it she took, as reverently as if it
were a sacred treasure, a faded
bundle of petals and stems. Untying
it the note dropped to the floor, ana
there, after forty-two years, the lovers
were reunited.
Since then the couple have been
the best of friends. There was
something said of marriage, but
madame decided that the memory or
of youth would be ridiculed, and that
the noble sentiment would be much
better preserved by each living out
the remainder of their days alone.
They are happy in each others so,
ciety and often they go over the de,
tails of that love which was never
explained. They have a thousand
things to tell each other. They love
in retrospection, and all because OF
the timidity of bashful lover.

THEY ALL MouLT.

A pet canary bird that sang
And trilled and warbled gaily
Became morose, refused to sing
And grew more gloomy daily.

And anxiously Inquired

He's moulting and feels tired
The price Of eggs was running high:
We asked the why and wherefore.
The grocer said About this time
The hens are moultng; Therefore
They cease TO lay and loaf around
Or wallow in the gravel
And those who look for fresh-laid
eggs
Have a rocky road to travel
A peacock spread his plumage gay;
His voice was loudly calling
From early spring till autumn time
When maple leaves were falling.
We asked the owner why his bird
Was silent for a season.
He answered very hippantly
He's moulting; that's the reason"

In drouth or rainy weather

PATSY HAVEY IN A NEW ROLE
Genial Desk Sergeant at Police Sta
tion Plays santa Claus over
the Telephone.

The telephone bell in the police station
tinkled There was nothing about its ring
ing to indicate what or who might be at
the other end-whether someone requesting
a "hurry-up" to a murder or merely a
of wrong number. Sergeant Havey
hastily dropped his work, reached for the
receiver and was saying hello" even be-
fore he had It TO his ear. The answer
was not an excited, despairing cry for the
police, but wee, tiny, piping,
rs this Santa CLAUSE"
The sergeant was very busy and his
first impression was that someone was
attempting a joke, so he cut everything
short, he said: Nav, this is Santa Claus
brother" He was about to hang up when
he heard:
"Oh! Can't l speak TO Santa Claus?"
Havey thought he would see il out so
he said. Yes. this is Santa Claus / was
only joking. What is it you want?"
oh! Welh ia like, TO have n doll"
and then followed a long list of articles
for which some little girl had longed for
many a day, and which Santa Claus, al
though It was already past Christmas, had
failed to bring her Havey listened at,
tentively until the list was complete, and
then questioned the little one regarding
her age. conduct in the past and prospects
for the future, and received the information
that this was the 9-year-old daughter OF
a family well known in certain circles Of
Omaha; that they had been away anC
separated so that they could not celebrat,
Christmas on the proper day; that she haC
been a good little girl and would do he
best to keep on being good. Havey talkeC
with her a few moments, and then, tn
| thought OF the fond parents taking in hal
the conversation lighting up his face in
broad smile, he bid the little one good
night and told her to 80 TO bed. He wa
still smiling when a reporter came in

good citizenship principles carried out in

fifty boys at the farm are organized into
a Juvenile municipality and made amenable
to certain laws adopted by the "city coun-
Gill;" consisting of eight OF the boys. Such
