being received at iron mills, and prices
are steady. In structural and finished
material there is much business, and ac-
tivity is becoming almost universal in the
iron region. Boots and shoes begin to
recover after many weeks of idle wheels

643, 900 pounds, against 12,056,5OO year

Why, l thought at first twas jolly.
For, you see,
| s'posed l could go and get him
And mamma of course would let him
Play with me.
But when I'd once looked at him,
l says, My sakes, is that him?
just that mite?
They said, Eyes; amt he cunnin'?"
l thought they must be funnin'-
He's sight.
He's so small, it's just amazin'
And you'd think that he was blazin',
He's so red
Anu MS HOSc IL llhG " DGTIN,
And he's as bald as Uncle Jerry
On his head.
Why, he isn't worth dollar!
All he does is cry and holler
More and more;
Won't sit up, you can't arrange him
| don't see why pa don't exchange him
At the store.
Now we've got to dress and feed him.
And we really did't need him
More'n a frog;
Why'd they buy baby brother
When they know I'd great deal ruther
Have dog?
Exchange.
