By BIDE \. of Hoky Poky Perkins is an awful looking guy, His face has scraggly sideburns and he has an evil eye. He watches little children ev'ry minute they’re at play, ‘And when he finds a bad one, Hoky spirits him away. He takes him to-his cave and locks him up for seven weeks, ‘And laughs uproariously each time the yoyngster even squeaks. ‘And oh, the faces that he makes; they’re, horrible, indeed, ‘And | have heard a boy will lose his ears before he’s freed. Old Hoky Poky Perkins won't disturb a child that’s good; He doesn’t want the nice ones— wouldn’t steal them if he could. So, children, mind your Ma and Pa, and don’f you disobey, Or Hoky Poky, like as not, will spirit you away. Pi OBSERVATIONS. This seems*to be the open season for Episcopal ministers.

Once she accidental- ly stepped on a bug and it af- fected her greatly. For three days she gould not eat and she found it hard to sleep more than ten hours nightly. Sheriff Bangs knew this. Therefore, when Bonehead Brewster, the man Anna had absolutely refused to marry, suggested she might be the murderer of Kragorovitch, he ‘was inclined to laugh. Detective Bingo, however, was not so sure. He made up his mind to investigate. “Good morning, Miss Cracker facki!” * It was Detective Bingo leaning over the old moss-covered turn- stile. In his hand he held a pansy as a decoy. > “How do you do, Mr. Bingo!” ‘Thus ‘did.

Good Evening! DUDLEY vO 8 ee wee ewe { POEMS OF PREFERENCE } Gwendolyn (we have her last name and her address too) has de- cided Saul Webster Moss, who seeks a bride, may be her oyster. She is willing to take a chance with him if he comes up to specifications. Her rhyme, which may win the chocolate ice-cream poultice, follows: ” I've read your plea, Saul Webster Mose, ‘ For the kind of a gitt you'd like to boss, And I'm the only girl who lives And meets your thousand adjectives. With alt those qualities I mix A form that's perfect 36. But there's a bill you'll have to fll Before TU beckon to your will, You must be tall and young and strong And have dark hatr and a nose not tong, } And you must have a nice position, For I've a social high ambition, These things, Saut Moss, I must de mand Before you get my heart apd hand, Neve you murdered Kragoro- viteh.” Anna turned and called to her mother. “Oh, Mamma!" Mrs, Chackerjacki appeared with her arms full of custard pies. Anna took a large one and threw it in the detective’s face. Then Mra, Crackerjacki pasted him with one. It was Anna's turn next and she did not miss the mark, And ob, heigho, so it went. “Wait!” cried the detective when the last pie had struck him. “I am ple-eyed.” “Oh, go slap a toad,” sald Anna. Tt all seemed so absurd. (To Be Continued.) THIS AND THAT. On our travels in the Broadway district we frequently hear a story that we like, To-day we heard one about a man of sporting proclivities, told us by Louls Rosenberg. The man’s wife found a slip of paper in his pocket on which was written: “Evelyn, 2010 Fitzroy.” She hit the ceiling, figuratively speaking, and be- gan to accuse him of being untrue to her. “Calm yourself,” the man sald, “I bet on a horse named Evelyn. The odds were 20 to 10-and the book- maker's name was Fitzroy. That's all there is to that.” ‘The woman accepted the explana tion and all was serene until the next day. Then he found her raving again. “Well, my dear, what's wrong this time?” he asked, “That slip of paper!” she snorted. “What about it?” “Why, the horse called up to-day.” AND NOW PERMIT US To sukgest that in the case of that 400-pound girl and her 110- pound beau who are threatening to elope over in Pennsylvania, love will find a weigh, men and women gone wild with delight, states he. o~ Cheaper Than a Taxi! “NEVER MIND “THe PRICE ~ You Come How's “THAT FoR PICKUP ? “Tere!
