THE TAG-HUNTERS' FAIR GOING.

Priacllla'a going to the Fair with coupons saved from soap. Evangeline with trade-marks cut from Grafter’s Shredded rope; When Margaret geta wrappers from a hundred thousand bars Of Grandma’s Washing Wonder she will board the choo-choo cars. Fair Deborah cuts coupons from Aunt Dinah's Garden Sana, Two hundred thousand catsup corks earn Margery a pass. A half a million sardine cans win Kvaline a trip. And Sarah’s saving trade-marks from the Sox - that-never-rip.

Maria's saving pickle jars, Sophia’s saving tags, Rebecca’s clipping coupons from the buckwheat tlour bags, Belinda’s counting labels cut from Boostem’s Coffee Tins, And Arabella's one chance lies in Soakem's Sausage, skins. The house is treasure trove with cans, corks, coupons, labels, tags, With tins, stamps, trade-marks, wrappers, bottles, boxes, bands and bags, From basement floor to attic roof the place Is stored with trash. • For they are saving everything unless it may be cash.

They’ve set apart a day for folks who do the Fair on tags, Corks, coupons, wrappers, labels, boxes, trade-marks, bands and bags; F'rom East and vVest, from North and South the tag-brigade will March, With labels cut from soap, gum, flour, tea, coffee, prunes and starch; But woe is me! I have a fear not one of them will see The harvest of world’s wonder’s there displayed for you and me. For interest in such displays, however gorgeous flags Unless they hold some promise out of furnishing more tags! New- York Times,
