"SecH great big, lanky babyw
Everybody said o him;
Long Us Moses rod, and maybe
Some'ss near about as slim.
Stooptn' shouldored, timber tinted,
Feet above this usual size,
Frechled face and nose that pintcd
From PAIR o sQulnty eyes;
Reddish hair that allus bristled,
Skin sickly yeller hue.
Voice that kind o peeped an whistlcd
When he went to speak to you.
Bingham shirt an one suSpender,
Ragged pants an cowhide boots
Served to mark that critters gender
An to tell him from the brutes.
How the boys 'ud screech an holler
When they saw him on the street!
He 'ud run an they 'ud foller,
Laughin' at his clumsy feet;
Round the corner Jest a-flyin,
Up an alley, crost lot
Till they had i'm skeercd an cryin'-
An a-swearin', like as not.
Then they'd call him fool" an baby"
Sometimes dare him out to fight,
Till he's nearly crazy, maybe
Cause the Teller wasn't bright.
The1 for home he'd start a-bawlin',
AL the crowd a.jeerin' him.
THROWN clods an shrilly calm:
"Goodby, BOBBY goodby, SIM"
One day Sim was settin' dreamiu'
Right before the tavern door;
Suddenly he heard u screamin',
Up about the dry goods store.
Mad dog mad dog" some one ho,lered,
AS they run aerost the street;
Sim looked UP an stretched an swallcred
Then he stood upon his feet:
People turned as white as cotton,
Howled an yelled an took fer home;
Down the walk the dog come trottin',
With his jaws a'drippin' foam.
AS he came, his head a,swayin',
Snappin', Snarlin' in his wrath,
There little child was playin,
Right acrost his bloody path!
Sim stood still-but not a-sleepin'-
An his eyes was bulgin' wild,
For he saw the dog a-sweepin'
Down upon that little child.
All to once he left his station,
Rushed upon the savage brute,
Jumped an kicked i'm like the nation,
With his heavy cowhde boot;
Knocked him clear into the gutter,
Stained the ground sick min red,
Never stopped word to utter
Till the giant beast lay dead;
ketched the baby up, an ruther
Carried 1t with Swellin' pride,
Give it over to its mother
Then he just set down an cried!

HE SAVED THE CHILDREN.

But Went Away and Left No Trace of His
Heroic Identity.
An elderly and matronly appearing
woman stopped at a corner fruit stand
last evening and purchased a pound Of
figs.
''Something for the children" she
said to the vendor, as if to apologize for
indulging in such delicacies.
Before she had reached the opposite
side of the street the woman was over
taken by a man who would have been

pearance of seediness. He was evil

lady's shoulder, 'but did you not lust
purchase some figs at yonder fruit
stand?'
II did," answered the old lady, won
deringly.
"Are You aware of the prevailing
weakness of that mans figs?"
"No"
"Ah, thought not. Then I'll tell
you. 1t is worms. The fruit you have
purchased is fairly alive with bac-

"You don't say!' exclaimed the wom-
an almost ready to drop the package.
Eyes, know it. am collecting evil

Fairmount-During the week sink

ore.
