The UNGRATEFUL FOX.
Story of an Ancient Feud Between the
Birds and the Animals.

Story OF an Ancient Feud Between the
Birds and the Animals.
It esas a beautiful spot in which to
wander; the park with its long
stretches Of velvety trf. ard avenues
Of stately trees, and the dim forest
carpeted with hundreds Of fragrant
flowers. and murnuring with softest
zephyrs for il was always summer IN
the long ago. Very few human beings
ever passed through the park or forest:
bat they had many inhabitants, for all
the animals and birds that are found
in our country retreats now made their
peaceful and undisturbed homes there.
They did not dwell all together
The forest belonged to the birds. and
the paris 70 the animals; and neither
ever s0ught the others domain. for the
pheasant. who was the head = the
birds. and the fox. who ruled over the
animals. hated each other. One day
however. a young and foolish fox
roaming about, strayed on and on until
he found himself in the forest. Try
ing To make his way back to his home
he became caught in holly bush. and
there stood lamenting piteously. Very
soon q pretty, soft-cyed pigeon flew
along. AS soon as she caught sight OF
the captive fox she turned to fly away,
in fear; but the prisoner began to
plead so for help that she stayed her
flight and, venturing close mp to him,
asked If she coul6 help him
ooh, fairest bird. if You would but
release me from these cruel brambles
shall be ever grateful, cried the little
fox.
And the little pigeon, touched by his
distress, overcame her fears. and going
up to him, tugged SO vigorously at the
brambles with her bealI that in a mo-
ment or two the fox was freed. JOY
fully he ran off, AID soon found him
self in his own domain His friends
had begun to wonder at his absence,
and inquired where he had been. Then.
mounting the root of tree, the fox
babe them all gather round him while
he told them his adventure. When he
had concluded, all the animals declared
that ne had been nobly treated by an
enemy.
And now, dear friends. let MS show
that we car be generous to our foes as
Well, cried the young fox, who enjoyed
the dignity Of his position on the tree

sence make a decree that any inhab-
liant Of the forest, whoever he may be, /
shall not be treated as prisoner Of
war, but honorably conducted into

Time went on, the old fox died. and .
the young one became ruler of the
park; but the grandeur Of his position
made him proud and overbearing. One
day, when a great storm had been /
raging in the park and forest, the

A DRESDEN LUNCHEON.
It Is An the Vogue for Springtime
Entertainments
A Delightful Combination OF the Dainty
with the Elegant-Every Dish. Cup or

inc Dresden China.

A very dainty and fowery style Of
luncheon is the vogue for springtime
entertainments, and into its scheme
enter all the features. each and every
one, of the pretty table and its setting
forth. This is known as the Dresden
luncheon.
First Of all it is imperative that the
menu be as simple and limited as good
taste win allow.
Five courses, or SIX. including cof-
fee. are now considered sufficient for
the most elegant and formal luncheon
party a hostess bears in mind that it
is supposedly a slight midday meal
that she is serving to guests who
have breal1fasted late and whose din
ner in the evening will be more or less
elaborate and substantial
Bouillon. game, an entree. a salad,
dessert and coffee. is the accepted
menu.
With this most sensible innovation
of simplicity care is taken that the APP
pointments Of service and table deco
ration are as light and dainty as the re-
past. That they are very handsome
aud exquisite in detail does not mean
that the effect of simplicity is not Sc
cured in perfection
The Dresden luncheon Is considered
TO combine the dainty with the ele-
giant more delightfully."- than any other
design of artistic entertainments yet
seen. The keynote is the blending
everywhere upon the table Of the del.
icate Dresden china coIors, blue, pink,
yellow and violet
The fine flowers seen upon the royal
china are scattered in embroidery over

by transition as sudden as that
accomplished by the eva witch in a

within il day his fortune and was left
destitute of means as to have for

More than this. the fortunes of his
children were involved in this finan-
rIal less. carrying down in the crash
his ntural allies. The amount of
money lost by the Grant family was
very great, being upwards of 50 .OOO.-

collapsed on the 9th of May. 1881. few
people in the country realized what
that failure meant for Gen Grant
He had been tempted to make an in

Ward. He was one of the most in
n"rcnt of the victims of that failure
His greatest mistake was in the per-
mission of the use of his name in con-
ncction with the business of the firm.
His special partnership made him
liable for IL very large amount. so
that the failure swept away every dol
lar and asset which he could com

with great generosity toward Gen.

went far in his generosity as to
