Through the open door comes the smell of something good cook v.itli blue eyes that have smile wrin kles, iu the corners, just like his own, and crinkly dark hair, just like his own, too, bending pver the stove. She is just tasting the something that smells so good, w ith a spoon. When she sees the big man in the door she tastf sv so quickly that she l.urns her tongue! But she can .use it just the same, even if it is burned. She runs .to the big man and says, "And is that yoursetf, now, Larry, darling? Snre, I'm that glad to see "$rou I've scalded myself with the soup!" The big man had just time to saj', "Sure, Eileen, you were always a great one for burning yourself. Do y,.u remember that day at Grannie Malone's" when out into . the kitchen tumble a little Larry and a little Elileen and a baby. They have heard his voice' and they fall upon the King of the Crossing as if he weren't a king at all, but just a plain, ordinary tincl. They take off his cap and rumple hif hair. They get into his pockets and find some peppermints there. And the baby even tries to get the silver star off his breast to put into her mouth. "Look at that, now!" cries Uncle Larry. "Get along with you! Is it trying to take me off the force, you are? Sure, that star was never in tended by the city for you to cut your teeth on!" "She'll poison herself with the things she s always after putting in her mouth!" cries the menher. She More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE t me, ,.i THE CHILD AND THE MILLIONAIRE. Idler. Reemtlr at Lenox a imU boy .pureed a nickel offered him by John D. Rock. ' As old John D. sat on the porch To take the mountain air, v He saw a mildvnd gentle child ' At play beside his chair. His fingers in his pockets delved, - And presently withdrew. A glittering and radiant thing A nickel, bright and new. "Take this, my child," the old man said, Leave off your idle play, Jnvest this gift with careful thrift, - And you'll be rich some day. With such a handsome property, You'll learn the love of toil, And may, like me, at' eighty-three, Possess the Standard Oil." The little child held up his, hand, Palm outward in alarm, And, deeply piqued it shrilly Mirieked,- "Free gifts do naught but harm. Though of the proletariat, - I have not sunk so low " That I'm content to take a eent Without a quid pro-quo!" Now honor to the little child That valiantly did spurn As worthless trash a sum of cash , It knew it could not earn! And now our simple tale is done, We reach the moral which Concludes it, viz. : That urchin is Not destined to get rich! WHICH HE DOES: Apparently Villa would rather fight than be president. THERE'S A LIMIT. In Lenine's claim of ultimate' world domination he says nothing about conquering Ireland. . WHICH WILL HELP A LITTLE. i ' Clothes to Be Made From Paper Headline.

And when the children have quite worn Uucle Larry out he sits- upon the floor, where they have him by this time, and runs his fingers through his hair, which is standing straight up, and says to the mother, "Sure, Eileen, when you and I were children on the old sod we were never such spalpeens as the likes of these! They have me destroyed en tirely, and me the biggest policeman on the force! Is it American they are, or Irish, I want to know?" "It's Irish-American we are," shouts little "Larry.
