balloon. She was delighted. 1t was so
bright and shiny, and it went up SO straight,
just like bubble. She played with it a few
minutes, when all of a sudden the string
slipped through her chubby fingers and the
toy fioated out of reach. Her little heart was
broken. The little figure in the white frock
was shaken with uncomfortable sobs. Papa
tried to sooth her. but in vain. At length

ter with good news in it, and you will soon
start on Journey Then you give her %
cents and think what glorious thing it is to
know the future.

The stuffed animals in the Plymouth ex-
hibit are of great interest. The sweet little
boy who asks questions at the rate of n mile

boar You don't look like that, pa 'Of

One of the most popular exhibits is in the
poultry building. 1t is a cage of rabbits
They are great, long cared woody bundles of
stupidity, and are certainly the most utterly
useless of pets, but the children stand in
front of their box delighted One rabbit is
as white as ball of cotton. and the other is
dusky little fellow, as black as the ace of

her glory. Outside her tent hung graphic
representations of incidents in her life

melodious, but it succeeds in drawing
crowds.
You can make 50 cents if YOU can hit the
negro three times. He pokes the top of his
head through hole in a Sheet and you fire
