BRA I1O.

My dog Bravo is a splendid old fellow.
tell you Four years ago, when papa
went to the State Fair, he brought him to
me. He was puppy then.
He is part Newfoundland and part mas
tiff, and weighs over hundred pounds
Uncle Frank made me just the incest
little wagon, and Uncle Charles made me
a real Leather harness that tit,cd beauti-
fully.
1t is nice 10 have somebody in the fam.
lily that can make wagons and harnesses.
In the winter J have Il sled instead OF
wagon.
Bravo makes nice horse, and think
had rather have him than a real pony
no, l mean had almost rather, for some
times he runs away, especially If he sees
a rabbit
Last week ! was going over to Bennie's
through the woods path, and a rabbit
ran out before him. Bravo saw him, of
course, and wanted to catch him. |
couldn't stop him, so l just clung to the
wagon and let him go.
Oh how he did run! l think if he was
horse he would beat Goldsmith's Maid.
1t was all we'll enough as long as he
kept in the road, but when the rabbit
took to the woods, he followed and the
wagon turned upside down with me un-
der it. The thills broke short off and
away went the dog.
1t didn't hurt me much, but it was
wedged between the tress somewhat and
couldn't get out.
You see Uncle Frank had made 1t deep
and long, 80 that could haul big loads
in it.
Did cry? Well, I guess did, and 1
screamed, too, as loud as ever I could.
Pretty soon Bravo came back, but he
couldn't get me out, although he
scratched and scratched around the
wagon.
Then what do you suppose that dog
did? He just ran home and barked and
barked until he made father come back
with him.
1t isn't many dogs would do that, si-,
and I forgave him for tipping me over.
He was sorry, know, for he has be-
haved famously ever since, and-there he
is now. l guess I'll try it again.-E. H.

IN VAR AND PEACE.

Ruthie and Ray went out and crept
under the umhrella-houses to eat the
sweet, fresh doughnuts which mamma
had given them. How very nice and cool
1t was here, and how good those cakes
tasted!

Ruthie, contentedly, taking a mouthful
from doughnut in each hand.

Just then flock of geese came around
the house.
'"Quack quack2 quack r. they screamed

There was the white goose with the
gray wings, and the gray goose, and the
white one with the gray topknot, and
lots Of yellow baby geese waddling after
them. On they came, straight toward
the umbrella houses.
The old gander was ahead, with his
long neck stretched out, and his red bill
wide open.

said Ray, putting his behind him and tip

IL guess I'll come into your house."
said Ruthie, scrambling for place be-
side him.
"Quack quack quack |" and the geese
stopped before the umbrella house, and
stretched their necks toward it,
The old gander Kissed, reached little
further, and snatched the doughnut
from Ruthie's left hand.
The old goose. with the great, gray
wings, wanted one, too, and SO she
snatched the other.
And the gray goose, and the white one
with the gray topknot, waddled around
behind Ray and seized both of his at
once.
Then Ruthie and Ray began to cry,
the geese began to quack, and together
they made such noise that mamma
came running in haste 10 sec what the

THE YOUNG FOLKS.
MRs. WHIrE,s PARrK.


Queen Marguerite went TO party
As Mabel and went to bed:
She wore . white gown.
And pretty gold crown
On the top Of her dear little head.
She didn't come back till next morning.
And her crown had tipped over her nose.
But her eyes were as bright
n the stars are at night
And her face fresh As . rose.
She laughed as she told us about IT,
And of ell the strange folks who were there:
How she danced on the lawn
With pink and blue fawn,
And Q pumpkin with snaris in it's hair.
How Dash, In q hat trimmed with daisiez.
Played "mumblety peg with wren;
How the man in the moon
Sang Japanese tune,
While an elephant waltzed with hen.
Her dolls played croquet with u rabbit
Whose ears were embroidered with thread.-
Where they'd ravelled in spots
He had tied them ink nots.
Which gave him pain in his head.
Fresh chocolates blossomed on bushes
That had travelled for miles upon miles:
Young grasshoppers pumped
Lemonade they jumped.
And recited a lesson with smiles.
Tho the ice-cream looked very delicious.
And was baked till twas softer than dough
She had only taste.
Because she made haste
When some peacocks screamed out. You mnt
go"
IL was quite an unusual party.
But yet not 10 strange as it seems.
For your friend. Mrs. White.
Has party each night,
At her house in the Country of Dreams.

IRON TIES A FAILURE.
Pennsylvania Railroad AbandOnS the
Experiment for Good.
NO ELASTICITY TOA METALLIC BED
While the Inconvenience and Wear and
Tear Are Prominent.
WHY THEY SEEN TO SUIT In ENGLANI

The PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company has
given up the experiment of substituting
iron railway crossties for the wooden ties
middle division and in the Philadelphia
yards will be taken up and will probably be
sent back to England, whence they came.
The iron ties have been in use almost a
wear, but, owing to their not having the
elasticity necessary for the 'tgiving" of the
rails, they have not proven a success. An
other reason to prevent their general use is
the cost. As long as wooden ties can be
purchased at about one-third the cost of
iron ties, the former will continue to be
used. An iron tie cannot be made to weigh
much less than the present wooden tie, or
about 25O pounds.
WHITE OAK PURCHASES.
The Lake Erie road is now buying hun
dreds of carloads of frst-class white oak
Virginia ties at the rate of about 50 cents
each. The difference in the cost Of the ties
is apparent.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officials say
the iron tie will never come into use until
all the forests are cleared of their timber
and lumber gets scarce. They say the
wooden tie Yields sufficiently to the motion
of the train TO make the riding easy and
comfortable The iron tie will not do this
on a roadbed of broken stone, and makes
the riding hard and unpleasant to the pas
sengerS. In addition to this the rails are so
rigid that the wear and tear on the locomo-
tives and rolling stock is very expensive.
On the English railroads, where the iron ties
are used, the locomotives and cars are con-
structed entirely different from those in this
country.
The life of a wooden tie is from to
u years. Where the ground is well drained
some of the best white oak ties will last
longer than that time.
AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE.
They cost about so cents each, and are made
at nearly every saw mill in the country. 1t
is estimated that, when put down, packed,
lined, ETC., they will cost about 81 10 each.
This includes labor and everything. A
second-class tie will cost about "A cents de-
livered on board the purchasers cars.
The ties mostly in use are those made of
white oak. A number of the railroad COM
panies have tried red oak but these have
not given satisfaction. Although the wood
is better, there is so much acid in it that it
will corrode and wear spike out in about
four years. When the spikes rust they slip
out and very often cause the rails to spread.
This is the cause of a great many railroad
wrecks in this country.
Before it was decided to abandon the iron
tie, it was suggested that a hard rubber
cushion be placed under the rail, resting on
the lie proper. This was thought to be too
expensive and will not be resorted to, proba-
bly,, until it becomes absolutely necessary to
use ties made of iron.
