Granny Tommy to Head Nurse
Hulsey, "Geney, have the babies
been looked after this morning2"
Geney--"No Granny, Baby Nc
Kay and Tottsy Tottsy Taddy, have
been so fretful this morning that
they just pound their little heels and
1 can't get their soiled clothes off of
them. Baby Mckay just kicks his
covers off so, and scratches and
squeals until all the other babies in
the nursery hate him. If little
Lorenza gets anything, Baby Mckay
wants it and just acts horrible.
Lorenza got pretty picture paper
the other day that had pretty letters
on 1t and a government seal that
said commission, and little Frankly
Just acted awful. He scratched and
howled, and just had to be spanked
by Supt. Sands OF the nursery before
he would behave. He was deter-
mined to grab that paper, and just
spit at Lorenza real dirty. And
there is pc or little Taddy, he is 80
cross. or course he is sick so much,
/ don't expect much better. He got
such tantrum the other day that
/ did. not know what to do with him.
/ got some pictures and held them
up to him to quiet him. The first
was a picture of Nash, and the child
liked to have had spasms. The next
was a picture of Postmaster Vickers
and he just grabbed it out of my
hand and tore it to fragments, and
Baby Mckay grabbed part of it and
chewed it up and spit it all over the
other babies. I then got down a
beautiful oil painting Of General
Grosvenor and they both just more
than scratched and spit. I didn't
know what In the world to do with
the babies, and was SO glad when
Superintendent Sands came In. He
drew from his pocket a picture of
man with long beard, and the
babies laughed right away, and
tried to pull the beard on the pic
ture. I believe I will raise long
beard and let them pull it to keep
them quiet. Granny Tommy, let
them pull your nice thin whiskers to
keep them quiet this morning., .
Enter Supt. Sands, Granny, how
are the babies this morning3" =
Granny Tommy, 30, they ere SO
fritful. Do, Mr.. Sands, get out that
pretty picture again with the horse
tail beard, and try to quiet the
babies" .~"l.-'- '- j.. fa

"Here tootsy, tootsies; look at zee

The babies yelled and pounded
there little pink heels terribly, and
the Superintendent marveled at their
actions, looked at the picture and
discovered it was former likeness
OF Doc. Campbell. that the Journal
was going to use when they thought
they had him turned down by Doc.
Lyons. The Supt. put 1t away again
with a frown and brought out the
right long whiskered picture this
time. The tears dried on the cheeks
and the babies crowed with delight.
"Bless your little hearts," sooth-
ingly said the Supt., "You know
what you want, uon't you. Yes, zee
little babies know what zey want.
Iey want zee big man with zee big
wbiskers. Yes, you shall have him
when ever you want him, if I don't

Granny Tommy with milk, ,"Yes-s,
bless your little hearts," (slnging)

And Lorenzo has got the pretty boon;
And the boogie, whiskers man,
Is put away again,
