Admiration,

Soon after the first baby was born,
the young wife went upstairs one
evening and found her husband stand
ing by the side of the crib, gazing
earnestly at the child.
AS she stood still for a moment,
touched by the sight, she thought,
ooh, how dearly Charlie loves that
toy!"
Her arms stole softly around his
neck, as she rubbed her cheek caress-
ingly against his shoulder. The hus-
band started slightly at the touch.
Darling" he murmured, dreamily,
"it is incomprehensible to me how
they can make such a crib as that for
fourteen and sixpence."-London Tit

I'D take little I could get along with
I'll promise to do that" says he
He did, too. About the second day after he'd
gone back to his son-in-law's place, he sends for
me to come over. l finds him walkin' around the
grounds spry two year-old
We'll says l, how did the folks take it?
He chuckles. "They don't know what to say"
says he. They can't see how a specialist who
charges five hundred dollars for hours visit can
be wrong; but they admit I'm good new
"How's Babbitt?" says l.
That's why l wanted you to come over" says
he. Nov, watch Then he lets out roar YOU
could have heard ten blocks away and in about
two shakes old wash-day shows up. "Ha you
shark -nosed sculpn!' yells the Commodore.
Where's your confounded tea cart? Go get it, srr'
Yes sir; directly, sir, says Babbitt He comes

"No sir" says Rabbit.
Are you, glad or sorry1 Speak. up, now"

as few as six of these day To your very good
health, Professor McCabe.'
Stand it? Well, 1 shouldn't wonder. He's
tough one. And ten years from now, if there's
another Spanish fleet to be filled full of shot holes
shouldn't be surprised to find my old Commodore
fit and ready to turn the trick.

Honest the old gent was SO sure he'd croak be-
fore mornin that he wanted to write some farewell
letters, but he too done up for that. tucked
him into bed, opened the windows and before could
get out he sawn wood like a hired man.
He still workin' the fog horn when went in
to rout him out at five o'clock. 1t was tough
Come on" says l. We've got to do three
miles and have rub down before breakfast. ="
First off he swore he couldn't move, and guess
he was some stiff from his sprint the day before,
but by the time he'd got out where the birds was
sngin', and the trees and grass looked like they'd
been done durin' the night, was able to
but it limbered the old boy up, and after we'd had
shower and rub he forgot all about his joints.
well, are you set on keepin' that date in the
obituary column or will we have breakfast! says l.
Il could eat cold 1obscouse,' says he.
Mother Whaey's got somethin' better'n that
in the Kitchen, says l.
Il suppose this will finish me-, says he tacklin'
the eggs and corn mullins.
Now, wouldn't that give you the pip? Why,
with their specialists and medicated dope, they'd
got the old chap SO leery of good straight grub that
got him braced up into something like condition,
he didn't think it was hardly right to go eatn.
Il expect | ought to go back and start in on that
slop diet again, says he.
couldn't stand by and see him do that, though
He was too fine an old sport to be polished off in
any such style. "See here, Commodore" says 1,
''if you're dead stuck maxim Twin skeleton of
yourself, why, throws UP me hands: But if you'll
stay here for a couple of weeks and do just as
say, III put you in trim to hit up the kind of life

by glory!" says he, IF you do that III"
"No, you WON'T" says l. This is my blow
Course it cinch He want any invalid
There was stuff enough in him to last for twenty
years, if it handled right. He begun to pick
up right away l only worked him hard enough
to make the meals seem long ways apart and the
mattress feel good. Inside of a week l had the
red back in his cheeks and he was chuckin' the
medicine ball around good and hard, and tellin' me
what scrapper he used to be when he first went
to the cadet mill, down to Annapolis. You can
always tell when these old boys feel kinky-they
begin to remember things like that. Before the
fortnight was up he wasn't shyin' at anything on
the bill of fare, and he hintin around that his
thirst comm back strong.
Cant ever have another drink" says he, as
sad kid leavin' home.

guin' with him was moren 1 could guess Any
way, it was somewhere that he was in hurry to
get to- for the old boy rushin' the outfit
the front yard for all he worth.
"Oh, stop him, stop him!" screams one of the
women, that figures out must be the daughter
Stop iml Stop 'iml" yels the other. She
looked like one of the maids.
I'm back-stop, thinks l to myself. 4" Be-
sides, this is family affair
I'd have hated to have blocked that run, too,
for it was dom me lot of good, just watchin' it,
and thnkin' of the bumps Rabbit gettin',
with his head down among the bottles.
l follows along the outside, though and in
minute SO l sees what the Commodore amin
at. Out to side cute little fish pond,
about hundred feet across, and he maxim
bee line for that. 1t down in a sort of hollow,
with nice smooth turf slopin' clear to the edge.
When the Commodore gets halfway down he
gives the cart last push, and five seconds later
Mr.. Babbitt with his head still stuck in the wagon,
souses into the water like he'd been dropped from
a balloon. The old boy stays just long enough to
see the splash and then he keeps right on goin'
At that 1 jumps the stone wall and prepares to
do quick divin', but before could fetch the
pond Babbitt comes to the top BLOWN muddy
water out of his mouth and threshin' his
around windmill fashion Then his feet touches
bottom and he finds he amt in any danger of bein
drowned. The wagon comes up, too and the first
thing he does is to grab that. By the time | gets
there he was wadin ashore, and the women had made
up their minds there want any fainting.
Rabbit" says the Commodore daughter, eek
