A poet with precious scrap-book

the idea struck him that he would
like to see play that night, so enter

agent. That gentleman was out, but
the manager was in. He was ushered
in, and the deus ex machina inquired
his business. II would like two seats

"Ans who might you be?" asked the
manager. The poet mentioned his
name. "Um, yes" smiled the other,

PUT A kINK IN HIS PLANS
Awful Contingency Youth Had Not
Fereseen In His Laying Out Of
the Future.

Eleven-year-old Tommy has quite
decided opinions as to the duties Of
fathers to their little boys. The other
day he was describing to his mother
the sort Of father he intends to be
when he grows up.
I'm going to be the best father to
my boys. I'm going to play marbles
with them and baseball and every
thing they want me to and I'll give
them dimes most every day and tell
them they can buy all the Ice cream
they want, and I'll get them each a
pony, and well, my boys'll have lots
of fun"
Tommy's mother with twinkle in
her eye said: But, Tommy, what IL
you shouldn't have any little boys,
what If your children are all girls!"
Such possibility never entered
Tommy's head. The suggestion was
appalling. A look OF blank dismay
passed over the child's face.
Gee! that would be- the dickensl"
he calculated.

eliminating Mr.. and Mrs.


A correspondent Of the London
Daily Citizen suggests that the un'
necessary and unpleasing prefix "Mr."
should be eliminated from the super
scription of letters. The deprivation
of this prefix was one Of the penalties
enforced in our American colonies
during the seventeenth century. The
records Of Massachusetts, show that
in 1880 Josias Plaistowe was con
demhed for stealing four baskets Of
corn from the Indians, to return them
eight baskets again, to be fined e5
and hereafter to be called Josias, not
Mr., as he used to be-" The Massa'
chusetts penal code also provided for
decking women of the prefix of Mrs.
but there Is no record Of this clause
having been enforced.

scratch 1t, 1t was always 80 sensitive

clothes touch 1t. The skin was very
red. l made what l called a cap out
