The mother makes an un- announced visit to the home of her son in the city. whero' he is prosperous physician. He is of course glad to see her, but she readily sees that her attire is out of keeping with his environ ments, and she secretly leaves the house, and almost immediately falls into the hands of the denizens of the lower world.

POETRY
rHE ENeLIsHl srARRow.

It makes me rather weary
 To hear good people tell Of dogs and cats and horses
 That in the city dwell, And how they have to suffer
 For lack of food and care. With sometimes cruel treatment
 That they can scarcely bear. Of course these same good people
 Have tender hearts. and they No doubt should be assisted
 Upon their kindly way, And yet while they are caring
 So very tenderly For dogs and cats and horses
 Nobody cares for me. And I am so much smaller
 Than any dog or cat Or horse 1t seems they oughtn't
 To treat me quite like that. But don't ask attention.
 And can tell you what. Those dogs and cats and horses
 Should have the spunk I've got You never hear.me crying
 For shelter, food or care. But get out and hustle
 To find them anywhere I'm always fat and sagxy.
 And if I do not get My share of things a plenty,
 T fight for H. you bet That's me. the English sparrow I'm something of a. nuisance
 I'm never on the blink. That's why when I consider
 That I am not admired Like dogs and cats and horses
 It makes me almost tired See2 w. J. Hampton, in the New York Sun.

The thirty eight annual clambake of the Westerly Fat Mems association was held Thursday at the Barnes grove, Brightman's pond and there was large attendance of members and guests from all sections of Rhode Is- land and Eastern Connecticut. In order to be eligible to participate in the festivities. including the feast, it was essential that every man should weight in at least 210 pounds, and the scales were so adjusted that each person present tipped the scales at that figure before the clambake and, according to the scales. there was an increase in weight of forty pounds after dinner. The event was thor oughly enjoyable and committee was appointed to prepare for the thirty ninth annual outing. It is more than passing strange that during the past thirty eight years the annual outings of the Westerly Fat Mems association have never been marred by rain storm, but have always been favored with sunshine and ideal picnic wealth CT.
