The Boy That Lived.

Once / read a story of
A little boy that died.
l did not like that story and
laid it down and sighed.
But / know another story
About a little boy
Who did not debut lived to be
His mothers greatest JOY.
He was the only little chick
His good old mother had,
And, oh, ii nearly drove her wild
Sometimes, he was so bad.
NOW this will never do
The wise old mother swore,
And so she hid an apple switch
Behind the wardrobe door.
And then this little boy would gaze,
With fearful eyes and sore,
Whenever she went q hunting there,
Behind the wardrobe door.
And so il came to pass, you see
Explain IL If you can
That this bad boy grew up to be
A very good old man.

You cannot have failed to notice the con-

fact as a justification for Max ORelrs

HIS WARDROBE ON HIS PERSON.
One of Suspicious Trio Was Decidedly
Overdressed.

Patrolmen Johnson and Kimpel last night
arrested three boys. Alexander Myers,
George Smith and Richard Hyatt, all col
ored, who were seen acting suspiciously
around the Union Station at a late hour.
At the police station 1t was found that
Myers wore several suits of clothes. On
his person were found a razor, a billy"
a pair Of scissors, several small knives and
several rings. Smith had a revolver, two
masks and counterfeit dollar. The razor,
knives and the revolver were new, which
leads the officers to believe that the three
have recently raided a hardware store. The
billy" and the masks give rise TO the
opinion that the three have been engaged
In highway robbery. The boys all claim to
be strangers in the city. They were slated
on charges Of carrying concealed weapons

ChamberInin TO Unionists.

EDINBURGH, March 22.-Joseph Cham
berlain addressed a crowded Unonist meet
ing here tonight. In the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Chamberlain said Gladstone had
left his successor a heritage of woe. Lord
Rosebery's recent speech delivered in Edin-
burgh, did not seriously change what he
had said in the House of Lords, and his re-
marks fully justified the action of the
Unionists and peers. Lord Roseberys
frankness on the question of the disestab-
ishment of the church in Scotland ap-
preached the verge of cynicism and justi-
fed Voltaire, who had said that the British
only had enough religion To serve their
political purposes. Chamberlain concurred
with Timothy Healy in the belief that the
House of Commons ought TO be dissolved.
