The hens few up tree
had u circus in the yard
With twenty other boys
I'm goin' back TO grandpa's
Where they ain't afraid Of noise.
He didn't make me comb my hair
But once or twice a week,
He wasn't watchin' out fer words
didn't OTter speak;
He told me stories bout the war
And Injuns shot out west.
Oh, I'm goin down 10 grandpa's,
Fer he knows wot boys like best.
He even run a race with me,
But had TO stop an cough;
He rode my bicycle and laughed
Becus he tumbled off,
He knew the early apple trees
Around within mile.
oh, grandpa was a dandy,
An was in it. all the while.
] bet you grandpa's lonesome,
/ don't care what you say;
I seen him kinder Cryin'
When you took me away.
When you talk to me of heaven
Where all the good folks go,
] guess I'll go to grandpas,
An Wen have good times know.

matters. 1t is a proud distinction she
claims, being the only woman monk eX-
tant, or lady monk" as a dime museup
proprietor would word It, and she sets
great store by the title. Put a monk may
have a temper as well as an ordinary
person, and when the last grand theo-
sophical pow-wow was held here the
Swami positively refused to have anything
TO do with it, and declined to appear on
the platform with Mrs Besant and her
followers, knowing, too. what a pictur-

etiquette to concern oneself with filthy

still the question will haunt one: What
does this avail the Swami, since In her
dignity she spurns all gate receipts.
OF schemes whereby womankind may
coax unwary nickels and dimes-yea, and
quarters, and even big, round silver dol
lars-from defenseless mankind's reluct-
ant pockets for the benefit of some pet
charity, verify there Is no end, says the
Chicago Chronicle. Newport is credited
with having furnished society with the
latest novelty in this line in the shape of
a garter show" to be held at the Casino
shortly. Unless all signs fail it will be a
notable AFFAIR.
In the summer the very richest OF the
social cream of all our big cities rises to
the surface at Newport. 1t is the maids
and matrons OF this very exclusive set
who are to contribute to this show-pre-
sumably from their own personal supplies.
The men are to view and admire, and vote
for the prettiest, the winning garter to be
sold for charity. The owners of the gar
ters are TO remain unknown. and any wo-
man unlucky enough to have her garter
identified will forfeit $50.
II is pretty scheme and likely to prove
a profitable one-especially the $50 forfeit
clause. Charity will probably get more
out Of that than out of the sale of the
voting privilege-for of course the men
will pay literally for their ballots-and of
the winning garter combined. For who
would not willingly pay a mere trihe like
$50 to be known as the proud possessor
of $500 pair of garteTs? And that let
me tell you, Is no unusual price to pay.
