The Mnn who rna rive paughters.

A citizen Of Higglnsville, Mo-, who
had five daughters saw one of them
married to a gentleman named Short.
The next was wooed and won by a
man named Brown. Two young gen
tlemen named Poor and Little led the
third and fourth daughters to the al
tar, and not long ago, IL one Of our
Western contemporaries tells the
truth, the youngest Of the little flock
gave her heart and hand to an esti.
mable citizen of the name Of HosE.
Everything passed OF pleasant, until
the guests were partaking of the wed.
ding supper, when the disconsolate
father got up and said:
81 have taken pains to educate my
daughters that they might act well
their part in life, and now find that
all my expectations have come to
nothing but a Poor, Little, Short,
Brown, Hogg."

WHEN KATY PLAYS.


When Katy plays the violin
/ tremble and go daft
II isn't that the music whlrls
Nv senses in melodious swirls,
But her diminuendos show
Such graceful handling Of the bow
She's mistress of her craft.
When tucked beneath her saucy chin
Then l adore the violin.
When Katy plays the violin
The parrot in his cage
Goes into spasms as the strings
Express unutterable things.
Then with a nerve sublime he dares
TO mimic those select fantares,
By shriekng out his rage.
The cat and dog increase the din
But | adore the violin
When Katy plays the VIOLIN
1t makes dreadful noise
But oh, those dear artistic charms,
The music of her dimpled arms
There's invitation in her face
Her head thrown back withreckess grace
A kiss in equipOise.
Now I've confessed-absolve the sin
Why / adore the violin.

Let timid sailors homeward fare,
Let fearsome prophets cry "alaclS!"
When captains Of high purpose dare,
There is no turning back.
The charm Of indirection lures
The fotsam drift on ocean wide
Adventures, whose hope endures

But, here and there, there sail life's seas
Stout hearts that strive to weather all
Nbv stormy doubt nor calm's long ease
Their faith shall overhaul.
