under her ear, where he reaches round
to the rosy cnin and lips and kisses
them in true bird fashion. But not
content with this ardent demonstration
ae insists On making the little girl open

each tooth with his tiny beak. If she

cheek until he finally obtains his own

restaurant serves more meals the year
around than that on Ellis island, which
caters to everybody from the commits
sioner down to the poorest immigrant
who, for lack of cash. is awaiting de-
portation. On an average 5000 meals
a day are served on tables, to say moth
ing of the hundreds of meals packed
in boxes to be carried away by immi-
grants going to the interior. And
there are no deadheads. Every meal
served except to the restaurant help
Is paid for. The commissioner and

And listening TO the noise.
He turns the crank a time or two.
Sits back and let's her go.
And "Suwanee River roams at large
And wanders TO and fro.
He thinks that any noise he hears
Is meant for an encore.
And SO he winds Ii up again
And plays the tune once more.
He works OF all the ancient tunes
And ali tie modern stuff
Until the poor machine must be
Inclined to cry, Enough"
