ACTIVE ASBANK CLERK

have not settled heavily upon the
shoulders OF William II. Weeks, note

than 65 years old. He believes in culti-
waiting a cheerful disposition and work
ing hard every day. lie is regular in
his habits and has been during his en-
tire life. To this he attributes his
present health, he having gone through
last winter unscathed when many
persons so years his junior were at
their last gasp" from colds and other
ailments.
Mr.. Weeks steps about his daily
duties IN a brisk, alert manner, and is
as fond OF the humorous side OF life
as any youth under his majority. His
eyes are bright and apparently life has
not lost anything OF its roseate hue.
The octogenarlan lives at the home OF
Mrs. Brendle, at No. 500 West street.

living in New York, at the age OF 81

WHEN BABY GOES TO CHURCH

prom the Springfield Reporter,
They lead him in some Sunday morn
In suit of white all spick and span.
And high upon a pew seat perch
A some what wondering little man.
His curls are brushed to silken sheen.
His eyes are mischievous and bright
And like two rosy apples are
The cheeks you'd dearly love to bite.
His wandering stare encounters smiles
AS round he looks from north to south
Or east to west until, abashed.
He sticks a finger in his mouth.
Recovering his sang -froid,
He pulls the hymn books from the rack
There's not a picture in the lot
And so he jams them roughly back.
He whirls palmleaf fan about
The congregation all TO cool,
And in a solemn husk kicks out
And overturns kneeling stool.
He thinks the show is awful SLOW,
You learn from loud stase-whisper hint
And dear old lady just in front
Hands over pinkish peppermint.
Upon an anthem choir emharks
And high soprano notes are ringing.
When in a pause the whole church hears
Distinctly. He don't like the singing"
With sheepish grins the choir subsidies.
There's sudden smothered zlgsiing
sound.
And cen the pastor drops his head
And rather quickly backs around.
The mother, blushing fiery red.
Commands that he must quiet keep
THE minister is going to preach
And how she prays the scamp VII
sleep,
But no: he eyes the rulpit-Inan
With disapproval growing strong,
And finally declares aloud
He thinks that Bible much too Long
From covert winks the rest exchange
The pastor very swiftly fnds
The others have the same idea.
And to an end his sermon winds.
Then as by stern maternal hand
The little rogue is dragged from lev.
Those left behind sincerely hope
Not too severe a spanking's due.
