FOR GIRLS AND BOYS.
THE VOYAGE OF ARABELLA.

Arabeila Atkins was her name.
And Dover was her dwelling.
The things she hated most in life
We're geography and spelling.
She fell asleep with book in her hand,
And dreamed she was on the ocean,
Bobbing about in sight OF land
With curious kind of motion.
The land she saw was the Sandwich isles.
They were made Of home made bread,
With slices of ham laid between
Very good the inhabitants said
Then Arabella Atkins sailed away
Till she came 10 the coast Of Japan,
Where she felt breeze that made her sneeze,
For everyone carried fan.
And ali she saw as she walked the streets
Were Japanese fans and umbrellas.
So she sailed across TO the opposite shore,
And called on the Chinese fellows
The people there ali seemed to be cracked
For China, you know, is fragile
And they all ate rice and hunted mice
In a manner amazingly agile
Arabella Atkins skipped along
On the top of the Chinese wall
Till she came on sign which read: "Pekln."
But she couldn't peek in at all,
For voice she knew, in tones severe,
Said: Bound the state of Maine"
No longer in China, poor Arabella woke,
And sighed: "Im at home again"

The DiscoverY of America.

Three hundred and pinety-niue years
ago this week, Christopher Columbus
came in sight Of the Western Henri
sphere. TO be exact, it was three hun
dred and ninety nine ears the I4th day
of the present month. Familiar as it is
to every child at school, and commop-
place as the mention of it seems now to
be, it is really one of those wonderful
events in the history of our world which
seem like romance when we come to
learn the particulars of the story. Dying
in poverty and neglect, tho Genoese
stepped from a troubled life to place
among immortal names. If his spirit is
cognizant of what takes place on earth,
il must be proud to know that all the
great nations will soon send their repre-
sentatives to the land he discovered, to
do honor to his achievements. To that
celebration, the Worlds Fair at Chic

Tested His Life Out,

The Berlin papers are amusing
themselves with saddling a good
story on a popular Berlin physician
who died there recently. A number
OF his medical colleagues assembled in
his bedroom to consult about his
case, which was altogether hopeless, a
fact OF which the dying man was
thoroughly aware. ~. =.
Suddenly the doctors, who were
gravely whispering together were
startled by a, boisterous peal of
laughter from the patient. Being
asked the cause of his hilarity, he
gasped forth
Funny -story-occurred
battlefield = Waterloo - French =
Grenadier = lying bleeding many
wounds = feeling death near-he-
counted = wounds proudly said, L.
Parbleu- takes eight nglishmen-
kill one -Napoleon's - Grenadiers. ,
Well" continued the dying doctor,
his voice growing still more feeble with
his effort. II have DISCRIMINATION
and I see-takes eight OF my medical
friends--to-kill me-
And, still laughing, he turned on his
side and passed away.

READY TO SHOUT "sToP THIEF"
A Smart Auctioneer Discovers That
the Man on the Block May Blum

A Smart Auctioneer Discovers That
the Man on the Block May Blum
der.
An auction sale was in lively pro-
gress in an uptown Broadway store
the other day. The goods were a mis-
cellaneous lot of household stuff, and
were being knocked down at a lively
rate. 1t was necessary to clear the
whole lot out at any cost, and so a
valuable article was generally sand
wiched in between two undesirable
ones, and thelot bid for in the lump.
The incongruous combinations that
the auctioneer made, such as a pic.
ture, a smoothing-iron and watering,
or hat-rack with tooth brush and
a blanket, caused considerable merri-
ment among a crowd not very hard
to please, and the many facetious re-
marks OF the glib salesman, though
stale enough from long usage,
were accepted as pure wit and answer
ed accordingly.
When the sale was over, the auc-
tioneer, who had fairly been carried
away by the fuency OF his own tongue
and the SUCCESS OF the affair, stepped
down from the rostrum and prepared
to put on his hat and coat. The
crowd had fingered to pick out the
goods each had bought and see to the
transfer, when suddenly the auction
eer exclaimed: "I've been robbed!
Who took my hat, coat and cane? Of
ficer," he shouted to the policeman
who had stood at the door to preserve
order, "don't let any man out till I
reach you'll" Then he pushed his way
to the door and scruntized eagerly
each man as he came out. Presently
he made a grab at one young fellow,
who was gayly balancing the auction
GERS silver-handled cane in his hand.
s1've caught you, my fly rogue!" he
yelled; 'give me that cane and come
along with this officer" and he made
grab for the stick.
The youth, pretty bold for a detect
ed thief, aimed blow at the auction
eer and savagely proclaimed his
honesty and his intention to have re-
venge. The policeman collared him,
however, and straightway the auction
eer spied a man walking off with his
coat. Another arrest and another
indignant protest. A victim with the
hat quickly followed, and the onlook-
ers began to get warmly interested.
"You put that hat up for auction
yourself" yelled the last man, "and
bought it along with lamp and a
mucilage pot"
II bid on this coat and had it hand
ed to me-" shouted the older, "with a
scrubbing-brush and bedstead."
''You knocked this cane down to me
for 50, along with broken cradle and
a bonnet" yelled the third, land I'll
knock you down with it, you-,"
and he made dash for the puzzled
auctioneer.
Bystanders interfered here, and the
absent-minded salesman was with
some difficulty convinced that he had
really put up and knocked down his
own clothing in the excitement Of the
sale.-N. Y. Tribune.
