LITTLE MISSIE
 GOES A-FISHING,
BY EVA A. JONES.

BY EVA A. JONES.
 Missie was a little girl who lived down South on plantation.
 Missiles joy. knew no bounds when one morning she found herself one in a fishing party, and when given a line and pin-hook she felt quite capable of catching all the fish in the river.
 But when the hook went down and up. down and up without any fish, and all around the lines were jerking with the little fellows, her pride be- gan to. fall.
 Missile looked up about her. Her father, mother, aunts and uncles were all walking away with long lines of fish to the campfire.
 "Oh, dear; what shall do?" thought Missie. Here I am without one. Sup posing I am a little girl; why shouldn't I catch fish the same as mamma or Un- cle John?" Down vert the hook and up it came; no fish. Missiles heart sank very low. The tears came trick ling down her cheeks. Hope had fled.
 What de mattah VIC dis chile?' said the black nurse at her side. Bin a fishen yer all dis yer mornin' an not a single fish. Po'r chile"
 'Pray de Lawd, honey. He alias helps de chilluns out in times ob trou- ble"
 "All right" said Missie very solemn. "rIl try" So again she threw the hook over into the sparkling river; she did not see it, though. She did not even see the little fishes splash up with both eyes closed.
 Then the eyes came apart just a lit tie at first to make sure. And then. oh. my, such joy as there was in that marty. For Missiles fish was by far the largest caught that day.

LITTLE WISEACRES
 OF THE GARDENS
BY MABEL s. HERMAN.

Does it not seem strange about the f1owers-how they know when spring comes to put out their tiny green leaves? The peach tree has little heads, small and round, called buds. But some bright morntag you will walk in the garden and you will see that these buds have gone away and have left their little babies all alone. These babies are the prettieSt creatures under the sun. They are all in beautiful pink dresses. And you would laugh to see the busy bees at work going from flower to flower.
 It is strange about the buds and flow CTS. How the buds can burst open and send out blossoms that always are pink-never blue nor any color save pink. It is wonder that they do not forget. I wonder if any one could make a seed
 Let us hurry over and see how queer the berries are Why don't the black berries sometimes forget and bear a cluster of raspberries? And why do the violets wait until after sunrise to open? And when we plant flower and wish it to climb up a fence, why does it not run along the ground?
 Now listen. A pumpkin vine was once climbing upon fence AS l was walking by I heard sweet voice say: Little girl do you wish to know how the pumpkin on this vine grew so me /! The owner of this vine is a farmer and he is very cross. So I make him happy by making the pumpkins the grandest in the world People come from far and wide to get these pumpkins. He made lots of money. and I think will let the vine die
 But all of a sudden the stable door opened and the farmer came out with a gentleman to get some pumpkins. As soon as the little fairy saw the 1.I,o 1n1- h. tiful pumpkin flower and I ran away. Another day I went to see the vine, but when I got there l saw that the vine was all dried up.

of barks and whines from the poor, homesick doggies. From the upper deck greetings and partings and last mes- sages from the prospectors, and, ming led with all, the voices of the crew. Still nobody wanted Jim" At last all was ready. The moorings were raised and coiled, and amid cheers and the fiutter of handkerchiefs the big ship f1oated slowly out of the dock, turned and headed for the Golden Gate and Alaska.
 Singly or in groups the spectators turned homeward, and only a few stragglers were left. Teddy stood still against one of the piles, where he had been pushed in the last great hurry. 1ooking-looking! Jim" whined and licked his hand, but Teddy saw noth- ing but the vessel steaming away in the distance. He strained his eyes in the twilight till the last glimpse of her faded, and then, with a little despair ing cry, flung himself on the wharf and sobbed his heart out, while Jim" whined in sympathy and leaned hard against him, wagging his scraggy tail.
 Here, here, what's all this?" asked a mans voice. Whats the matter little chap? Now, now; there, now!"

He told them of the two little rooms he called home; of his mother and how hard she tried for work; of the little sister who didn't get well. and how he had tried to help, but nobody wanted "Jim!'
 He finished and more than one man found there was something besides the incoming fog that made his eyes grow dim. A big man blew his nose vigor- ously and then took off his hat, For the little man and Jim," he said, and they all understood.
 Did you ever realize how it must feel to be millionaire? Well, Teddy knew that night when they took him home, for he had found in the warm hearts of San Francisco a Klondike of his own.

