Wanted-A Little Girl.
W here have they gone to -the little
girls,
With natural manners and untural
eurls F
WVho love their dollies and like their
t ys.
Alnd talk of something besides the boys?
Little old wmomen in plenty I find,
Mature in minners and old of mind;
Little old flirts who talk of their 'beaus'
And vie with each other in stylish
clothes.
Little old belles, who, at nine ar-A ten,
Are sick of pleasure and tired of men.
Weary of travel, of balls, of fun
And find no new thing under the sun.
qJnce, in the beautiful long ago,
Aome dear little children I used to k now
Girls who were merry as lambs at play,
And laughed and rollicked the livelong
day.
T'hey thought not. at all of the 'style'
of their Clothes,
They never imagined that boys were
'l)CIUX' -
'Ot her girls brothers' auid 'mates' were
they;
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone ? it you see
One of thei,aniywhere, semi lici' to ie.
I would give a medal of purest gold
'T'o one of those dear little girls of old,
With an innocent. heart and ani open
smile,
Who knows not. the meaning of 'flirt'
or 'style.' [Ella Wheeler.

'It is me, Judge 1'
'This is the third time you have
appeared here within six mouths.'
'It is, sir.'
'I warned you, Julia.'
'You (lid, honey.'
'And now it's thirty days for
You.'
'I expected it honey. Judges are
like other folks, and must have
their way once in a while. I'm
go)ing-good bye-I'm gone!'
'SASS.'
'-Ienry Williams, why did you
pound Your wife?'
'Kase she sassed me, gah.'
'If you should sass her woal I
she have the right to pound you '
'No, sah.'
'All 0on one side you see, IHenry.'
'F'm going to give you a ve
tion for thirty (lays.'
'Doan' want it, sah.'
'liut you'll have to take it.'
Henry fell to the floor in what
seemed to be a fit, but when he
heard 'em talk of electricity~ to
work a cure he arose to his' feet,
howed humbly to the court, and(
fell back with the remark:
'Concluded to go, sah. I needs
rest an' fresh air, an' i'ze miuch

loaded pistol to his head and
threatened to blow his brains out,
unless the girl who had refused
him would consent to have him,
was coolly told by the young lady
he would have to blow some
brains into his head first, lHe
didn't blow.

one hundred and fifty feet by an

and remarked, "Well if I don't

Fitz, "he has returned to the city

"The hateful wretch. I wish he
