Two Plucky Girls.

A Belfast girl deserves comparison with the plucky Squirrel Island girl who, fulling from a yacht, sang out, “Luff her up. Cap’n, and i'll climb aboard!” A sailboat capsized in the harbor the other day and Mr. W. H. Howe went overboard. His llve-year-old daughter, standing on the bank, exclaimed: “Hold on, pupa! Stand right on your feet. I’m coming to you - as soon as I can get my shoes and stockings off,” and she proceeded to prepare to go to the rescue.
