The Centipede
[BF centipede was happy quite Until the frog for fun Said " Pray which leg goes after which?" Which wrought his mind to such a pitch He lay distracted in a ditch Considering how to run! * * * Youngster’s Class Friend: Isn’t your son rather young to join the army? Mother: Yes, but he’s only in the Infantry. = ‘ » Spring Cleaning HE beautiful Finnish ship Pamir, which we have kept as a prize of war, is on the Wellington dock being cleaned and overhauled. * * * One Life Lost EFORE the war, when the Cumberland was taking our frozen meat ‘to England, a cat strayed into one of the ship’s refrigerating rooms. She stayed there for forty-two days and when she was discovered she hadn’t a hair on her back. However, she only seemed to have lost one of her lives, because she grew a new and beautiful coat, had lots of kittens and became a closely guarded pet of the ship’s crew.