HOW JACK

Y BELIEVE that I am just as dis
 appointed as you will be, Jack, but
 l must start tonight and 1 see no
 other way than to leave you to take | care of poor sick mamma and baby
 Helen while I am gone. Can you do it,little man?"
 Jack Everett was 12 years old. His home was in California. His grand father and grandmother and many other relatives live in New York State. MT. Everett had intended to take all his family to New York for the summer, but he was forced to go without them. Jack had heard his father tell many times about a bear that he had seen when he was a boy. Jack had heard that bears live a long time, and he had determined to try to kill it should he ever visit New York. Now his father was going away and Jack could not go with him. It seemed hard enough to the boy.
 He bore up bravely, however. and went with his mother, the baby and the nurse to the springs in the Sierras, taking with him his 22-caliber rifle.
 A mountain stream ran very near the hotel and Jack caught some beautiful trout. Mrs. Everett declared papa never did or could catch such beauties in the Delaware for the very good reason they weren't there to catch.
 If she praises me so for a few little fish what will she say when I kill a bear?" thought Jack.
 It was a wild, mountainous place, with tall pine trees almost touching the sky. and huge boulders- and piles of rock that looked like castles with ter rible dungeons, such as they used to keepcprisoners in long go. It wasn't hard to fancy almost anything in the way of fighting and prisoners here, for there were Indian arrow heads. every
 
 either a great deal of game killed here or else a furious battle once upon a time.
 Under these circumstances nothing was more natural than that Jack should play he was an Indian war rior. He was fortunate enough to shoot an immense hawk, and his mother and another lady made him a head-dress of the feathers that looked exactly like pictures or those worn by King Philip. The proprietor of the hotel had real Indian bow and arrow and real Indian necklace made of bears claws, both of which he lent to Jack on the spot. Some wild berries made the right color for blood thirsty warriors skin, and when all these things were on, and Jack as- sumed his fairest frown, any one who said he did not look like an out and out savage didn't know what was what.
 He frightened Helen so that she cried. Then he proposed taking her upon the hill just in front of the hotel. Nurse went with them to put up a hammock for the baby to sit in while lack explored the neighborhood.
 Now, kape your best eye on the baby. MT. Injun, for it's a wild baste lives in that hole under the rock, I'm thinkin'."

 and more than one man paused for an amused second look at the pair that stood by the gangplank.
 The boy was about 12, though so small he might easily have passed TOT a child of nine. He had p1nched, worried little face, and pair or prlght' eager eyes A hat several sizes too large for him and a jacket as much too small a pair of mems trousers that might have seen years of active serv- ice before they were cut over, ana some tattered little shoes, from which peeped the inouisitive toes, completed his out fit. ,.u
 The dog had but half outgrown his puppyhood. He was cur. A coarse rough coat of no particular color, a thick stump of a tail, poorly cut ears and a lame fore paw rendered him as unattractive a puppy as ever escaped the pot1ndman. But, in Teddy's eyes, no blue-ribboned favorite of the bench show was ever half so beautiful
 More than one tear had splashed down on his rough head that morning at the very thought of parting.
 "Oh, I just can't do it.: Teddy SODDeQ. l Just SdiA <AAAN there's the baby"
 "Jims" warm pink tongue had licked his little masters hand, and Jim s" soft, brown eyes had looked up, brim- full of sympathy and love. And so they had come, these two, to the Pacific street wharf, where a great steamer, bound for Dawson City, lay tugging at her moorings.
 But "Jiml" Why, he had owned Jim ever since he was wee little blinking puppy! He had shared his breakfast and his dinner, and at night he had cuddled with Jim" in his arms to sleep on the hard little bed! How could he sell him? And syet the little sister was sick and somehow she could not get well without a doctor. The mother had had no work for so long, and Teddy thought it all over and de- cided Jim" must go.
 From the lower deck came a chorus

Instantly the furious beast sprang mon her Just how Jack reached her or just what he did, he never knew. He had a dim recollection of screaming and pulling and beating the cat, so that it left Helen and attacked him. His one thought was it must be kept away from the baby because he was taking care of her, but the snarling was horrible. and the claws hurt terribly. and he was blinded by the blood which streamed down his face.
 He tried to get his hands around the creatures throat to choke it, and I guess he would have succeeded, for he bang" went a rifle, and both Jack and the wildcat fell down on the ground and rolled over and over. A minute more a real Indian was bending over them and helping Jack to his feet. The wildcat was badly wounded, but not dead, so another ball was put straight between his eyes.
 Strange to say, the baby'S wounds were not very bad. Jacks were worse, and the scars he will bear all his life, but the Indian knew plant that stanched the blood. Of course, every body in the hotel was greatly excited and frightened, and everybody pro- nounced Jack hero.
 I think he was too, don't you? And wasn't his father proud of him!
 No one could ever guess what was the incest thing Mr. Everett could find in New York for his boy, so I must tell. It was an enormous bear skin, the original owner of which was shot just a few weeks before in the very same spot where MT. Everett had seen one so many years ago. Jack was sure it was the same bear, so he couldn't have killed it if he had gone with his father, and every time he tells the boys. about his encounter with the wildcat he is glad he didn't go.

 In a twinkling out of that hole sprang the widest. fiercest little beast you ever saw, with sharp pointed ears and a snarling mouth; with cruel white teeth, eyes blazing with anger, and feet with long sharp claws. It was a wild cat, and a big one, too, Now, if Jack, the instant he shot the arrow, had not jumped to his feet for the purpose of dancing a war dance the wild cat would have sprung upon him. Instead of which the first object he saw was poor little Helen, IeW feet away in the hammock laughing and clapping her hands with delight at Jacks antics.

 She couldn't eat more; So she just leaves it

 The family came: There sat Miss Pussy

 Perched high in the air. Fast asleep on the
 Smooth arm of the chair.
