orphan did not in the least excite the
sparicls sympathy-thati is. at first. A
box was procured for the newcomer
and its quarters comfortably fixed up.
DIR. Lions little boy told his father that
Beauty was disposed to be unfriendly
toward "Chicly."
That is because Beauty has not
been introduced said the childs
father.
Forthwith the doctor had the chick
brought out, and Beauty came nOsing
around as if to find out how good
''chiclzy' might be On the half shell.
The doctor gave the dog gentle slap,
and after awhile Beauty came to re-
gard the feathered newcomer as one of
the family. BY and by the dog would
lie down at the door or the chickens
box ana watch for its coming and at
tempt to play gently with it.
The chick at first did not like these
attentions, but soon seemed to be re-
sponsive. At last it was quite evident
chat Beauty had grown to be very fond
Of the bird. She would lick 1t all over,
Just as if it We're pup. and fondle it
as If it were one of its own kind.
The chicken was missed one night. It
was found at last in the cellar with
Beauty. The dog was coilcd. and there
was the chicken cuddling close up to
its WARM body and quite contented.
The spaniel Lad taken it in its mouth
and carried it downstairs.
It was quite a common thing for
Beauty to catch up the chicken in her
mouth ard carry it off to a corner. The
chicken had a great objection to this
commemorative business. 1t could
stand anything but that, even the lick
ing. Its attire and its temper used to
get very much ruffied. But Beauty
would stand no nonsense. She in her
superior wisdom knew what was best
for the young and inexperienced thing
committed to her care.
Beauty was extremely solicitous for
its welfare. She was very jealous of
any outside interference and fearful
of what strangers might do. When
the butcher. the groceryman or other
tTadcsmcn came into the basement
the spaniel would bark furiously and
make rush for the chicken. over
which it stood guard until the sus-
pecteG danger had passed.
Any one of the family might fondle
she chicken. of course. but no stranger
dared do it or Beauty would want to
know the reason why. If the chicken
were too near the door when the bell
rang Beauty would grasp the bird in
its mouth and carry it off to a place of
safety.
But. alas! Notwithstanding all the
motherly care of Beauty and the fact
that there was Il doctor in the house
the chicken died the other day. Beauty
was gricf-stricllen and refused to be
comfortcd. She would sniff around
the little chicken house and gaze here
and there expecting her protege and
lost her appetite. | saw the spaniel
a few days ago and if ever dog had
a nournful feeling plainly expressed
Beauty certainly had.

A WONDERFUL STORY.
Realization of Druggist Who Missed II
Calling.

Realization of a Druggist Who Missed His
Calling.
The reformed druggist was talking
to the man with the cracked lip. Now
collodion, The said, ''collodion is just
the thing to put on that lip of yours
1t is great thing to promote the
growth of new skin. Just brush that
lip with collodion and it will be we'll
in no time. But" he continued, warn
ingly, you want to be very careful
One of the worst accidents I ever saw
was the direct result of collodion."
The man with the cracked lip shiv-
cred apprehensively, How was that?"
he asked
The reformed druggist lighted a
fresh cigar and stuck his feet upon the
radiator. Yes, he continued, reflect
lively, that was d bad accident and the
worst of the whole thing was that l
was responsible for it in way
But what was it?" insisted the man
with the cracked lip.
1t was just like this: One day be-
fore | reformed, and while l was keep
ing drug store. man came into the
store with the worst pair of lips l ever
saw. Why, that fissure on that lip of
yours wasn't d marker to the gully
that was in his lower lip. | saw in a
minute that he must be suffering a
great deal. He was a great big man
and his teeth were rather protuberant.
asked him if he wanted something
for those lips. and he told me that l
had guessed right. Then | told him
inst what l have been telling you.
explained to him the action of collodion,
and he told me to put some on his lips.
Il got the bottle and picked out a
camels hair brush. Then / painted
those lips in a way that no mans lips
were ever painted before. just daubed
the collodiOn on by the spoonful. Pret-
ty soon | had them all fixed out. and
then the accident occurred. What an
accident that was! Why, the mans
head was just blown clear off his Shout
ders. and instead of getting half dol
lar for my job, was out ten cents for
telcphoning for the ambulance to come
and take him away"
Il don't think | catch the drift of
your remarks," said the man with the
cracked lip. Did | understand you to
say that the mans head was blown off"
You did" said the reformed drug
gist. His head was blown clear from
his shollders.'
But howe" Did he have dynamite
cartridge in his mouth, or something
Of that kind?"
80, no" The reformed druggist
laughed bit. You remember | said
that he had prOtuberant teeth, and
that l also said l put a great deal of
collodion on his lips? Wei. collodion
is made of gun cotton and ether. and
when it got in the sore spot he kinder
brought his teeth together with snap
Some way or other those teeth struck a
spark that set off the gun cotton, and
there was big report and the mans
head was blown into bits"
The man with the chapped lip sat for
moment in silence. Then he said
slowly: Il don't wonder that YOU rot
out of the business. Your proper place

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE DREAMER.

When am sleeping in my bed,
The little people in my head
All sport and frolic. dance and play,
AS they will never 60 by day.
They play at being king and queen,
Or catching fa!ry-folk unseen; -
They act out giant, troll, or gnome,
Or in far Afric's forests roam
They 60 with Sinbad on his trips,
Or take command OF pirate ships
And capture gapeons OF Spain,
Pearl-freighted on the Spanish main.
Yet each one still pretends he's me;
While l am sound asleep, you see;
They play l run and shout and leap
And yet I'm lying fast asleep
They have such jolly lots OF fun,
And see such sights. Yet never one

For those who wish to keep land in
clover only a single year the alsille va
riety is probably best. 1t bears its seed
in the first crop of the second years
growth. When that is cut the plant
dies. But alsike hay is sweeter than
hay from the first crop of common red
clover 1t does not have long tap
roots reaching into the subsoil as red
clover does, but instead network of
roots that run through the soil nearer
the surface, 1t is probably the greater
amount of warmth that alsike clover
roots get early in the season that
makes its hay better than that of red
clover When the soil warns deeper
later in the season the red clover hay
becomes more nutritious.
