And a wiser brownie too,
And you don't believe
Just wait until I'm through
Aud you know it now n only
You'd take good look at my faco.
Why it's all swelled up twice tho size
OF any on the place

But wish d >taid at homo.
For Just had dshts he whole day long,
And bout noon W shed night would come
For you see hIll Smith hit me,
Right here in both the eyes.
Ana they just swelled mp as tight.
And couldn see the skies
But then we ha hard lessons
And al Mt have 60 spell.
And I'll get to play the whole long day,
Until my eyes get we'll
I'm 'fraid they'll soon DO well,
Cause they don't feel near so tight,
Then III have 10 get my books again
And study and read and write.
That's only one of the things
That happened az school TODAY:
The teacher had great big stick
And poked the es that wanted 10 plav
He didn't poke me. but 'spect he would
II my eyes hadn't swelled upso,
just made the othors laugh,
And they got the whippings, you know.
And then shot some apple seeds,
just as easy as could be.
And hit boy on the neck
And now he's mad at me.
And then threw paper ball
And hit another one
And the teacher drew me up for that
Ana said, That wasn't tie place for fun "
And he put the ug Hest great big cap
Right down upon my head,
And stood me In a corner.
Aud then most wi he'd was dead.
And then crooked a nice new pin
And put IL in seat.
Ana Tom Jones sat down on IL.
But he jumped-oh, about ten foot
And then pulled a seat away
W hen boy was sitting down,
And shook the house when he hit the floor
Cause he weighed about 200 pounds
Then at noon found a hornets nest
And poked it just for fun
guess that made the hornets mad,
For-my how they made us run.
They didn't sting me. but some of them
Got inside hoy sleeve
And stuug him right in schooi,

Cause he just sat there and sorseohed,
We didn know what about

And-saw them falling out.

New York. July 2i.-The trolley car
strike. both In Manhattan and Brook
lyn. seems to be practically at an end.
General Master Workman Parsons
SAYS Il is not. and yesterday az a meet
ing Of the Central Federated union he
launched a new scheme for a new
labor political party. and at the same
time urged upon the delegates Of the
various trades unions In greater New
York the expediency OF contributing
TO a fund to aid the strikers. and the
delegates promised their financial sup
port. This is probably what causes
General Master Workman Parsons and
District Master Workman Pines 10
promise important developments In the
strike situation this week.
II Is a fact, however, that both Sat
urday and Sunday cars we're being run
under almost nominal headway on all
the lines except the Nassau through
out Brooklyn, even TO the various
beaches. and carrying large numbers
Of passengers.
In New York, except for the presence
of several hundred policemen on Sec
bnd avenue. and guards about the vari-
GUS power houses. a strike would be
out OF consideration. There was no
delay in the trolley car service in Man
haitian yesterday on any line with the
exception of the Second avenue line.
and that is affected but little.
1t is stated by the police officials
that this evening or tomorrow at the
farthest, most OF the police who have
been guarding the property Of the rail-
road companies will be withdrawn.

THE BODY MAY BE oREMATBD.

should It BE Decided TO Have Funeral
Services John Clark Ridpath VIII BE
Invited to Deliver the Oratlon-Mr.
Ingersoll's Charity Kept Him Poor.
New York. July 24.-Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll died comparatively poor
man. There is, It is said, an insurance
of 100000 on his life; that is all. Yet
the great agnostic made from $4,000
to 100000 year every year since the
war. What he did not spend on his
family he gave away.
81 don't think the colonel left a
WILL" said his brother-in-law and sec
retary, G. p. Farrell. 'If he did,
don't know of it, He was a great
money Garner, but poor money saver.
For perhaps 30 years his income was
immense, but others have had the
benefit of all that he earned in the
law and in lecturing. What he did not
spend on his loved ones he gave away
in charity"
| A check received at the office of the
Equitable Life Assurance society on
Saturday. mailed by the colonel the
day before from Dobb's Ferry, was
dated ahead and was for $15649, the
amount of a premium on $4,000 policy
due Aug. 4. This showed that he felt
that the end might be near. 1t is likely
the widow will receive the insurance
on her husbands life before 1t is legally
due.
The body of Colonel Ingersoll lay
on an improvised bier yesterday in the
bedroom in which he died at the home
of Walston H. Brown, his son-in-law,
in Dobb's Ferry. Many men of all sorts
and conditions, but mostly humble
toilers, made the pilgrimage to Dobb's
Ferry in the hope that they might be
permitted to gaze once more upon the
noted agnostic. In no instance was the
request refused.
No arrangements whatever have yet
been made concerning the funeral. Mrs.
Ingersoll and her daughters, Mrs.
Brown and Miss Maude Ingersoll, are
still too much overcome with sorrow
to consider the matter.
"They cannot tear themselves from
the beloved dead" said Mr.. Farrell.
"They have not left the chamber since
he passed away, except to go into an
adjoining room when visitors who
wished to see him called. They can
not reconcile themselves to the idea
that they must part with him, and
all illusions to the removal of the
body only cause distressing outbursts
of grief. 1t may be a few days before
they are calm enough to discuss the
steps that necessarily soon must be
taken for the removal of the body"
Mr.. Farrell expressed the conviction
that the body will be cremated. If II
is not it will be buried in Sleepy Hol-
low cemetery, at Tarrytown, where
Washington Irving rests. If any fu-
neral exercises are held it is expected
that John Clark Ridpath will deliver
the eulogy
At the request of the family George
Grey Barnard, the sculptor, who was
a warm personal friend of the colonel
visited the house today and made q
death mask.
