= j | * i By BIDE A letter from a mother in a little country town, The little town you knew, oh, years ago; The penmanship old fashioned and the ink a faded brown, And lines that show ‘twas penned with pain and slow. A letter from a mother to the boy she loves the best— A boy who's in her mind both night and day, The lad she: rocked in years gone by to sleep there on her breast— A letter from a mother old and gray! A letter from a mother telling all the village news; A letter begging you to take a * while And visit with the folks at home— it gives a man the blues; It pictures in his mind her lov- ing smile. ‘A dear old mother's letter, maybe crude a bit in looks, A letter you peruse and lay away; There is no better reading, friend, in all the world’s best books, A letter from a mother old and gray!

THE ROYAL BOOTLEGGER. {A story never to be forgotten no matter Yew forgetful you ere.) j Old King John, having been faved from the fury of the rag- man, re-entered the castle and demanded his dinner. He dad not eaten since lunch time but he was ready now to stow away quite a meal. “Ab, ha, ho, hee, hum!” he said, as he sank into an easy chair. The Peppermint Princess » @hided her father for his lazy attitude, : “You speak like a singing les- son, dear Papa,” she said. . |. Old King John went to the back porch and kicked the dog. He was not himself. Usually hoe was in a pretty mood, but the words of his daughter had seemed so austere. As he kicked the dog a stran- Ser stepped up. “Kwa derjife owamus!” said the newcomer. The King, who held the high- ) est esteem ef the ladies of the Royal sewing circle, suspected this man was -uot telling the truta. “How's that?” be asked.

The way they'd choose a husband— It surely is a gift. 6o I just sigh and wonder If choosing is all wrong. Why figure out the fellow Who may not come along? I want a man who's travelled O'er ev'ry place on earth, Who knows New York from London, And what a good wife's worth. I seck not wealth or beauty, But pleasant he must be If I'm to love the geezer Tilt yelps eternity. If a bet ts to be mad sald, “I will hold the steaks.” It really was an absurd situa- tion. But the Peppermint Prin- cess, who had overheard the ar- gument, did not hesitate. “IT am in love, Father,” sho said in a simple tone. Floosh, the American, stepped forward, “This girl of yours nas said. a mouthful, King John,” came from Floosh. At that point the military be- gan marching. Old King John looked through the window and saw the ragman at the head of the column. The Monarch, in anger, rushed out and challenged the man of rags. “Oa, Papa, how silly!” the Peppermint Princess. But Floosh loved her just the same. said (To be continued.) Too Bad, Pastor! When the Rev. Theodore Lawrence, pastor of the Bethel African M. E. Church at Olean, asked a hot-dog vender for more mustard, the dog man painted the delicacy with the yellow paste and threw it in the preacher's face, It all seemed so absurd, Here’s a Regular Girl. We ran across Edith Day yester- day, over at the Ritz-Carlton, and chatted with her for an hour. Miss Day, who is in “Orange Blossoms,” is just as sweet, unassuming and otherwise attractive as she was when she made her initial hit in “Going Up” at the Liberty, several years ago. We were born in the same town in which she originated and we're proud of it. Edith Day is human, lovable and game and we're for her. There isn't a more capable young prima donna in musica) comedy to-day and her future ts ex- ceeding bright. If you don't know her personally you're missing some- thing. And, we know what we're talking about because we know Edith Day. Gave Him Fitts. James Fitts gave his daughter away when she married W. Hack- straw Poley last night.—Henders (Neb.) Tribune.
