ver ore By BIDE Ma boy, in dis ole world ob ours, Things ain't all chicken pie; A lot ob kickahs you will find— Ter knock your game dey’ll try. But don’t you mind ‘em, boy, at all: Smile when de knocks come thick, ; Jes’ plug an’ keep a’pluggin’, chile, An’ let de kickahs kick. Wifout de obstacles he meets, A man might lose his mind; Some day you'll find your trou- bles, boy, Ter you wus really kind. Jes’ plug an’ keep a'pluggin’ ‘long, Den when you comes ter die, You'll thank de good Lohd dat your life ; Wus not all chicken pie. OBSERVATIONS. Women are to show their ears again.

(A detective story that will thrill you through and through.) Lena took a ginger-snap from a box in the Hoskins store. She had not eaten for twenty-four hours and was beginning to dis- trust her friends. Hoskins, no- ticing her action, stroked his Deard. “Them cookies is for sale,” he said quietly. “But the lost nickel!” sald Lena. “It may be at the bottom of the snap box.” It seemed plausible enough, but Archibald sniffed. He was a society man and did not care for ginger-snaps. Lady Vandershot, the Vienna heiress, had backed him up in this, and many columns had been written about it in the New York papers. Sniffing again, Archibald bowed, his hand on his heart. “Gooch!” he remarked. It was a slang expression he had learned in Kansas City, meaning “How are things at the stock yards?” Lena, who loved him, did not reply to this, Several society women stepped forward. One had a fine coiffeur, and another was a wealthy widow with a bump on her nose. “Let us play drop the handker- chief,” said one. But Archibald preferred to smoke his pipe. Laughing Lena regarded this with suspicion. . Carefully she examined the win- RS. HENRY B. HARRIS an- nounces she will resume pro- ducing plays next month.

EQUITY SQUADS AT WORK. Flying squadrons, by Mra. @alia Hoyt, Alice Fish: Harcourt, od Evening! About Plays and Players DUDLEY (Poems OF PREFERENCE. Jennie Polosky, who says she is a seamstress living in the Bronx, has entered the contest for the velvet- lined oyster opener. She wants to marry but has extravagant ideas as to the man of her dreams, The poem follows: I want to wed an actor man, An idol of the masses. I want to be a drama fan And see the shows on passes. He must be tall, with eyes of blue, And have a voice quite mellow. He must possess a heart that's true And be a reg'lar fellow. Another thing—he must possess A good supply of money. And he must fondle and caress Myself, his little honey. Oh, he must be a perfect dear And not let beauty blind him.

A Brooklyn man, who has the gift of rhyming, went into a Broadway restaurant yesterday for some food, After scanning the bill of fare he said to the waitress: “T think that IT Shall have some pie. But bring me first Some weinerwurst. Of rolls a few, And coffee too. And then, sweet miss, Please add one kiss.” The girl soon returned with the order. As she placed the dishes be- fore the man he was surprised tol@ hear her say: “Your weinerwurst T'll give you first. Your rolls are here, And do not fear I'l bring your pte, Oh, by and by. But that sweet kiss, T fear you'll miss, You'll get no smack From Annie Mack.” However, she gave him a emile when he left and he’s going to try it again some day.
