her mother as she was tying on her hat.
"Good-bv mamma" said Susie, as she went
ont OF the door, 1--WE won't be gone long"
Susie had not gone far when she heard a
thump in the carriage and there was Max with
Amelia James arm in his mouth, her dress all
torn and his own dress split down the back

Susie: .yot1 bad dog" she said, as she took him

Naughty Max.

In the big city OF New York there lived a
little girl, whose name was Dorothy Arnold.
She had sunny brown curls and a pretty
oimpled face. She lived with her papa and
mamma and her papa's oldest sister, Aunt
Alice. One day when she was playing with
her doll, Geraldine, she saw naughty Max, her
pet dog. frisking around and stopping to look
at her, as if TO say, "Come, little mistress,
leave that stupid doll and have a frolic with
me-" "No, no, naughty Maxy, will not go
out to play with you, for you have been a
naughty dog and tore my poor little dolly so
that Aunt Alice had 10 glue her arm and sew
her up so the sewdust would not come out
And must make ner night cap and gown
and put her TO bed so the glue will dry. will
never let you play with my dolly again, you

let the glue get dry.

"Now, Max, you stop your whining" said
Susie Grey to her pup. 'T'll soon have you all
dressed and then Ill put you and Amelia Jane
in the doll-carriage and then wen go to visit
Aunt Mary"
Amelia Jane was her doll. Susie had al
ready dressed her in her red dress and put on
her green SILK bonnet, and now she was trying
to dress Max In an old white dress of Amelia
James, but Max did not like to be dressed, as il
was new to him.
Now you are oil dressed said Susie as she
buttoned the last button; "now lie still like a
good doggie while get the Carriage"

Max to lie side by side; SO Susie put Max in

Celestines face flushed with shame.
Rosella had been making the blue satin
pincushion for her all the time she had
been talking so unkiudly of her little
friend! In her distress she ran and told
her mother all about it.
"Well. my dear" said her mother kind
ly, 'let this be a lesson to you in
the future. Never be hasty in form
ing an opinion upon the conduct
of others; think as kindly as you can of
all your playmates, and never say anything
mean about any one, which is a sad fault
in a woman"
Celeste thought over her mothers words,
and since that day she has been gentler
and more amiable girl, while she and
Rosella are fast friends.

stand still, while she slipped carefully up
to a beautiful wild rosebush, on one OF
whose lovely blooms daintily poised a
brilliant swallow-taiied butterfly.
But the hearing OF this beauty seemed
equal TO the sight of Argus; for before
Flora could speak ne had spread his gaudy
wings and flew away to find new fields OF
honeyed sweetness.
"Come, Carlo; it was through no fault OF
yours that we failed, but l am sure that

cause has movements are so light and airy
and his beauty so delicate.
Just then Flora gave a terrific shrek
and nearly jumped over Carlo. In her
rapturous admiration of the butterfly she
had not looked before her, and had nearly

Naughty Max.

The little girls name in the picture is
Helen and the doggie's name is Max
Helen lives out in the country and has
kind papa and mamma and is very much
petted by them as she is the only child.
Helen is just 5 years old, but her
mamma is never afraid when Max, her
little pet, is with her.
On her fifth birthday her aunty in New
York sent her a lovely doll with a pretty
red dress and hat of the latest style, and
trunk full of whole wardrobe for Miss
dollie. She was delighted with it and
called the doll Violet" her favorite name
for anything she loves. She played With
1t all the next day, and when her mamma
called her and told her that Lucy, friend
OF hers, was there. she left Violet lying
on the bench near Max and ran to meet
her little friend.
Now, Max was jealous of Violet, and he
thought to himself: ''This is good
chance for me to put her out of the way"
So he picked her up by the pretty red dress
and shook her as hard as he could. He
tore her dress all 10 pieces and lost her
pretty white slippers, then left her living
on the ground with her nose broken.
In about twenty minutes Helen and
Lucy came out to see the doll and you may
imagine the poor little mammals distress
at seeing that Violet had been used so
badly. AT first she could do nothing but cry,
until her mamma came out and promised
her another dollie, and that comforted her.
Max was lying down little way off in
the grass, but his young mistress picked
up poor Violet and went over to him and
gave him a lecture, which l am sure he
understood, for he dropped his ears and
looked as If he felt verv sorry. You see
Helen in the picture just scolding Max.
She now has another doll and is very
careful not TO leave it alone with Max,
and 1 do not think he feels so jealous as
he did. At least he does no; seem TO.

What Max Did.

This is picture OF little girl, her dog and
her doll. The little girl had a nice doll given
to her on her birthday, which was in the
month of June. One day she was playing with
her doll in the parlor and having good time.
errand. She laid her doll, which she called
Alice, on chair and ran to her mother. The
day was hot so Max, the dog, saw all the doors
mistress had been playing. He thought he
would have good time too, so he seized the
doll and commenced to tear 1t up. His mis-
tress soon came home and ran TO get her doll
and put it away. As she stepped into the
room there was her doll all toru to pieces.
After all the fun Max got the worst of it, He
was shut up and not allowed to play with his
mistress again for week. Yours truly,

everything he could find. Pretty soon Miles
little friend, Mabel, came for her to go straw
berrying with her. Millie at once threw Susan,
the doll, on the floor and was off with Mabel.
"Good-by, mamma she sang, as she went
down the walk 'I win bring lots of straw
berries home for you"
At half-past the two little girls came back.
= They were very happy with the amount of
berries they had, and were laughing and talk
ing gayly; but Miles countenance fell when
Max came in with her Susan in his mouth.
Millie knew at once that if she had put the
doll away Max would not have torn it up.
Millie learned lesson that she did not for

Naughty Max.

One day it was raining so that Carrie could
not go to school.
She played all the forenoon with her dog and
doll. The dogs name was Max; the dolls
name was Clara. Every morning Carrie used
to wash Max with Pears soap and hot water.
Max did not like his treatment very we'll
But Carrie did it so much that it made him
mad, so one morning Max said to himself, al
will pay her; will tear her doll into rags"
While Carrie was sleeping that morning,
Max went to the dolls cradle and grabbed it
and began to tear it when Carrie woke up and
heard her doll crying for her. She ran and got
the doll from the dog, and then gave the dog a
good scolding. Max never touched doll after
that great scolding. JAMES L. HARRIS.

Spring time is here again,

The pansy will wake soon,
And the sun shines warm and bright.
