Tommy's idea of Babies.

"Babies are usually young. Now and
aeain specimens may be found or
twenty years and over Real, live, un-
mistakable, heard-a-mile-on babies are
always young.
Babies have features. With a good
miscroscope you can see baby's nose.

right over to the back of It's neck.
baby's ears are put on for amusement.
solely TO relieve it's great expanse or
check The places where It's eyebrows
ought TO be are there, but the eye
brows have not arrived. which gives
rise TO a suspicion that babies are
1bare-faced creatures. A baby has eyes,
which eyes Il chiefly uses 10 express
astonishment--eyoked no doubt, by
the antics and language of those
about. Ii has a mouth. too, which IL
keeps for putting its hands ana rect

pieces of coal, and other odds and ends
II may find lying about. A baby
mouth is by far the most useful OF It's
possessions.
Babies wear clothes. The chief OBJ
feet aimed at I'm dressing baby Is TO
lose the baby among the clothes. lr
you have foot and half or two feet
of baby, you will require from forty
to fifty yards of clothes 10 dress IL
properly. The reason for this Is that
every baby Is the best baby that ever
was born, and the fact must be en-
phaszed. Besides. somebody might
wish to steal It; and In such case
the longer he had TO look for 1t, the
greater would be the chance OF catch
ing him."
Girls, it's the incest plan In the
world to kiss your father, in loving
greeting and farewell as he goes in
and out every day, for some day he
may go out and never come home
again.
"Crambo," in new version. is played
as follows: One writes question, folds
the paper over, and passes IL on. The
next adds a noun, folds IL again, and
again passes IL TO his neighbor, who
must add a rhyme in which the ques-
ton is answered, always weaving In
the noun. An example given at a re-
cent party will illustrate: Where are
you going, my pretty maid?'
"Gumdrops."
"a maiden chanced on sunny day
To cross the field where L raked the hay
Her cheeks were rosy, her hair was
brown,
And she looked queen in her russei
gown.
Where are you going?' asked the lass
TO buy some gumdrops; please let me
pass
So stood aside. and she went her way
But / often think OF that sunny day,
And that queenly girl with her hair o
brown.
Who charmed me so In her russet gown

OF sport, especially the rhyming por

Prohibition advocates in New Hampshire acknowl-

In proof OF this the Baptist State Convention

We note with sorrow the open violations OF the
prohiDtory law In our cities and towns, WIN tne
evident permission or our commissioners, Mayors

You also comment as follows:
Tho law ls everywhere violated with the tacit
approval OF the officials charged with Its enforce

violation.
Doubtless the severe arraignment Of officials
charged with the enforcement of law Is wholly
mcriied az to two OF the largest counties and all
but two OF the cities OF the State. And denuncia-
tion of these delinquent officials cannot be too
severe, especially "a tho prohibtory law mas Deen
