"Oh, yes, | remember: break up

"Why does she do that II asked.
because her health is broken into"
"Broken down"
"Broken down Oh, yes And, in
deed, since the smallpox has broken

"Broken out"
''She thinks she will leave it for a

tickets, and who was the first in the
whole line, found, when the sale began,
that five rows of seats had been mark

to take his choice among only the un-

!B7 The mother of the baby elephant
at Bridgeport is sick, and the only ele-
phant doctor in the country has been
summoned from New York to dose her.
1t requires good deal Of strategy as
well as medical skill to doctor ele-
plants. When an elephant is we'll it
will take almost anything; but when
uuwell it is obstinate. The method
employed to get oil down Hebe's throat
was to suspend the bottle above her
with long rubber tube inserted in her
mouth. She kept her teeth firmly
closed upon the hose until the opera
tlon of breathing caused her to relax
her grip, and then little of the liquid
would run down. This performance
was repeated at nearly regular inter
walls until the whole bottle was emptied.
The entire operation consumed about
an hour aud a half.

to see the show, and he had a bunch of
tirecrackers, cause it was the Fourth of
July. The feller he took one off, and
put it in his mouth, and then he lit ono
of the others and held 'em out to the
pOssum, and said, "Have cigarette ?"
The pOssum it snatched 'em and
its eyes like it said, ''NOw you can jest

My Uncle Ned he had a possum,
which was pet, and he had little

music box and looked the other way,
and the possum it sneaked up and put
the music box in the pouch of its belly,
a playin' the Sweet Bye and Bye real
nice. Then Uncle Ned he went in the
kitchen and called Mary, that's the
housemaid, and said : "Mary, you 90

Bimeby Mary she came a running

The Way st. Albans Boys are Taught
Respect.

He came down Main street squatted
on bit of sled just large enough to
hold him and Il bag of corn. The horse
over which he drew the reins was held
together by harness made up largely
of pieces of ropes, which prevented the
total demolition of the beast. Wrapped
up i'll an old army blanket and with a
dilapidated flannel cap on his head, he
made such a picture rs attracted the at
tention of the boys. "Say, ole feller,
take reef in yer capr' "Drive yer
hoss slower or he'll fall to pieces :" 80
my, why don't yer have yer photograph
taken y resounded in his ears, and the
mellow snow balls beat tattoo upon
old Dobbin's flanks. We regret to say
that he was not Job, but if he had
been our respect would have diminish
ed. No, he stopped and started on a
dead run for those boys, with thong
about four feet long in his hands, and
made for the gamins. He played with
them as a father with his boys, and
they howled an accompaniment. He
will never inherit the earth, for he was
not meek, but his Objurgations kept
time to his strap. Aud when he got on
his sled again he drove on unmOlested,
while about half dozen boys toiled
slowly toward home, as if they had had
an incipient attack of rheumatism. 1t
happened in the early part of the win
ter, but there has been no man who has
been received with more respectful si-
lence since. Whatever others may suf-
fer, that hero of the blanket and the
strap is greeted with a most respectful
silence whenever he and his sled are
drawn into town.

We were in daily expectation of
Aunt Clarice's arrival, the date of which
was not quite certain, as she was stay
ing with friends who continually urged
her to prolong her visit. After the day
for her coming to us had been three
times fixed and as often postponed,
made up my mind not to expect her
until l saw her. Consequently l had
dismissed all thoughts of her from my

OF course Jack and l embraced,
with tears after the double tragedy.
Neither of us could accuse the other,
you see, for if his pet had killed mine,
mine had proved equally fatal to his.
Then and there we fOrswore all future
division of interests, whether in the
shape of pets or anything else.
Uncle Philip and Aunt Clarice Phelps
prove to be the most cheerful and con-
tented of elderly couples. 1t seems that
it is an old love affair. Jack knew it all
along, which was the reason of his pro-
fame laughter when be found that they
had established themselves in the same
house. They were engaged when both
were young, but quarrelled. Aunt
Clarice married Mr.. Vaughn out of
pique, while Uncle Philip remained a
bachelor for her sweet sake.
We are thoroughly recOnciled now,
and stranger things have happened than
that we should be their heirs, after all.

1t was rather curious, l thought, that
since Aunt Clarice had left US so alb
ruptly we had seen nothing either of her
or Uncle Philip, although more than
week had passed. Aunt Clarice was

once crossed our threshold since that
unlncky day.

on the subject to Jack, with Bijou hop

the door bell rang, and Jane brought in
the morning mail. There was ouly one
letter, and that l saw in a moment to
be from Aunt Clarice.
"High time, think - | said as tore
