Curly-headed Baby Tom

In his crib.
Bob-o'- Lincoln-oh, so wiseI
Goes to sleep meath the sunny skies.
Mid the leaves.
Mr.. Bruin, night and day,
Snoozes all his time away,
In mis- cave.
Squirrel-Red with nuts-a storei
In hollow tree-trunk loves to snore.
In the wood.
Mrs. Woodchuck meath some knoll.
DroWses in her bed-a hole!
Deep in earth.
Floweret bulbs nestled together.
Doze all through the WintTy weather
Meath the snow.
In the chrysalis hard by.
Dreams the sometime butterfly,
In corner hid.
Oh, what beds! So very queer!
Yet to each one just as dear
AS yours TO you!

he was exceedingly well up in that profess

good will, as If he had a personal interest

to which have alluded would never per-
NIT him to be drawn out, even in mo-

were not rare, as he was very nervous by
nature.
I am indebted to him for many wise
saws, but his pet one was: My boy, [

tr1buted largely by his energy and zeal to
promote the interests of a local corpora

had penchant for neatness, and even TO

held, and the verdict had well-uight been,

they look forward with considerable ap-

cease, which will no doubt be greatly ac-
ceierated by his lamentable removal. He

show the Catholic population of the
country to be over Il, 600. coo. An effort
was made this year to obtain statistics
regarding the Church in our new pos
sessions, the Philippines, Cuba and
Puerto Rico, but Archbishop Chapelle
and Bishop Blenk advised against it,
as it was impossible to obtain accurate
statistics. Each year on the issuance Of
the Catholic Directory a dispute breaks
out as to the accuracy of the statistics
of the Catholic population. Inasmuch as
these figures are all obtained from the
Bishops of the diocese, the blame for
errors must lie on them. The greatest
pains are taken to secure accuracy.
