LITTLE MISS BRAG.

Little Miss Brag has much TO say
To the rich little lady from over the way;
And the rich little lady puts out a lip
As she looks ut her own white, dainty slip
And wishes that she could wear gown
As pretty as bingham Of faded brownl
For little Miss Brag she lays much stress
On the privileges Of n gingham dress
AHA,
Oho!"
The rich little lady from over the way
Has beautiful dolls in vast array;
Yet she envies the raggedy homemade
doll
She hears our little Miss Brag extol.
For the raggedy doll can fear no hurt
From wet. or heat. or tumble, c. dirt
Her nose Is linked, and her mouth Il, too,
And one eyes black and the Others blue
AHA.
Ohio!
The rich little lady goes out TO ride
with footmen standing up outside,
Yet wishes that sometimes, after dark
FER father would trundle her In the park
That, sometimes, her mother would sing
the things
Little Miss Brag says her mother sings
When through the attic window streams
The moonlight full Of golden dreams
AHA,
OhO!"
Yes, little Miss Brag has much to say
To the rich little lady from over the why
And yet who knows but from her heart
Often the bitter signs upstart-
Uprise to lose their burn and sting
In the grace Of the tongue that loves Il
sing
Praise Of the treasures all It's own
So I've come tn love that treble tone

Ohio I"

PRENDERGAST INSANE,

are many people in the country who really
believe that he is anything hut an insane

extent of dangling at the end OF the hang
mans rope. The enormity of his act has
almost made ii advisable TO hang him,
in Difference to popular claInor. just as was
Guiteau. who was insane, in the opinion
of experts in psychiatry. The fact that such
illegal executions by process OF law have
a salutary influence as a deterrent of
cranks and strongly tend to break UP the
crank waves that threaten DIT times to sweep
over our country, is entirely undeniabe.
while at the same time the question, Is it
right? is rarely asked. The times are rips
for a new departure in the method of the
legal handling of the criminally insane
that is. those insane who have committed
crimes. There should be especial provision
for unfortunates of this class, for they do
not belong. in a prison or in an ordinary
insane asylum, but in an institution ~espe-
cially equipped for the criminally insane

His Sweetheart's Face,

They found him, when the musket rattle
Had died away,
Lying where the fiercest battle
Ragged all day;
Unknown his name,-they only knew
He fell in strife,
But where the breast blood trickled thro'
They read his life;
For there his cold hand held face
Serene and fair
Features in mold Of virgin grace,
Framed in gold hair,
And stern eyes then grew soft with tears
To think that they
Had held the same hope thro' those years
AS he that lay
With life light put in sad eclipse
BY bullets hiss
SO near the sweet and waiting lips
He lOnged TO kiss.
