READING THE NEW MAGAZINE. THE FUNNY CARPENTER. By Archibald Hobson. There was once a funny carpenter, who lived I dont know where;And every building he did build had such a funny air! … THE CROSS CARPENTER-SHOP. He started out to build a shop,But when he got it done It looked so very cross it madeHis customers all run. He once was hired to build a church, But had no luck in that;His fellow-townsmen, laughing, said It looked more like a cat.
