So they hitched old Rover up to their sled
To haul it back to the old woodshed
Then Bobby raised his whip with crack
And brought it down across Rover's back.
But Rover, singing beneath the blow,
Stood perfectly still, refusing to go.
I'll make him go!' young Bobby cried,

And again the rod raised on high.
But of a sudden he heard Papa cry;
stop, stop, my son! Do you not know
How to get old Rover to haul the snow?

Then you'll see how well he will draw the sled
This Bobby did. and away they sped
With the sled of Papa said.

SAYS THIEF NOT ONLY STOLE
WHALE, BUT BUILDING ALSO
Boston Manager Has Hard Luck Story
Of Man Who Ran Show Without
Authority from Owner -

BOSTON, March s.-"He not only
stole the whale"
The agitated voice of A. E. Benni-
son, trilling over the wires, shook
with suppressed emotion.
HE not only stole the whale. He
stole the building 1t is in, the tickets
of admission and the managerial smile
with which am accustomed to greet
the paying guest who comes to view
the dead, dead denizen of the mighty
deep. embalmed in his last long Sleep"
Mr.. Bennison's voice broke.
HE stole the whole outfit. and Sum-
day morning, while the righteous
wendell their way churchward in the
sanctimonious Quiet, he exhibited my
beloved whale at 10 cents per visitor.
Then he stole off into the calm that
wraps Atlantic avenue with $25, that
he had made exhibiting my whale, in
his jeans"
At this point Mr.. Bennison broke
down utterly and the man who was
taking the story over the phone might
have been observed to wipe away a
tear. or something.
The sad tale told by Mr.. Bennison
concerns the further adventures in
Boston land of that self-same whale
which the Traveller last Saturday ex-
hibited to nearly ten thousand children
armed with tickets clipped from Its
paper.
After that hilarious Saturday the
poor old whale should have been al
lowed a peaceful Sunday on its hard
plank bed. And it would have got

morning. who broke open the door of

out license, or so much as the per-
mission of the owner of the headliner
on the bill.
"Step up, ladies and gents, step up"
he called out to the Atlantic avenue
populace, "step up and view this dia-
phaneous denizen of the dark deep, tho
only one of its kind in captivity; this
man-eating, marvellous mastodon OF
the waters-and a dime--ten cents-the
tenth part of dollar-admits one and
all. Step up, ladies and gents-step

Once the man who keeps a shop over
the show room came down and In
quired the whereabouts of Mr. Ben
niSon.
Jaw, he's gone to lunch" responded
the petty larceny Snowman.
When the crowd had thinned and the
self-appointed Snowman had gathered
a goodly portion of shekels, he pre-
pared to depart. Once again the man
overhead came down and inquired for
the reasons of departure
Jaw. I. gotter have lunch, too" said
the vanishing one, whose mind seemed
to run to lunch. And he did dis
appearing act into the dim distance.
When Mr.. Bennison, rightful owner
of the blubbery one. only authorized

one and all, "for a sight of this mod

nison came down at noon he beheld
