SURPRISING BROTHER.
By MAY BELL.

Brother tsld me yesterday
That I was too small to play;
Couldn't reach the lowest shelf;
Couldn't even dress myself.
Now I'm up before it's light;
Brothers eyes are closed up tight.
I'll dress all alone today,
Then, think, he'll let me play.
I'm 20 sleepy. truly true
'Tis hard work to lare a shoe,
And my waist Is wrong side cut.
Don't know how that came about.
Everything Is dreadful still.
I'll 70 back to bed, 1 Will,
Shoes and stockings, dress and all.

Don't Telegraph.

The following communication from
Receiver c. Frost Liggett OF the
United States land office at Lamar
is self-explanatory:
This Office has been receiving nu-
merous inquiries by telegraph and
telephone as to the status Of certain
lands in the various parts of the dis
trlct. Many OF thesc replies have not
been taken out and paid for by the
persons making the requests, and the
companies transmitting the informa-
tlon have come back on this office
for the charges. No funds are pro
ylded by the government to meet
this expense and the information in
this way Is not a part OF the duties
OF the local officers but the informa-
ton is given as an accommodation
to the parties seeking such informa-
ton.
In the future 10 attention will be
paid to such messages unless the cx-
pensc of reply is deposited or guar
antced by the sender and the informa-
tion included in the message.
