was warm evening and the dog came in with
his mouth open and his tongue protruding
from his mouth. He made directly for the
hostess, who manifested great ureasiness at
the first sight Of the unexpected animal. AS
he came nearer the young woman dropped
her fan, mounted first the heavy uphols tered
chair and then the center table.

man, as he balanced himself amidst the man

"Oh he's been tn at way all summer" re-

There is very generous boy up on St.
Anthony hill whose feats of generosity bid
fair to get him into notoriety. He no sooner
takes fancy to a new playmate than he
desires to present them with ell the toys and
playthings that come within view AS re-
suit he is most popular with the children of
his immediate neighborhood, and invariably
the captain of every military company raised
among his associates.
Not long ago he met for the first time a
little faXen-haired girl who had just moved
into the neighborhood. Her large blue eyes
and red and white complexion made q very
strong impression upon him. and he decided,
at once to make life pleasant for the new
conner by presenting her with some play
things. A brief conversation convinced him
that nothing but doll babies and doll houses
would be at all acceptable to her, as the
ordinary toys had no charms for her.
He had no dolls, no doll houses, and, having
expended all his ready money on the Fourth
of July, was without the necessary funds to
buy such playthings. He went home, and,
spying his sisters toy house filled with dolls
and tiny furniture, made up his mind that
his sister must be robbed to enrich the little
blonde. Suiting his actions to the mental de-
cision, he borrowed the doll outfit while his
sister was away and presented dolls, house and
furniture to the new conner.
Later, the loss Of the sister was discovered,
and an investigation resulted in finding the
articles and returning them to their proper
places. The generous boy is saddest when he
attempts to sit down. THE ONLOOKER.
