A Cheerful Pair

They went to walk one day, just Jack
and Patience.
Way down the street and past the
candy store,
They turned corner. maybe two, the
darlings
And Patience she was three, while
Jack was four.
Nurse Jane was home. and dogs they
passed a plenty,
They saw some frightening things,
as children can,
Yet smiled serene, and, oh, know the
reason,
He wore a soldier cap, she had a fan.
His shoe strings came united, and
almost tripped him,
And from her curls there slipped a
bow OF blue.

flying,
II blew her petticoats, and ruffles, too;
The rain drops fell so quickly. pitter
patter,
And anxious Jane straight to their
rescue ran.
But still they smiled-what mattered
shine or shadow;
He wore his soldier cap, she had her
fan.

happier than his cOmrade and frfsked
about as in the days of his youth.
Yet the day of wandering was slow
in passing and toward night the air
grew chilly with coming rain So the
travellers were glad indeed when thev
strayed up against a yard and barn
much like their own.
Soon the gate was opened and a man
kindly invited them In. for In spite OF
their untidy appearance he knew thar
they were valuable animals and wOuld
be speedily searched Tor.
And the very next morning their
hearts thrilled with Joy to hear we'll
known voices outside the barn fnouir-
ing for them A beating was. OF course
richly deserved. but the young masters
were so glad to get them back un-
harmed that they only scolded a little
and made them trot swiftly home.
And never were carts drawn mora
willingly than after that runaway.

You ought to creep into the sand for
shame! To sit with Juhasz and gossip

Janos jumped to his feet as though
she were a serpent, and cried at the
woman:
IF you dare to touch the girl with
your whip I will have you torn to
pieces BY my wolf hounds"
But mind you, half of your sheep
have gone astray," Uttered the old
woman and dragged IIluska home with
her.
And truly Janos found only the
smaller part Fof the flock; all the rest
had run away while he was looking
into the girls beautiful eyes. Down
hearted, he drove the remainder of the
sheep to the village. and was ready for
the reproaches of his stepfather, who
had already been informed by Illuska' s
stepmother of what had happened, and
who was waiting for him at the stable

away the flowers and took instead the

never knew. It took a long time until
he became calm again, but the healthy,
well shaped Juhasz with the handsome
brown face found comforter, the
beautiful blond Illuska, a poor orphan,
who had suffered at the hands of
cruel stepmother. Fate brought these
two equally fortuned souls together.
They told each other their little pleas
ures and their great troubles, and the
end was a great love.
One day Illuska came to see Janos
on the Puszta- She brought him
present. a bunch of feather grass that
resembled the tail of the paradise bird
and by the Hungarians worn as an or
nament upon the hat.
When they were sitting on the mound

One hot forenoon both animals had
trotted several miles over the dusty
roads and came home tired and thirsty
and mad.
But something was about to happen.
The boys. in great haste for their own
dinner, failed to slip in place the iron
hoop that fastened the gate to it's post.
Donkey Bray was the first to discover

seven countries and seven villages.

hussars. and for the first time since
his separation from Illuska his heart
leaped with joy. They were on their
way to France to rescue her from the
hands of the Turks. OF course, sober
history knows nothing of this.
All, but Janos was a true Hungarian
with a heart always ready to fight
against the old enemy and oppressor,
the Turk, and soon he was sitting on

Then they went still deeper into the
woods and roamed about and were
very happy in their freedom There
was an abundance of sweet, juicy grass

thinking of a circus which he had once

cages. The sight of them had filled him
with trembling fear, and he now re-

A Song of Babies

Sing a song of babies
Playing on the beach,
Every one as pink and round
And pretty as a peach.
Some have hair that's golden,
Some have curls of brown,
Some are running on the sand,
Some are sitting down.
Some are padding in the waves,
Laughing with delight,
Some are in the breakers with
The clothes they wear at night
Some are over seven.
Some are only three,
But they all are happy
Happy as can be.

the biggest comedy hit in vaudeville:
