THE BIRD AND THE POCKET.

A little bird went to and fro,
Once IN the nesting sepson,
And sought for shelter high and low,
Until. for some queer reason,
She t1ew into Rranury,
Where. on nril suspended,
The farmers coat she chanc',d to sec,
And there her search was ended.
The granary was in loft,
Where not q creature met her;
The coat had holows deep and soft
Could any tn ng be better?
And wherc II hung, how safe IL was,
without breeze to rock Il
Como little busy eak aud claws,
Build quick inside tho pocketl
Three speckled eggs soon warmly lay
Beneath the happy sitter;
Three little hirds-oh. tov lone day
Began to chirp and twitter.
Until-uh, can you guess tho tale?--
The farmer came one morning,
And took bis coat down from the nail
without wora of warning!
Poor little frightened mothcrl'ngi
Up from her nest she Il ittercd,
And stra ghtway every gap nI thing
Its wide.mouthed terror ered.
The coed man started back aghast;
But merry was his wonder
When In the pocket he at last
Found such unl0oked.for plundeE
He put the COAT back carefully:
'I guess have another;
So don't you be afraid of me.
You bright.eyed little mother.
Iknow just how you feel, poor thing,
For have youngsters, bless you!
There-stop your foolish f1ut;ering-
Nobody shall distress you."
Then mcrrily he ran away
To tell his vi lfc about it,
How in his coat the nesting lay,
And he must do without It.
She laughed. and said she thought he could
And SO, all unmolested,
The mcther-bird G and her brood
Safe in the pocket rested,
Till all tho little wIcg, were set
In pro = hving feHJher,
And then here was nest to let

The Romance Of an Old Coat Picked Up
by Ono Of Them.
A little off Center avenue, on Hazel
street, stands the rag shop of an old
Pole. tits an unpretentious brick build
ing, to which coat of light green paint
has been applied. In the interior are
stacks npon stacks of assorted rags.
The owner was not at home when the
reporter called, but his presence was
not necessary to an unraveling of the
mystery which surrounds the business,
as his wife was rs we'll up in it as she
appeared to be in the rearing of half a
dozen children who clustered round her
knees.
1--WE have many girls working for
u.s." she said. Their scarcity may be
known by the fact that we had to adj
vertisc for some. The work they have
to perform is not laborious. As soon as
the dozen men we have gathering the
rags return to the shop, their harvest is
given into the hands of man to in
spect. All of the rags which are soiled
or supposed to be infectious are taken
out by him. These he thoroughly
cleanses by putting through a machine
used for that purpose.
1.-The clean ones are put directly into
the hands of the girls. As they are
paid by the hundred weight, it is but q
short time until they are assorted.
Barrels are used for this work. Into
one is thrown the white fabric; into an
other, the colored. and SO on. Pieces
of silk are separated from cotton and
| wool.
"When sufficient amount Of each
has been sorted to form sack say of
five hundred pounds, they are thrown
! into it, bound and sent away. As we
must deal through middlemen, they do
| not reach the factory in which they are
converted into paper ut once. The
middleman gives them an additional
examination, rectifying in doing this
any negligence which may have been
practiced by those who first handled
them"

porter.

ply themselves to it. Many of them
make as high as eight dollars week.
The indolent makes less, and retire
from the business in consequence.

to make some mince turnovers the next
day for the ''fort party" as the boys
called it.
The night before New Years was q
bright, moonlight night, and three par
ents consented to let the boys 60 out
very late at n ght on their good errand.
The three boys started out with
their arms full of strange
looking tn ngs, and Frank Payne
had q lantern in one pocket.
Once inside the fort, which was a large
one. and nicely built, the lantern was
lighted, then board was set up with
short log at each end. A pretty tea set
was first nicely arranged. then lettuce
leaves were put all around it on which
we're placed cookies, doughnut,, turn
overs. cakes, candy, peanuts and biscuits;
at another end Of the table were three
pairs of mittens, two caps and hood.
Then to crown all there was quite pile
of books; picture books, fairy tales and
story books.
The boys were sorry thy could not
be near when the poor Nibley children
went to their fort in the morning, but
they were content to know there would
be great pleasure instead of sorrow and
d sapl o ntment to their l,ttle friends.
When the three Nible bounced out
on the morning of New Years Day to
get warm with play and exercise, jed,
the Oldest boy, entered the snow fort
first, then stood stock still, mouth and
eyes wide open. Phil followed next and
stared as silently as led. Then little
SIS went jumping in, and all tn ee stood
for q moment as If turned to stone.
Then Sis scr AIMED out:
''Oh, It's the fairies; they've been!"
And Phil cried out.
"Oh. It's Santa Claus; he's been!'
And Jed said, with his voice an
choked up:
''lt's some OF those blessed fellera
from mp the road; they've been. and NO
mistake"
The parents came out to see, and euch
q rejoicing, and such feast, the Nib.

handed a note to Reuby Crane, directed
to .'Reuby, Frand, and Dicky." Il
