BOBBY'S CHRISMS PLAINT.
By WILLIS HAWKINS.
Copyright, 1903. by American Presa
, Aiaociation
I'M awful tired o' bcin' rich.
I think it was a pity
We come into the money which
Enticed us to the city.
I with that we was poor again
An' back in Pavpaw Center
A-livin' as we ust to when
We was so much contenter.
Pa didn't have that worried look
An' raa was never nervcus
Before we had a chef to cook
An' a butler man to serve us.
I'd ruther be the way we was,
All feclin' fine an' happy,
With simple cookin' such as ma's
That never made us scrappy.
An' then the lugs the girls put on!
I think it's awful silly
That Mary Jane is "Marie Zhon" '
An' Nellie is "Natilic."
But, gracious, they git mad at me
When I say "Nell" or "Mary,"
Though that was what they ust to be
When they was 'tendin' dairy.

"I thihr ire Awptrii milly."
Them days I knew a lot o' Jboys
That I could play an' figlit with
An' swap my marbles an' my toys
Or go an stay all night with.
ut now that I'. a nr'i -- '
There'd be a great sensation
If I should play with any one
Beneath my lofty station.
An' now that Chris'mus time is near
An' Santy Claus is comin'
I don't see how he'll git in here
Unless it's through the plnnbin'.
Instead o' chimneys we have wire3
Where 'leetrio currents sizzle,
An' I guess where you don't have
fires
Your Chris'mus is a fizzle.

Santa Claus on the Street.
In the larger American cities of lot
years Siuitn Gnus linn piinic to be pret
ty uelIknowu to eer.ilody who fie
quent& the business slieets during the
two or three weeks preceding Christ
inns. The Volunteers of America, or
ganized by lialilugtnn Booth, formerly
of tb Salvation Army, supply Santo
Clauses In considerable numbers.
The traditional chimney Idea Is put
to practical use. A member of the Vol
unteers rigs himself up lu true Kris
Krlugle costume, with long ooat. Mow
ing white beard aud fur cap. lie
stands beside a miniature chimney set
on the sidewalk, on top of which Is a
Inrgft -placard requesting passersby to
drop in a coin to help send Santa Claus
down the chimney with n big Christ
mas dinner for the poor or to curry
shoes, clothing or other supplies to the
city unfortunates.
Christmas Family Advice.
To Papa Uemember the mytb of
Santa Claus, to keep it holy.
To Mamma Don't worry about the
molasses candy getting on the parlor
rug. Christmas comes but once a year,
and the stores will sell you a parlor
rug uny day.
To Miss Belle It is not necessary to
stand under a bunch of mistletoe if
you look at him the right way.
To Little Willy ijou't be envious of
Jimmy .(ones because Santa brought
him a cannon. Next year you may get
a disappearing gun. (It will disappear
mysteriously shortly-after jou begin
to make a noise, with It aud maybe
mamma can explain.)
To Haby I5e good, dear child, and
let who will be cleer.
