And to think I ot tor soold him for bis ev-

When I only rikollout him ai the bout o' lit-

I wibht a hundod times day 'at he'd oome
trompin' in
And all the noise he ever made was twio't
as loud aglu.
It 'ud seom liko some soft muilo played on
somo fluo lustnimont
'Long sido o' this loud lonoBomonoss since

Of course the clock don't tick no loader than
it uut to do-
Yet now thoy's times it 'pears liko it 'ud
bn'st itself in two;
And lot a rooator suddouliko crow som'ers
clout around
And seems's as cf mighty nigh it it 'ud lift
mo off the ground.
And same with all tho oattlo when they bawl
around tho bars
la the red o' early aioruiu' or the dask and
dew and stars
When the neighbors boys 'at passes novor
stop but Just go on
A-whlHtli' kinder to theirso'v's sonco littlo

And thon o' nights when mother's sittin up

A bilin' pears or soinopiu' and I set and

Tel the moon out through tho wlndor don't
look blggor'n a dime
And things keep gittin' utiller Btillor still-
er all the time
I've kotched myso'f a-wishin' as I clum on

To wind the clock as I have done fer mor'n

KKOLISIIMIiN WKAB TflEM.
Many KngliMhuien wear cornets and
these gentlemen suffer moro inconvcnl-
once from this Botirco whero thy aro fur
from homo thau from nny other. Tho
places whero mon can buy corsets are
limited in number aud known only to a
few who keep this knowlodgo to them-
selves. A stranger therefore has to rely
entirely Uon Ids own resources. A woll
known manufacturer of corsots on Broad-
way was recently visited by" n dapper lit-
tlo Englishman who was only about five
feet tull aud ho carried a cano and woro
a high Bfik hat a surprlelngl v mil collar
a red necktie and a pnlr of white leg-
gings. He was not shy about his needs
as an Amorican would bo but mlnolng up
to a pretty young saleswoman sold:
"Can I get a corset hcrof"
'Tor your slstcrf"
"Nol" exclaimed the young follow lift-
ing his cyobrowH In surprisQi "for my-
Bcif."
"You will please" said tho young wo-
man drawing herself up until bIio looked
seven foot toll "not attempt to JoUo with
me. You will And tho bookkoopor in tbo
ofllce."
Tho poor littlo dndo would havo boon
pained if it were possible but an it was
not he whs only astonished. Ho spolto to
the manager nnd was informed in a frigid
manner by that gentleman that tho llrni
had not yet found onough idiots in this
country to mako it worth their whilo to
construct corsets with the front tho same
Bhape as the back.
"Well can't you make oner" ho oskod.
"No air wo caunot and that settles
it"
Tha firms that mako corsets for men
havo only one difficulty. It is that of pro-
curing a clerk with tact enough to bold a
customer when ho gets him. In thto
country men like to appear masculine if
thoy havo anything manly ubout them. A
clerk uiuet n6t smllo when he is artlessly
told by a customer that hoiwauts to order
a corset for a friend who is precisely the
customer's shape and sizo and who Is too
modest or too much engrossed in businoss
to attend to tho matter himself. Bomo-
times tho friend in tho background 1b do-
scribed as being an invalid and in need of
the corsot to hold him together whou he
couchs. Nono of theso statcmcnta de-
ceive tho cleric but ho goes to work nt
tho order Just on If ho boliovod tho cus-
tomer frequently making pathetic in-
quiries regarding the precise physical con-
dition ot the ailing friend.
TnnCE CLASS EB OP WRAREIM.
There aro three classes of men who wear
coroeta those who wear them for their
hoalth or physical comfort tho idiots who
wear them with the idea that It improves
thoir shape nnd thediules that wear thorn
so that their coats will set upon their
backs without a wrinkle. Tho first are
usually very corpulent men to uso the
expression of. a fushionablo tailor would
wabblo too much without them. Tho
second sort nro tho simplo minded follows
who believe that a slim waist causes the
breast to bulge out and thot this with
pronounced hips indicates surpasslug
strength. Bomo of these mon aro so slim
that thoir waists any way could bo
spanned with tho hands but this is not
ooimlrtorod and thoy wear corsots thut nro
drawn so tight that they look liko a sau-
pn:;?o with a string tiod around the mlddla.
The men who woar corsets for tho soko of
their tailors are usually of that contempt-
ible class known as mushers.
When a miui begin wearing corsets it
Is hard to tell where ho will stop. If ho
liegins a cureHi Inspection of his person
Le is apt to grow very dissatlsflcd with
Uio handiwork of uuturo and attempt in
Ms clumsy way to improvo upon her.

look liko a freuk or a ruotiHtrosity of
porao kind. Many a mini of good shapo
has lgun in a simplo way to Improve
litmself In the milter of physique nnd
endod in becoming a monomaniac on tho
ub)cct. A well known tailor not fifr

Little Gcrtrudo in tbo course ot hor

fessor Cicero Potcrn whoso specialty is

was awo which govo way to curiosity
when sbo perceived that tho dark huod
visitor so fur from being an ogro was
disposed to be a big playfellow. Attar
the professor had laughed and JokedWd
told stories Oortru'de voutured upon a
startling personal lnquiryi
"Mr. Potcrs havo you any littlo tar

To say that ProfossoV Poters laughed
would but faintly descrlbo the effect of
the question. Dentists' show windows
seemed to loop up in his month in rapid
succession one after another; and for
hours afterword lie was heard to ejaculate
"tab babies" at five minute intervals.-

looved from tbo ordinary unablo to an-
