The Strand Music Store, Albany, N. Y., purchased

tremely valuable corner.

entire line of the Weaver Piano Co., York, Pa. Man-

sale are beyond his expectations.
I memorate 'twas one of those "Hurrah boy touches."
One of the kind, "Tonight I'll slip this back to
you."
But w T eeks, aye, months, rolled by and yet I saw you
not,
Nor did I care, Two Spot, what had become of
you.

ON THE RETURN OF TWO DOLLARS.
By ALD. JOHN J. COUGHLIN, of Chicago.
[Author of "Bright Moon of Love" and Other Song-
Gems.]
O, two-case note, methought I ne'er again would see
thee;
I'd given you up for lost, with others gone before.
But now that you've returned, I greet you warmly,
fondly;
And I reiterate, methought I ne'er would see thee
more.

ARTISTIC
Two "bones" cut no material ice with yours sin-
cerely;
But still I like to see a man his promise keep.
And that reminds me of what Ella Wheeler Wilcox
says:
"Man's inhumanity to man makes countless millions
weep."
I'm always there to help a friend financially em-
barrassed;
Just say the word and I into my trousers pocket
dive.
But oft when I get back the two case that's been
borrowed,
'Tis only for to strike me next time for a five.
—Chi. Tribune.
