LlTTLEALICE'S STRATAGEM.

"HERE is a bright little girl over
in Oakland in fact, all the little
girls over there are bright. Her
father thinks that his Alice is
very nice. He has told her sew
eral times that she was sweet. Last
Saturday she went out to candy store
with her mother and she was treated
to ice cream soda, which was so nice
that she determined to scheme for
some more. Sly little puss! She knew
that she could get anything she want
ed from her father Perhaps her
mother Is a mind reader. At any rate
she told Alice that she could not ask
her father to take her to the candy
store that day. "One drink of soda
water was enough"
Now Alice has mind of her own
and she made up her mind to get the
soda water that very night at all haz-
ards. So, when 1t came supper time
and her father was at the table she
waited her chance.
you are so sweet, Alice, could eat
you up" said papa. ia9
Speaking of sweet things" an
swered sly little Alice, they have
nice new, soda water fountain in the
candy store around the corner"
Alice's mother had to laugh and Alice
had the soda and her mother made No.

but large enough for a little girl to

low trees and the covered passage

forth such sounds of mirth and jollity
that the wild deer and the squirrels
and the birds in the forest stop to lis
ten.
Mary often uses broad leaves of the
lily for plates and she has the cutest
little cups to drink from-the little
bowls of the acorns. Climbing vines
that fold the trunks of her two old
trees gently in their loving embrace,
grow gay with colored leaves in the au-
tumn, when the frost comes. The ap-
proach to her house" is over a carpet
of soft, green moss-as fine as velvet to
the touch. The birds have learned not
to be afraid of Mary and her friends.
One day her papa found a bee tree and
he gave Mary all the honey she and her
friends could eat at an "all day party"
For music, as the children dine upon
viands cooked upon Marys little stove,
they have the sound Of the signing for
est and the singing of the creek that
hurries by, all sparkling and foaming.
The air is always perfumed with the
sweet odor of the pine needles and with
the breath of oh, so many wild flowers.
When the wind blows hard the "house"
rocks; but the children are not afraid,
for the roots of the trees are deep in
the ground and they are so strong and
trusty that there can be no reason for
fear
One day when the children were
feasting there was a pattering sound
of little feet at the front" door" The
children listened and waited, just as
still as mice, or "mouses," as Mary
said. Soon soft little nose and two
very bright eyes were in sight. Soon
after the smell of the good things in
the house caused a lovely little baby.
deer to join the doll party which the
girls were having. The deer did not
show any fear when once in "the
house. On the contrary, it was coaxed
easily through the reception room"
into the second room and there it was
given a nice lump of sugar. Now the
little deer often joins the little girls
In their play and seems to enjoy their
sports almost as much as they do. Has
any other little girl a nicer playhouse
than Mary Little has?

surveying the scholars as they entered.

they were seated that YOU are anxious
to receive your diplomas. Mr.. Graham
made them out and / will distribute
them after recess. But for the present
we will grapple with those cube root
examples left over from yesterday"
and she smiled.
The hour and a half before recess
dragged slowly by and when at last
the bell rang the teacher collected the
arithmetic papers and the pupils were
dismissed for the intermission. +
After working few moments at her
desk the teacher stepped into the yard
to watch the scholars at their play.
joe Hawley watched this movement
with intense satisfaction and at last,
.unperceived, he slipped into the school
house from the rear entrance and stole
up to Miss Robins desk
The diplomas had been. rolled and
neatly tied with the class colors, laven-
der and green, and the names were
written lightly in lead pencil on the
end - enable the teacher to determine
to whom the diploma belonged
Joe looked over the pile of diplomas
on the desk and at last took one from
the pile. 1t had Burt Bowmen's name
written across the end, He looked at
1t a moment and then taking a match
from his pocket he struck 1t and
touched 1t to the precious paper It
caught the flame readily and when Joe
left the room there was nothing left of
the certificate except the ashes which
lay on the bottom Of the waste basket
where young, Hawley placed them
In few moments the bell rang and
the seats were again filled with the puz
pills wearing anxious and hopeful faces.

tree, and in the trunk of this tree,
near the ground, is an opening like a
door, through which Mary passes into
the trunk, which is almost entirely hol-
low. Near by stands another very
large tree, also hollow.
Now, when Mary discovered the sec
ond hollow tree she asked her mother
how she could make a covered passage
way between the two trees. Her moth
err sent the hired man out to cut the
hole entirely through the first tree.
Then she told them to make two low
fences, not far apart, extending from
the first to the second tree. Mary went
on her vacation trip to San Francisco
just then. While she was away the
hired man planted ivies by both fences
and laid a roof of wire upon the fences.
The ivies grew very fast, and when
Mary arrived home again she found
that she had a covered way between
her "parlor" and her nursery" as she
calls the interiors of the two trees.

HOW REX WAS SAVED.

ERE is true story. about a
| wonderful dog who saved the life
OF little Rex Allingham Of Fly
Creek, Or. aged years One
Saturday afternoon at the end Of
March,, after little Rex had. been. seen
by his aunt playing in the yard with
his dog, trying to drive the animal
with string, he and the dog were
missed Miss Allingham, the aunt
went out In search of the child, and
followed his track for nearly, two miles.
Then it was lost, and she was COM
PEELED to return home. Z 1t was now
dark, and the weather cold.
A search party of men with lanterns
was at once organized. They followed
the tracks. of the boy and dog along the
trail which leads from the Fly Creek
ranch over the Matoles for some dis
lance. Then the tracks left the trail,
wandering in the woods In every direc-
ton, at one time returning to within
mile of the home ranch, and then
wandering off again.
Until 2 o'clock in the morning this
was kept up, and then the track was
lost so that no one could find it by the
aid of the lanterns. 1t was now so
cold that the searchers had to build a
fire and remain by it till daybreak.
They had lost all hope Of finding the
child alive. The exposure, they felt
sure, must have ended his life
With daylight they resumed their
melancholy search, and after a time
the trail of the boy and the dog was
again found. They followed it now
very carefully, and it was not lost
again. --E
At s, o'clock in the morning the men
saw the dog at little distanceaahead,
and soon they caught sight of a child's
motionless and PROSTATE body curled
beside it. They hardly dared approach,
but presently. they did so. and were
overjoyed to find that the child was lit
tie Rex, and that he was not dead, but
was sleeping profoundly, well en-
veloped in the dogs warm fur.
The little boy must have walked
twelve or fifteen miles, and was thor
oughly exhausted. But for the dog he
must have persisted in the cold.
Two facts are remarkable about the
dogs conduct. He stuck by the child
and did not start for home, as most
dogs would have done. when the child
in his wanderings approached nearest
to it; and he had intelligence enough to
cuddle close to the boy to keep him
warm, and not circle about. as many
dogs. even Of the most devoted kind,
would have done.
Rex was taken home, and with rest
and care recovered from his exposure
and exhaustion. .

To sleep! The sun filled daisies kiss the
hero where he liesi
Or yet, dear little girls Of mine, to toll

Reaped by the scythe of bloody war, with
death and wounds for yield;
To hold the cup to fevered lips; to catch
the parting breath;
To take the message of his love; make

Not great the carnage. Quick prepare the

For they who hold that deadly piece will
victory win to-day.
Without pause the cannoneers spring
to their wonted place,
But not a tint of paleness mars the tan

Boom! Boom!. Now doth the welkin

Prone in the dust some heroes fall the
