that the public should have become

THE MAN BEHIND THE BABY

You can hardly read a paper without
being sure to find
Some sentimental poem on the man who
is behind.
Hoes, cannon, picks and muskets and
some more are on the list,
But the man behind the baby in it's GO
cart has been missed.
The others may be heroes and quite use
full in their ways,
And more or less deserving Of a poets
fervid praise;
But they cannot hold a candle to theman
we love to meet
Behind the cunning baby in it's go-cart on
the street.
With all the pride and dignity new papas
will display,
And nerved against the silly jokes his
funny friends essay,
And feeling so responsible he pushes on
it's trips
The go-cart- and the baby with the bottle
at it's lips.
1t is an inspiration to bashful single
man
To see this small procession with the
bottle in the van;
And notice how the women who are pass
ing have to stop
And gaze with admiration on the image
of it's pop.
No nursemaid's cold Indifference he
shows to baby's cries;
He'll find the pin that's pricking and he'll
keep away the flies,
And he'll adjust the bottle when it tum-
bles from it's place
With true heroic dignity BETTING to the
case.
He'll nicely dry the baby's chin and wipe
Its little nose,
And soothe It, oh, so motherly, and
smooth it's rumpled clothes,
And never lose his temper though it puZ-
zles him lot
To know just what's the matter with
the screaming little tot.
He'll talk to it the prettiest of baby talk
until
The baby thinks he is a fool-as smartest
babies WILL
And he will cut up capers just to make
the darling smile,
Regardless of the people who may won
der at his style
But when the little carriage has double
Two bottles and two babies and-not one
of them a boy
The man behind that trouble may not
show it in his phiz,
But all the same a hero, and q big one
too, he is
You may talk about the courage of the
man behind the gun,
Who often is so frightened that he hasn't
strength to run;
But for a finer ourage-when his wife
is tired out
The man behind the baby is the man to
brag about.

The honest. earnest, straightforward
experiences of real living men and

such testimony is worth more than a

pie who have used Dodd's Kidney Pills

SOME STRANGE HAPPENINGS.
Mr.. r. j. Kent, the great operator,
paced slowly up and down his room,
but never missed an examination of
the tape as it escaped from the
chattering ticker, by an interval eX-
ceeding half minute. AS the hour
of two approached, the little machine
became furious in it's efforts to keep
pace with the operations of the
sweating, swearing and struggling
brokers, two blocks away. Mr.. Kent
let the tape slide through his fingers
and read a record which translated
was as follows: 5000 shares Sugar

Mr.. Kent stepped to. his private
telephone.
"Who is selling that Sugar." he
asked his broker.
Street & Rogers are selling most
OF it now. Brokers for Morris &
Hauser of Boston, and Wright & Fan

ing ST. Paul, Jersey Central, Balti-

prompt answer. 81 advised the office
of it some time ago.
"Who is the selling for?"
'sNo one seems to know"
what do Ravens brokers say?''
'"They seem to be up in the air
They are still buying Sugar"
"All right. Goodbye"
Mr.. Kent called up Mr.. Haven, the
great sugar magnate.

Then came the final disaster. II

of the gentlemen mentioned had been
at the Hotel Lafayette, and that the
dispatch was bogus, having been sent
out by a commission house which
took this method to recoup some OF
it's losses. In the crash which fol
lowed several houses went to the
wall. Their holdings were thrown
on the market. Sugar dropped ar
extreme 40 points. Other securities
suffered in proportion. A man stood
in the middle of Broad street and
blew his brains out. Staid old invest.

paid dividends for years dropped five

they had been selling on good news
and buying on bad news. Again
their brokers stood in the breach
and bought Sugar, B. & O., ST. Paul

Steel and Iron from men who seemed
willing to give it away. When the
gong sounded at three o'clock, the
signal that this awful day was
ended on the Stock Exchange, these
brokers were yet surrounded by
swarms of men frantic in their eff.
forts to sell stocks at any prices. II
was midnight before the lights went
out in the Offices of Street & Rogers
Scores of haggard men arranged pri.
vate settlements on terms which
would permit them to remain sol.

The profits of the unknown prin.
