A story iof Good Little Girls.

Mary Harris was q Iii trtle girl wholly
ed in Chicago. Shastyas a very pret-
ty little girl, and oiit day an old 5ach.
e-lor fell In love with her. So he used
to write fine letters to her, and call her
" Rosebud =" and " Puss" and Little
Mol-lie." But he went to Washing
ton, md got married, and soon forgot
his Little Mol-lie.n When Mary
Harris heard the news, she bought a
pretty pistol and went To Washing
ton too. There she found the old bach
e-lor In big building, which they call
ed the Treasury Department. So she
went up to him and shot him with the
pretty pis tol. The bullet went In to
the old bach-e lor. This made him feel
bad, and he died. Then Mary Harris
cried, for she was good girl and very
af. fec tomato. Then the Sec.re- ta-ry
came to SEQ Mary Harris, and pit-icd
her very much. Then the editors
came to see Mary Harris, and pit-ied
her very much. For Mary Harris
was very pretty, and so af- ec-tion-ate.
And the jail-ors of the PRISON all t led
her; and the Judges and the jury that
tried her, and the lawyers all pit-ied
little Mary Harris. So they let her
go free and the good jurors said 1t was
all q mis-takc--that she hadn't killed
any body. And every body kissed
Mary Harris, because she was pret-
ty girl. And tho people all huz-za-ed.
And every body was happy and huz-
za-ed, except the old bach-e-ior, who
couldn't huz-za, because he was dead.
Oh, what nice thing il Is TO be pref
ty girl, and shoot mn old uach-e-lor!
Little girls, be af-fec-tion-ate, and shoot
old bach-c-iors.
