neck and tb-tUl - lighted nfiM intn
I hirecrttt poefiet " "I pabCabed jtour
poaVyM.snow! - Promised I would
and It can' snow It to too. Don't
make a tow !" And the managing
editor wrapped a beer bottle in a page
of manuscript and ordered the office
boy to take it to the foreman,3 with
instructions to' carry it as a leader
under, penalty of the law. "It was
the prettiest - thing we - erer had in

what did it look like when it came
out ! When did I eyer say t
' "We'll meet in the Taliey with poker and
tongs!' '
" I wrote it:
"We'll meet in the Taliey with Jokathnd

MAnd then yoa JLAke me say ;
" 'Here's to the madman that hove me swell!';
"And if yoa had any sense, you'd

" 'Here's to the maiden that loves me still !.'
And here' she went into a fresh set
of convulsions.
"Bat that's all right P pleaded the
managing editor, wishing he'd left
out that whopper about setting up
the matter himself.
"The new idea about the alley was
ah improvement on yours because it
brought it under the head of this
new realistic school of poetry, and I
tell you," added the managing editor,
solemnly, "that poem, just ai it ap
peared in our paper with your name
attached to it,', baa attracted more at
tention and been . more extensively
copied than any other production that
has appeared in this country for
twenty years I" ..'""
"Do you mean to tell me that as a

rubbing his hands.
"Didn t any of them seem te no

" 'Fine pigs illume the monkey shine ?'
"When I wrote it:
" 'Pine 'sprigs perfume the mountain side ?'
Didn t they seem to think that was
a) a little far fetched ?"
"I think more 'people bought pa
pers ou that one line than any oth

"You look sleepy,1' said the grocery
man to the bad boy, as he came in
the store yawning and stretched him
self but on (he counter with his head
on a pile of brown wrapping paper,
in reach of a box of raisins; "what's
the matter ? Been sitting up with
your girl all night ?"
"Naw! I wish I had. Wakefulness
with my girl is. sweeter aod more
restful than sleep No, this is the
result of being a dutiful 6onv and 1
am tired. You see pa and ma have
separated. That' is not for keeps',
but pa has got frightened about bur
glars, and he goes up into the attic
to sleep. He says It is to get fresh
air, but he knows better. Ma has
got so accustomed to pa's snoring
that she can t go 'to sleep without it,
and the first night pa left she didn't
sleep a wink, and yesterday I was
playing on an old accordeon that I
traded a dog collar for after our dog
was poieonedv and Ti ",ui.
uie row notes 1 noticed ma dozed on
to sleep, it sounded so much like pa
snoring, and last fUgtrtlaia made me
set up and play for her to sleep. She
rested splendid, but I am all broke
up, and I sold the aecordeon this
morning to the watchman who watch
es our block. It is queer what a
different effect music I will have on
different people., While ma was

.'No. von don't tell me," said the
grocery man, as he mor.ed the box of
raisins out of reach. "You'll never

'Ob, but I am all right now, In
