Harlequin


backward and forward the rocker goes,
Waiting III" baby to sweet repose.
CLOSE by tn, cradle the mother croons
Lullaby, rorlaby nursery tunes.
Dreamily singing, she patiently tries
sleep to bring to the baby 5 eyes.
Minute by minute the evening fits.
Stiii in the chair he druW>ily sits,
Soothing and rubbing the aching gums,
Longing Tor slumber that never comes,
Rocking the baby that frettully lies,
Filling the room with its nervous cries.
Weary with watching, the mother sings,
Wuoing the god with the leaden wings.
Softer and softer the ditty grows.
Now the little ono's cyelids close.
Sinking at last into dreamlanG deep,
Mother and baby are fast asleep.

Thrifty George Curzon.

The Hon. George Curzon, who mar
ried beautiful Miss Letter, is decidedly
canny. He recently rented country
mansion furnished, but without the
family plate, and so was compelled to
provide candlesticks for the house. He
tried to exact from the landlord S agent
a pledge that at the expiration of the
lease he would take these candlesticks
off his hands at two-thirds of what they
cost. The agent demurred at first, but
when he discovered that they were 10
in number, of japauned tin and cost 40
cents each, he solemnly agreed to pay
81 for the lot when Curzon leaves.

Curious Policies.

Accident insurance policies have TAX
en- many curious shapes, ranging from
the penny in the slot to the coupon in
the weekly newspaper, but the limit
has been reached in London, where the
purchaser of book of cigarette paper
is insured for $50 for period of 70
days. The annual cost of this amount
of insurance is about 70 cents a year,
provided the holder of the novel policy
is not a cigarette fiend. The amount of
insurance is specifically set aside for
the defraying of funeral expenses in the
event of accidental death.-New York
