MOSQUITO'S TRIP
"Buzz-buzz" said the Mosquito Lead
er “did you ever hear the like of
that?” as he Joined his mate
"Did I ever
hear the like of
WWf what?” asked Mrs
pH Mosquito Leader
N fi “Please -be a HtJ
tie more clear”
vV VjL Jl “Well” said Mr
Mosquito Leader
“I was -having a
fine round of visits
Just night you
1 know”
“Oh we all
were” buzzed the
little mosquitoes
“Yes” said Mrs
Mosquito Leader
“I was having
I Do Relish the some nice adven-
Taste of Ankles tures myself But
you expect ns to
know all about yours without being
told and to see the funny jokes and
know the great battles you won”
“I was a little Impatient” said Mr
Mosquito Leader” “I whs so pleased
by what I heard myself that I wanted
you to be pleased too before you knew
what It was all about”
"That would be quite Impossible”
said the little mosquitoes
"Quite” said Mrs Mosquito Leader
"To be sure” said Mr Mosqultc
Leader
Mr and Mrs Mosquito were called
the Mosquito Leaders because they did
a' great deal of planning and scheming
and leading They always knew the
best places to visit They knew of
nice swamps of nice door-steps where
people sat In the evenings and so they
were usually called the Mosquito Lead-
ers but they were called Mr and Mrs
Mosquito as well
“We will never know about It until
you tell us” said the little mosqui-
toes "I will tell you at once” said Mr
Mosquito
“Do” begged Mrs Mosquito
So Mr Mosquito began "Last night
I was flying about and I saw some
nice looking people sitting on a front
porch
’ "There were such nice people on that
porch as I’ve said before There were
some ladles with thin silk stockings
covering their ankles and what deli-
cious bites I had I How I do relish
the taste' of ankles!
"And there were some boys with
their sleeves rolled up— and as for
their arms! Well m-m-m-m-m- they
were good I
"They tried to catch me of course
But all they did was to give them'
selves the most awful whacks Bow
X did laugh to myself
' “One of them would say Til get
that abominable mosquito I see If
don’t’ They meant me you know
when they spoke of an abominable
mosquito It didn’t hurt my feelings
— nothing hurts my feelings except to
be killed
"Well the great Joke was that they
didn’t get me no matter how hard they
tried Now I was singing softly to
myself and was thinking what I would
have for dessert — another bite of an
anklo of an arm— and whether I would
choose a boy or a girl for my dining
room table I kept singing softly as I
thought when one of the girls said:
You know I went to a concert last
year and they had a piece on the pro-
gram called “The Song of the Mosqut
to” I simply couldn’t enjoy It for it
made me think of horrible mosquito
bites
“Well as you can Imagine I was
pretty proud when I heard that They
may talk about mosquitoes -an they
like but once a
song was written
about us or a
song which sound-
ed a little like
the way we can
sing I Judged
all this from hear-
ing the girl talk
“’And now’ she
sold T hear that
horrible little bus-
sing singing or
whatever It Is call-
ed of the mosqui-
to which we can’t Ah I was a Proud
get’ Mosquito”
"Ah I was
proud mosquito A song had been writ-
ten about us we were hard to catch
and we made folks mad 1”
"Wonderful wonderful” said the
other mosquitoes "What a fine ev
nlng you had We never before heard
of a real mosquito song on a concert
program And to think- they couldn’t
get you and that you made them mad I
Fine oh fine I”
For the mosquitoes are very mean
and love to annoy creatures all they
- can and the more trouble they cause
She happier they are I

Wouldn’t Be Left Behind
A certain livery stable keeper never
lets a horse out without requesting the
hirer not to drive fast
'The other day a young man called
to get a turnout to attend a funeral
“Certainly” sold the stabler “But”
he added forgetting the solemn pur-
pose for which the young man re-
quested the horse "don’t drive fast”
