THE CHILDREN'S MUSICAL.
The children were discussing a possible musical entertainment for charity.
"We can't make it pay," said Jennie. "Why, I heard mamma say these singers get five hundred dollars for an afternoon!"
"Bosh! Nonsense!" said Polly. "I know a hand-organ man that'll play for an hour for twenty-five cents, and throw in a monkey!"
"Bah!" sneered Willie. "You'll never amount to a hill of beans as a man."
"I know I won't," said Bobbie, meekly. "I ain't even a bean now; but I'll tell you what I am going to be."
"What's that?"
"A man," said Bobbie.
