THE SHAWNEE HSHALT) SUNDAY, AUGUST 22, 1909
THE SHAWNEE HERALD
NO BOND OF SYMPATHY.
An earthquake I have never met
While strolling down tue pike,
Nor am 1 curious a bit
To know what they are like.
I wouldn't care to call ono down
Or try its wrath to stem,
If they will just let me alone
I'll do as much for them.
Some foolish people might desire
An earthquake for a pet,
But that would not appear to me
To be the one best bet.
I'd rather have a poodlo dog
To follow me around
Than havo the very finest quake
That ever shook the ground.
An earthquake is so very rude;
111 mannered is no name
For all the capers that it cuts
In working out its game.
When it has In a reckless mood
Mussed up some special spot
The owner of the place observes
His house won't fit his lot.
Experience is very fine—
It helps a man along—
But I will pass the eartnquake up
And take some not so strong.
If in advance I can but know
Where it will run amuck
I'll tako my family and my grip
And make a graceful duck.
The ladies of the Catholic church
will servo dinner and supper, Ice
cream and cold drinks at tho Labor
Day picnic at (Jan. Park, September
6th.
Arrangements for the big Wood-
men picnic which will be held at Ben-
son Park, Sept. 22, aro progressing
rapidly and invitations will be Bent
to the various degree teams through-
out the stato to participate in com-
petitive drills on that date.
Evening picnic parties are proving
to be all tho "go" among Shawnee
society people the past week, and
<?ach night several parties ran be
seen enjoying the)- repast at differ-
ent parts of tho park. Tho prolonged
hot spell can be directly charged up
with the very few Indoor parties that
have been held recently. The cool
breezes afforded by tho trolley ride to
and from Bonsou afford additional en-
joyment. Since the completion of llu5
roller coaster and its opening to tho
public it has been the chief diversion
for throngs of young people on sul-
try evenings. The number of picinc
parties at the park composed of Te-
cumseh young people has greatly in-
creased of late.

lightful picnic at Benson Park Friday

Joyed trips on the new roller coaster

An amusing feature of the evening
was the mixing of picnic delicacies
belonging to a party from Tecumseh
with those of the Shawnee young la-
dies. both of which had been checked
