The Scorchers Farewell to His Steed.
with apologies to McGuffey's Third Reader. ]
My beautiful, my beautiful Thou standest
meekly by,
With proudly arched and glossy frame and
sprocket gea-ed go highl
Fret not to roam within the park with all thy
winged speed;
may not scorch on thee again-thou TT pinch
ed, my silent steed!
Fret not with that impatient tire sound not
the warning gong.
They'll check you in basement damp because
scorched along.
The bike cop hath thy handle bar-my tears
will not avail.
Fleet wheeled and beautiful, farewell, for
thou'rt held for bail
FAREWELL Those fat pneumatic wheels full
many a mile have spun,
To bask beside the Cliff House bar or do CEN
fury run.
Some other hand less skilled than mine must
pump thee up with air;
The patent lamp that won't stay lit must be
another's care.
Only in sleep shall behold myself with bend
cd back
Only in sleep shall thou and avoid the trolley
track,
And when churn the pedals down to check or
cheer thy speed,
Then must I, starting wake to learn thou 'rt
pinohed, my silent steedl
All, rudely, then, unseen by me, some clumsy
chump bestride
May wabble into rough brick walls and dish a
wheel beside,
And compressed wind that's in thee 'scape in
shrill, indignant pain
Till cruel man that on thee rides will fill thee
up againi
With slow, detected foot / roam, not knowing
where or when
I'll meet good Samaritan who'll kindly loan
me ten,
And sometimes to the park CO. drawn in m
hopeless quest;
twas here / struck record elliptic copper
did the rest
Who said that had given thee up? Who ga
that thou vert lost2
TITS false, tits false. my silent steedl fling
them fine and costl
Thus-thus leap upon thy back and hit the
asphalt TRAIL
Away, my bright and beautiful pawned my
watch for ball.

CHANGING HER NAME.
a Strange Tale of a Helpless Babe and
the Divorce Habit.

When her girl baby was born, it was
perhaps natural that Mrs. Howard should
name the infant after Julia Smith. her
dearest girl friend, who lived in Chicago.
So the infant was christened Julia Smith
Howard and as such remained for year.
At the end of that time Miss Julia Smith
had become Mrs Lancaster, and as Julia
Lancaster Howard sounded better than
Julia Smith Howard, the helpless babes
name was changed while she was strug-
Cling with her first teeth.
Soon after news came from Chicago that
divorce court had dissolved the ties which
bound MIR. and Mrs. Lancaster and the
wife had been restored to her maiden name.
While Mrs Howard was wondering if 1t
would be advisable to again change the
name of the child, the matter was colnpli-
Gated by the marriage of her dear friend to
Mr.. Vandergrift The letter in which this
news was told came from the dear girl
chum, and as she was wildly enthusiastic
in extolling the virtues Of her new spouse.
Mrs. Howard changed the name of the
child to Julia Vandergrift Howard by the
simple process of announcing that the
change had been made.
Alas for human frailty The later mar
rage of the dear girl chum lasted but
three months, and while Mrs. Howard was
trying to collect her thoughts cards came
announcing that Mrs. Julia Smith Lencas-
ter Vandegrift was married TO John Wayne.
Having made previous changes, Mrs. How
ard decided to make still another, and her
daughter became Julia Wayne Howard
But the matter did not end there The
dear girl chum seemed to have become a
victim of the Chicago divorce habit, and
Mrs. Howard decided to keep up with her
or die trying.
AS result the daughter began an ex-
hausting process of altering her name.
She was known when she first went to
school asA Julia Hamhead Howard. She
passed into the grammar grade as Julia
Porkchoppe Howard, and entered the high
school as Julia Wynneclitfe Howard, grad
uating as Julia Abattoirre Howard. She
made her debut as J Julia Primrose Howard
and often congratulated herself on the fact
that she was the oldest daughter and con-
sequently had her cards engraved without
any given name; otherwise the cost for
new plates would have been considerable.
The announcement that she was to be
married gave her name as Julia Schmeythe
Howard but her wedding cards bore the
name of Julia Boggs Howard. Then re-
lief came. She became the wife of John
W. Dingbats and henceforth used his name
as her own. She lost track of the dear
girl chum of her mother, whose matri-
monial exploits had been such personal
inconvenience to her, and at this day real
ly does not know what her name is, except
that it is Julia Something-or- other How
ard Dingbats. -W. Bob Holland in Truth
