Our Yummp 2enple.
MILLY.

A poem suggested by the New York
Tribune Fresh Air Children:
Yes: Tim, who sells papers, is hearty.
And Maggie knows never pain:
But Milly there seems like flower
All beaten and bruised by the rain.
You see. sir, the roses ana dimples
Have gone from each poor little knee;
Just keep red rose in the cellar
You know what the flower will be!
She dreams every night of the country,
OF singing birds, flowers and bees,
Though she never has seen rose growing,
Nor the nest of bird in the trees.
And she laughs quite aloud in her pleasure.
And claps her soft hands with delight
she stays all day long in this attic,
But lives in the country all night.
she has read and has thought, till her fancy
Has built a sweet world of her own,
Away from the rank smelling alley
And the tall. gloomy buildings of stone
Almost she can smell the sweet clover
And hide in the tents of new hay,
OR Climb to the boughs where the cherries
Are hiding their red cheeks away
To think of the velvety meadows
Lying unused in the sun,
To think of the acres of daisies
housekeeping their blooms, one by one;
Yet never patch where my Milly
May tumble and play the day long,
Her cheeks growing red, with the olovers,
And her languid foot nimble and strong!
The sleek cattle rove in the pastures,
The goats have the hilsides to-day;
The lambs stand knee deep in the grasses.
With Gods leave to live and to pay
They bre athe the sweet health of the mount
aims,
Nor lift their dull eyes in prayer;
While children like Milly are dying
For want of the sunshine and air.
Oh, you who dwell out of this Babel.
In country homes peaceful and far:
1t may be, little grts longing
Will travel and reach where you arel
1t may be cool doors will swing open
And tender hands stroke her white facet
Just hear her laugh out in her sleeping;
She's dreaming of just such place.

A YOUNG TENANT.

"Oh, yes, have all kinds Of tenants"
said kind-faced old gentleman; but the
one that I like the best is child not
more than ten years of age. A few years
ago got a chance to buy piece OF land
over on the west side, and did SO. l no.
ticed that there was an old coop OF a
house on it, but paid no attention to it..
After q while, man came to me and
wanted to know if would rent it to
him.
s. What do you want it for? says l.
"' To live in he replied.
I" WE'LL I said, you can have it. Pay
me what you think it is worth to YOU
"The first month he brought two dol
lars; and the second month a little boy,
who said he was the mans son, came
with three dollars. After that I saw the
man once in while; but in the course OF
time the boy paid the rent regularly,
sometimes two dollars and sometimes
three. One day 1 asked the boy what
had become of his father.
"' He's dead, SIR was the reply.
90 Is that sol? said /. How long
since?'
"More'n year, he answered.
81 took his money; but made up my
mind that L would go over and investl-
gate, and the next day drove over there.
The old shed looked quite decent l
knocked at the door, and a little girl let
me in. / asked for her mother. She
said she didn't have any.
"sWhere is she?' said I.
"We don't know, sir. She went away
cfter my father died, and we've never
seer her since
"Just then little girl about three years
old came in, and learned that these
three children had been keeping house
together for year and half, the boy
supporting his two little sisters by black
ing boots and selling newspapers, and
the elder girl managing the house and
taking care of the baby. Well, | just had
my daughter call on them, and we keep
an eye on them now. thought L
wouldn't disturb them while they are
getting along. The next time the boy
came with the rent talked with him a
little, and then / said:
"My boy, you're brick. You keep
on as you have begun, and you will never
be sorry. Keen your little sisters to-
gether, and pever leave 6hem. Now look
at this.
81 showed him ledger in which l
had entered up all the money he had
paid me for rent, and told him that it
was all his with interest. You keep
right on, says I, and I'll be your bank
or; and when this amounts to little
more, I'll see that you get house some
where of your own That's the kind of
a tenant to have."-ChicagO Herald.

"BOOh! boon! Ana WHAT you Sot tnero!

and make weather guess. He now
turned and asked again:

Lumpie picked bright nasturtium

table loaded with the usual delicacies.
The others followed. AT the head a
figure Of Jupiter presided, and at q sig

to make an address of welcome phono-
