AN UNCONTROLLED COMMODITY.

1 here ain't no weather trust as yet, to make a feller pay For all the gladness he can get out of a sunny day; They’ve got the trusts iu everything—we meet them everywhere— Some trusts take toll on all weeatfor read, or drink, or wear; But. thank the Lord, they haven't schemed to corner sunshine yet, Nor have they fixed it so's we'd have to pay for gettiu' wet. Why. I enjoy a good hard raiu; I like to hear it swish An' ripple down the window pane—l love it like a fish! I know it brlqgs the blossoms out on valley, plain an' hill— An' they ain't trust made nor controlled, au’ I can see ’em still; An' I don't care, when summer comes, if it gets broilin' hot, Because there ain't no weather trust a holdin'each wapnipot. There ain't no weather trust—that's why the sunshine feels so good; Nobody owns the bi* blue sky—au' couldn't if they would; An'every bloom looks fair tome—no matter where it blows; Because It's mine to smell an' see. I don't care where It grows. Oh, this old world might just as well get ready for a bust About the time some feller tries to form a w eather trust. —Baltimore American.
