A BALLADE OF SAMUEL
PEPYS
“Up, to the office, and there till
four;
“Up, to the office, and to the
play.”
Thus Mr. Pepys in the years of
yore.
This is the sum of his earthly
day.
Early he rose, or long he lay;
Donned his stockings and ate his
bread.
Went to court in a splendid shay.
“Up, to the office . . . and so to
bed.”
“Saw the ships as they left the
shore;”
trait;”
“Kissed Mrs. Knipp . . . but I
vowed no more.”
This is the sum of his earthly day.
“So to church for an hour, to
pray;
So to a barber’s, who trimmed my
head.
Met with Mercer, who said me
nay.
Up, to the office . . . and so to
bed.”
“Donned my surtout I had never
wore;
So to the office, accounts to pay.
Met with Nell, which I do de
plore.”
This is the sum of his earthly day.
“So to the playhouse, and thence
away
Home, and a volume of Potter’s
read.
Played my flute, and was merry
and gay . . .
Up, to the office . . . and so to
bed.”
L’ENVOI
Gather ye rosebuds while ye
may—
This is the sum of his earthly day.
And, when the whole of it’s done
and said,
“Up, to the office . . . and so to
bed.”—New York World.

Don’t run for ^ doctor—you’re not seeing things,—the camera man did. Calm down. Pretty Lillian
trger, at the extreme right, seems to have made the camera man go wrong. The first picture is of a
1 beauty, Raqucl Torres—it's easy to see where the naughty camera man was looking. Johnny Brown,!
) of the films, is the only male sufferer in this cameraman’s spree. His legs are certainly long enough:
each the ground. The second picture is of a young lady who may have got that way eating at board-
