oN BABIES.
George Tells of the Different Kinda Of
Babies He Knows.


There is three kinds Of babies. Babies
that amt horned yet. babies that is horned
and babies that never OFT to bin horned, and
doll babies, but cats babies is kittens, and
dogs babies is pups, but cows baby is a
calf, and so forth.
Babies Is bawled and bald. Good babies
is the kind you read about. They are most
ly dead, or else they belong TO luther foxes
and not to you.
A baby is q small pece of bkeething skin
which is like unsupported awl over
(goalx). Some foxes uses them for clocks,
because baby's insides is all full of yells,
and when be goes off it is night, and most
parunts knows IL is time for them to git up.
Some babies wasinvented by Mr.. Edison,
and some by luther men.
Babies is devided into 2 kinds-boys and
the kind that never OF to bin borned-
gurls. But twins and triplers is the luther
kind which comes in groops.
Babies ain t got no teeth, but they want
to swaller thare oan fists and everything,
the littul suckersi But thare is too mulch
babies in. this world anyhow. If docturs
would only mind there oan bisnis and cure
sick foxes mnrs and not 10 round for so
mulch new babies awl the time, the world
wouldn't have half SO mulch trubble.
They could cure awl the coliick and NEE
zles on erth by not finding no more babies,
and littul boys like me would get some
atenshun too.
If uthsr babies Growed in eggs like hens
you could eat them, and they wouldn't git
horned to squall and waste milk on But
ducks babies is called goslums.
Some babies is very tuff. You can drop
them ON the floor and mock thare beds on
the wall and slam them awl ovar the house
and they won't kick none, nor cry They
don't have no hopping Golf, nor nothing.
They never wake up, and tlare stummicks
don't axe, because they are full of sawdust,
and they are doll babies.
Our baby makes me tired-she crows Q
mulch. CESS she's stuck on herself
Uncklo bob don't like Babies no more. He
used to dote on them, but he don't dote no
more Ourn cured him. ma she let him
hold the baby and that settled it.
CESS unclk1e don't no the rite name for
pants, for when he was agoin away he
said that darned brat of onrn had damp
ened his ardor. He always was CRATE for
big words. But q mouse amt a rats baby
any more then q built is cannon balls
little boy.
Lams is baby shepes with wool whiskers
on thare outsides TO make clothes out Of for
storekeepers to stick you with. But if
babies could only stay littul they would be
happy, for When they git growed up and
havt to hump for living they find out
what hard, coaled spere this world is,
you bet.
Jay babies is horned on farms, and has
one nerse, which Is its muther but city
babies is brot up ON a bottil, and hast to
be interdused to its muther or times a
yere, because city muthers has got to be

DOWN O. TIE THISTLE.


On airy wings In sunny August days
Slow ssiis the thistle down
Through quiveripg seas Of shimmering golden
haze
Tho fairy shaliops float in ainless ways
And touch at many ports; but wanderers yet.
For distant AnfborsaEe their light sails set,
Though all too frail for voyage long, at last
zach bush and brier holds stranded vessels
fast.
While heapei. In drifts of summer fallen snow
Whole argosies lie wrecked the aedgo below
But when the trade winds sweep with deaolate
cry.
Fast, fast the thistle down.
Sped by the mad blasts, wildly fiutters high
Above the trees all landwafd blown. to fly
And geek in sudden turns and circlings wide
a shelter by the fierce gale still denied,
While from their moorings torn, the captives
rise
In snowy swarms like startled butterflies;
Far, far they so, and fade in headlong flight
Against the gray sky from my eager sigh.
The harvest of thcwinds thus reaped in haste--
Poor wandering thistle down
Is swiftly sowed in fields remote and waste
That fringe the dusty roads, whose bounds ara
traced
BY ragged ranks OF crowded stalks that show
But empty siIvcry crowns, from friend or foe
Kept safe by sturdy spines. The vanished
seeds
The early rains shall find. as onward speeds
The flying year. TIL under April skies
In countless hosts the purple blossoms wise.
