Innocent Brides.

Occasionally bridal couples visiting
Washington amuse listeners by their COM
ments on the ''sights" shown them by a
local guide. The Washington correspondent
of the New York Tribune vouches for the
following incidents:
A well dressed and intelligent young wo-
man, leaning on the arm of a young man
whose relation to her no one could mis-
take, inquired of the guide accompanying
them, pointing to the picture in the eastern
wing of the senate of Commodore Perry at
the battle of Lake Erie:
'Is this Washington crossing the Della
ware?''
An equally unsophisticated bride, look
ing at wretched copy of the well known
picture of Charlotte Corday In Prison, y
which hangs in one of the rooms of the
White House, remarked:
II always thought it an outrage for the
| government to hang that Mrs. Surratt.
Doesn't she look too sweet for anything
behind those prison bars? How could they
| ever hang herr"
Still another bride stood musingly before
| the statue of Hancock in the capitol, or
| the pedestal of which are chiseled the
words, ''He wrote his name where every
native should behold it, and time Itself
should not efface it.

One of the strongest hits at the Or

The French have a great talent for
.the grotesque and the eccentric in the
matter of stage performances. They
have besides the art of making these
performances amusing. The Maisanos

have a musical turn wherein they use
the most unexpected objects for instru-

THE Campaign POET

Alas, he's with us once again.
The campaign poets herei
Serenely he is bobbing up.
This is his fruitful year.
Oh. where. oh, where has he been hid
Since last he sang his songs?
We really hoped that he was dead
And somewhere he belongs.
Alas, our hopes were all in vain
He's more alive than ever.
And now We'll see him turn the crank
And pull the organs lever.
Gee whiz, what wheezy strains we hear;
It's music on a bust.
The four years rest the poets had
Have clogged his throat with rust
PRAY let some public-minded man
Prepare some dynamite.
And hoist this poet far above
The stars that shine by night.

ago printed a picture of little girl feed
ing ducklings and asked the children for
stories descriptive of the Illustration,
which should be printed if deemed wor-
thy, a couple of Sundays later. "A
daughter of Los Angeles secured the
place of honor among the successful
stories. and her story is printed below.
One fine morning the Reed family de-
cided to take their lunch and spend the
day at Golden Gate park, so that their
four children-Irene. Jessie. Teddy and
Theodore-might enjoy themselves.
Now we must leave Mrs. Reed to pre-
pare lunch and hear something about
Violet Brook. who lives next door to the
Reeds. Violet had smelled the cakes and
cookies all yesterday as they came out of
the oven in Mrs. Reeds kitchen, and
could imagine seeing them put in the
large basket ready to eat. Now you
must not think Violet never got these
things, for her elder sister, Fanny. often
made them. But l dare say they were
not quite as nice.
Violet's father was dead and as her
mother was poor, she could not enjoy as
many good things as her neighboring
playmates.
She watched with longing eye as Jes-
sic Reed went in and out of her house
on errands, and listened to her-"Oh,
Don't you wish you-cttfti SCI :''aih tim"
This was very wrong in Jessie, ana
really think a girl of years ought 10
know better, though we will excuse her
as she was very excited. NeVertheless
Violet caught every word of it and
thought it over and over again. and az
last decided to consult with her sister
Fanny But l am sorry to say that Fan
nv, who was not noted either for kind
ness or gentleness, and did not feel like
consulting over anything, said: "Oh,
run away. vi, and do not bother me-
he, har n moment TO go
out with me, and I haven't got my hair
curled yet" Violet said nothing, know
ing it would not do any good. and ran out
in the garden to speak with her pest
friends, the flowers.
! She was out there but very snort
time when a loud "good-by' was heard,
| and Violet looked up just in time to see
| the last wave of Jesses hand. But she
| did not pay much attention to it, for she
| was really hurt; no, not as much as 10
| have even waved her hand back. Turn
! ing to the flowers again she went on
| chattering.
Violet stood in the center of the flower
bed. and presently the wind blew the
| tops Of the rose bushes about her face,
as if to enable them to hear her words.
| At a very interesting point, and where
| Violet expressed her feelings most there
came another 'good-by." On looking up
! she saw Fanny and Vera go struttlng on
! with their curls and crimps. Now our
poor little friend was all alone. What
| should she do? So tired of everything
All of a sudden she heard gruff voice
saving: Ducks! Ducks, Ducks,
Ducks! Five cents apiece" Violet went
nearer to the fence, and, sure enough
she was quite right.
