THE LONELY TEDDrE BEAR.

The feddie Bear, in his jungle lair
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
Waited alone, with no one to care,
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
The Teddie Bear made bearish noise
He wanted some friendly girls and

Teddie, the best of Christmas toys
Blue! Blue! Blue!
No wonder the Teddie Bear was
blue
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
Big Brother and Sister had gone
away
To the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo.
And Teddie was left on Brothers bed,
With an aching heart and a pain in
his head,
And Teddie paws that were just like
lead
IT'S True, True, Truei
This little verse is written, my dears,
To You, You, You!
Can't you comfort the Teddie Bear
So Blue, Blue, Blue?
Pack up the Teddie's grip, my dears
Send him away on trip, my years
Help to dry up the grizzly tears
Do, Do, Do!
Ever so many friendly girls
And Boys, Boys, Boys!
Are longing and longing, with all
their hearts,
For Toys, Toys, Toys!
Give him little fun, my dears,
Friendship is good for Teddie Bears
They get so lonely in jungle lairs-
Boys, Boys, Boys!

KIDNAPPED PIC Recovered
But, Alas! Representative "Bin' Ad-
ans Has Shipped It Home and De-
prived His Colleagues of Feast

The Honorable Billn Adams pig
roast has been called off.
Various and sundry members of the
House of Representatives, together
with officers of that body, have had in
mind visions of roast pig as the piece
de resistance at feast where they
would be participants-said pig being
the one that the Honorable Bill got
at local theatre one night last week,
and which ne proposed to present to
Speaker Ambler. The presentation fell
through because somebody spirited the
pig away.
Up TO last night the porker was se-
cluded in a cellar of an uptown man
sion in which reside certain members
of the House, who are alleged to have
laid violent hands on the pig, kidnapped
it as it were, and laid it away for
pig roast. to all of which he agreed, as
ne was to be the worthy host, but his
fellow lawmakers did not tell him
where the pig was in hiding. Last
night, however, the 'IHonorable Bill
learned of its whereabouts and he took
steps at once to replevin the animal.
In this he was successful. The animal
was taken to the Capitol and handed
over to the true and rightful owner.
Once more last night the pig occu-
pied its palatial pig sty in the $13,-
100000 Capitol. but it will never do so
again. To-day the Honorable Bill |"
had it boxed up and shipped to his
home in Hazleton, and it is expected
that by the close of the session the pig
will have attained proportions that will
Justify the Honorable Bill' in giving
a pig roast at his home the like of
which the coal regions has never yet
seen.

12.46O Heads of Cab
bage Grew in 1914
Where Only 4.7OO
Grew in Year Before
CARE OF INMATES
is LESS COSTLY
Average Daily Expense Per Capita Is
Reduced From 43 to 30 Cents
County's Hens Are Less Active in
Laying Eggs

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Directors of the Poor expended more
than 1000 in 1914 in excess of what
they spent in the previous year for the
maintenance of the INDECENT of Dau'
phin county, the annual statement is
sued to-day by the directors shows that
the amount of farm products obtained
on the poor farm in 1914 far exceeded
that of 1918; the daily average num-
ber of inmates of the almshouse was
materially larger than in the year be-
fore, and the cost per capita of in
mates at the county home was much
reduced.
The Directors had available and
spent last year exactly S67, ,o36.41, of
which $S,912.SS represents the cost
of new buildings and improvements;
hospital equipment, s605.19, and quar-
antine relief, s1,56T.1S. The total
spent in 1918 was S6S,605.S9.
The biggest item of the almshouse
maintenance cost was the purchase of
provisions and supplies. The returns
from the almshouse farm far exceeded
those of the previous year, so that the
grocery bills were reduced, Just
S5,492.4S being spent in 1914 as COM
pared with S9,S0S.65 in 1919.
Wages of employees were Increased
by almost $1,000, although that was
offset by decreases in the cost of fuel
and light, clothing, furniture, bedding,
shoes and ordinary repairs.
Some Figures Compared
The number of days support was
given to the inmates of the almshouse,
the report shows, was 1928, as
against 1886, in 1918, the weekly
cost per capita last year being $40
as against sS.O1 during .the previous
twelve months. The number of tramps
fed at the county home during the year
was only slightly smaller than in the
year before, there being 2,0SS in 1914
and 2,125 in 1918. However the last
year figures represent meals furnish
ed to vagrants who during the last
three months of the year were SEN
fenced TO the stone pile by Mayor
Royal.
The average number of meals given
10 "stone pile inmates was eight per
day. for three months, indicating that
of the 2,0SS meals furnished to tramps
120 were given to the Stone-crackers.
There was an average of 209 inmates
at, the home during 1914, as against
201 in the previous year, but the cost
of their maintenance was proportion
atelv less, the daily per capita last
year being SO cents as against As
cents the year before. Some idea of
what was raised on the poorhouse farm
in 1914, compared with the year before
can be gained from the report of Stew
ard s. I. Barber, which follows:
