If one could take the gifted men Who do the weather guessing, . And choke the daylights out of them, We think 'twould be a blessing. At early morn we read the Probs., Which says 'twill pour to -day; We wear a waterproof, begobs, And the rain fades away. The sun will shine next day we read, And with a faith that's childlike, We wander down in summer garb, Expecting weather mildlike. Of course, it rains, or else there's snow! With rage and passion foaming, With soaking feet when work is through We go home in the gloaming. You'd think sometimes they'd get it right, That sometimes they'd see through it, Perchance their souls are filled with spite, And we, alas! must rue it. One only safe course to pursue, Is get the Probs. and read 'em ; .And after you have read 'em through, Why, ctlrefully don't heed 'em. • rouehs. colds, hoarseness, and other throat ailments are quickly relieved by Cresolene tablets. ten cent:; nor box.
