THE SAND MANS BEEN AROUND.

THE SAND MANS bhEN AhOONDs
Resting among the downy quilts
In the land of Nod and Dream,
Flushed quilts that never wilt,
AS air castles and the screens.
That float before my darlings eyes,
In life's sweetest golden glow
Eye lids moistened with the dew,
AS from the fount of youth it flows.
Rest on, dear one may angels creep
Around thy tiny cot;
And guard thee in thy sleep,
That peaceful slumber ill be thy lot.
In the fairy dell know thou are
Among the roses strewn on the ground;
Thy face like unto twinkling star
Cause the Sand Mans been around.
Rest on, LIES silver strand.
Still binds thy heart to me
Thou art as diamonds of the land.
And pearls from the restless sea,
Where with thee in thy childish dream,
Could but see through the misty air,
I'd play peek.a-boo in the Heavenly CLEAN.
And pose you in fairylands high chair,
May be YOU do see me in a radia Mt light.
Bedecked in gorgeous raiment unfurled.
With your locks on my breast we take flight
Through realms OF bliss in the fairy world
May be you're crushed in my tapering arms,
And your chubby hands on my neck tightly
wound;
Your mamma protecting you from all harm,
Cause the Sand Mans been around.
Accidents will happen even among the best OF
china.

Could the bank cashier take the money,

Come into my office, said Dr.. Spider to the fly,

THE STORY OF
MELBA'S SONS LIFE
George ArNstrenS Longs No Moro
For His Kln mAth County
Cabin,

! A Chicago dispatch says: "Georg
Armstrong. son Of Nine. Melba, who's
recent marriage to the heiress, Rutl
Otway, in London was attended b,
Dukes. Marquises and Barons wa
until three years ago lonely shep
herd on his fathers ranch nea,
klamath Falls, Or. He was living il
q rude cabin with his father and wa,
tolerably we'll satisfied with his lot in
life. He had not seen his mother
since she deserted when he was a
little child in Australia but had been
cared for and educated through child.
hood and youth by his father.
"This is only part of the pathetic
story. Nine. Melba in her pro-
fessional career. has shown no dis.
position to look after her husband and
son. Three years ago after the boy
had passed his 2Sd birthday Mr.. Arm.
strong received q letter from his wife
asking him to send their son to San
Francisco, where she would meet him
ON certain date. She said that the
father had enjoyed his compan ionship
for 2S years. and now it was the
mothers turn. The father and SON
agreed that it was just and proper
that the boy should accept hls
mothers invitation. and at least
make her acquaintance. II. after
fair trial. he found he did not enjoy
the life she lived, he would return to
his fathers cabin. where, until then,
he had been perfectly content.
1.-The boy met his mother, and the
score OF years Of separation was
bridged BY burst Of maternal passion
and filial fascination which arose
Phoenix.like from the ashes, Of the
diva's life. and he again became the
child OF the incompatible songstress.
Young Armstrong writes regularly
to his father, but has lost forever all
interest in the life offered BY the
klamath Falls ranch.''
