Is the thing, anyhow r
My dear friend. I take R that you
are a father? . 1 take it that you nave
two or three children? I take It that
those children squall more or less, dis
turbing the family and the neighbors?
I take It that spanking and cuffing
hasn't and won't stop the sqaalling?
Am t correct?"
To a dot. Say, yoa know things, '

Yes, a few," said the major, with a
grand ware of hla hand. "The squall
ing of children la a nuisance. It la at
tbe present date, but wait- a month.
Walt until oar new invention comes
oat What la now a nuisance will then
be a Joy to tbe world. Parents of
every nation will then encourage their
children to wall and squall. They will
even stick pins in them to set ep.a
caterwauling."

We have, my friend, or I should not
be talking to yoa. I bare Invented a
little device by which every squall of
every baby in the land la turned Into
music. One baby will supply the fain
tly and the neighbors with all the
music they want to bear day and night.
A pair of squalling twins will take
care or a whole block. Triplets will
frunlsb mnslc for a village. Eight or
ten babies squalling at tbe same time
will be tbe same as two brass bands
going. No more use for little German
bands, hand organs and harps.' Many
chore bes will now do away with their
cholra."
Explains the Device.
"By George! By George!" whispered
Ibe caller.
"Tbe device Is so arranged," con tin
ned tbe major, "that it will convert the
whines, squalls and colicky yells of
babyhood and childhood into topical or
sacred music. Ton can sit .right in
