Therefore, it is pointed out, tho yearly "keep” of the crow costs tho nation more than did the army or navy for any one of the 116 years prior to the World War—figures allow.

The clock in the steeple strikes one; You said you were coming home from the shop, As soon as your day's work was done. Our fire has gone out—our house is all darjf, And mother's been watching since tea, With poor brother Benny so sick in her arms, And no one to help her but me. Come home! com,- home! come home! Please, father, dear father, come home. Hear the sweet voice of the child Which the night winds repeat us they roam! Oil who could resist tills most plaintive of prayers? “Please, father, dear father, come home?" Father, dear father, come homb. witli me now! The clock in the steeple strikes two; The night has grown colder, and Benny Is worse— But he has been calling for you. Indeed he is worse —Ma says he .will die, Perhaps before morning shall dawn And this Is the message she sent me to bring — “Come quickly, or he will be gone.” Come home! come home! come home! Please, father, dear father, come home. Father, dear feather, come home, with me now! The clock in the steeple strikes three; The bouse is so lonely- the hours are so long For poor weeping mother and me. Yes. we are alone —poor Benny is dead. And gone with the angels of light; And these are the very last words that he said—‘l want to kiss Papa good night.” Come home! come home! come
