DEAD BEATS AND FRAUDS.


The city is full of dead beats and frauds
well. it may not be just full, but there arr
dead loads of them, anyway.
A boy about IA years old of progressing
appearance called at Father Casey's resi-.
dence yesterday afternoon, and asked 70,
help to boost him on his way to Fort Smith
The good-natured priest gave him 81 and
told him to go and see Mr.. Keller for chear
rates when be had got enough money to 90
on his way. In about half an hour Father
Casey had visit from another impecunious
young man who had another story to tell.
The priest was going to Newton last
evening. and while at the Douglas avenue
depot be saw Policeman Mcnamara driving
of four fellows who had been dead-beating
the town two or three days and among
whom he saw the two fellows who struck
him tor the 81.
1t Is astonishing how many of these dead
beats catch with their plausible stories.

A THANKSGIVING SONG.
By W. II. TUCKER

OF ell good things that ere Was made,
Or mixed up. wet or dry.
That knocks all others in the sha 3e,
Its grsndma's pumpkin pie.
1t makes you feel SO stout an strong.
And grow an inch more high,
To eat q slice both wide and long,
Ofgrandma's pumpkin pie.
No apple dumplins and sweet cream,
Upon your plate piled high
Can make your life SO sweet dream
As grandmA's pumpkin pie.
No chicken fxings, cold or hot,
Or beef steak on the fry,
Nor smashed potatoes in the pot
Like grandma's pumpkin pie.
Old grandpa on Thanksgiving day,
With pleasure in his eye,
"Dear children, take chunk" will say,
"Of grandma's pumpkin pie"
And grandma, dressed in her black silk,
Will say, as she goes by,
Dear children, sup glass Of milk
With grandma's pumpkin pie"

A SPLENDID GIFT.

Some time since number Of Partisan ar

Illustrated gift book, "Undine," five hundred

hundred in England. The book publisher,
Maxwell, secured two hundred and fifty
copies for tho American trade. Mr.. Hum
bic secured one of these copies, the only one
sent to Kansas. 1t is about fifteen by twen-
ty inches in size, and is a beautiful work OF
art, the price of which is forty dollars. No
finer or more appropriate gift for the money
could be conceived of. Every page is a de-
light and the cover itself is work of art.
The pictures are in colors and simply beau
tiful. OF course the prize is to valuable for
miscellaneous handling, but any one desir-
ing to make a bridal or holiday gift will be
shown the work with pleasure. 1t is the
