Verse Thrown on to Stage Makes a Hit in "babes In Toyland."

Members of the Delta Upsilon society practically filled the Majestic theater in New York the other night, where "Babes In Toyland" is being given, says the New York World. During the "arithmetic song," sung by Miss Mabel Barrison, a young man in one of the boxes tossed a bit of paper on the stage. It proved to be a verse for the song, and Miss Barrison sang it for an encore. It ran as follows:

If Schwab and Morgan want to form

A billion dollar trust

And take some plants worth thirty cents

And some about to burst;

If the public then the stock does take

And pays a good amount.

How many points does the stock break

To lose your bank account?

Put down six and carry two, etc.

The verse made the hit of the evening.
