1n% TWO Brooklyn Clubs Defeated fin Baston and the Giants win in Now York. NEW YORK. April 4.-The New York Brotherhood Club defeated the Phillies again, and the National League Club was beaten the second time by the Quaker City nine. Both the Brooklyn clubs were defeated in Boston. The Brotherhood people are still drawing the crowds.

NY sweetheart is poet; he Is graceful, slim ano

His hair is dark and curly, and it's long;
his face is like saint, he can play and dance and
paint
Ana he'd charm ySu with the way he sings a
song.
But he's always in dream, and to strangers he
might seem
Like man with purpose or plan;
Yet he's not so very tame for he gets there al the
same,
Though they reckon him an absent minded man
The editors all state that some day he will be great
That he simply runs where other people creep;
Though to see him In his walk, and to listen 10 his
talk
You'd surely think the man was half asleep.
But he never loses temper and he never seems to
fret
And money to his pocket freely flows;
That he don't know where 1t cones from t would
be very safe 70 bet,
And safer that he don't know where it goes.

I often feel as though I'd ike to scream;
For frequently prevent him adding catsup to his
wine,
And stop him putting salt In his ice cream.
Yet he says am an angel and the star that guides
his life,
And then, you know, he loves me all he can;
Though 1 really don't suppose that he ever viii

He is such very absent minded man.

very big hat and walking with great deal
of swagger, entered, hung his hat on peg,
aud then drawing a revolver he turned to
the idle man and said:
II want shave-just. a common shave
want no talk. Don't ask me if want q
hair cut or a shampoo. Don't speak of
the weather or politics. If you speak to
me I'll shoot"
He took the. chair, held the revolver
across his legs, and was shaved with
promptness and dispatch. When he got
up he returned the shooter to his hip peck
ct, put on his hat, and after a broad
chUckle he said to the cashier:
That's the way to keep a barber quiet
He didn't utter word"
"No, sir-he couldn't"
