THREE GLOOMY SONGS.

A man had written a song called Teach Our Baby That I'm Dead" ]" and a quintet is singing it at local theatre. Unfortunately the whole thing is simply make believe. The man who wrote the song is not dead, and there seems to be no hope of outraged Ne mesis attacking the quintet which sings it. The song is about a man who is going to the penitentiary. It is under stood that if it proves successful it will be followed by Turn the Lawn Hose on My Grave on Sundays Only" and There's Nothing Left of Darling but a Little Sesamold." These are two very affecting songs, which have been delayed in publication because of a fear of turning too much gloom upon the world at once Chicago Record,
