kissing tho Baby.

While Colonel Allen was discus

hotel piazza Colonel Tom Critten
den quietly slid down down off tho
platform and circulated among the
crowd. He woro q dolicate white
suit, blue neck-tie and patont
leather pumps, and was the cyno
sure Of all female eyes on the
promises. Colonel Tom, with ar
eye to business, began ogling the
babies.
"Oh you sweet little darling
said Colonel Tom, addressing Il
fussy, pop.eyed child that lollod
lazily in its mothers arms, under
one Of tho trees; chow old is it
ma'am7"
"Four months, sir" said the fond
mother.
"a little girl, ho?" said ho.
"No, a boy" replied tho mother.
"Ah, yes, now that I come 10 look
at it more closely, I dotect the
strong manly features ofa boy"
the Colonel hastened TO say.
"Please, may I kiss the little che.
rub?"
Colonel Tom shut his eyes and
exploded an osculatory sound on
the fussy face, and the child put
up a big lip and commenced to
cry.
ale is such q beautiful child"
murmurod Colonel Tom, "such
eyes, such a head such an oxpanse
Of forehead, such a mouth, such a
wealth Of complexion, such q sweet

"La, mo; you don't really think
so?" simpcred tho tlattored mother.

Tom assumed a seraphic look-a
look calculated to strike talry to
the most hardened female heart
and got right down to busines.
II am q candidate for Governor"
said he, "and nothing would give
me more pleasure than to rest as
sured that had the support of the
father Of that sweet babe. Como
let me hold the little darling in my
arms. I do think he is just the
sweetest little angel l ever saw"
The ilattsred mother gave up
tho fuzzy baby with profuse apollo.
gies about It not being we'll dres-
scd, etc. hoped it would not trouble
tho gentleman; glad to know that
he admired it so much.
The fuzzy baby writhcd and
squirmed and grew red in the face
and squirmed and wrinklcd itself
all up and then lay calm and COM
posed on Colonel Toms strong
right arm.
"Tho little precious" cried the
Colonel.
"You'll tell his father how much
I thought Of his littlo cherub, won't
you, ma'am2"
The poor woman's face dropped
and big scalding tears camo iuto
her eyes.
