The World is Growing Better.

The world is growing better!
Thought takes wider sweep:
The hand Of sturdy labor
With friendly hand we greet:
We Will not drink the bitter
When SO little makes it sweet
The world is growing richer,
In wealth brought from the earth
But. better far, with treasures found
In mines OF sterling worth,
For noble deeds are honored more
Than simple claims OF birth.
The world Is growing betterl
Win FEWER muSty creedS,
WIN more OF human strivingS
TO answer human needs,
With precious haryeSts garnered
AS the growth OF precious seeds

The Tramp and the Rooster.

lANtN u I'll
He was a weary looking tramp. He had a
weary eye. weary trousers, weary hat,
weary shoes aud weary coat. He might
have had a weary vest, but a majority of
holes had overcome a minority OF cloth, and
had carried the meeting.
He was sauntering along one of the Graves
end roads. where lie espied a large game
rooster that suited his taste to u 1t, or, rather
two is" Visions of wealth superinduced
by countless future cock fights cantered
through his brain, and he determined to
have that rooster II he never worked IA day in
his life.
He chased the animal all over the road, but
the rooster had as many feet as the tramp.
Then IA happy idea struck the featherless
biped, and he crawled over the fence into q
nearby corn-field and shelled an ear. Thdn
he threw half a dozen kernels to the feaeh-
cred biped. They were gobbled down in an
instant. Then the tramp cut a hole in his
pocket, put a handful inside and as he walked
along the road the kernels dropped out oae
by one and the rooster followed him, picking
up the corn as it proceeded. Finally the
tramp took II piece of cord from his pocket,
made a slipnoose, placed it on the ground and
unwinding the string us he proceeded walked
onward. Pretty soon there was a jerk, a
hutter. and as the tramp came toward the
writer he was fat all in one place.

Mr.. Smiths Baby.
LFrom the penyer Trihune.


There was q great commotion at the
Inter-0 Oceanic Hotel yesterday morning.
The clerks, porters, chambermaids, bell
boys, and walters flew around, up stairs
and down, in the most reckless and aim-
less manner. One unacquainted with
the cause Of the confusion might have
suspected that q case OF smallpox had
been discovered in the house. There
was a noisy rushing hither and thither
OF important females, wearing mysterious
frowns and carrying mysterious bottles,
aud, strangely enough, the footsteps of
all tlrifted TO and from the door Of Mr..
aud Mrs. Charles II. Smiths apartment.
The motley cavalcade had moved up and
down the halls and stairways and cor
ridors in a wild, weird, unintelligible sort
OF a way for several hours, when finally
Mr.. Charles II. Smith himself made his
appearance, wearing the look Of man
who had just emerged in triumph from
a fiery ordeal. His smile was, without
any exaggeration, seraphic.
lis IL q boy or q girl?" asked one Of
the gloomy retainers in the, hallway.
Mr.. Smith started as II he had been
stabbed. The triumphant smile van.
ished from his face and look Of COM
mingled scorn and derision took its place.
mo, sir" replied Mr.. Smith In cold,
cutting tones; cit is not a boy. What
on earth do you suppose we want with a
boy? II is n girl, sir, Altogether she is
the most beautiful creature / ever laid
my eyes upon, and am going right out
now to buy her q hoop skirt, n pair OF
bangs, and piece of chewing gum. She
will be great comfort TO me-this girl,
but l shall be very jealous of her, and !
propose to give it out cold and fiat that
l shall make 1t very sultry for the young
men who attempt to pay-her any atten-
tion for well, say for the next fifteen or
