TIE HAPPY HOUSEHOLD.

It's when the birds go piping and the daylight

Then it's sleep no more for baby. and it's sleep

That hike as not that baby was the f,rst we'd

But saies alive! he isn't, yet we people make

AS If the only baby in the world had come to US!
And, morning, noon and nighttime, whatever

And, though tie doctor poohed our fears and

It makes US all feel good to have baby on the

We had to ride many and many q

and the line of stages that led to our

Potts was a lively fellow, as round

darker, more t2citurn.
Potts entertained his passengers with
a series of jokes, squibs, anecdotes,
mysteries, legends and tales. Kramer
attended strictly and solely to the bust

ing the present year. the sum Of $4,000
was inserted for Jefferson Park. In its
report to the CITY Council this amount
was stricken out. and no money has been
appropriated for the continuation of the

the sum Of $1,000 was appropriated TO
start the work Of establishing the park
and later in the year the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings transferred the
sum OF $1,000 from the account OF Libby
Hill Park TO that OF Jefferson Park, in
order TO continue the work.
The appropriation for the present year
granted to the committee consists Of the
sum Of s6,675 for the payroll for the

department. out OF the amount all the
