When papa's sick, my goodness sakes,
Such awful, awful times it makes;
He speaks in, oh! such lonesome

And gives such ghas'ly kind OF
groans,
And rolls his eyes and holds his head,
And makes ma help him up to bed,
While Sis and Bridget run to heat
Hot-water bags to warm his feet,
And | must get the doctor quick
We have to jump when papa's sick
When papa's sick ma has to stand
Right side the bed and hold his hand.
While Sis she has TO fan an fam
For he says he's "a dyin' man.
And wants the children round him to
BE there when "sufferin pa gets
through"
He says he wants to say goodbye
And kiss US all and then he'll die;
Then means and says his "breathin's
thick
It's awful sad when papa's sick.
When papas sick he acts that way
Until he hears the doctor say:
You've only got a cold, you know;
You'll be all right'n a day on SO;
And then-well, say! you ought TO
see,
He's different as he can be,
And growls and sWears from noon to
night
Just cause his dinner amt cooked

And all he does is fuss and kick
We're all used up when papa's sick.

MOVABLE POSTOFFICE.

The postofiiro department at Wash
ingt1n has ordered an innovation in
the postal service by the experimental
establishment of a "postofice on
wheels" to operate in the vicinity of
Westminster. Nd The service, which
is to begin soon, calls for the use Of
a postal wagon to travel over desig-
mated route in rural districts Mail
boxes can be placed at some point on
the route for every farmer living
within q mile or two from the proposed
route and mail will he collected there
from One important feature Of the
contemplated innovation. which, if sue
cessful, win be extended generally, Is
that it Will have money order and reg
istry matter facilities.
