Billy Fools Old Sourface
And Gives Him q Cold Xmas
Dear Girls and Boys:

Dear Girls and Boys:
A merry Christmas to each and
every one of you dear little folks, and
may the bright, happy years ahead of
you be as full of joy as this wonder
ful day, Just to think! The day we
have all looked forward to for so
many weeks has at last arrived, and
l wish with all my heart that / could
cali on all my little friends today and
hear about the good things which /
know Santa Claus has brought each
one
Christmas in the land of the Polly
wogs is not observed as a great holi-
day like it is on Earth. The people
here, in fact, do not know anything
about it, and when / told them how
we celebrate it at home they asked me
so many questions that got tired and
had to tell them / was only fooling.
But such trick as played on old
Sourface, the poet, You know. he
gets funny with me every once in
while. and | just made up my mind
that / would get him good punish
ment, and he's down in the dungeon
now all by himself, where Pol1ywog
rats are likely to come along and
make things lively for him.
This was how it all happened. |
was just about to go into the Kings
apartments when l heard talking.
The king, you know, lets me walk
right in without being announced, and
was just getting ready to go in and
have a chat with him when I heard
somebody say my name. | listened,
and 10. and behold you, there was
that old Sourface telling the king that
/ did nothing but talk to hear myself
l just up and played trick On him,
and while |. was doing it / remem-
bered my promise to YOU and took
some pictures with my little pocket
camera You will find the pictures in
the paper today, and know you will
be glad to know how l got ahead of
Sourface.
In spite of all the Christmas shop
ping Mike has had to do he has found
time to draw puzzles to mystify little
club members. He has made UP a set
OF rebus pictures and has given you
some more hidden proverbs to make
out 1t strikes me that Mike has been
making a deep study of proverbs since
came away from home. | cannot ac-
count for it unless he thinks that you
are not good at such puzzles. Well.
you've fooled him SO far, and l know
you viii have no trouble in guessing
the double proverb puzzle he has
fixed up for today.
Now, little folks. have a fine time
today. am sure that a happier set
OF little children is not on the great big
Earth this morning than the members
oil the Billy Bounce Club, and in the
midst of all your happiness and Joy |
want you to remember that although
| am long way off, am, neverthc-
less, Your faithful comrade.

MOTHERS COMFORT.

Two pairs of brown eyes looked into
mine. ~
Two boyish faces grave
Asked me the wondrous question old
Mans dignity to save
Now tell us truly. mother, dear,
Is 1t quite really true
The story that we've heard today
Bout boys and girlies, too?
Sugar and spice and all things nice
Little girls are made o.;
But snaps and snails and puppies tails
Little boys are made o'?''
1 caught my laddies to my heart,
For their hearts seemed so sore
Yes, part of that old song is true
Just half-not one bit more.
. It's true that girls are made of sweets
And everything that's nice;
or graceful, dainty Ioyeliness,
They re precious beyond price
But boys-ah, there's the diffenence,
They're made of grandeF things.
OF all that's brave and bold and true,
And all that honor brings
So girls are laddies' sweethearts, dear:
They're sweet and loving, too;
But all this world I'd not exchange
For two such boys as you"

He hasn't gotta notion OF how children
ought to play;
He can only make a fool OF me in
every sort of way
He stays so close beside me, he's a
coward you can see;
I'd think shame to stick to nursie as
that shadow sticks to me,
One morning. very early. before the
sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on
every buttercIp;
But my lazy little shadow, like an ar
rant sleepy head,
Had stayed at home behind me and
was fast asleep in bed.

MARY MAUD.

Now Mary Maud is visiting u.s.,
have the hardest time
Trying to be-oli. so polite.
She doesn't know how to climb
The very easiest apple tree.
And then, she's 'fraid of cows,
And kind of fraid of hens, I guessi
Besides-her mother lows
Her hair TO hang in great long eurls
Mines in the tightest braid
Ever my folks can get it in.
/ don't mind when she's fraid
OF things; / say, just as polite.
What would You like to play2"
But when / think about her curls,
] most wish she'd so way:

MY SHADOW.

Robert Louis Stevenson, IN 4 Child's Car
den of Verses,
I have little shadow that goes in and
out with me
And what can be the use Of him is
more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels
up to the head;
And I see=him jump before me. when
I jump into my bed.
The funniest thing about him is the
way he likes to grow
Not at all like proper children, which
is always very slow.
For he sometimes shoots up taller, like
an India rubber ball,
And he sometimes gets so little that
there's none of him at all

For fear that he, might hear me

A Q-RIoUS TOY.
This dear little man from Che-fu
Who was known by the name of Thing
Ku
Had never a toy
Such as children enjoy
Save his own little funny thin queue,
He could make 1t a whip or a string,
Or a snake with a terrible sting;
He could tie it in knots.
And, my goodness what lots
Of tricks he could play with the thing
No wonder he lessaskew;
Was there ever, in all Che-fu.
A happier lad than the little Thing Ku,
With his little thin queue, think you?

 at Pittsburg
ALLEGHENY AND MONONGAHELA
 RIVERS ON RAMPAGE.
Reaches Thirty-Five Foot Mark-Shut Down of Works and Mills, and Loss to Property and Men Will Run Over the Million Mark.

Pittsburs. Jan 23.-The flood dan. ger at this point passes all the way along, and both rivers continued to rise until a. 5 o'clock this afternoon B 1-10 feet were registered at the Monongahela wharf From that time on the waters receded slowly until 10 o'clock, when the guage registered 2S feet and stationary, with the tenn. perature lower, and a slight snow fall. ing. The Allegheny is still full of running ice, but it is much thinner than earlier in the day. From a high water point 10th the Allegheny and Monongahela river reports show them either stationary or falling.
 The actual damage done at Pitts burg will not reach the high figures as first given out, and will probably not exceed half a million dollars, but to this amount, however, must be add ed the loss to manufacturers and mills through forced shut downs, and workmen through the suspended wages, which will run to the total amount of almost million. No loss of life is reported.

 Head Blown OH-More Careless
 ness.
 Tombstone, Jan. 23.-A striking ex- annie of the carelessness of men ac- customed to mining, and the knowl- edge of the danger of unexploded holes loaded with powder, was manifested here tonight. Working in the big shaft of the Grand Central mine was a young man, and most excellent min CT. named Charlie Morgan. Morgan had filled his holes and Set the fuses to work, when all the holes exploded save one. Morgan, waiting a short time for the last to go of, and failing to understand why it had not, went down to discover the reason therefor. Just as he reached the hole in which was still the undischArged powder, it exploded, blowing the top of his head oil, and killing him instantly. Morgan came here several months ago from Colorado. and has been at work constantly. being considered one of the best miners in the employ of the company. But little Is known of his connections. but it is expected that these will become known at the inquest. which will be held Sunday morning.
