phases of the allied improvement.

The promotors of the proposed dredging of the Iroquois river are now talking of carrying the work f down the river as far as the bridge two miles southwest of town.

Mosquito Musketry. • Slap! Slifp!. Slap! It sounds like artillery’s sinister snap! Over the front porch, back on the stoop. Out ‘neath the trees where the sufferers troop. You hear it, while fervently it floats through the air Quite distinct from a prayer. The echoes come back from all points of the map— Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Each insect so wily evaded the trap! Forth In the straight, scudding away, He’s back in a trice to bring greatest dismay. The wound he inflicted himself to amuse, You have turned to a bruise Still the villian pursues. An.d his song rises shrill o’er the din of the scrap— Slap! Slap! . Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! In slumbers of midnight or afternoon nap, In the hall bedroom, pr out on the lawn, ' With eager stiletto relentlessly drawn. Outstinging e’en gossip, he brings greater dread Than the things w« are led To think somebody said, All attention is flxed .on a . eommon mishap— .-*•■»-<*snwx*xri Slap! Slapt -Slapl
