Little Tommy Didn't Believe in Hiding
 Ills Light Under n BusheI.


 Ills Light Under n BusheI.
 He was very, very little boy, and he had come to school that morning puffed up with pride because he had a new accomplishment. q can d'ess me all myself, now" he said to the teach. CT, and her praise was unstinted.
 ''I am very proud of little boy who can dress himself" she said. "I'm sure he will be great comfort in school, he can do so many things now, and he is so anxious to do them we'll"
 Little Tommy drew a long breath of delight and trudged off to his seat. He never meant to be naughty any more; he was sure he never should be. But alas! school grew tiresome and Tommy fidgety. He forgot his reputa- tion and indulged in several remarlSa- ble antics behind the teachers back; then he was discovered and condemned to exile behind the door.
 Time passed and Tommy was forgot ten, but the committeeman drove up, and while he was alighting, Tommy was remembered. The teacher hast ened behind the door to release him from discovery and disgrace.
 There he stood, with nothing on but his little shirt and his little shoes and stockings. His eyes shone; his round face was smiling and eager. He looked up triumphantly, waiting for approv- al. He had been praised once for a similar deed; why not again?

emOerS, for the air seems chilly.
 We JacksoDs are railroad men from away back, and better engineer than my father never opened throttle or moved wheel He was employed on what was then known as the Pacific Short Line and pulled No IS from Packford to Denver, through a country wildly romantic but thinly settled.
 When No. IS started on her regular trip you could not imagine a prettier train in those days. Cars all new, lamps bright windows polished and the headlight glowing with brilliancv that, as l remember it, was far ahead of your modern electricity.
 The road was just built and men were scarce, so the company practiced economy by letting me run with my father as fireman. It was feather in the cap of boy of fourteen, and I ap- preciated it.

 Sometimes we would dash into a deep cut and run more slowly while dark ness reigned for moment Emerging from this, we crossed a pretty moun- tain stream. The little rivulet came bubbling and rushing down the steep hillside like silver ribbon, growing suddenly wider and falling over precipice in glassy haste on jagged rocks below, where it broke into a bril- liant mass of spray and dazzled the eye with its form and color.

An Apparent Injustice.

Mollie had been to church for the first time, and on her return home her grandmother asked her what she thought of it.

tie the silk tightly around it with the ribbon, and tack pretty rosette bow of the ribbon at the side.
 Suspend each one from ends of the ribbon, cut in different lengths; and fasten them all at the top, under full bow of the ribbon.
 This is a pretty as well as useful ornament, to be hung on the mirror over the dressing table, and the round balls are very convenient for holding the many little stick pins that are now used so generally.

THE DOGS COLD NOSE.

Why the dogs nose is always cold
 I'll tell you, friends, as I've been told Well, years, and years, and years ago How many don't really know
 There came ram on sea and shore; Its like was never seen before
 Or since, It fell unceasing down Till all the world began to drown. But just before the heavy pour
 An old man-his name was Noah Built him an ark, that he might save His family from watery grave;
 And in it, also, he designed
 To shelter two of every kind Of beast Well, friends, when it was dons Sull dark clouds obscured the sun, But Father Noah safe led the way. While after him, in close array, Came all the animals in pairs.
 The leopards, tigers, wolves and bears. The deer, the htppopotamuses,
 The rabbits, squirrels, elks, walruses, The camels, goats and cats and donkeyI The beavers, tall giraffes and monkeys, The rats, the big rhtnoceroses The dromedares and the horses, The sheep, the mice, the kangaroos, Hycnas, elephants, koodoos,
 And hundreds more-'twould take all day, My friends, so many names to say And at the very, very end
 Of the procession, Eoah's good friend, The family dog, with merry din, Helped drive the crowd of creatures in; And then, with ioud eXultant bark, He gayly sprung aboard the ark. Alasl so crowded was the space He could rot find in it place; So, patiently he turned about, Stood halfway in and halfway out, And those extremely heavy showers Descended through nine hundred hours And several more, and at their close Most frozen was his honest nose, And never could it lose again The dampness of that dreadful rain: And this is why-so I've been told We find the dogs nose always cold Margaret Eytinge, in Detroit Free Press
