MISCHTEVOUS JANE.
BY THE BARD OF TOWER HALL.

4 mothers pet, Il little Jane,
Who was but four years old,
With azure eyes DER rosy cheeks
And Curls Ike skeins Of gOd
0 morning searched the pantry shelves,
When mother was not by,
Aud took with dimpled hands from one
\ nicely baked IainCe pie.
Then knife in hand upon the floor
She coolly took a seat
And gave the cat and kittens each
A piece Of pie 10 eat.
Her mother came-amazad She said:
We'll here's pretty show -
u couldn't help il, Ma 80 said Jane.
81 love the pussy So"
The girl no couldn't help il grew
From feeding cats on pie
To he "a girl Of sweet sixteen,
DCHghung every eye
And then To win her youthful heart
There went n sutton bold,
She gave him both her heart and hand
Then she her mother told.
Her mother asked "Why did Won thus
Your hand on him bestow p"
Il couldn't help it, Ma" She said,
81 couldn't help il. no
20, nonsense, girl exclaimed her ma,
You made the same reply
When you were but little child
And ted the cat on pie"
Il know did responded Jane,
And will the reason show;
fed the cat and married John,
Because ! loved them So
Fair James excuse was very good
tbs one that's made by all
Whose friends inquire, why did you bu
Your clothes at Tower Hall?'
They say, We bought them there becaus
We bought at prices low
And, by sense Of duty led,
We couldn't help it-nO.

A LETTER Of a Dover correspondent
to q Wilmington paper contains the
the following characteristic paragraphs:
dover is one of those places that
Providence apparently watches over
very teuderly, for while all around it
the grip is raging, and even the anti
quated village Of Smyrna has its scores
of cases, this town has but few isola-
ted cases, to complain of. Among
those, however, who are now in its
tolls are James Kirk and General
r. r. Kenney."

THERE was large unusually SYM
pathetic gathering of people in atten-
dance upon the funeral of Mrs. Jas. II.
Donovan from BrenfOrd, yesterday to
Odd Fellows Cemetery, the place of
interment. She was esteemed by her
circle of friends &C woman of sterling
virtues and especially valuable as q
help-mate to her husband, and in the
domestic relations of the family. She
was usually of robust health, but her
sickness was of short duration, having
! ventured out too soon after an attack
of the grippe. She leaves besides her
| husband five children.

TIE number of persons, many of
them members of Church, whose long
needless indulgence in bed prevents
them and possibly other members of
the family from getting to church,
seems to be increasing. If there is but
little difference between the sin OF
omission and commission, as we are
taught, the boys who go out to take a
game of baseball on Sunday will have
little more to answer for than these
self-indulgent people who violate the
chief object of the institution of the
Sabbath, by indulgence in pleasure
of another kind.

VERY beautiful ice formed the last of

fall ten degrees below the freezing
point, and there was good skating on

was however, less than two inches
thick. While the ice men were wish.
ing for a day or two Of cold weather

Forest City Commandery of Portland
went to Lynn Sunday on visit to their
brother Knights of the Golden Eagle,
Essex Commandery. The visitors were
escorted through the principal streets
Monday, there being two brass bands.
Barges were taken to Nahant, where din

Col Bradbury Evades Local Issues-Mr
Walter Rounds ON His Native Heath
Alexander Higgins Loses
His Team.

The Democratic meeting which Col.
Bradbury addressed at Scarboro Mon
day evening was not great affair. Col.
Bradbury confined himself to general is
sues and did not say a word about Sher-
Tiff Cram. letting up.,'' The fact is, the
Democratic campaign speakers are prot
ty well smoked out of that hole. Mr..
Walter Rounds, whom the Argus has
dropped as if he were a hot potato, was
prominent at the meeting. No Demo
cratic gathering in Scarboro or in the dis
trict is quite complete without the dulcet
tones of Alexander Higgins, the Mira
beau of Scarboro, and they were heard
Monday evening calling attention, as u.s.
ual, to "a crying abuse. In this case
someone had stolen Alexanders horse
and wagon, and the fiery orator meant to
have his team back if he had to wade up
to his chin in blood. But up to the early
morning hours of Tuesday no traces Of
the team had been found.

The Tennis Tournament.

Yesterdays play in the championship
tennis tournament proved more interest
ing and exciting than that of Monday.
The match betwean Trask and Emerson
begun Monday was finished, Trask win
ming 81. Coffin of Deering, found East
man, of Portland no easy opponent, but
after losing the first set Sc, managed to
defeat his man, who played carelessly at
times and drove many balls out of court.
Both men made good stops but the Deer
ing lad won by his steadiness. Score SO,
go, 6-3.
Donnell of Staten Island, who is looked
upon by many as the winner of the tour
nament, defeated Trask, 6-2, 81, in a
good, though one-sided contest. Don
nell's steady play and cross court stops
received considerable applause and his
opponent made several beautiful drives
from the back of the court.
In the afternoon the only match in
singles was in the semi-fnal round be-
tween Holt, of Andover, and Coffin, of
Deering. Holt was the favorite of the
grand stand and his clever strokes won
generous, but his game though often
brilliant was unsteady and Coffin took
the first set, GA. In the second Holt out
played his opponent and won "a only to
lose the third and deciding set by the
same score.
The match of doubles between Pierce
and Pickard who won the intercol-
legiate tournament last spring and Trask
and Dewitt showed some clever tennis,
and was hotly contested throughout
though lack Of practice was noticeable
at times on both sides. The Bowdoin
team won GO, 6-3.
Today at IA. IN. Coffin will play DON
nell in the finals for the championship
and a good game is looked for. Follow
ing this Hinkley and Donnell play COT
fin and Morris in the semi-fnal round of
doubles. In the afternoon Pickard and
Pierce will play the winners of the morn
ing, doubles for the championship cups.
Throughout the day the grounds were
lined with spectators who were generous
with their applause, and still larger
crowd is expectedtoday, as the play will
probably be the best of the week.
