TWENTY ODD YEARS AGO.

I've wandered 10 the theater, I've been to the
great show;
I've listened TO the same old jokes heard long
years ago.
The villain died the same old way; his death
hard and slow;
The last act saw his finish. Tom, like twenty odd
years ago.
The heroine she suffered, Tom; you should have
heard her weep;
Her hair is golden in its hue for peroxide is very
cheap
She found the missing WILL though, Tom; she al
ways did you know,
When we went TO the theater some twenty odd
years ago.
The jokes were just the same ones, Tom about
the ma-in-law,
Likewise the goat the stovepipe and the female
suffrage jaw
And yes they sprung one about the good old
baldheaded row;
years ago.
The hero struts about the stage and hoarsely whs-
pers "Ah,
see it all!' And then the crafty villain mutters,
''Bah!"
The play is just the same, dear Tom; the plot it
thickens Sd
II looks the same as when went some twenty
odd years ago.
The soubrette is the same dear boy; she has the
same old wink
Her checks are just as radiant; they have the
same soft pink
She's billed as Little Totte" now, and, say, she
doesn't show
Her age much as when she played some twenty
odd years ago.

That Was Different.

"Mr. Binks." said the fond New York

him for his daughters hand. Il never
can trust my daughters happiness in
the keeping Of n man who wears a

The youth did not finch
"Well. you see" he remarked with an
air of easy nonchalance, Il can't tie the
old thing because my fingers are al
ways so stiff from cutting off coupons
from pas copper stocks"
"Shes yours, my boy" cried the
happy father and never let me see
you wear any other tie than a made up
oner'-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
