THE WORKINGS OF THE INFANT MIND.
Thomas Jefferson, when about years old,
was playing with his blocks one day, when
the sound of an infant sister came drifting
in from the distant nursery. ''It seems to
me,n remarked the infant statesS IN, pausing
in his childish labor, ''or, rather. it strikes
ne, that Anna Maria has taken her base on
bawls." But" interpoSes the hypercritical
reader, Thomas Jefferson mad no sister
Anna Maria, and baseball and its slang were
unknown in his time" Yes, all that know;
but [ agree with Mr. Howells that il novel
dealing with modern life "a plot Of close
texture is not only unnecessary, but is an
auachronisIn" But" you say, 1.-THE in
fancy of Thomas jefferson is not feature of
modern life" No, gooSey, but baseball Is.

Who knows al things, both great and small,
And tells it with his tireess mouth;
Who holds a listening world in axe,
The while he works his IRON jaw.

And zephyr breethes peaceful psalm,

Through air and SKY, Ger sea and land,

From wreck and food, from storm and fire.
