ADVENTURE. OF
THE TWINS


Missez Sprat crossed the street
from her house to the Twins house,
putting like anything from hurrying
so fast, SO she could be the first to
tell the gossip to her new neighbors.
To be sure she was so fat it didn't
take much to make her puff, but
anyway she had hurried extra fast,
and as she climbed up on the front
porch Of the cardboard Christmas
tree house, she sounded like pop
corn rooster or an electric washer or
something liksl that. - ~
Mercy alive!" cried Nancy, when
the flimsy house gave great shake
as Missez Sprat's weight descended
on it. "We're going to fall down,
Nick. An automobile must have
bumped into U.s."
But at that minute the door-bell
rang, and as the house didn't fall
in, the Twins knew they had Wis.,
itor.
Nancy hung her cooking apron up
on q hook, and Nick pulled his tie
straight, and answered the door.
And there stood fat .Missez Sprat
with her card-case in her hand.

things besides.
But Missez Sprat wasn't alarmed
She kept on beaming and smiling

| Nancy was just about to reply, but
horror Of horrors! At that very min.
ute, Missez Sprat stopped talking and
decided to sit down (not that she
hadn't been pressed to do 80 before)
and didn't she decide on the rickety
red plush sofa without any hint

the stove.
Before anybody could stop her

A DREAM
BY "CHARTON."

Last night, 7 dreamed, and dreaming,
Dreamed that our city fair.
Had become a City Beautiful
With minarets in the air.
The old city hall palace.
Set within a moss-grown wall,
In a grove of elms and lichens.
Graceful and straight and tall.
And 'Bloodheld's" a garden
OF radiance and rare perfume.
With shaded walks meath clusters
OF roses that in profusion bloom.
The Market street bridge, a structure
OF marble with its pylons flung
high.
Ger span Of splendid dimension,
Cleaning whitley 'gainst the sky.
And the Brandywine gently flowing,
A softly compelling allure,
Dyed only with the colors of nature,
It's waters pelucid and pure.
Alasi that dreams are only dreamsl
And that fancy cannot give.
A lasting beauty to those mystic
forms
which scarce but a moment live.

ism is the sycophant lying in wait for
his supposedly misguided prey. He
reads the Bible and thinks seriously
upon the havoc wrought by gunpow-

knows that physical destruction is
bordering upon the edges of hell and
He calls the would-be promoters of
