Going to Move.

A year ago Benson & Thorne opened up
the Lilliputisn Bazaar at 1415 Douglas
street. Their business has increased so
they have outgrown their present loca-
ton and en- July is they will remove to
1915 Douglas street, the room formerly &C.
cupied by the Rochester Shoe company.
Beginning tomorrow they start a grand re-
moval sale and offer a big discount on
their present stock rather than have to
remove 1t. By keeping a fine line Of chill
dren's wearing apparel. not charging ex-
tragagant prices, strict attention to busi-
ness. they have won the confidence of the
rublic-and there is very little question in
their new and enlarged quarters but what
they will more than double their last years

IL years, and l have known that
Arabella, the only daughter, has
poetic aspirations. On several Occa-

choice selections from her pen, but l

"The Wrath of Nature" and, being
about to send it to a publisher at last,

reading. The mother suspended the
task Of washing up the dinner dishes

The big dances al the rink on
Christmas and New Years nights
should be kept in mind by all who
delight in this amusement.
Here's the latest definition of a
sport: A boy less than fifteen years
of age who imagines he is well
versed in girlolog, wears high rubber
collar and a silly smile, and backs
up at one end of a cigarette with a
mug that has never been kissed.
"A three-year old girl was
taught to close her evening prayers
during the temporary absence Of her
father with land please watch over
my papa. It sounded very sweet,
but the mothers amusement may
be imagined when she added, land
you had better keep an eye on
mamma too"

somehow, and stand for you when
you run for office, and lie about your
pigeon-toed daughters tackey we'd
ding, and blow about your big-footed
sons when they get a four-dollar-a
week job, and weep over your shriv-
eled soul when it is released from
your grasping body, and smile at
your giddy wife's second marriage.
He'll get along. The Lord only

Fifteen dead and 100 wounded
is the result of the football games
for the season of 1902 Considering
the number engaged in the pastime
it equals the casualties of many
battles. These are only the severe
injuries. Most every player has
been injured slightly. These acct
dents we're not counted. The in
juries we're of a more Serious mature
such as broken legs, arms, ribs, etc.
Strange to say thai most of fatalities
were among novices. Few profess
sional players were injured and prac-
tically none Of them were killed.
This is accounted from the fact that
the professional players understand
the game and are thoroughly hard
ened to it before entering the scrim-
mage. Even with these fatalities
staring them in the face it will not
deter any young man from engaging
in the game.

He knows a dozen languages,
And scholars love to quote
From various massive volumes which
In leisure hours he wrote.
He turns upon a hieroglyph
A swift and casual look
And reads it just as easily
AS If it were a book.
And yet he stands upon the curb
With troubled brow and muses..
He cannot understand the slang
The little newsboy uses.
