a ship before and didn't know a bob

ways alluded to the vessels hold as the

by the yard, and what he didn't know

TRffy close behind. Sometimes one
and sometimes both of them were
standing on the shirt or tearing at It
with tooth and nail. Then bigger
would break away and lash the trees
with his shirt, in the meantime shrek
ing and frOthing at the mouth.
At last they wore the shirt out and
bigger was free, except for q pair of
nice, warm flannel bracelets. Then
we tried to load him into the boat, but
he clutched the iron stanchiOns on
either side Of the gang-Way and hung
back. He wanted to swim. We hauled
and jerked, while Tahy got behind
and prOdded Bilger with his finger
stumps. This scheme wouldn't work,
so Taffy suddenly grabbed his friend
by the legs and turned him a forward
somersault into the bottom of the
boat. Then we started for the ship.
On the way bigger made a wild break
and got halfway over the side,
but Taffy hauled him back. Then
Tafy laid on his back In the bottom of
the boat and, cIasping bigger around
the middle with both arms, hung
on. But Blger was so stuck on swim
ming that day that he kept striking out
with hands and feet all the way to the
ship.
"On reaching the vessel the swimmer
was hoisted aboard and placed in a cell
to cool off. When sober he was taken
to the mast clad only in his flannel
bracelets. The captain eyed theyoung

Well, what have you to say for

"Bilger blushed all over, but bracing
up he threw off a graceful salute and
said:

sent Bilget forward, where he received
the hearty congratulations Of the entire

days TO be natural For instance. it is
promised that the dahlia is to be very
popular this summer as garniture for hair;
not, however, the dahlia of art, double
and triple, but the plain, fashioned
dahlia Of grandma's flower garden. And
why? Simply because it is so uncommon,
so rarely met with having been pushed
out of existence by the swelling, bUrly,
rotund article Of the art florists. This
simplicity must be not only visible in
what you wear, but also in the arrange
ment of flowers on your MANTLE or fruits
on your table. They must have an air Of
having been picked from the trees.
The last sketch N this article repre-
sents two delightful costumes suitable
for visit to any garden party, outdoor
recreation, or summer entertainment.
The one on the left is a beige eolored
cloth, the stripes being in pale-green
velvet, made in a strikingly original and
artistic style. The hat, an extremely
picturesque composition, is of black tulle
hecked over with natural looking flies.
The other dress is more startling, in
fact quite q sensation in color and ar
rangement. 1t consists of a striped mer-
veilleuX, alternately black and yellow, the
black stripes being dotted over with small
yellow spots. The hat is likewise an
elegant production, fat crown of black
silk gauze with garland Of yellow how-
efs. Now, If you have imagination you'll
get some Of the effect Of this black and
yellow arranged as described. I know

A Rome of Lads.

A number OF boys were skating and
sliding. On a sudden the ice gave way
almost in the middle of the lake and
one little chap fell in. There was no
house near where they could run for
help, no ropes which they could throw
to their struggling companion. The
boys stood on the bank, with pale, sor-
rOwful faces, afraid to try to reach
their friend, in case the ice should give
out and swallow them all up. But one
boy suddenly remembered that al
though you cannot stand board up
right on the ice without its going
through, yet if you lay the same board
fat on the ice it will be quite safe.
Not only that, but he knew that he
could run along the board without fear
Of cracking the ice. It only took him
a moment to remember all that; the
next he spoke to his friends after this
fashion:
81 viii lie down fat on the ice near
the edge; then one Of you must come
to my feet and push me along till you
too can lie down. If you all lie down
in that way and push the boy in front
Of you, we shall make line quite long
enough to reach poor Reuben.
Taking the post of danger himself.
the brave boy was able by his living
rope to reach his friend. He pulled
him out, though he was not one mo-
ment too soon, for he was so exhausted
with his efforts to keep his head above
water that he would soon have sunk.

Bring Your Name with You.

Among the well-known servants of a
Well-knOWn house in Lewiston is one
young woman of native cold country"
wit, who never is at a loss for an ex-
pedient. She attended a call at the
door the other day, where a stranger
presented himself and asked to see the
lady of the house. What name shall
Z say?" "Mr. StiItzenheimer, said
he. BEG pardon, sir, said she.
"StItzenheimer," repeated he. The
girl hesitated at the name, which was
evidently beyond the intricacies Of her
speech, and then, opening the door of
the parlor, said with a laugh: @SteP

he got his breath he proceeded to strip,

Bilger till he got to his shirt, which
he pulled off over his head in the usual

it will be all blue, the next all white,

there is work to be done the order

On the first trip we brought them all
off but two, Bilger and a fireman

whom we nicknamed Taffy for short.
He was a short, thick, dumpy little
fellow, who always wore trousers in

never had the pants altered to fit his
short legs, consequently they looked

the men with crOwbar got pinch
