What Jack Overheard In the Pantry.
"Please shut the door, the pepper cried. "It's chilly in this pot." "Now, that is strange to come from you, Who always aro too hot." "The bread told me a piece of news. 'Twas such a funny tale." "Then don't repeat it," said the cake, "For she is always stale. " "Dear me!" the potted ham exclaimed, "The knife looks had enough." "Yes," said the oil, "he's cut the meat Because it was so tough. " "How noblo Mr. Lobster^ looks!" The little pancake cried. "Why, he was once right in the 'swim, ' " The pumpkin pie replied. "Well, " said the clam between his shells, With a resounding whoop, "That's better than the oyster, For he's always in 'the soup.' " Just then tho heavy pantry doors ' Were shut to with a slam, For Jack heard mamma coming, And ho was in the jam. —New Orleans Times-Democrat.
