THE ARMLESS GIRL. A ROMANCE OF THE MUSEUM. GHE'S VERY Handy with her toes, which to ‘And she can write a pretty hand with her use are put, inty little foot! She has a deal of work on hand, she's busy as can be, ‘Yet still finds time with her dear foot to throw a kiss to me. Tam the human skeleton, but cheerful as the morn, Because she never jokes my bones, nor points the toe of scorn. For me she ever has a smile, encouraging my suit, And oft lends me a helping hand—I mean a friendly foot. Last week I asked her for her hand, for I had earned to win it, The charming girl gave me her foot, and said her heart was in it. I bought a pair of wedding gloves on her dear feet to go, And a bright golden finger ring I placed upon her toe. Soon hand in hand—or hand in foot—we'll start to climb life's hills, And joy will e’er be at our hands, for she will foot the bills. bd ” "THE MEERSCHAUM AND THE BABY, ME LUCIUS GOWANUS had owned a meerschaum pipe for two weeks before the new baby— and it was his first baby—came. Any person who has ever owned a meerschaum pipe knows that it requires more fostering care and thought than anything else on earth, from orchids to race-horses. Con- sequently, the baby arrived at the wrong time to secure its proper share of Mr. Gowanus's solicitude. Not that he didn’t like the baby—but then he had the pipe, and he had reached that stage of anxiety which two weeks of meerschaum coddling involves. When the baby was two days old, Mr. Gowanus was walking down street, wrapped in thought. “Thinking about your new pet, aren't you?” asked Mrs. Fodoogan, the next-door neighbor. “Yes,” answered Mr. Gowanus. “ How is it?" she asked. “It’s a peach,” he said. ‘‘It is just beginning to turn darker now, and you ought to see what a pretty color it is going to be.” “Why, I didn’t know they changed color so soon.” “Oh, they will, all right, if you use enough tobacco in them, and be sure it is the right sort.” “The right sort?” Mrs. Fodoogan. “Yes,” went on Mr. Gowanus. “When I had experimented with it for a day I concluded that it wouldn't stand very strong tobacco for a while, and so”—— “Well, I should think not! stammered “Don't you find it expensive running to a doctor so often?” asked Wellum of Sickum. “Oh, no,” replied Sickum. ‘You see, he always puts me on a diet, and I save enough on my meat and grocery bills to more than pay his.”"—Cincin- nati Commercial Tribune. “And so I got a milder kind, and now it is changing in hue in a beautiful manner. It is a sort of al tan color now, except right around the edges, and there it is some darker, but a month or so of steady work} with it is going to do wonders. 1| am going to have it wrapped in| chamois, so that my fingers won't) spoil its tints.” “Why, I never heard of the like.” “Of course you didn’t. You never used one, did you? Ha! Ha!” “Used one? Mr. Gowanus, I have four, as you know, and I never yet heard of one turning color, as you say.” “What? Why, mine is going to be as black as a coal inside of six} months, and maybe I'll not be proud of it then!” “Well, of a-l-l t-h-i-n-g-s!” “Gee! but it gave me a scare this morning. I was filling it with tobacco and it slipped out of my hands and almost struck the floor when I caught it. It would have broken me all up to have lost it at this stage of the game.” 5 “TI should think it would!” “I've got it in my pocket now, and I'm going to have a new mouth- piece fitted to it to-day’’—— “What in this world are you talking about, man?” “Why, this new pipe. What do you think?" And Mr. Gowanus held the pipe out for inspection, but she flounced angrily into her house and slammed tke door. wb, Reser, “It’s so hard to be economical. any: a time I get to wishing I was a Russe Sage, or something.” “Huh! he's worse off. If it’s hard to be economical when you have to, just think how much ler it must be when you don't have to."—Philadelphia ress. / Bottled under Government super- vision direct from the barrel at the Distillery with its natural flavor, nothing added to or taken from it.
