EiIlx,s Party.

Billy's mother, wishing to make him
happy ON his sixth birthday, invited a
number of the children of her friends to
celebrate the event.
Billy begged that the invitations should
embrace two or three tom Canty" sort of
friends, whose sidewalk acquaintance had
a peculiar fascination; also little Topsy,
the child of an occasional colored under
study in the laundry.
At the appointed hour the guests ar
rived with their conventional gifts. The
unconventional sidewalk boys, manifestly
i'll at ease in pent up drawing room,
stood awkwardly about in corners and
watched the proceedings with stolid coun-
tenances. Not SO Topsy, the gradual ex-
pansion of whose eyes showed her interest
in what was going on.
When the little company was marshaled
for supper Topsy was missing, but soon
appeared, bursting into the room with the
announcements:
Say, Miss johnson, my mother says
she'll buy Billy present when Miss Wheat
on pays her for the washing"
The Wheatons being among Billy's more
aristocratic guests, his mothers dismay
may be imagined. Brooklyn Arlington.

PATTIsoN.s OPINIONS.

The System of Handling Public Funds
in Pennsylvania Is ALI Wrong.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-The legisla-
tive committee appointed to investigate
the state treasurer's office, met here this
morning. Governor Pattison appeared
before the committee. He was asked if
he could suggest any better method
than the present system of auditing
the state accounts. The governor said
in his opinion the present system was
all wrong. Under it the state treasurer
has absolute control of about $S, 900, 900,
for which the state only has security to
the amount of $50.00O In his opinion
the system in vogue in this city of all
warrants being countersigned by the
city controller, should be adopted by the
state.
Governor Pattison also said he
thought the system of depositing the
state money was wrong. Security
should be required by the state for
money deposited, about $l25,O00 for
every 100000 being, in the governors
opinion, about the right amount.
The most perfect safeguard, in
the opinion of the governor. for
security to the state against loss, is the
system employed by the federal gov
ernment.
After hearing the testimony of several
cashiers of banks which were active
state repositories, that they had not
paid interest on the state deposit, nor
had any favor or consideration been
shown in return for the deposit, the
committee adjourned until tomorrow.

SHE SIMPLY COULDN'T.

She could sing and she could play,
She could dance from night till day,
She could while the hours away,
So tits said.
She could skate and she could paint,
She could play the patron saint,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make bed.
She could walk eight miles day
And play tennis charmingly,
Flirting in saucy way,
Little scamp
She could drive and play baseball,
She could make stylish call,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Clean lamp.
She could swim and she could row,
She could always have beau,
And I'm sure that we all know
She was shy.
She could laugh and she could prance,
She could play game of chance,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make q pie.
She could etch and write a book,
She could vanquish with look;
She could win by hook or crook,
| confess.
She could scold and she could fiout,
She could cry and she could pout,
But she couldn't and she wouldn't
Make dress.
She could talk of church affairs,
But knew naught OF household cares;
Still I'm sure that none compares
With sweet Nan.
Even if she couldn't bake
Bread and pies and angel cake,
She enraptured and she captured
A rich man.
