FrAnGhY.

A 5-year-old who happened to be present when his auntie's new hat came home the other day was much impress ed by the praise accorded it on all sides. One word, however, puzzled him. Beautiful" and ''sweet'' and "ele- gant' these terms were clear enough, but when it came to 'Frenchy' he was at loss to know what was meant. "What does 'Frenchy' mean, mammal" he asked. "What is 'Frenchy?'" " His mother therefore ex- plained that "Frenchy" meant all the other nice things that had been said about the hat and more too. It was the weight of worldly encomium. "When you wish to say that thing is partie- ularly pretty and graceful and artistic, when you want to give it the very high est praise, she said, "you call it 'Frenchy.'"
 To all of which the 5-year-old listen ed with that intent literalness indica- tive of his species Some days after this, when the arrival of the hat had presumably been forgotten by every one, the 5year-old, with his aunt. at tended divine service at a we'll known ritualistic church for the first time Up- on his return his mother asked him what he thought of it all "Oh, I liked it so muchP' was the answer.

"Some one had blundered, Rode the six hundredi

ASOSC II defy any one to name an Ameri- can poem so inspiriting," retorted the enthusiastic lover of the British poet. MT. Guild, who reports the conversa- tion in his "Chat About Celebrities, i" suggested that there was Holmes poem of "Old Ironsides. ,
 ''Do you know the Hnes?'' was de- manded
 "Oh, yes I acclaimed them more than 30 years ago at school"
 Well, challenge you to recite Old Ironsides, and will recite The Charge of the Light Brigade. and we will abide by the verdict of the company as to which is the more inspiriting."
 ''The Charge" was recited first, and it was done admirably. At it's conclu- sion, after the applause had ceased, MT. Guild began back in "A Metrical Els say" in which the author represented the poem with an introduction and then followed it with the well known verses, beginning:
 Aye, tear her tattered ensign downI
 By the time," he writes, II was half through the first verse saw the face of Commodore Boggs light up and his eye flash. Cash Clay, too, was all attention. The poets lines had their effect. As the declaimer ended with
 ''Nail to the mast her holy flag,
 Set every threadbare sail,
 And give her to the god of storms,
 The lightning and the gale, the brave old commodore brought down his fist on the table, exclaiming, That's so, by JupiterI' and Clay leaped to his feet, shouting, 'Hurrah for the Amer ican hagp "-Youth's Companion.
