When New Zealander finds long hair

'slong pig" barbecue.
Dear little boy, when prone you lay
Across the maternal knee,
Beneath the slippers vengeful play,
In smarting misery,
And young companions howl with joy,
Dear child do not get vexed-
You may laugh at that same boy;

IA rather good story is told by the
Deutsches M0ntagsblatt The servant OF
the newly married wife of Berlin banker
had remarked that regularly every after
noon, in the absence Of Frau rs hus-
band, shabby-looking individual,
ugly, ill-bred, and suspicious, called
at the house and remained closeted
with her mistress for an hour.
Suspecting some intrigue, she one
day listened at the keyhole, and was hor-
rifed to hear voice say, "Kiss me-" and
another apparently replying to the ten
der invitation by playfully exclaiming:
ooh, you Don Juanl You good-for-
nothing!" The next time that shabby
man called the servant managed to let
the husband know. A violent scene be-
tween the "happy PAIR" was the conse-
quence. The presence of the suspicious
visitor was, however, soon and satisfac-
torily explained. He was bird fancier
who had been requested by the gushing
bride to teach few amorous phrases to
a pet parrot, with which she intended to
surprise her husband on his birthday.
Very German, isn't itg
els he good German scholar?" they
asked of Washington belle concerning
her lover. "Splendid," she replied; she
holds lady beautifully, and knows all
the figures"

CHARLEY's blind POOL.
n True story Showing How n Bad 10,
Brought About n spanking.

Charles was a little boy who loved his
Mother dearly, and whenever she told
him anything he was very careful to
obey. One day in the Spring, when the
birds were singing and the buds on the
apple trees were almost ready to burst
into beautiful white blossoms, Charles
asked his mother for ten cents TO buy
Marbles, for the ground wa getting dry
and the other boys were beginning to
enjoy their favorite sport. "You can
have the money, my son." said the
Mother, ''but you must promise me not
to play for keeps, and every night that
you can come home and tell me truth
fully hat you have not disobeyed your
Mamma 1 will give you a large red
apple" And then she kissed him
fondly and he went gayly away to
school.
But before Charles had gone very far
he met Thomas Tough, who was a bad
boy. Charles told Thomas about the
ten cents that his, Mother had given him
to buy marbles with, and also told him
that he could not play for keeps, unless
he was willing to go without the red
apple. When Thomas heard this he
sHid "Give me the marbles you are
going to buy and l will play with them
for keeps, and after school is out we
will divide what l have won, for L am
a superior player. Then you can truth
fully tell your Mother that you have not
been playing for keeps, and will receive
the red apple" So Charles gave his
marbles to Thomas and after school
was ont asked him how many marbles
he had won. II did not win," replied
Thomas. 81 struck a hard crowd and
lost. Then Charles was sad, for he was
a pretty tight-fsted little boy, and be-
gan to cry. But presently he said to
Thomas "You are a naughty boy and
/ hate you very much" And then
Thomas hit Charles in the nose and
threw him down in the dirt, making
his new panties look very bad indeed.
So when Charles reached home he
told his Papa all about his troubles.
When he had finished his Papa said to
him "You don't know as much as
Thompson's Colt and 1 I'M going to
take a crack at you myself" Then he
gave Charles a good licking and sent
him to bed without any supper. And
when Charles had laid on his stomach
awhile, because he felt more comfort
able that way, he said to himself :" No
more Blind Pool"
Do you not think he had a great
head, children? do.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-10-29

The two brothers, the Barons Roth
schild of the old ancestral house in
Frankfort on the Main, have made the
return of their income for taxation.
The younger brother, Wilhelm, or
Wiley, as he is called, appears to be
the richer nan of the two-at all events
for the present taxable year. His re-
turn is 4,7ss, 900 marks. The elder
brother, Meyer Karl, on the other hand,
only rerurns A $50, 900 marks. Accord
ing to the figures rendered by himself
to the government, Baron Wiley Roth.
schild enjoys a daily income of IL, 100
marks or over S3,25O. An anti-Semitic
print details the figures closely, and ex-
claims that this Jew is receiving 56i
marks, or $40, every hour, S2.35 every
minute, and four cents a second. Four
cents a second does not sound much,
but there are 81, $50, 600 seconds in every
year.-New York Sun.

A Good story About an Actress.

A good story is told of Modjeska,
now playing in Boston, by an English
correspondent Of a Washington paper.
1t appears she was recently asked in a
fashionable London drawing oom to
give a recitation in her native tongue.
At first she was unwilling to comply,
declaring that the recitation could
scarcely be interesting, as nobody in the
room was supposed to know Polish,
Yielding to the opportunities of those
around her, she commenced a Polish
recitation. AS she proceeded her eyes
seemed to flash fire, and her audience
we're almost spellbound by her impas-
stoned delivery. They could, of course,
only imagine what she was saying, but
they presumed she vas uttering the as
pi~rations of her co%untrymen for free
dom and denouncing the oppressors of
Poland. When the recitation vas fin
lshed, the most enthusiastic plaudits
rewarded Mime. Modieska's efforts. 1t
looked rather suspicious, however, to
see her husband and two or three Polish
