A LITTLE NONSENSE.
An ArGrsr THEME.

We sing IN the winter
OF beautiful snow,
For that's what the printer
Expects. as We know.
But fancy goes winging
In summer afar.
And that's when we're singing
OF beautiful tar
Yes: that's when we're chanting
OF streets over which
The horses toll painting
Through simmering pitch
The snow has gone sinking
Away below par,
For now we are thinking
OF beautiful tar.

Mr.. Blaine'S Request.

Years ago, just two weeks after
Grover Cleveland had been in augurated
president for the first time, James G..
Blaine, his defeated opponent. went to
the White House and into the Cleveland
presence. 1t became known afterward
that Mr.. Blaine told Mr.. Cleveland that
he came to ask favor, only one favor
Of the admin istratiop. Then the de-
feated one told the president that be
hoped sincerely that u certain man in
Maine, a democrat, would not be given
the oifce that it was known he craveG I.
Mr.. Blaine told MIR. Cleveland that
the campaign Of the summer and fall
previous mad been campaign Of per-
eonal abuse Of mud-slinRing in which
neither party chief had part and which
both disconntepanced. The Maine man
whom Mr.. Blaine wished to have denied
the office that he sought was the man
who i'll part was responsible for certain
stories concerning the early personal
life Of Blaine, which, even had they
been true, never should have seen PRINT.
MIR. Cleveland's answer to Mr.. Blaine
on that occasion was never known in
it's exact form, but this much was
known, the Maine mud singer asked
Tor his Office only to have his request
met With pointblank Misunderstanding

Toy Balloon Travelled Far.

How's this! A tiny balloon of Grim
son rubber sent up by a child from
the Tuileries garden October 20, at
the children's fete at which 1000 Of
these balloons were sent up, has beat
Ell the worlds record for speed and
distance. 1t went 1,211 miles in 1917
hours, and was caught at Underman-
laani, in the parish of Jetti, Finland,
shortly before noon October 81. What
pity somebody wasn't aboard this
tiny record-breaker! Only the name
and address of the child who liberated
it in Paris, with a card asking the
finder TO send 1t back, made this ex-
traordinary voyage. But it Is q straw
showing what we are all coming to
