The elder Harrigan is of the famous

Quired fame and fortune through having
written around types peculiar to New
York back in the old squatter days where
certain types peculiar to that period
would lay off a claim on a lot or high
rock, and claim it as their own without
the formality of paying rent. These con-
ditions served as an inspiration for Mr.
Harrigan to write ''Squatter Sovereign
ty." which was produced at the Theater
Comique in 1881.
Following this, he wrote and produced
his famous Mulligan Guard series. among
which can be mentioned THE Mulligan

sification. speciality people were mustered
into service The elder Harrigan has been
known to put a song and dance on with
thirty men. all of whom were highly rated
in the old variety days as single enter
tainers.
1t is seldom that the son of a famous
man distinguishes himself, either along
the lines that brought fame to the father
or some other vocation selected by the
son; but William Harrigan has shattered
this tradition by holding up the theatrical
dignity of the family, showing some OF
the capabilities that brought fame to his
father. and, at the same time showing
conclusively that he is to be reckoned as
one of our best later-day comedians
Young Harrigan is also the poet laureate
of The Bought and Paid For" company.

TOMMY AND THE SQUIRREL

Look, look, mama" said Tommy,
'see the little squirrel"

the yard eating nut which
he held between his paws. He look

tie boys voice and when he saw
they We're looking at him he scold-

little boy clapped his hands and
llaughed with glee.
At this Chippy scolded all the
louder and dropping the nut he ran
up and down the limb scolding all
the time as If he were saying, 81

Tommy ran out nuder the tree
to get a closer view at which the
squirrel scolded harder than ever.

tinued to come nearer he stopped
and ran in a panic to the end of tn
limb and leaping to the limb of am
other tree scampered up 1t and dis
appeared in a hole in the tree.
Tommy looked and looked but
could not find him and finally went
back to mother where they watch

Tommy's mama gave him hand
full of nuts to scatter under the
tree, then they waited.

until he had them all and hidden
them in the hole in the tree.
Every day after that Tommy went
out and watched the squirrel and
they became great friends. Chippy
watches for the nuts which Tommy
does not fail to bring him and will
almost take them from his hand.
The little boy scatters the nuts ON
the ground and seats himself near
while Chippy carries them away.
