Instead of answering her question,
Duncan asked another.
"Did Tim come back arter he left this
noon?"
II don't know. He might have come

MARY, wouldn't hev believed it OF

Did you look well? Would you accuse

He laid his hand over his heart. Ken

"No, We go tell the squire"
A step outside, and knock interrupted
him! He went to the door and flung it
wide open.

When the squire's messenger had car.

Operating on q Tiger.

Doctor Haughton, the curator OF the
Dublin Geological Society, discovered
that one Of the tigers was lame. Upon
examining its paw through the bars of
the cage he found that a claw was grow
ing inwards into the ball Of the foot,
causing the poor brute great agony when
ever he tried to walk The doctor deter
mined to cut out the claw.
Five keepers assisted him, three in
front Of the cage and two behind The
tiger was lassoed, and, much against his
will, tied down, the five keepers holding
him firmly with rope. The doctor then
raised the bars, entered the cage and be-
gan operating. But he had forgotten to
guard himself against the tigress in the
cage adjoining She contrived to reach
him with one paw and knocked off his
hat. Tho keepers, seeing this, took
fright and fled, leaving the doctor at the
mercy Of his patient. The tiger jumped
up and prepared to spring, but the doctor
sprang through the raised bars and pulled
them down. Against them the tiger
dashed, gnashing and foaming with great
fury.
The doctor called the keepers together
and reproved them for their cowardice;
then he locked all the doors, put the keys
in his pocket, and said:
Il intend to perform this operation
whatever happens You will fix the
lasso again, but if you let go the rope
this time can escape and you'll be left
with the tiger"
The men behaved bravely the trouble
come claw was successfully removed, and
was worn as scarfpin by the doctor.
From that time. whenever the tiger
heard its friends footstep it would throw
itself on its back. purr, roll about to at
tract attention, and never he satisfied till
he recognized it.

Circus Children.

The scenes in the dressing room OF
circus are both novel and picturesque.
The huge tent is divided, first into two
main apartments. One is the green room,
0s it were, where the ring horses are kept
ready for the riders.
Here the properties are handed out,
and the matron Of the wardrobe spreads
out the glitteriug covers for the horses
and other paraphernalia that help so
largely to make the circus performance q
spectacle Of dazzling beauty.
The other portion Of this same tent is
divided up by strips Of canvas stretched
from one Of the main poles to the side
walls, forming series of V-shaped rooms,
one Of which is devoted to the men, an
other to the women, aud q third to the
ballet girls.
A little post in the center Of each, with
looking glass not larger than one's hand
serves as a common dressing table. where
the paint and powder and other finishing
touches of the make up" are applied.
Tho clothes are thrown carelessly upon
the tops Of trunks, which stand in long
rows against the canvas walls, or are
pinned directly to the canvas itself.
The child is dressed for the ring. 1t
comes to the edge of the canvas wall,
pokes its little head through, kisses its
mother goodbye and away it goes into
the ring upon a galloping horse or around
the hippodrome track at a breakneck
speed upon one of the ponies.

again, then pstted on the head and trun.

THE COMING MAN.

A pair Of very chubby legs,
Encased In scarlet hose;
a pair Of little chubby boots,
With rather doubtful toes;
A little Kilt. a little coat,
Cut as mother can
And low before Us stands in state
The futures coming man.
His eyes perchsnce. will read the stars.
And search their uukown ways;
Perchanco the human heart and soul
VIII open to their gaze;
perchance their keen aud flashing glance
viii be a nations light
Those eyes that now are wistful bent
On some big fellows kite.
Those hands-those little busy hands
So sticky, small and brown:
Those hands whose only mission seems
To pull all order down
Who knows what hidden strength may DO
Hidden within their clasp.
Though now tits but tafry stick
In sturdy hold they grasp.
All. blessings on those little hands, y
Whose work is yet undone },
And blessings on those little fee: I
Whose race is yet unrun!
And blessings on the little brain \,
That has not learned to plan!
Whate'er the future holds In store.
God bless the coming man!

In that time the "slotter" made complaints

indiscreetness. A director of the company
got on this car late one night with his wife,
and not having his pass, paid two fares.
The conductor failed to ring them up and
few minutes later, speaking to policeman,

the car, showed hin a handful of nickels

The director said nothing. but did a
