A WOMAN AND A BABY.
What She Did With 1t While the Car Was
Going Three Blocks.


A woman got into a Cold Springs car
the other afternoon. She was carrying
a sweet-faced baby, which was not
more than six months old.
The car was detained on the corner
where the woman got on, and she
shifted around nervously in her seat
for few moments and then began to
toss the baby about Here is true
description of what she did with that
child while the car was going three
blocks.
Held it upright on one knee for
thirty seconds. Then shifted it to the
other knee
Pulled it up against her and Rugged
it twice.
Tossed it on her left shoulder and
then shifted it to her right shoulder.
Held it up to the window and then
stood it up on her lap.
Made cradle out of her arms and
jumped it up and down about six times.
Placed it on her left knee. Then put
it on her right knee.
Laid it on its stomach in her. lap.
Rugged it to her bosom and patted it
seven times.
Held it up at the car window again,
then pulled it over to her left shoulder,
shifted it to her right shoulder, and
wound up by dumping it on her lap,
Tossed it in the air dozen times and
Rugged it four or five times.
Laid it on its back in her lap and
then turned it SO that it lay on its
stomach.
Patted it for minute and hummed
"Hush-a-by, Baby" although the child
wasn't making sound.
Put it on her knee and joggled her
knee up and down, shook in front OF
her, holding it out at arms length, and
then Rugged it ecstatically three times.
Held it up to the window for the
third time and then, when the con-
ductor came after her fare, laid it in a
mussy lump on the seat beside her.
Patted it some more, joggled it some
more, tossed it some more and topped
it down on it's stomach again.
Held it out at arms length and gazed
at it rapturously. Talked gibberish tc
it and Rugged it some more.

used to distinguish them by the differ
ent terms we used in carving them.
These terms you never hear anybody
use to-day. Suppose, for instance, you
were taking dinner with some friend
and your hostess was to ask YOU to
sauce capon.' What would you
think she meant? The only things
that were carved in those days were the
flesh of sheep and oxen. To be abso-
lutely correct you would have to border

RETROSPECT.

The roses were not just so sweet, perhaps,
AS we thought they would surely be,
And the blossoms were not so pearly white
AS OF yore, on the orchard tree;
But the summer has gone, for all of that,
And with sad reluctant heart
We stand at rich autumn's open door
And watch its form depart
The skies were not just 80 blue, perhaps,
AS we hoped they would surely be,
And the waters were rough that washed ouI
boat,
Instead OF the old calm sea;
But the summer has gone for all Of that
And the golden-rod is here;
We can see the CLEAN of its golden sheen
In the hand of the aging year,
The rest was not quite so real, perhaps,
AsEe hoped 1t might prove to be, -
For instead of leisure came work sometimes,
And the days dragged YEARLY;
But the summer has gone for all of that,
The holiday time is DER,
And the busy hands in the harvest field
Have garnered their golden store
The summer was not such dream, perhaps,
or bliss as we thought 'twould be,
And the beautiful things we planned to do
Went amiss, for you and me;
Yet still it has zone, for all OF that,
And we lift our wistful eyes
To the land where beyond the winter SHOWS
Another summer lies,
