This Is an age of freedom in dress

our grandparents spoke of the eccen
4ricity of man who allowed a beard
to grow on his face. OF twenty-five

3lshed, all but five are strangers to the

of our Presidents shows no well-beard-

THAT BOY OF MINE.

He's rosy as the summer sky llAG
At dawning Of the day; /. ~
His little "goo-goo's" signify
The things that he would say.
He's innocent Of all desire
In babyland to shine,
And yet the neighbors all admire
That little boy of mine.
Like many other baby boys
He dearly loves row,
And oft | wish he'd stop his noise,
And smooth his troubled brow.
But when his little eyes are dry
Where tiny sparkles shine
The wealth Of Klondike would not buy
That little boy of mine.
His faults are few--if faults they be
| tell them in joke
To visitors, but generally
Feel sorry that l spoke.
For ere they have chance to laugh
His grandma cries, why, Joe,
You used to make more noise by half
Some thirty years ago"
Then as we lay him down to rest,
In childhood's snowy bands,
And fold upon his little breast
His chubby little hands;
In pure and perfect innocence
He looks almost divine
The sweetest gift of Providence
Is that wee boy of mine.

Chances of Sinking Duty.


Chances of Sinking Duty.
A young Westerner who nailed a job
in one of the departments about year
ago got into the habit from the jump of
putting in time slip pretty frequently,
explaining each time to the chief of his
division that his wife was very delicate
and that she had sent for him. Then
the young man would repair to his ia
vorite maison de lush and put in a cou-
pie of extra hours of enjoyment or cross
the river on the electric cars to that
large shed where even money, and even
money only, is given against race
horses that are 3 to / at the track, or
otherwise toy with the blithesome
hours.
During the past summer the young
Westerner tore one hour off the daily
stunt every day, leaving the office at
o'clock, and put in a slip, informing
the chief of his division that his invalid
wife was staying out in the country,
near small Virginia town, and that
If he didn't catch the 1915 train he'd

ably have tipped the beam easily at TO
pounds and whose cheeks werelike wild
roses, walked into the office of this
chief of division and sweetly asked if
she could see her husband. She was
the young WeSterner's wife. The chief
told her that her husband was out at
lunch. She said she wouldn't wait and
swept out, regal, handsome, the very
model and picture of robust physical
health.
Say" said the chief of division
who is malarious, dyspeptic and ema-
ciated-to the young Westerner when
the latter returned from his lunch,
''where did you say your wife spent last
summer?"

place, not without wondering If any
thing had happened to put his chief
