THE BIROS DO THUS.

I slept all day. The birds do thus That sing awhile at eve for ns. To have 70a soon I gave away. Well satisfied to give, a day. Life's not so short I oare to keep The unhappy days. I choose to sleep. —R. L. Frosh in Independent.

POISON LOVE.

It was siesta at tbe mine of La Esperansa. Andrea was pruning her oalico flounoes preparatory to a stroll past the offices, ostensibly to take some drawn work to the much bored wife of tbe manager, bat— well, Andrea was both a coquette and bad & musical laugh by the grace of God, for if those talents are not heaven sent It is hopeless to attempt to graft them.

It was very warm and the air was shimmering before Jimmy Avery's eyes as he oame oat of tbe cool dusk of the big adobe room and stood looking up the slope Andrea was ooming down. There was a -great hamming of yellow Jackets aitrand a heap of red tuna skins. Once Jimmy Avery was innocent, good and young. That he was any of tbe three now was doabtfal. Yet be was maob younger than be looked, and

ossibly his faoe was more weak than eviL was still a handsome face,

though the

fiery Mexican liquors had burnt It a dull red. He was puffy under his eyes, and bis eyes were clouded.

Andrea's flounce struck the little blood red pile of skins rotting in the sun. In a moment she WHS the center of tbe fiercely buzzing insects. One stung her on the oeok, and she ran crying to the secretary, whom she saw in front of the office rolling his cigarette and staring up the red clay road at her.

The yellow Jackets went back to their feast, and the young secretary led in the peon woman, and placing her in his big leather chair—she had never sat on a chair before—rubbed the swollen bite on her round, brown throat with ammonia, soothing her tenderly, for Jimmy Avery was tendor to all women until they crossed him. Then his savageness and brutalit were such as to make a mere ordinary man who knew nothing of tenderness vtand aghast.

Andrea's black eyes wore vory full and lustrous with the Mexican sun in their dusky dopths, and there was a dimple at the corner of her poppy red mouth. "I never see you in Leon," he said

her. "Sometimes I go. Why do you never? There's lots of music and the paseo. This is a lonely placo for a pretty woman."

Androa hung hor head and twisted hor fingers together. Jimmy in some disgust at her stupidity signed for her to go, and settled himself back to the slumbor that had been brokon by tho clear vibrations of hor pretty 1 \gh.

That evening Androa sat on tho mud floor, sullenly stirring the olln podrida simmering over the lire of stloks in tho corner. It JP not good for one's temper to sit on a soft, leather chair in tho afternoon and cnmo homo to sit on a mud floor, to listen to praises of one's beauty there and horo to thenakod, brown baby, crying ond crying on Its heap of rags by tho wall.

When Limpy appoarod In tho low doorway, he knew by tho back of Andrea's head tliero was a storm browing. Llmpy was tho limpiador—engine cleaner and night watchman. Ho wys also llmpy by nature, dragging one foot heavily after him.

A ndrea co^t a look of scorn upon him as ho knolt by tho rags trying to quiet tho

baby—he

was so black and so dirty. Ho had

hud smallpox, and each pit was brimming with dirt, lie was fairly coated, clothes and all, with coal dust and grease. lie had a wide mouthed, friondly grin, and goodness shone from every lino of his homely face. Tho men all loved Limpy, and they said of him, "lie's white insido anyway."

It was after tho scanty moal had boen eaten that the lowering clouds broke. Llmpy listened In patient aniazomont whllo tho Spanish rattlod round his ears like lmllstonoa on a tin roof. "But why do you want to go to Leon? Tho baby is bore, and I am hero, arid"— "You and the baby I" And Andrea orlod and tore at hor rebozo with her sharp, white teeth.

She used the same arguments that Eve probably used. She was not fooling well, •ho needed a chango, and there was no

ciety and noamusomont for hor—all women say thesamo, indifferent languagesporhaps.

