A PULLET ~ THE POT.

There are many fragrant perfumes,
And at times they fill the air
With an OdOr SO cntlcing
That 1t seems to Danish care.
But there's one that's plainly captain
OF the whole delicious lot.
IT'S the incense that arises
From pullet Ia the pot.
You may talk Of scented spice groves
Far away in southern climes;
Sing of tropic fruits and flowers
In your most enchanting rhymes;
But the jingle of the music s
Very soon will be forgot
If you chance to smell the fragrance
or pullct In the pot.
There are times when shoals of trouble
Seem to l,Oat about my head
When the world seems set against me,
And | wish that were dead;
But all thoughts OF seft-destruction
Disappear upon the spot
II can but sniff the zephyrs
From pullet in the pot.
Then dyspepsia is forgotten.
or my eout do not think,
And long to give an order
Bout AS quick as you can wink;
And | chuckle when the waiter
Brings to me all steaning hot
Dumplings light. with richest gravy,
And that pullet from the pot.
Then | labor with the biped.
And when surround the whole
There's fullness meath my wastcUat
And sweet peace within my soul.
In my armchair then slumber
Well contented with my lot,
While in dreamland am rowing
With that pullet from the pot.
'TTou!d convert the most agnostic;
Drive away each evil thought
From an Anarchist or felon,
Till his woes be quite forgot;
And to help reclaim the fallen,
/ assure you there is not
Anything can hold u candle
To pullet from the pot.

MRS. HAZARDS PURSE.

Sybil Stanton stood at the window,
looking at the stars and wondering
whether anything lay before her be-
side the dull mon0t0ny Of life which
seemed wearing her out. Companion
to an ola lady-wcll, it did not seem
such hard life, after all, to others.
a good, luxurious home, a liberal sala-
ry, light duties; yct-oh, yes-yet it
was so dull Other girls not SO pretty,
had been wooed and won, and she had
not one lover.
II suppose | shall die an old maid"
sighed Sybil. "There's no romance
in store for me-"
"Miss Stanton, it's nine o'clock, and
Polly's cage isn't covered YET" cried
Mrs. Hazard, from her inner room.
Sybil sighed. The parrot was part
Of her prose. There were the parrot,
the canary and the poodle,
81 ought to rejoice in the canary"
she said, bitterly. "If | were like
other girls perhaps ] should, but
only long to open its cage and let it

She oversight herself next morning
and awoke to the consciousness that
it was late. Sybil dressed herself in
haste and bounced into Mrs. Hazards
dressing room.
In the middle OF the room she stood
pctrified with astonishment. Mrs.
Hazard was holding audience with a
young gentleman.
"No matter, Miss Stanton" said
Mrs. Hazard. "It's only my nephew
Fred, this is Miss Stanton"
And Sybl escaped to the adjoining
room.
"Shc is pretty" said Fred to his
aunt.
Shes very good that's better,
said Mrs. Hazard. "Ill see you at
breakfast, Fred"
And Mrs. Hazard retired to hel
room, leaving her newly arrived neph
ew to amuse himself as he chose. II,
prudently betook himself to the gar
den.
That was the first OF it, not the las
of it. The nephew, a sort Of rOllin!
stone gathering no moss, had beef
sent to Aunt Hazard to be done some
thing with--to be recommended some
where or get into something good.
A puzzled mother, with many othe
responsibilities and very small In
come, had suggested this in an incC
hcrent letter which accompanied he
Oldest son. And there was nothin
for it, as Mrs. Hazard said, but to tr

never knew her own mind even whe
she accepted Fred's father.
Fred stayed at Mrs. Hazards an

r1usic and the Drama.


Two great theatrical engagements will be
Richard Mansfield at the Auditorium and
that of Mime. Sans Gene" at the Coates.
Mr.. Mansfield, in addition to his familiar
repertory, will be seen in two great re-
vivals in which he will figure as pro-
ducer on a large scale. But from the
standpoint of theatrical production. moth
ing that will be seen in Kansas City this
season will surBass that of the Sardou
play in which Miss Kathryn Kidder will
be seen the entire week at the Coates. 1t
has been tremendous success, and is
said to have played to greater receipts
than any other Sardou play presented in
this country during the same length of
time. Seats are selling rapidly for both
engagements.
The Grand will next week have another
attraction hitherto seen only at standard
prices. 1t will be that excruciatingly
funny comedy, "Charley's Aunt"
"a Green Goods Man. will be seen at
the Ninth Street next week. It is the
third season of this play at this theater,
and it has always appealed profitably to
the followers of farce comedy.
There will be a milk White Flag mat
inee at the Grand this afternoon and
VANITY Fair matinee at the Ninth Street
Both attractions will close their engage
ments with to-night's performances.

Max ]. Levy and George E. Thayer in the
circuit court yesterday. The petition sets
forth that in April, 1893 a pretended tax
bill, for $3.50. which afterward came into
the possession of George z. Thayer, was
issued against lot of Mr.. Brownies, in Old
Town addition, in this city. The bill was
filed before Justice Shannon and made re-
turnable the latter part of April. The
constable made a non est return, where
upon the plaintiffs allege the case was con-
tinued seventeen times on the books, bring
ing it down to September, 1896, when a
Judgment was returned against the

O'Neili to Levy, who now holds the certifi-
cate of purchase. The judgment was one
for $3.50 and the accrued interest, amount
ing to $24.65.
