Mr. Runners Monkey Show,

The lamented death of Mr.. II. c. Bunner
was the subject Of sympathetic comlnehS
at a recent luncheon and one woman spoke
of Mr. Burners fondness for children ana
his keen enjoyment of their uncon sclous
humor "SeveralC years ago." she said'
'sthere was q monkey show in that rep
resentation of an old London street, then
to be seen here on Broadway. One after
noon my husband took our two children
over there, stopping on his way at the Of
flee of Puck on a matter of business. Mr.
Runner Immediately captured the children
and carried them into his office, where he
enthroned the little five-year- girl on
his desk and exerted himself to entertain
her. When her father came in few min
utes later to get herself and brother, Mr.
Buuner helped her off the high perch and
bade her an elaborate goodbye, shaking
her hand and asking her to come again.
A little overawed with the ceremony, the
small miss received it all in dignified silence,
then looked up and asked seriously, but
with evident anxiety: Papa, is this the
monkey show?' Mr.. Burners delight at
this was very sincere. He never forgot it
and always afterward asked after his
ironical young friend or his admirin G
visitor, who ranked him with the simians.' :"

Heard In the Silly Night.

The man in the upper berth leaned over
its edge, and jamming his frown firmly
down on his brow, cried in harsh, coarse
voice that was audible over the rattle and
rumble of the engine:
Hi, YOU, down there. Are you rich?'
Help calculated the man in the lower
berth, almost swallowing his Adams ap
pie "WhaZzer mazZer?"
Il say, are you rich?''
whats that, sir? Rich? What do you
mean by waking me up in the middle of the
night &c ask me such question as that?
Il want to know; that's why"
"well, then confound you, am rich.
Now 1 hope your curiosity is satisfied and
you will let me go to Sleep
"Very rich?'

"And won't he yield at all?''

There's nothing so provoking as that.
Papa began that way, too, but brought
him around all right
.'Oh. did you? Tell me how you ever
did it?''

seashore I'd practice economy"
Roses studied a moment.
Papa" she said, ''said we must go to
the mountains because it was so expensive
at the sbore.''
Then why not promise TO be economi-
cal. aud perhaps he will let you go?"
"But don't know how / can be economi-

THEIR HONORS AT PLAY.
The Politicians Playing With the
Children in the Park.


Three judges cast aside their official
dignity one day last week and romped and
played on the green In Central Park, with
800 boys aud girls. The dignitaries were
Supreme Court Justice Leonard A. Giege-
rich, Judge Joseph E. Newburger, of general
sessions, and Civil Justice Henry NJ. Gold
fogle. The children were vigorous young
Americans, who live on Political Row."
The event was termed u May walk, but
it was May run and romp so far as the
children were concerned, and day of
torture, mingled with pleasure, for the
judges and politicians.
The youngsters went to the park in spe-
cial Belt Line cars, decorated for the oc-
casion. Then band led the way, the
Judges and politicians, two abreast, follow
ing, with the children in the rear. The
latter ranged in age from six to fourteen
years, and all wore red, white. and blue
hats and c1rried flags. The girls were
dressed in white. of course, and while
the boys were not In uniform, they were

with him.
For the rest of the day the children played
ball, circled around Maypoles and ate ice
cream, sandwiches and cakes until, at 8
O'Clock they were very willing TO start
back to Political Row" III the evening
they were entertained by the East Side

organization which Contains more young

SIX years Of much harder times than wl
now have they will have but them,
selves to blame for it. The silveritet
are fighting for their interests and ara
not caring for the interests Of the farm
er or mechanic. Their politicians voted
in the Senate to defeat the Dingley bill,
which would have provided enough rev.
enue to run the Government without
selling any more bonds. They voted
that way in order to compel the Repub-
lican Senators to vote for free silver
coinage. BY that vote they showed
their readiness to throttle anything or
everything in order to bring about their
pet measure. Note the argument run
ming through all their speeches, Bryan's
particularly. They are trying to array
the farmer and the working people
against the money power-bankers,
manufacturers and capitalists. They
have nothing but their unreasonable as
sertiOns to advance as a cure for our
present hard times. while the Republi-
can party can point to the great benefit
that ample protection has already done
for US, through the Mckinley law with
reciprocity to open up the South Amer
lean markets to us as 1t did In 1892. Ii
we have protective tariff thot will run
the Government by providing sufficient
revenue. that same protection will start
our manufactures and gi,-e employ
ment to honest toll Mt good wages. and
prosperity will spread all over our
blessed land, making the farmer a.
happy as the employed mechanic.

The lawn was green and freshly cut,
But just across the way
A 'factory" stood in silent gloom,
AS in reproach, to say:
"Get on the grass ten thousand strong,
The turf is good and deep
Around "McKinley's porch" this fall,
Take neither rest nor sleep;
Crowd in from every town and State
And hear word of cheer;
Then bear it out, and tell it DER,
The people wait to hear;
That good old times" are coming back
For every trade and class.
Ring bells, swing flags, stand up and
shout,
We're walking con the grass
