JACKS FLOWING.
BY MABELLE p. CLAPP.

out in the field in the sunshiny weather
Jack and the farm boy are blowing to-
gether
The dandelions in bloom by the wall
Twinkle gayly at Jack; and the robins
call
From the apple-tree boughs: Ho, Jack!
Look here!'
While the chipmunks are chatterine
Come Jack, my dear'
But Jack keeps ON with his blowing.
The plow is high, and the dimpled hands
Must reach for the handles, 'twixt which
he stands
The south wind lifts the loose brown
rings,
Meath the sailor hat with it's flying
strings,
And kisses the lips pressed tightly to-
When out in the fields in the sunshiny
weather
Jack lends hand with the blowing.
Up and down the long burrows brown
He manfully trudges, tiny frown
On the smooth broad brow, so earnest is
he
owe has such lots of work to do, Jim,
hasn't we!
If 1 didn't help you, now what would you
do?"
Says jim: ''Master Jack, if it wasn't for
you
I'd never be done with the blowing
The sun grows hot, the lazy breeze
Scarce stirs the boughs of the apple trees.
The soft earth clings to the moist little
hands,
When, at last at the end of furrow, he
stands,
And looks toward home ''My mamma,
guess,
Will be 'fraid 'thout man in the house
unless
l did come home from blowing
Such dirty boy as runs home at last
Such dirty boy but mamma holds him
fast,
And kisses the dimples that come and go
AS he tells of the mornings fun, till 10!
The white lids droop DER tie eyes of
brown,
And in the meadows of slumber town
Jack still goes on with his blowing.

board. But the little girl never
needed these harsh sounds, because
she was always playing upon her
violin: before school and after school
and all the evening she played. Dur
ing the day her brother Rudolph,
who was also violinist, played with
her; and their mother accompanied
them upon the piano. Then the hum
BILE home resounded with charming
music. Every evening, at seven
o'clock, Rudolph took his violin and
went away; for he played second
violin" in the orchestra at the opera
house. He had played there ever
since his father died, three years be-
fore.
One evening, after he had gone,
Frieda said, Rudolph says | am as
good player as he is; and the next
time violinist is wanted in the or
chestra he is going to propose my
name to Herr Ziegler, the director"
There are no girls in the orches-
ira" her mother said.
II know it. But Rudolph's going
to manage it some way or other,
Frieda replied, as she picked up
her violin, and began to play the
opera "Mignon."
While the little violinist was play
ing, her heart and mind flew far
away from her humble home to a
land of sunshine and birds and
flowers. She became possessed OF
hespirit of the drama She imagined
herself to be the girl Mignon, who
seemed to be always singing and
dancing and laughing.
When she had finished playing, she
cried out, I'D give the whole world
to play in the orchestra with Ru-
dolphl"
The mother did not heed Frieda's
wild ejaculation. She merely re.
marked; "How quickly the evening
has passed! It's late, Frieda; we
must go to bed
Frieda went to bed, but she did not
go to sleep. She kept hearing the
music of the opera ringing in hel
ears. She had never seen "Mignon'
produced on the stage. So she lay
awake, trying to picture in her mind
the enchanting scenes, until she
heard her brother returning. Then
she buried Der head in her pillow
and went to sleep.
The mother and Frieda always
breakfasted early. Rudolph was usu-
ally late riser, because of his late
hours; but the next morning he was
the first one up.
"Hurrah, Fritz" he exclaimed
"0ne of the second violinists is sick
Ziegler says he'll try you at rehear-
sal this morning"
"Aren't you fooling9S Frieda called
from her room.

at eleven o'clock" Rudolph replied

ATypewritsen Love Letter.

Fancy the enormity of sending type.
written love letter, crime of which
the nineteenth century lover is often
guilty. One cannot picture even a new
woman caring for such a letter; one
cannot imagine even the most sentiment
tai maiden reading and rereading such
a missive, much less preserving it among
her treasures. Its proper place is the
wastebasket. to which, be sure, it ia
promptly consigned.
And fancy, too, the enormity Of die
tating love letter-or, worse still, the
stenographer train of thought as she
takes down the burning words - and
later the ardor Of the signing swain as
he glances over the blue lettered shees
before he affixes his signature.
And, then, what must be the feelings
of the recipient of this soulful commune
cation? The sweetheart that realizes that
ypewriter-perhaps even fairer than
herself-has had the felicity of hearing
the endearing epithets at first handl
Truly the typewritten love letter is the
very apotheoSiS of fin de steele romance.
Women have ever been the accomplished
letter writers of the world-with here
and there, it may be, a Horace Walpole
so to them must we look for q revival
of the dying art.
Though the old lengthy epistle will
never again be popular, the short letter,
like the short story, may be brought to
perfection and can be made as distinctive
a feature of this age as was the lengthy
discourse in the less hurried days of this
seventeenth century, when letter writing
was regarded as an art, not as burden
some necessity.-New York Advertiser.

A PHILOSOPHERS ATTIC.
Quaint Combination of Greenery and Hen.

| Quaint Combination of Greenery and Hen.
merry Above the City.
One of the queerest places in New
York can be found in what looks, from
the street, to be funny little gable
rooted house perched jauntily on one
| corner of the roof of the Windermere.
| on Fifty seventh street 1t is conserva-
| tory and observatory in one, q. miniature
| roof garden, the den of an attic philos-
| opher. Henry S. Goodale, whose some
what celebrated daughters, Elaine and
Dora, evidently got from him their
poetic strain.
The attic is reached by steep nau-
teal flight of steps leading up through
/ small square hatchway straight into a
wonderful greenery of bloom, a snug
gerry Of comfort, likewise hennery,
consisting of one fine brown Leghorn
fowl and single fluffy, yellow chick,
and dovecot, where there are softly
whirring wings. 1t Is charming bit Of
Arcadia, high above the ceaseless roar
and heartbeat of great city, which
ander its potent spell seems unreal and
evanescent, like the undulating, elliptic
al rings of smoke that float past the
"attic' windows. The attic is all win
dows, except the floor, roof and the sim-
pie matched board dado. The little room
is symphony in green the floor is car
peted with dull green denim the gabled
roof is covered with burlaps of the same
hue; green wicker couch is cushioned
in green yachting cloth; a broad green
snd white striped awning shades the
sunny sides Of the Little house; all the
carelessly strewn Cushions, though Of
varying designs and materials, are Of
the same general hue, and green figured
denim draperies on slender brass rods
hang ready to exclude the whole outside
world if it is desired.
But it is the window gardens that
give the greatest charm to the place.
Long, deep boxes of country earth and
loaln give sustenance to thick, tangled
clumps Of spicy pinks, old fashioned
rose bushes and honeysuckle vines
c]ambe1ing over wire network trellises,
which metaphorically kill two birds
with one stone by literally preserving
the birds-that is, the hen and her
chick-from disaster and upholding the
lacy green drapery of the vines.
CT course the hen is not allowed the
liberty of this garden in the air, though
she keeps avigilant and determined eye
out for opportunities to maraud outside
her own domain, which is quite spacious
enough to keep her hale and hearty,
apparently contented with her lot and
graciously disposed in the matter Of
eggs. Dame Attica Hennica-which is
the hens classical name-evidently be-
longs to a fine old Latin race of fowls,
and her neighbors, the doves, are ON the
most smicable terms. York Press.
