Hornesiick

I am sitting in my palace,
which is strictly up-to-date; and
my Aunt Jemima Alice says l
am a lucky skate; my existence
should be sunny, should be sweet
as shredded honey, for.I have a
stack Of money, and a fgtree by
the gate. I am sitting in my
palace as the evening shades
draw near, drinking from a jew
eled chalice many quarts Of kick
less beer; ;.luxuries are all around
me, and no creditors confound
me, and no sorrows ought to
hound me, yet I spring the scald
ing tear. For my heart is sicl
with longing for the scenes my
childhood knew; for the woods
where birds were thronging, and
the pastures wet with dew; al
the day I'm longing, wishing, for
the creek where l went fishing,
and old Dobbin, tail a-swishing,
and the COW that murmured
''Moo!" Oh, my present lot is
splendid, but I'm thinking, with
a sigh, of the school that l at
tended in the happy days gone
by; and / hear the buzz and
clamor when the teacher used to
hammer all the rudiments Of
grammar into boys, and made
them cry, So I weary OF my
palace though it is a sight to
see, and I'd like to break a gallus
climbing up an apple tree; for
this stale life never varies; and
I'd like to swipe somescherries,
and some melons and some ber-
ries, and rob a humble bee.

DR.. WILEY RECOMMENDS
new PLAYGROUND SITE
Believes Land North of Woodward
Apartment House Should Be
Obtained by City.

Purchase of a plot of ground just
north of the Woodward apartment
house on Connecticut avenue for a
permanent playground is advocated by
DR.. Harvey W. Wiley in letter to the
Board of Trade.
The trade body has forwarded the
letter to Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, su-
'pervisor of Fairgrounds, for con-
'sideration. His letter was, in part, as
follows:
II desire. to call your attention to
what consider rare opportunity of
acquiring a playground at perhaps a
minimum of expense. In the original
mac Park and Rock Creek Park all
land west of Ashmead place was in
cluded, and subsequently,, probably
from a false motive of economy, one
section of the property west Of Ash
mead place was withdrawn from the
parkway. and Is now capable of being
used for the location of dwellings.
These dwellings would have the rear
OF the properties facing the beautiful
Connecticut Avenue bridge, thus
moderating the beauty of that struc-
ture. i.
Part of this has already been built
upon since 1t has been withdrawn
from the parkway. There is. however,
a section extending from the Wood
ward apartment house north to the
first dwellings which is still vacant
This area, comprises. in round num-
bers, 10000 feet. 1t would be an ideal
location for Fairgrounds for that sec
ton of the city. Its market price is
far less than in many other parts OF
the city where less desirable play
grounds may be obtained"
