A BROKEN HEARTED SQUIRREL.
The intensity of animal affection has
just been pathetieally illustrated in Sa-
vannah, Ga. Three years ago Jacob
Gardner, of Bull street, sold a lady a
large black squirrel which had attracted
considerable attention while at the store
on account OF its unusual size and the
beauty of its coat. The animal became
the favorite pet of the purchaser and was
often given the freedom of the house and
extended other liberties not often enjoy-
ed by its kind when in captivity. Oc-
casionally the chatterer left the premises
but never failed to return when night ap-
preached. 1t was the object of almost
constant petting and caressing, and near
ly always slept snuggled up in the arms
of its mistress. A few days ago the own
er left the city for short time leaving
the squirrel at home. The little animal
soon missed her, and ran from room to
room all over the house and grounds in
search of her, giving evidences of grief.
Ali efforts at consolation on the part of
the inmates of the house were unavail-
ing, and the squirrel refused either to be
comforted or partake of its food, from
time to time giving vent to pitiful little
cries indicative of grief After nearly
week had elapsed, and it became evident
that the little sorrower's death was a mat
ter of only few days, the owner was no.
titled and returned home. Her arrival
was greeted with evidences OF wild Joy by
the squirrel, which pranced about the
house and jumped into her arms with all
the signs of ecstatie happiness that its
weakened condition would permit. 1t
made every effort TO partake of the tempt
ing food placed before it, but was unable
to swallow, and on the following day,
with its eyes turned most pitifully into
those of its mistress, gasped out it's life
while lying in her arms. Bunny's heart
had been broken too long to be healed
even by the glad balm found in its mis-
tress' return.

THE FEET OF A BEE.

Naturalists say that the feet of the
common working bee exhibit the combin-
alton of basket, brush and pair of
pincers. The brush, the hairs of which
are arranged in symmetrical rows, is only
to be seen with the microscope. With
this brush of fairy delicacy the bee
brushes lite velvet robes to remove the
pollen dust with which it becomes loaded
while sucking up the nectar. Another
article, followed like a spoon, receives
all the gleanings which the insect carries
to the hive. Finally, by opening them
one upon another, by means of hinge
these two pieces become pair of pin
GERS, which render important service in
the construction of the combs.-Home

THE SHEEP AT GRANDPA'S
FARM.

of all the lovely things we do. my sister Maud
and I,
In summer days, at grandpa's farm, wnere
hills are green and high,
There's nothing that we like SO well as being
- sent to keep,
All through the shady afternoon, HOOK or
milk white sheep.
You see, each lambkin knows it's name; and
when we call aloud,
From every corner of the field the feecy dar-
lings crowd.
At twilight when the sun goes down, to let
the stars outshne.
We bend for them some willow boughs, or
dainty budding vine,
And grandpa bids us give them salt; they
think it quite treat;
Just as we think of sugar plums, or bonbons
nice and sweet.
But when the frisky little ones eat quick and
run away,
Excuse them. please, they're very young"
their mothers seem to say.
wonder people think them dumb; I'm sure
the wise old ewes
Could tell some things to giddy girls who have
no wit to lose.
How patiently they pace along, and let the
lambkins play,
And chase their shadows on the grass, and
skip about all day.
One never sees them looking cross; and that's
what grandpa meant
That ''silly'' once, in olden days, was pure and
innocent
And in the Good Book. Maud and / together
love to read
Of pastures green and waters still, where hap
by fiocks may feed.
We know the Shepherd loves the lambs, and
oft we pray to Him
At eve low kneeling by our beds, when all the
earth is dim;
And when we wake and laugh and play, and
when we go to sleep,
We trust that He will keep us safe. as we have
kept the sheep.

crown should be forever hers. Easel.
ated, betrayed, she began to sing her
song for the Sun.
Again the Moon came and told the
Tree. The fond, loyal heart waved her
away, as before, and believed only in
Laughing Water.
Time went by, and she grew more and
more estranged, and began the parting
which was forever.
Slowly, but surely, she followed the
Sun up the stream, farther and farther
from the Tree. Still he loved and trusted
her. The mist of her presence kept fad
ing await was gone. He whispered
the love names, but she did not answer.
He listened to the love. song; it was for
another-the Sun. He saw her laughing,
coquetting with his rival, and watched
him place the rainbow crown upon her.
He shook his withered arm defiantly at
the Sun; he stretched out the other
appealingly to Laughing Water. He
reached after her in the tempest, striving
to csress her, moaning his sorrow, hoping
that he might be Frustrated at her feet to
die reclaiming her. In vain; she was lost
forever. His great heart broke, and the
Moon found him dying of sorrow.
And to this day, just below MiDnehaha
Falls, where once sang and played beau
tiful Laughing Water, stands the Trees
the arms he stretched out after her folded
away, the faithful lover dead-dead be-
cause he lost her.
And, just 80 far away as the years have
estranged her, you cen see Laughing
Water singing to the Sun the song che
once sang to the Tree, and sometimes
wearing the enchanting rainbow crown.
But the elves have hung cloud of
spray over the water mirror SO that she
cannot behold herself with the rainbow
crown for which she proved faithless to
her real lover, the Tree.-The Current.

THE GENTLE SOUTH WIND.

CHOW, Walter Harrison Ames, you get
right out of that chair this minute, for
that's my seat, and ] want to sit there; I"
and little Miss Rose, who looked more
like snapdragon just then, tried to
shake her sturdy brother, who had very
cool way Of pretending not to hear when
he did not mean to heed, and who sat as
calmly looking out OF the window as if
only fly were attempting TO move him.
Papa was reading in the other window,
but he seemed to know exactly what was
going on; and SO he called the little snap
dragon, though he did not use that name,
to come to him, as he had story to tell
her.
A story was always delight, and SO
the little cLangeable flower, almost a
rose again, went instantly and seated
herself on little bench at his feet.
"This morning, Rose, as I was going
down town." he began, 81 met disa-
greeable north wind and it snapped and
snarled in a very spiteful way. 1t began by
trying to injure the trees and break off
the branches; but the branches we're too
strong for it and wouldn't give way.
Then it rushed at me and blew my coat
as hard as it could and said in gruff
tone as plain as wind could talk, Take
off your coat quick, won't wait But
laughed at the idea of obeying such a
command as that, and SO just buttoned
my coat up as tight as l could, and the
north wind tugged and tugged in vain.
In the afternoon as came home, the
south wind met me, and such sweet man.
ners as it hadi 1t came up and kissed
me first, and then said SO gently as it
played with my hair and petted my
cheek, open your coat, please, open
your coat. opened it right away, every
single button, for I was glad TO get all
the south wind that I could, and it is
doing me good yet. Which is my little
girl, the stormy north wind or the sunny
south?'
"The sunny south, papa" answered
little hose cheerliy, as as she went up to
brother Walter and kissed and patted
him and said, "Please let me have that
chair, Walter DEAR"
Brother Walter didn't say one word,
but he whisked out of che chair in Sec
ond, caught the little south wind up,
olapped her in the chair, gave her two
kisses and scampered off to play. -
