The Proud Mother

Come hither little Mary Ann," :" the doting mother said, 'I have about three quarts of jute to put upon your head I see the neigh bor's daughters go to school fixed up so fine, and I won't have it said, my dear, that you are not in line; so let me kalsimine your face with pigments rich and rare and put some red paint on your lips, and cook and curl your hair and put you in a narrow skirt that shows your every curve, so you will get from rubbernecks the notice you de- serve. And you must wear your snowy shoes that advertise your feet, also the crazy hat that scares the horses on the street, for won't have the neighbors say that my dear little maid is not as good or as stylishly arrayed. Of course you don't look like child with all your paint and curls, but you're uphol- stered just as well as any, other girls; of course, you can not run or play, as children used to do, but we must show the neighbor's girls they have no edge on you; of course, you're like g monkey, dear, of course it is shame; but since the neighbors turn out apes I must do same. Walt Mason.

DR. LYMAN ABBOTT asserts that man does not die. Still, as long as the coroner insists on laying them out on a slab there will continue to be men who think they're dead. It's whole lot better to assert that you're dead when you're not than to insist on running for office when everybody knows you're dead one.
