HIS WONDERFUL PARENT.

HIS WONDERFUL PARENT.
Papa went a-fishing
With his pockets full of bait;
He went all by his lonesome,
And the luck he had was great.
He came home, bringing with him
A string of fish that weighed
Just twenty pounds, he told us,
And a lovely meal they made.
Papa went a-fishing
Upon another day,
And mamma she went with him
He couldn't say her nay.
They came a-trudging homeward
All tired out at night,
And mamma told us pa
Had never had a bite.
My papas broken records
OF nearly every kind
A greater man than he is
1t would be hard to find.
He is always doing wonders,
But here's what bothers me:
He never seems to do them
When folks are there to see.

LOAFING DAY.

The lazy boy sprawled on his back
and squinted at the sky,
Wishing he were the long winged bird
that slantwise sailed on high;
For the day was lapsing swiftly, half
way from dawn to noon,
And the breeze it sang: 80 lazy
boy, what makes you tired SO
soon?'
But the lazy boy was silent, and he
slowly chewed a straw,
Vaguely mindful of the thrush that
whistled in the haw,
And half aware of bleating sheep and
of the browsing kline
Far scattered over slumbering hills to
the horizon line.
Happy, happy, was the boy a-dream-
ing sweet and long.
Famed by the breeze that tossed the
haw and RATED the thrush's song
For the whole glad day he had to
loaf, he and himself together,
While all the mouths of nature blew
the flutes of fairy weather.
The years great treadmill round was
uO1iSs 1uo VI uuS6Iy ehuou WILL
And now the sunny holiday had
caught him in it's spell,
So that he lounged lazy lout, up
squirting at the sky,
And wished he was the longed-wing-
ed bird that slantwise sailed on
high.
It's good to work and win the wages
of the strong;
Sweet is the hum Of labor s hire, and
sweet the workman S song;
But once year lad must loaf and
dream and chew straw,
And wish he were falcon free or a
catbird in the haw.

THE PRESS AND THE G. A. R.

Philadelphia has always been q
Grand Army town and the approach
ing annual meeting of the Grand
Army promises to Guido any recent
gathering in number, in enthusiasm
and in full, patient and costly prep
aration for the welcome, the comfort
and the convenience of the city S
guests.
Each step in public preparation and
pageant will be chronicled in the
Philadelphia Press. Committee meet
ings, plans, programmes, reunions,
formal and informal gatherings,
stated meetings and special assem-
blages will all have a space, atten-
ton, detail and accuracy equaled by
no other paper. AS always ON these
special occasions, the Press will give
all the views in the best way and in
the fullest manner.
But much remains. Personal re-
unions between man and man are not
less important than public Individ-
ual meetings count for as much as the
great throngs which will march in
procession and gather in the Academy.
Many man will come to this great
assemblage of his comrades thirty
four years ago anxious first and chiefly
to meet some one comrade unseen for
generation.
The Press proposes accordingly to
throw its columns open in aid of ev-
cry such man. From now until the
end of the Grand Army encampment
the Press will print free of charge all
personal requests and announcements
by any comrade directly relating to
any other comrade, or lost equipment,
army service, etc. Beside printing
all the news of the encampment the
Press desires, in order to make it sue
cessful, to open its columns freely to
all such announcements by individual
comrades which will aid in enabling
them to meet each other, to find each
other and to enjoy to the utmost this
great gathering, to so many comrades
their last assembly before taps are
beaten. We take sincere pleasure,
from now ON, in offering our columns
to each individual Grand Army man
for the object and purpose indicated.

An amusing incident is told by the
custodian of the public library of an
up the river town, says the Detroit
Free Press. 1t seems that young
lady patron was very anxious to read
f, Hopkinson Smiths "Tom Grogan, !"
but was unfortunate in always finding
it "out." The librarian finally prom
ised to notify her by telephone next
time the book was returned. 1t came
one day and the librarian promptly
rang up the young lady "Tom Gro
gam is here and you must come down
right away, just as soon as you can. .
1t happened that the young lady's ia
ther answered the telephone, and not

replied: "Tom Groganl Who's Tom
Grogan? And what has he to do with
my daughter? If any young man
wants to see her let him come up to

hearty laugh over the wires.
