There is something lacking in the at
tractiveness OF Elmwood avenue this
summer The family man with his
stylish turnout notices it. The devout
maiden on her way TO religious services
misses some favorIte adornment but can
not tell what it is. Friends OF Baby
the park ask one another why the ave-
nue. is so lifeless and dull. The answer
Is easy. Between the boulevard and the
car tracks on either side run strips of
earth about four feet wide. Last year
these were freshly sodded and we'll
watered. Ths constant winding OF the
street made them look like huttering
ribbons 10 people riding along the ave
nue.. They presented pitable sight YES

patches like the hair on u NANCY dogs

on one OF our thoroughrares Saturday
night that was only witnessed by "A very
few people; but which testified that al!
the world is akin. A little tot about
five , Jars old was trud ying along the
street swinging a small earthern pitcher
by the handle, evidently bound TO
neighboring grocery store after milk. A
misstep aud the little girl was lying on
the sidewalk with a broken pitcner by
her side. Ia a second the little one was
on her feet, gazing at the ruined bit Of
crockery, while her sobs were pitiful TO
hear. Crying as though her little he art
would break she stood there, while the
passers-by stopped for moment and
then pushed on. A gentleman came out
OF gar store and took in the situation
at a glance. HIS hand sought his trou-
sers pocket. and when it came out II
shining quarter came with IL and was
pressed iLto the hand Of the little one,
wnile kindly voice said come little
one. don't cry. Go get new one and
take IL home To mamma" The little one
looked up. smiles chased the tears away.
aud n sweet little face looked up and
pretty mouth was uplifted to give he
generous donor q kiss He saw the mo-
ton, bent down and kissed the upturned
face, and as he turned away a tear was
seen to glisten in his eye. Sue had only
"A Kiss of gratitude To give, but 1t was
given with such u childish naiyette that
IL was irre)lstibe.