Whon your wages are $11 a month and oorn is (5 cents a pound, it is hard having a wife who pines for a change. Limpy put it to her fairly and squarely. There wore the pigs at Marti], where his brother was tending thoni. If she wont to Leon, tho pigs would boon short rations, and already tho corn doled out was not keeping paee with tho appetites of the unfortuunte swine.

Androa decided, as was to lie expected, against the pigs. Faithful, honest Limpy faltered when he thought of them, for the pigs were the core of his hear:. Hut Andrea was his (iod. So let tho igs starve.

Tho day Andrea went to Leon in the old diligence was an eventful one. The women gathered in little groups and put their heads together, whispering of her warily, for Andrea's tetu}er was notable. She was

burro, they said, and hor in- tl rr was a burro, and her grandmother, and also were they pigs to the third and fourth generation. And their wrath had foundation, for when in tho memory of man had a peon woman traveled tox-j-oon by conch? A woman with feet. There were much fluttering of rebozo ond silvery chiming of laughter, and at last the old coach rumbled away down the winding mountain road, and out of the radiant blue air rippled Andrea's laugh.

That night at dinner Mrs. Orton looked the young secretary full between the eyes after her wont and said very softly: "I saw that pretty And mi starting olT on the conch today. Did you ever notice her, Mr. Avery?"

Jimmy helped himself to some vile compound or other from the big sil^ frfish the mnto was holding. "Yes—that is,

which one do you mean?"

"1 take very little stock in that wife of tbe night watchman's," said the manager, a ponderous, heavy footed man, with a large, benevolent manner, very trying to some people's nerves. "I was witness* to a most uniuotberly uctlon on her part''

Jimmy looked bored. What were the pelado to him? So be paid aoant attention while Mr. Orton spun a woeful yarn of Andrea's carelessly dropping tbe baby among tbe burros as they came Into tbe narrow defile above the camp, laden with the long leather sacks of ore. How Che baby eaoaped, If It aver did, was more than Jimmy could hare told you. But he could have told you that Leatrtoe Orton bad a ball opened scarlet hibiscus In her blond bair.

Wonderful stortes at Andrea's doings In Leon were w^Xted back to tbe camp-that

she bad been seen with a red ribbon in her hair that she had pawned tbe pigs. Once an incredible tale came, brought apparently by tbe birds of tbe air. It was that Andrea had been seen walking one evening in tbe jardin arm in arm with a "grin go." Bat it was sadly true she had pawned tbe pigs.

Pawned the pigs I The interest and weekly rations of corn were more than Llmpy could pay. To think of losing those beautiful porkers.

It was learned one day, to tbe intense exoitement of the camp, that Limpy was contemplating a bath, which, of course, portended, in the minds of the gossips, a visit to Leon, and, it was hoped, a dressing down of Andrea.

The momentous affair was over. Gertrudls had washed his clothes while it was in progress and a brand new Llmpy, clothed, but hardly in his right mind, set forth for Leon. He felt it glory and expense enough for Andrea to ride there, and so had oheerfilly made ready to walk, for it is but 60 kilometers and downhill all the way.

But coming back is another tale. So It was a question whether it was the long uphill pull tbe next night that had graven Limpy'8 face with those lines of pain.

One afternoon, having received their monthly pay, the men were deep in a game of monte, sitting on the ground in front of Limpy's mud hut Limpy himself was lying on his stomach watching w|th listless eyes. Suddenly he heard over his bead Andrea's happy laugh and the baby was plumped down on his back. He arose and handed the baby back, with as muob scorn as his good, honest, ugly faoe could show.

She had come for money, which, to her surprise, Llmpy was unwilling to give. True, things bad been a little awkward when he paid the unexpected visit to Leon, .but that was his own fault. If he had sent word he was coming, everything would have been agroeabla She was hardly prepared for Li. apy's attitude. He was done with her. He would take the baby,' and she must go away, and not one oentavo should she have. "'J/1

Andrea did not despair. It watf'nsomething to have the baby off her hands, and she was not counting entirely upon Llinpy.

