"You look sleepy,' said the
grocery man to the bad boy, as be
came in the store yawning, and
stretched himself outon the coun- :
ter with his head on q pile OF
brown wrapping paper in reach Of
a box Of rasins; "what's the mat
ter? Been sitting up with your
girl all nighf?"
"Naw, l wi h had. Wakeful
ness with my giil is sweeter ami
more res tful than sleep. No. this
is the result Of being = dutiful
son, and I'm tired. You see pa
and ma have separated. That is
not for keeps, bat pa has got
frightened about burglars, and h.
goes up in the attic to sleep He
says it is to get fresh air. but ht
knows better Ma has got 50
ac ustomed to pas snoring that
she can't 90 to sleep without it.
and the first night pa left she
didn't sleep wink, and yesterday
1 was playing on au old accnrdson
that / traded a dog collar for after
our Dug was poisoned, and when
1 touched the low notes noticed
ma dozed off to sleep, it sounded
SO much like pas snore, and last
night ma made me set up and
play for her to sleep. She rested
splendid, but I am all broke up,
aud sold the accordeon thi.

watches our block. 1t is queer
what different effect music will
have on different people. Whilr
ma was sleeping the sleep Of limo
csDce under the influence OF my
|counterfeit OF pas snore. the
night watchman was broke OF his
rest by it, and he bought it OF me
to give it to th sol OF an ensmy
Of his. Well. I have quit jerking
soda"
"No, you don't tell me" /" said
the grocery man, as he moved the
box OF raisins out Of reach
|'.You will never amount to any
thing unless you stick to one trade

never catches the e.rly angle
