THREE FABLES.
The Conscientious Ostrich


Once upon d Time an Ostrich wished Ia
do some Good liz tile world. She was a
Muscular and Weli-fed Bird and she argued
that she could do a great deal of Good in
the World f she tried hard. She had Heard
tie Little Song-Sparrow near the Circus
sing sweet SoI gs, and seen the Weary
Face OF the Jugglers Wife light mp with
JOY at the sound Said the Ostrich, II

But all she could Sing was a Discordant
screech, and when she Stack her Head
into the Door she Scared the Baby. And
they threw Scrap Iron at Her Ia Drive
her Away.
20, How these People Do Appreciate Me-
said the Ostrich, as she Gobbled the Scrap
Iron; and She Felt much Refreshed. On
her Way IioIiFc she Met Hen Mourning
for her Chickens.
''W hat is the Matter?'' said the Ostrich.
You have Stepped on one OF Ny Chick

Safe Distance.
Dear Me- said the Kind Hearted
Ostrich. You should take Iron for your
Complaint. Try some
The Hen did OF Dare to Refuse, 50 she

Her Dead.
Dear Me- said the Ostrich, what
a Mysterious Providence 1t is that is the

And she Went Away 10 do some More
Good in the World.
Then a Man Caught her and Pulled ont
her Feathers, and she Kicked. She said
Let In1 Sol | want to do Good in the
World. That is How | make my Living. >.
And she Kicked the Man on the Knee aud
Made him Swear.
''That is Very Wicked of you,' said the
Ostrich, us she Scampered Off. She Lived
to do Great Deal of Good in the World,
and raised many Crops of Plumes for he

he, at least, once got the worst of it,,
and it is all the more piquant from Tile fact
that he was defeated by a girl.
When the Kaiser, VINO was then Prince
Wi!hehn was about ten years old, he aud
Prince Heinrich spent soule time at Gas

lowed the little princes To play with othcr
children. One day Y, when several OF them
Were gathered together, ii chanced ta:lt a
little French girl was Among ;he nunher,
and the young Germans conceived the
brilliant idea OF making her n representa-
tive of the country they all so cordially
hated
The delightful plan was immediately put
into execution, and the poor child was tied
to tree. Then began a fusilade OF pine
cones, sticks, etc, and whenever an thing
struck her there was cry of Here's FOR
Sedan This went on for a few minutes,
when a little Hungarian girl, Helena Won
D, whc was watching, could bear the
injustice nC longer, and, singing out Prince
Wilhelm as chief offender, She threw her
selfon linn. The attack being unexpected,
he was Completely taken by surprise, and
fell down, whereupon she began to pound
him, crying out at each blow, Here's foI
Sadowal' The Prince was fast getting
the worst or it, for his little adversary was
thoroughly in earnest, when the imperial
tutors, hrlrinP the noise, rushed up and
separated the comba atauts.
After that the Princes were more are
fully watched q nd Wilhelm had no op-
pOrtuHity to get even with the little
champion of justice. Some days after
ward, herring that the Princes " re
leaving, Helena went down TO the gate 10
see them go by. As they pa sscd Wilhelm
spied his foe, and, leaning out ben nj
his tutor he stuck out his tongue.
Helena was the daughter Of titled pa
rents, and later she was married TO /; n
Englishman. When the Kaiser was re-
Gently in London she told this story TO
one Of his gentlemen in waiting, WHO in
turn repeated it to his ma iesty. The
