I've sure been called a lot of thing's Since I've been fooling round on earth. They've even called me names, b' jings, That cast reflections on my birth. They've called me "grafter," "snide" and "crook"? Tea, they have named me worse than that But here comes some man with a book That calls me "proletariat!" Now, I have lived the best I could. I've paid my debts when necessary. I've been, I reckon, average good For one so human and contrary. But all my effort in the line Of keeping straight and all of that Is wasted, and my eyes run brine If I'm a "proletariat!" I * ' 1 I don't know what the word can mean, And, tell the truth, I'm scared to learn, j .Far as I know I've never seen A sample and don't care a durn ! If I should waste the brief remains ?Of what short time I have at bat Without once getting through my brains The sense of "proletariat." Yet while I live and have my health I'd have the whole world understand That, though I've neither fame nor wealth, J There's none that dares to lift his hand And swear that I, peace loving man That tries to side step family spats. Could e'er be listed with the clan That's labeled "proletariats." ?Strickland W. Gillilan in Judge. Pleasant Prospect.

He has decided to wait till the old gentleman is disabled from a fall on the ice or till something equally propitious turns up. It happened in this way: | When he reached {he house, the girl met him at the door, pearly tears stealing down her fair cheeks. "Oh, George," she whispered, "I am ! so glad you have come. Please go into the library and see if you can calm ^father; he is so excited and is raging about, knocking over the furniture and j breaking things." "Certainly," George said briskly. "What is the matter with the old gentleman?' j "I'm sure I don't know," she said. ] "He was all ttght and I just began to tell him that you wanted to marry me."?Lippincott's. \ On His Way to Take the Waters.

"No, thanks," said the caller, whipping a notebook out of his pocket and making an entry in it "I don't want anything done. I am merely making a collection of monumental liars.
