Little Boy Hue.

A<tttho kSOy DUO
The little toy dog is covered with dust
But sturdy and stanch no stands;
And the little toy soldier Is rcd with rust
And his musket molds In his hands,
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair.
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
SNOW don't you go till I Gomez he said,
sAnd don't you mako any noise!p
So toddling on to his trundle bed
He dreamed Of the pretty toys.
And as he was dreaming. an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh. the years are many, the years are long
But the little toy friends are true.
Az. faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand
Each In the same old place.
Awaiting the touch of little hand,
Tho smile OF little face
And they wonder. as waiting these Ions
years through.
In the dust Of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there

A PHYSICIAN advises that it is a
good plan to ride up in an elevator,
but to take the stairs for the de-
scent. Walking up flight of stairs
is hard, and sometimes risky, as in
the case OF persons with weak lungs,
defective respiratory organs or heart
disease. But going down stairs hurts
nobody, and is good exercise; going
down rapidly is even better thing,
as it shakes up the anatomy without
any danger of overexertion.

BROOKLYN Is just now good place
to move from. DR.. Smith Ely Jellip-
pc has examined the Brooklyn water
supply and finds that 1t contains
twenty-eight kinds of live animals
and eighty-four species of vegetables.
In the list are algB, diatoms, des-
mids, rhizopods, rotifers, and infu-
soria of many species. That's a
pretty kettle of fish to set before a
town like Brooklyn.

hail the alphabet party is always an
event In child's life, and there is a
gentle rivalry among friendly moth
ers as to the age at which their chill
dren are entitled to the right to the
party.
As soon as little boy or girl has
mastered the alphabet thoroughly
