"Say, Mr.. mterlocutor, did you ever

symphony orchestra at the ousra

tertainment was concededly superior
to anything of the kind heard in Ben.

the crooked countenance would have
pronounced the company good or.

Doodle. And he would have been
qualified TO pass judgment because he
knows Yankee Doodle. He might
have made a similar comment follow

symphony but the latter verdict would
have carried less weight.

A THRIFTY PAIR.

Ben Franklin was thrifty man,
To this youll all agree;
Instead Of sQuanderng what he got
He used frugallty,
His wealth increased from year to
Year.
He won fame and position.
But not alone did he succeed
In galning his ambition.
To smooth the way to help along
There stood his saving wife,
and twas this partnership of thrift
Gave them happy life,
