When you announce the feat you

kerchief around, as has been suggested,
and when it is returned to you, throw
it carelessly over one hand and the
cuff of your coat, and with the other
hand quickly draw out one of the

it's natural shape without showing that
it has been compressed in your sleeve.
Then bring one from the other sleeve

A BOY | KNEW.

I knew a boy not long ago
(But now he's quite a man)
Who whimpered when tne sun was low:
And when the day began.
He whimpered (for l heard him once),
With gloom beyond control,
Because his breakfast bread-and milk
Was brought him in bowl.
He cried because his toast was burnt,
Because his tea was hot;
He cried because his brothers jam
Was more than he had got.
And morning bright, and noon and
night,
Wherever | could go,
Twas plain to hear his deep and drear
Unnecessary woe.
I'm thankful-oh, I'm very glad
Those dreadful days have passed,
And this extremely foolish lad
Has changed his plan at last.
But, on his brow | still can trace
That wrinkle of dismay;
For, once it settles on the face
1t never goes away
Now, Very Little Folks, my dears,
I'm very sure that you
Will never weep with peeyish tears
AS this sad boy would do
And Bigger Folks, of course, know,
Are far too brave for that,
And, since it's time for me to go,
I'll take my stick and hat