A big golden moon*,wa& slbv^Iy filing from behind a black peSlc" wh'e'ri the"secretary, who was dressing for dinner, heard a knock at the door. He was astonished and annoyed on answering to flnd Andrea. He stepped out with her in tho ebon shadow of a mesqulte tree. Flattering himself on making short work of her, he turned, with the last harsh sentence on his lips, to look straight Into Beatrice Orton's faoa "Was thero ever such luck?" he groaned as he closed the door. "What was I saying? Something about my salary would not permit of my supporting half the peon women of Mexico. Good God! And what made mo say she bad more now than the others? The only woman on earth I could ever care for to hoar that I"

If Jimmy hod said tho only woman on earth he over triod to flirt with and failed, he would have been nearer tho mark. On coming to La Esperanza he had noted with interest the disparity in the ages of the manager and his wifa But she had treuted him with the most discouraging coolness and kindness.

The moonlight was flooding the patio and corral, leaving tho portales in deep shadow. Dinner was over, and the two mon had been smoking tholr cigars undor tho portales, but now Mr. Orton hod fullen asleep in the broad Mexican hammock hung In the jasmine arbor.

Mrs. Orton had taken Jimmy's hat, of a fushion unknown to the camp bofore his arrival, and tripping down to tho arbor placed it over her slumbering lord's face, for foar, she explained to Jimmy, a stray moonbeam might shine in his face and make him loco. Thore was distinot coquetry in hor glunce und laugh.

Hopo was Loginning to revive a trifle in Mr. Avery'8 tosom. He had thrown away bis cigur, and was oonsldorlng, with malllco aforethought, the white hand resting so temptingly near when there was heard the sound of an excited voice.

Mrs. Orton went to meet the tall, white figure which appeared in tho palm lined corridor. A sentence or two were exchanged, a bit of which Jimmy caught. Then Mrs. Orton pointed toward the arbor at the far en's of tho patio, and Andrea, with set fact,, ran down the long path loading to it. "Confound it all. What does she think to gain by having me discharged, with old Orton suoh a prig, of oourse"—

Thero was a flutter of laces before him, round arms about him and a soft mouth on hla. Was tho world coming to an ond? Boa trice Orton's voice was suying: "You do love me? Oh, say you do!" "Why, I ndoro you!" And ho threw his arm aL mt her, but ho kept an anxious eye upon tho urbor, and his arm grow limp in spite of himself. "I told hor you were in the hammock. Oh, Jimmy, sho has a long, sharp knife! Do you think she will kill him?" she whispered.

Jimmy shook her off as he would,o scorpion. "Orton! Orton!" ho called loudly as ho rose to his feet. "For God's sake, wake up, Orton!"

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.

PRINCESS MAY.

Why She Wears a Medal Presented by the Royal Humane Society.

Here is a picture that we print with great pleasure. It represents only a dog, but it would be hard to convince us that f.bia noble animal has not some traits or feelings that make her worthy of being ranked among human beings. Her name is Princess May, and she belongs to a Titan who lives in Bolton, England. The cut is reproduced from a photograph, 5 feet by 4 in size, the largest photograph of a dog ever made.

You will notice that Princess wears a medal, and thereby hangs a tale. One day she saw a child on a street car track,

somewhat rudely disturbed sat up in tho hammock. Over him bent a wild eyed woman.

Mr. Orton, being the most prosaic of men, noted nothing wrong, failing utterly to see the sinister looking knife holf concealed by tho folds of her rebozo. "My good creature," he said testily, "modulate your voice when you call ma I was not asleep—merely reflecting." l'hon this reflective gentleman rolled out of the hammock and toddled out in the moonlight. Jimmy Avery was racing for life down between the red roses, and Mrs. Orton snt shivering and sobbing under the portales. "It's nothing, Avery.'' callc:i Mr. Orton benevolently. "Some one of the servants thought I was asleep. I must say she

fog horn."

