all join in singing the same; but the
children associated with the tune an
other ditty, with which the East end
ers' youngsters are more familiar,
which is as follows:
shut up your public houses,
Shut up your public houses,
Shut up your public houses,
For we want none of your beer"
And they commenced to shout this with
all the strength of their young lungs.
The landlords friend in vain shouted
to them above the din to hold their
noise, as that was not the right song,
saying: Shut up, you young devils"
and the children, hearing the words
Shut up" thought he intended them
to shout louder and longer Especially
as he was gesticulating violently, and
this they did, and kept it up until they
we're bundled unceremoniously into the
street, the publican's NJ. c. calling them
the most upgrateful little wretches he
had ever seen. My informant, who was
the Snowman himself, told me it was a
comical sight to see the excited state
Bung's friend was in at the unexpected
turn things had taken. Straws show
which way the wind blows, and it is evil
dent that Bands of Hope in this dis
trict are teaching the children that
beer is not the necessity of life it was

band and wife were breakfasting at
little out-of-the-way restaurant, where
they were fated to encounter the tough
est piece of beefsteak their teeth had
ever tackled. "WeIl, | knew that it

was the answer. Surely this article
before us isn't of bovine origin; its
equine pedigree is plain as daylight"
Not long after this the same husband

was, if possible, tougher than that that

GEN. CLUSTERS HORSE.
Dead Several Years. but Items About
Him StiIl Flourish.

Almost every day newspaper readers
see a paragraph telling how the govern
ment takes care of old Comanche, Gus
Custer massacre. The paragraph al
ways tells how, by special order of the
military authorities, Comanche is pro-
vided with Il comfortable stall, fitted out
especially for him, in South Dakota.
No one, so the story goes, is allowed to
ride him and he is not permitted to do
any work whatever.
Then, as one writer put it feelingly
few days ago: "Riddled with bullets
and SCARED by saber wounds, his body
speaks eloquently of the perilous duty
once performed in his % years of serv-
ice under the government. He will go
down to history holding about as proud
a place as that accorded to the gallant
black charger that once carried Gen.
Sheridan to the field il time to save
the battle, 20 miles away"
Once this all might have been said
with every indication of truth. The par
agraFh. however. with various additions
and changes has made the grand
rounds JUS, as regularly as the good old
sea serpent story. Still there must be an
end TO all things, snd the Comanche
paragraph ought to end after this let
ter:
81 mail you to-day picture of Comanche
as he appeared in life. We do not possess
am photograph of him es he appeared in
his stall He died from Old age at Fort
Riley, KaE., November I. 1891 and was 81
years old He belonged to the Seventh
regiment of United States cavalry and was
cared for with great tenderness by the
regiment. Upon his death he was skinned
and mounted by Prof. Dyche, of this uni
versity. and placed in our museum
IF II. SNOW,
Chancellor University of Kansas"
Thus it will be seen that, according
to the newspapers, Comanche, though
dead, still liveth. Perhaps it is because
the man who writes the paragraph
has not yet learned to distinguish be-
tween a stuffed and live animal.--De-
troit Free Press.

TEMPERANCE.
A PUsLICAN'S ENTERTAINMENT.
Amusing Story Showing Good Work
Being Done by Bands of Hope.


An Actual Fact.
The following letter, which appeared
in the English Alliance News, is worth
very wide circulation. as it shows the
advantage of teaching temperance
songs to popular tunes:
Sir: A publican in my neighbor-
hood (NIile End), at Christmas, thought
it would be cheaper to give the children
of his customers (costermongers and
laborers) AN entertainment in lieu of
Christmas boxes, so engaged the serv-
ices of a local proprietor of Il Punch and
Judy show to give an exhibition of his
puppets in his large billiard room,
which was cleared out for the purpose,
and packed as full as it would hold of
youngsters. At the conclusion of the
show a friend of the landlord, who had
been acting as NJ. c. during the even
ing, made speech to the children, in
which he greatly extollcd the virtues of
his friend Bung, and told the youngsters
how thankful they ought to be that he
was such good, kind gentleman to
TO give them such splendid treat as
they had had that evening. When he
finished talking the pianist struck up
the tune: For He's a Jolly Good Fell
Low,' expecting the youngsters would

A New Way of Cooking Spinach.

Wash and pick over about half peck
Of spinach, throw it into boiling water,
and when it has boiled ten minutes
drain and chop it. Meantime chop fine
bundle of spring onions and fry them
in butter; mix them with the spinach.
Put large tablespoonful of butter in a
saucepan, and put in the spinach and
onions with salt and pepper. Add also
u cupful of rich, brown gravy. Two tea
spoonfuls of beef extract melted in a
cup of water will do in place of the
gravy. Let the spinach stew for about
20 minutes with the gravy or stock until
the liquor has been nearly absorbed.
Meantime fry in crisp roll six or more
thin slices of bacon and six eggs. Turn
out the spinach on a hot platter and sur
round it with the bacon and eggs.-N. y.
