street near Waterloo bridge, a man
was standing, singing. In a dilapidated
armchair by the window, his audience
one wee, pretty lassie was curled up,
wrapped about with an overcoat, for it
was the afternoon of Christmas Day,
and there was no Ore In the cheerless
grate.
"Shall I light the lamp, daddy?" she
asked, as he ceased to sing and began
to execute a grotesque dance, still
whistling the refrain of his song. "It
has grown so dark that I can't see to
give you jour cues," and she held up
some tattored manuscript as she spoke.
"No, Babsle; that will do for to-night.
Don't try your eyes. Shall we have our
usual chat In the dark, pet? There Is
no rehearsal to-night. Ugh how cold
It Is. Have we no coal or wood, dearie?"
"No, dad: but it Isn't very much cold

the manager, ns ho slapped him on tho

' Halllday hugged the little coin in bis

a little Christmas for Babsle, and It had

There was a ripple of laughter as he
made his first entrance. It ncted like

FORTUNES IN TOYS.
Wenlth "WaltlnK for the Man Who Can
Invent n Popular Puzzle.
The chief penny toy now most In de
mand Is something of a meehan.cal
kind, either in the shape of a woik.ng
model or puzz'.e. The old kind of toy,
with no movement, but which simply
was made to be looked at, Is of no uso
to-day. Of the most popular penny
toys, during the last half century, more
than one dealer gave me full part.cu
lars. About 1802 or so there was a
tremendous run on penny watches with
Imitation go d chains! And the man
ager of a famous firm told me how cu-
rloiisly this tamo about. It was all
due to a woman who stood near the

An Old Timer.
A crowd of young men were seated In
one of the steamboat olllces In the city
the other afternoon while an old steam
boat veteran regaled them with stories
about old times on tho Mississippi and
reminiscences of old-time citizens.
"Did you know old Bill Jones?" asked
one of the men, nfter tho captain had
finished relating how he inn a gantlet
of Indians with his boat 'way back In
the forties.
" 'Member Bill Jones? Well, I guess
I did," replied tho captain. "Let's see
he died Just after the war. Ho was a
good old fellow, too. I knew his father
before ho wasmarrled to Bill's mother."
Ono of the boys thought the old man
was "doping," and, by way of tripping
him up on his dates, asked: "Cap, how
long have you been running on the
river?"

Mississippi when It was uothln' but a