Blessed Is he who perceiveth nothing, for his days shall end in peace. Jimmy Avery looked in the glass when he reached his room, looked at his haggard eyes and bis lined face and repented aloud a quotation that had struck his fancy in some long forgotten book, "Whoso takes a lore not lawfully his own gathers a flower with poison on its petals." And Beatrice writhed all night and cried to beaven to witness tbe most wretched woman alive. And all because she bad found tbe path to hell as stony and steep as others tbe road to high heaven.

ndrea that night drank pulque, and «utnblluga8 she wentdown tbe mountain road to Leon fell by tbe wayside and slept till morning. She lives to this day In Leon —has painted cbeeks and is called "tbe nina with tbe songlike laugh."

And Llmpy—dear, patient Limpy! He lost three reals out of his wages that night. Tbe baby was sick and be could not go to work. It cried and cried and would not be comforted for tbe best meaning man always a little clumsy with a baby.— Edith Wagner In Argonaut.

with the horses bearing down upon it at a fast trot. Realizing, just as a human being would have done, the imminent danger to which the little one was exposed, she ran out from the footpath, seized tho child by the clothing and dragged it off the track.

The Royal Humane society awarded a medal to Princess for her noble act, and it was formally presented in the town hall of Bolton by Lord Stanley. This is the first time that a medal was ever presented to a dog for an act of the kind, though a good many have been presented to them for saving persons from drowning. Princess May is a Newfoundland, as her picture shows, a species of which the life saving instinct seems to be a marked characteristic.

Christmas In Russia.

Children in Russia have away of celebrating Christmas that is quite differr ent from that of American boys and girls. In a certain part of Russia it is customary for the little people to dress to represent animals and go running about town like wild beasts. Sometimes they represent wolves, bears and even ostriches. Of course this is done by dressing in the skins of wild beasts. The boys who are not disguised as animals pretend they are the keepers. Some of tho party play musical instru ments. Others catry torches, and altogether the sight is very weird. They go to every house and give an entertainment. Then, of course, the inmates offer them refreshments at the end of the performance.

At other places in Russia ^ligious entertainments are popular. These entertainments are given in a small playhouse with marionettes (the little figures made to act by means of strings). One boy carries the small theater on his shoulder. Another oarries a brilliant banner and another a long pole, to the end of which is, fastened a lantern. These lanterns are arranged something likft the ones used in political parades in this country. The sides are transparent, and on them are sketched scenes representing the Christian history of the day.

Snow Yacht of the Bawwood.

Have you ever seen the snow yachts of the basswood? Almost any breezy day in early winter they frolic swiftly over the snow in the parks or in the woods. There is a funny little brown sail about 8 inches long, curled at the edges and looking very much like a dried leaf. At the center of this thero is a stiff stem, -with several little green balls hanging at the end of it. When the wind blowfly it catches the sail .and whisks it over the snow or ice, and the balls are dragged along behind, like anchors.

This snow yacht, sail and all. grows

for more than seven years, not

able to do my housework for five years. The whole length of my spine was very bad, which went to my head, being so bad that

was

about impossible for me to stoop to the floor or

on the basswocSl tree in the summer. The balls are the basswood's fruit, and the sail is a little'bract. It hangs fast to the limb until all of the leaves are gone and good sleighing cornea Then the winter winds twist it off, and it falls to the surface of the snow, to be driven far away from the parent tree. In the little balls are the basswood seeds, and when the yacht is finally lost in a drifted fence corner or near a rotten log the balls remain still nntil the snow melts, and then the seeds fall into the ground and a young basswood sprouts. Nature has provided this marvelous way for the basswood to scatter its seeds, sometimes for miles across the snow.—Chicago Record.,

Why She Didn't Tangh,

Little Ethel, who had been sent an errand, returned rather hurriedly and called out to her mother: "Oh, TTuvmma, what do you think? A little girl was crying in the street just now because she had lost some money her mother had given her. Some people laughed, but not ma "And why did not you laugh, dear?*' asked her mother. "Because, mamma,"' said the child, with trembling lip—"because the little girl was me."—Philadelphia Times.

His Atom.

