Tale of a Tea Table.
Betsy Bobbity baked bun
A beautiful, big, bewitcniRg one,
So light that it larry shone with pride.
With cuIrants a-plenty SAFE INSIDE.
Patsy Poppity peeled peach,
a pear ana pun ana put them each
In a tiny pie with u frosted top,
As me as Inose in the bakers snop.
Three little maids to the pantry flew
40 look FOR the dishes PINK ana blue,
And a terrible tragedy happened next
And my. but the three niue maids were
veXed
Young Puppety Pup came racing by.
And the hItle red table caught MS eye;
Then never u BIT no cared-not he
That he hadn't been asked to the dainty
tea:
But ne ate up Betsy Bobbitys bun,
With all OF the eurFants-every one,
The three little pies at single bite,
And everything else there was in sight!
Dora Deputy cried, Dear mel
What a capital time 10 give teal!
And she put the little red table out,
With three little chairs set round about
And Betsy Bobbitys Baby Blue,
And Patsy Popplty's Precious Prue,
And Dora DOpplty Daisy Dee
" ere asked to come TO a charming tea.
But never a word the three guests said.
AS they gazed with smile right straight
And never they showed the least surprise,
Although, right under their very eyes,
The rude and ravenous Puppety r.
Ate all that they were TO have had for
Which shows us plainly that Baby Blue,
And Daisy Dee, and the Precious Prue
Were we'll brought up and clearly knew
That the proper, ladylike thing 10 DO

should be and doubtless are profoundly
grateful that the fight waged several years
ago against the overhead trolley was COM
pletely successful. Today as a result of that
fight, which involved some temporary in

virtually free from entanglements Of wires
charged with high electric currents. There
is not another city in the United States so
immune from this Disagreement and dan
ger. When fires occur the f1remen are free
to work unhampered by wires. When low
potency wires, such as telegraph and teIe-
phone conductors, chance to fall during
stress Of weather they are not crossed with
killing currents.
In other cities where the people have been

cost of the cheap and nasty overheard
system conditions today are very bad in
deed. Here and there the dangers have been
realized and efforts are being made to abate
the evil by changing the system, but the
people have found the trolley too strong to
dislodge. Meanwhile horses and people are

the unfortunate plight of the board of edu-

first to get 1t, and IL some one Of the high
officials wanted to take the public into his

life In Washington and formed the ac-
