DOLLIE ON GUARD.
Cozy in a corner of the big lounge she lies. Sleeping in the shadows of her I‘giltclosed eyes; Dreaming of play and the long, long day, And her dimpled little dollie. who never runs away. For dollie keeps so still, and eyes opened wide. And she couldn’t go to sleep if she tried I Oh, you know, it wouldn't do for the two to doze. For rats might nibble the little girl's Right through her shoes—or brother might come With the rubby-dub-dum of his new snare drum! So dollie. with pride, keeps her eyes open wide. And watches and waits at the little girl's side! ‘Chicago Record.'