A- teaoher was giving lessons in word illustrations and was examining the word atom. She told the ohildren that atom meant a small partiole of anything. It might even be so small that it could not be seen by tbe naked eye. After she had defined the word so plainly that she thought the pupils ail knew its meaning she said, "Now, some one speak a sentenoe in which the word atom will be used correctly." A boy answered, "Jimmy Brown hit me, and I'd

like to get at him."—Exohange. Refused the Wrong Beggar. "I never refuse the plea of a beggar," says a leading member of oongress. "You must not use my name and advertise me as a philanthropist, for I am not. It is simply a matter of necessity with me. I am obliged to give something to every beggar, or I could not sleep at nigbt. I made a bad mistake once, and I would rather give occasionally to the unworthy than to ever deny assistance to the worthy. "Onoe upon a time I was in St. Louis on business. It was winter, and you know how cold that town oan be when it tries hard. I was out on the street at 11 o'olock one bitter night when a chap struok me for a dime. He was poorly clad, looked hungry and sick, and I ought to have handed out the money at onoe. I was just brute enough not to do it. He followed me 100 feet, begging and pleading, and I finally threatened to have him arrested. He turned away with a sob in his throat, and I went on to the hotel. "There was a big snowstorm that night, and next morning they found bim in a drift, frozen stark and stiff. I saw the body and reoognized it. The pale face was pinched and drawn with hunger and suffering, and the eyes were as wide open as yours—great big blue eyes, sunken baok in their sookets and staring at me in an awful way. Yes, sir, they seemed to be fastened on me alone and to follow me as I moved. When I heard car drivers, draymen, bootblacks and newsboys saying how gladly they would have given tbe poor wretch a quarter to buy lodgings and food, I sneaked away, feeling that I was a murderer. It hurt me more than I oan tell you. I don't wait now to be asked for alms. I give to some who are, no doubt, undeserving, but I take my ohanoes on that. That thing rests like a murder on my oonscienoe, and notbing like it shall happen again."—St. Paul Globe.

The best remedy for rheumatism. Mr. John W. Glass, Petersburg, Va., writes: "I used Salvation Oil for rheumatism and obtained great relief. It is the best remedy I have ever tried, and I shall always keep it in the house."

Wasps and Files.

The wasp is accepted as emblematical of irritability and petty malignity, but even this much abused inseot plays a beneficial part in the work of nature. A number of wasps were seen by R. M. Barring ton of Bray, Ireland, buzzing about his cows. Closer inspection revealed that tbey were all busy catching flies. One white cow drew more wasps than any of the others because the moment a fly alighted it was seen at once against the skin. When a wasp catches a fly, it immediately bites off both wings, sometimes a leg or two and occasionally tbe head. Mr. Barrington saw some of tbe wasps, when laden with one fly, catch another without letting go tbe first and then fly away with botb. There was a constant stream of wasps carrying away flies, probably to feed tbe larvae in their nests, and returning again to the cows to catch more. In abont minutes Mr. Barrington estimated tha' between 800 and 400 flics were caush on two cows lying close to him.—Sa: Francisco Argonaut.

8nyw White Cattle.

The breed of snow white cattle which were used in the sacrifices in

then*

and Rome from 2,000 to 2,500 years ago is still in existenoe in Calabria. Great are taken to maintain tbe strain of blood in all its purity, and calves showing a single hair of any other color than white are at once separated from the herd.

Twelve tableepoonfuls of any liquid make what tbe doctors call a teacupful.

A Word or Two

to sufferers from catarrh will not be amiss if a cure can be offered. Kly's Cream Balm has become a favorite in all sections of tbe United States. Your cold in the head will be quickly relieved by it, and the severest attack of catarrh will yield to, and be perfectly cared by a thorough treatment. Catarrh is not a blood disease, but an inflammation of the passages of tbe nose and throat, due to climatic changes.

"Yes," she said, "we had our first fight jesterday. Charley was real mean, and he talked awfully cross. I should have talked cross, too, but I happened to think that I wanted to go to tbe theater. So the trouble was all over right away."—Boston Transcript.
