TED.

TED.
! have a little brindle dog,
S~eal-brown from tail to head.
His name / guess is Theodore,
But I just call him Ted.
He's only eight months old today
I guess he's just a pup;
Pa says he won't be larger
When he is all grown up.
He plays around about the house,
AS good as he can be.
He don't seem like a little dog,
He's just like folks to me.
And when 1t is my bedtime,
Ma opens up the bed;
Then I nestle down real cozy
And just make room for Ted.
And oh, how nice we cuddle!
He doesn't fuss or bite, .
Just nestles closely up to me
And lies there still all night.
We love each other dearly,
My little Ted and me.
We're just good chums together,
And always hope to be.

The recreation pier" idea has struck
Chicago at last, and it is finding marked
favor there. The lake on which Chicago
fronts is big thing in its fresh water
way, sometimes looking quite oceanic; and
the evening breeze from that lake in sum
mer is one of the city's best assets.
The increased cost of living in India
generally and in Calcutta particularly is
severely felt, not only by Europeans, but
also by Indians according to a CORE
spondent of the London Daily Mail
House rent in recent years has trebled,
and even quadrupled. Ten years ago
family of half dozen persons could live
in fair comfort for $1,000 year, excluding
extras. With nothing less than $500 can
they live in the same way now. This is
recognized by the government. and the
salaries Of subordinate officials have been
revised. Domestic servants wages have
increased enormously. A good cook can
not be had for less than 500 a year,
where as half that sum was sufficient
decade ago.
