The Best Rhymes

{ ■ mx • FINE DISPLAY OF TALENT. After reading through several hundred rhymes, there seems to ■ be no doubt that there is plenty of >- local talent. Careful consideration 1 has been given to the structure of the verses, as well as the human feeling underlying the various ; compositions, and after all, it must be candidly admitted that the best rhymes are not in favour..of local trading. The winning verses are printed hereunder in order of merit: — First— , "Lows' sell for Less," There's simply no denying? You can't buy cheap in local stores, So what's the use of trying? Second— Go to Lows' the farmer cried, Where you get the best sup- , plied, Cornsacks sell at Is 4d; Why buy here and pay far more ? Third— "May I win five pounds, please mister,/ ■ , For my little baby sister Needs a bonnet and some clothes B-b-but she says to go to 'Lows' "Lows'" Fourth— 1 * Little B-£—— one night Thought to make his prices , right," In his glee the other day, What-he earned he gave away. Consolation! Prizes— , " Seems to me," said little Willie "AlLthis talk is very silly, 'Praps it is—the more's the ' pity, "Still, I'm dealing with the city' "Don't you know," said Aunt Maria As she kindled .up tlw ftc<\ .•■...

Now the burning pain still lin- . ,'- gers. -~ The fact that such a gratifying response, has been made to the request for rhymes, no doubt further competitions will be held ■■'.;• along similar lines. -. 39
