A Days Diversion of Nine-Year-Old
Imp of Mischief.

A lady tells this story in ''Our Young
Folks" Of her son Harry, who seems
To be a lineal descendant OF the Old
| Harry:
/ Harry is always engaged in some mis-
chief; and his pranks are so laughablc
that can seldom keep on sober face
1 long enough TO punish him. Nearly
year ago there came n strolIing theat-
rical troop to town. They played
tragedy and comedy. performed panto-
mines, and did the negro-minstrcl bust
ness TO perfection so the boys tho';.
But what my son Harry most admired
was the play Of Toodles. This he de-
/ trimmed to reproduce in his own thea
tire with new and unheard OF effects.
I There was new scenery painted on
I an old sheet, with straws from new
broom, by Bnnkey Burnett; intricate
I stage mechanism whitfield out with
/ JacA knife, by Blouscy Shaw old cos
/ tunes made to look as good as new. by

| ed or new and very original instruments
