RoLLo AND ELSIE


Column and also have got into the habit of reading the Dramatic eapers every week, it would seem that Rollo and Elsie have lost good deal of their original Drag.
 However, they should not be counted cut. It is no doubt true that the pres ent epidemic of MorarIty in Financial circles Is due to the Fact that most or the weil-sEown Business Men of ro- Day weie brough. up on tne Ro,lo 3ooke
 Many years ago they read in the little paper-covered Volumes obtained from the Circulating Library that ev- cry Person who is Good will be Sue cessful and sooner or later handle a lot of Money. So they worked on the Theory that if man could get Bundle it would prove that he had been Good, because any one who is not Pretty Good these days will end up by working for a Trust at so much month.
 So come, Fond Parents-gather the Olive Branches in a circle around the Steam Radiator and read to them re- garding the only Boy who was on to his job and the only Girl who didn't talk back to her Elders.
 Rollo lived Stainless Life, so that he could grow up and have Burnsides and be the head of large Mercantile Concern. In every Juvenile Story ap- proved by the Pastor 1t is pointed out to the tender Youth that they must be pure and upright, and likewise they must get the Stuff It Is not on Record that any Boy with Department aver age of 100 ever grew up to be merely Poor and Respectable.
 No, each one is finally as Rich as all get-out, with girth measure of about hfty-two, and he carries gold headed Cane and steps up on a Platform at the slightest provocation to address the Young People and advise them to save their money and get an Educa- tion and grow mp to be Members of the School Board.
 The Rollo and Elsie books should be put back into every Home. They would give the fly Kids of today many a hearty Laugh and they would not get them worked up so that they would moan in their sleep and dream about the Indians.
 And Rollo! Wouldn't he make ter rife hit with the Gang that gets to- gether out in the Alley every Satur- day afternoon?
 Rollo had no faults. The only reason that the Angels didn't take him at the first call was that they knew that hey couldn' keep up with the Pace that he had set.
 Rollos chief Virtue was that he was Tight Wad. It is quite pleasant to associate with some one who knows how to unbuckle. but in our Fiction we always admire the farseeing Youngs- ter who hurries home with his Nickel and puts 1t into the Tin Bank
 He is preparing Nest Egg for his

1 Rollo. who always had Clean Collar and spoke gently to the Servants.
 Rollo undoubtedly went to College 1 and he must have been beloved by all | his Classmates, for he had an over developed Conscience and a Moral Ma ture of such gigantic proportions that he got stoop-shouldered carrying 1t around
 He never joined in any of the Wild Franks of the Rowdy Element, and, of course, to be consistent, he had to assist the Faculty in maintaing Dlscip- line. The Conscience kept throbbing like a last years Automobile and it would not permit him to shield any Wrong Doers. So the regular pipe smoking Comanches thought he was as nice a Fellow as ever poisoned a well.
 Rolo went into Business and he was so Good that he never tried to put through a Pooling Agreement or grab off the secret Rebate from Transpor- tation Line, until his Lawyer had as- sured him that there was no danger of being Pinched.
 In order to protect the Young Men from the Country who were on his Payroll he laid out the Hours for them so that when they quit Work they had just enough time to go home and get some Sleep. Thus he kept them out of Pool Rooms and Variety Theatres. By repressing all of his natiral h. stincts and putting into other peoples Affairs to stamp out Wickedness and disinfect Society, Rollo at last reached the Goal of every Little Boy who starts out by rolling a Hoop and saying "Yes, maam" to the Lady Principal. That | is. he got so many Scads that even the Assessor could not keep track of what | he had put away.
 And Elsie. she was ever so Success ful, likewise.
 Elsie in her Pinafore Days was so keyed-up her ideas of Right and Wrong that whenever she became excited and angry and exclaimed "Oh, jimpson weedl" she would afterwards go to her Room and cry for an Hour at a time.
 At the age of thirteen she would rather sit at home and crochet Muf- flers for the Filipinos than go to a Dancing School and learn the Boston Dip.
 Elsie never chewed gum or put a Rat under her Hair Just give her a
 Wax Doll and volume of Emerson's Essays and she would be as Happily as Lark.
 We have learned from a careful
 study of Juvenile Fiction that such a
 Sweet Child always blossoms into Per
 feet Womanhood and rides in swell
 open Carriage, smiling pleasantly al the People who have to walk.
 And. of course. she Marries Well Elsie is the only one of her kind who
 ever came through the Press and there fore she is entitled to the grandest littl, Husband that Money can buy.

robber in his old age. He busted into churches. fooled around with other mems wives, curled his hair with a poker, an smelled iv perfumery like a Saturday night car. An his wife was a suspicyous charackter, an he turned her away. Napolyon Bonypart, impror iv tn Fr-rinch, was far too gay even fir thim frivolous people, an had fits. His first wife was no betther thin she shud be, an his second wife didn't care fir him. Willum Shakespeare is well known as an author iv plays that no wan can play, but he was betther known as a two-handed dhrlnker, a bad actor, an thief. His wife was a common scold an led him tn life he desarved.
 They niver leave tn ladies out iv these stories iv tn gr-reat. A woman that marries janius has fine chance iv her false hair becomin' more i'm mortal thin his gr-reatest deed. It don't make amy diff'rence if all she knew about her marital hero was that he was 8 consistent feeder, a sleepy husband, an an indulgent father to his childher an sometimes to himself, an that she had to darn his socks. Nearly all tn great men had somethin' tn matther with their wives. I always thought Mrs. Wash'nton, who was tn wife iv tn father iv our counthry, though childless hersilf, was about right. She looks good in tn pitchers, with shawl around her neck an frilled night cap on her head. But Ho- gan says she had tongue sharper thin Georges soord, she insulted all his frinds, she was much older thin him, an she liked food that they cudden't keep amy longer in tn ice-box. AS fir George, he was case. I wish th'
