down over her ears. the ruche forming a

teen inches high. Oh, but it was high!

were not so high as hers and they were

wearing such an immense hat, because
she herself was so big and handsome.

A QUESTION.

Small Curly Head looks up at me
From her wee kingdom on my knee.
Round are her eyes with great surprise,
The rosebud mouth wide open flies,
And then question quickly asks,
While Tabby In the hearths glow basks-
Wise cat.
So round and fat and sleek and gray,
Thus Tabby sleeps the livelong day,
And dreams of scores of straying mice
Caught While they're playing, In trice
And birds with yellow-tuffed breasts,
Chatterlng loud in low-hung nests.
Foolish birds.
Now in the parlor papa prates
OF all the coming candidates;
The points where each ones amss--
And thumps the floor for emphasis
OF politics and all its ills,
The tariff and the labor bills
He talks.
Lol Tabby's dreams change In trice
Another cat has caught the mice!
Another cat the yellow birds!
Chatterlng loud their silly words,
From out the nests that hung so low,
'Tis but in dreams they hang Just So
tCat's dreams).
Lol Tabby's fur flies quickly up;
IT'S hard to take the bitter cup,
She spits she growls, she makes such
noise;
Asks Curly Head. who drops her toys,
Amazed at such seemly tricks:
rs Tabby talking politics,
Like papa?"

Pa, Mr.. Kernel was visited by one of
the most prosperous citizens of that
place. who handed him quarter and a
gold watch inlaid with diamonds. He
had been the Bowery beggar Of ten
years ago, and he said that Kernelr s
quarter, which he now paid back, had
saved him from suicide.
He came back to his boyhood home
After some forty years,
And when he looked upon the scene
His old eyes filled with tears.
Upon the old-time common. where
He'd played with the bat and ball,
There rose into the smoky air
a warehouse grim and tall.
OF all the scenes he once had known
He could not find trace,
Nor could he find among the crowd
One dear, familiar face.
Naught could he find that was not
changed
Abroad, without, within,
Except a day-blll with the words
"Tonight-Great Play-'East Lynne

Change the oil in your lamps quite
often If you use them infrequently. l
don't know why 1t is, but l do know
that 1t is IL fact that when the oil re-

been used in that time it gets to smell

whole house. Constant vigilance is the

treat it to a vigorous rubbing on a
perfectly clean white cloth. They will

Portland few days ago on telegram
sent from this place, and was brought

employed by 8. P. Conroy to sell pack

overcoat belonging to Conroy. Instead
of stopping at Hood River he went on to
Portland and wrote back that he was
going to San Francisco, but that he
would settle up everything as soon as he
was able, provided Conroy would not
make any fuss about it. Conroy, how
ever, swore out warrant for him and
had him brought back. On being ar
raigned before Jnstice Davis yesterday
he acknowledged his guilt and was
sentenced to thirty days in Jail. The
