Fault of Some Mothers.

Quite natural fault. and one ex-

hold their infants altogether too much.
By so doing they Inconvenience them

true it Is their own fault. When once

The Campaign Orator.

It was his greatest pleasure to orate
So, to that end, lie ever went a seeking
Some party that would send him through the
state
And let him do its patriotic speaking.
He found, at last, party that was glad
To pay bis way and send him on a mission
To woo city, recognized as bad
Because 1t always helped the opposition.
He spoke but once; he then returned and told
The chairman of the managing committee
He thought that after that he would unfold
His eagles wings within some other city.
The anxious chairman strongly disapproved
The plan the speaker had in contemplation.
"Were not" the chairman asked, "the people

BY what you said to them in your oratloni"
"They were indeed" the orator replied,
VI therefore am some other city seeking;

Full many an egg at him who did the

This information struck the charm N dumb.
