How Ouch boys Play Tag.

Did you ever hear of country
where the boys play tag in their
stocking feet? No? Well, there is
such a country. We can imagine
some Thoughtful little toy thinking
what hard time the mothers must
have darning. II you ever go to
Amsterdam, Holland, and walk
through an open place or one of the
small parks, you will often see heap
OF wooden shoes, and little distance
off a lot of children having merry
game Of tag. You see, wooden shoes
are not made for running. but the
pavements are very clean and smooth,
and the stockings are home knit and
have double soles, SO it is not as hard
on the mothers as one would at first
suppose. You may not think 1t would
he pleasant to wear wooden shoes, or
that their use makes graceful walk
.ers. but still We do not believe that
many Of you would object to being
able to take of your shoes and make
boats Of them, as many little child
rem in Holland do. Canals run every
where. through that country and 1t is
no unusual thing to zee the little

The father of Lolita was gold
miner, her first years was spent in
IA log cabin on the banks of Rabbit
Creek, California. Luck was how
ever, dead against him, and the gold
never came any quantity, at any
rate. His only daughter Lolita was
the petted and spoilt child of the
miners; every one of them she knew,
and they called her the little lady"
One day dancing school was OPP
ened III the camp. Lolita, at this
time about seven years old, quickly
mastered every step that could be
taught her, and soon evinced ca
pacity for music. A theatre had
meanwhile sprung up in this mush-
room township, and the manager,
after great deal of pressure, per-
suaded Lotta's mother to allow her
to'appear. The night came, and
the child made her debut in this log
theatre, crowded from end to end
with rough miners. She sang to
them, she danced to them, and
storm of applause is said to have
rung through the building. The
applause took a practical form.
A silver shower of half-dollar
pieces almost overwhelmed the Sit
tie lady" This success made it ev-
ident that Lolita was born actress.
She appeared at st Louis and other
towns, and afterwards in San Fran
cisco, where she studied for while.
Ever since the story has been Of re-
peated success. She is said to be
immensely rich" and some years
ago, as an evidence of her affection
for the Calfornians, she presented
drinking fountain, which cost
some $25, 900, to the city of San
Francisco.

HALFWAY.
The years that steal our youth away
Come drifting on-come drifting on,
Like snowhakes that endure day
And then are gone
Upon the hearth is blazing bright
An open fire--I sit and dream
And think how far into the night
And storm its rudy glow doth stream.
Aud then, within my heart, tonight
The flame of youth flares up once more,
To shed CLEAN Of pickering light
Through all the dark that lies before.
And all the lost come back once more
And all the dead things live again,
And.footsteps echo on the floor
And faces press against the pare
And now try 80 hard TO catch
A whisper from the forms that pass,
To touch the hand that lits the latch
The lips that tremble on the glass.
And seek TO check the rising tears
For sweet dead Joys and loved ones gone,
For memories that like the years
Come drifting on come drifting on.
My fire burns low, but through the gloom
Comes stealing in the gray of dawn,
The shadows scurry from the room
Till all are gone.
And morn is here-the storm Is past,
The room is filled with iuddy day;
But on my head is drifting fast
The snow that never melts away.
