Don't Stop My Paper.


Don't strike my name off yet /;
You know the times are stringent,
And dollars hard to get;
But tug a little harder,
Is what [ mean to do.
Aud scrape the dimes together
Enough for me aud sou.
I can't afford to drop it;
fad it doesn't pay,
10 do without a papei,
However others may,
hate to ask my neighbors
To give NE theirs oE loan
They don't just say, but mean RI
"W hy don't you have your own?,
You can't tell how we miss it.
Il it, by any fate,
Should happen not TO reach US
Or come a little late,
Then all is in a hubbub,
And things go all awry.
And--printer. if you're married
You'll. kaow the reason why!
The children want their stories,
And wife is anxious too,
At first to glance it over,
And th,n to read 1t through
And L to read the leaders,
And count the book reviews,
And scan the correspondence.
And every bit Of news,
| cannot do without it;
1t is no use to try
The other people take it,
And. printers, so must l.
too, must keep me posted.
And know what's going on,
Or feel, ard be counted,
a fogy simpletou.
Then take 1t kindly, printer,
II pay is somewhat slow.
For cash is not so plenty,
And wants not few, you know
But | must have the paper,
Cost what it may to ne,
Id rather dock my sugar.
And do without NV tea.
So printer don't you stop it,
Unless You want my frown.
For here's the years subscription
And credit right down,
And send the paper promptly.
And regularly on,
And let it bring Us weekly,
It's welcomed benison.

ADDIE BRINKLEs ROMANCE.
The Philadelphia Bellies Love Affair
while a Prisoner In the Asylum.

From the Ne1g York World.
A lady resident of Mount Morris hotel,
at Third avenue and One Hundred and
ThIrtieth street, was an inmate Of the
Pennsylvania Insane Asylum at Harris
burg during part of the time that Miss
Addie p. Brinkle, OF Philadelphia, was
confined there. She was seen by re-
porter yesterday and corroborated the
accuracy of the recently published ac-
count OF Miss Brinkle's detention at the
asylum for period of p yeaas, though
all that time she was entirely sane. In
reply to questions the lady, whose name,
at her request, is not made public, said:
"Yes, knew Addie Brinkle intimately.
At the time Of her Imprisonment was

wood, and is the eldest of four or five
children. The President spoke TO Secre-
tary Manning about providing place in
the Treasury Department for the boy,
but when the latter made his appearance
before the Secretary ne was pronounced
too small to be of any material value TO
the public service. In vain he insisted
that he was capable OF performing mes
senger service equally as well as some of
the able-bOdied men now employed in the
department, and that fair trial would
prove the correctness OF his assertion.
The Secretary advised HIM to go back to
SCHOOL and remain until several years
more had passed over his head. There
upon Howard repaired to the White
House, and with tears in his eyes, told
the President the result of his interview
with Secretary Manning. Some one sug-
gusted to the little fellow that he would
probably be more successfulw with Secretary
Lamar. of he went to the Interior De-
partment, where he found the Secretary
surrounded by a roOmful Of politicians
and ofice-seekers. He finally got an OPP
pOrtunity TO state his case to the kind
hearted Secretary, who at once became
interested In his story and promised to
help him. Day after day the youthful ap-
plicant haunted the corridors Of the Iu-
terror Department and watched his
chance to steal an interview with the
Secretary when the vigilant colored mes
senger was not looking. Finally the boy
was taken sick, and the Secretary missed
his daily visits to his office. One after
noon last week the Secretary, upon in
curry, found out where the little fellow
lived and called to see him. Finding
that the case was really deserving one,
he informed the boys mother that her son
should have an appointment as soon as he
was able to be about. The good news
quickly restored Towards health, and
