

At last when he is dead

He knows the truth—and that is why

He goes so very red.

A. P. H.


"Your System appealed to me as a rational means of exercise without undue fatigue, and I started on the 10th of March, 1920. I was then in my 75th year, and now within only two months of completing the 85th."

If he keeps it up he should be a centenarian by about the end of next year. One seems to age rather rapidly under this system.
