We take just as much pains with
the boys as we do with the men. We
use pretty much the same materials
for the little fellows and try to give
them the, same mannsh styles that
the elder looks fof. We don't charge
as much for the Suits for boys, they
don't Use as much cloth-Knee-pant
Suits cost from $l,a5 to $40, and
long trouser Suits from S. to $3.50.
Our Boys' Overcoats are made
with view to standing the test of
the mothers examination, both as re-
CARDS style, workmanship and price.
The prices "a to $l6.5O) vary ac-

The Red Lily.

The red lily of Palestine is in size and
shape much like our Easter lilies, but
they are yellow, with purple streaks
upon the outside and a red blush tint
within. In the bottom of each bell there
are six drops of sweet, waterljke tears.
If you take these away, six more will
at once take their places.
About this flower this pretty story Is
told by the simple folk who live near
there:
"Once the garden of Gethsemane was
full of flowers of all kinds and among
them none so fair and queenly as the
slender, stately lily, with all her clus-
tering bells proudly upright. 1t was
evening, and the Lord came to walk
awhile in his garden. AS he passed
along each gentle flower bowed before
him while he breathed upon them,
but when he came to the lily her
naughty head remained erect in the de-
fance Of conscious beauty. The Lord
paused and looked upon her. For
second she braved that bright, mild eye
of reproach, then slowly bent her sill
very bells, while bushes swept in pain
full brilliancy over them. Still the
Lords gaze rested on her. Lower sank
her head, deeper burned her crimson.
Then tear after tear welled up in the
lily cups. At this the Lord passed Oh.
when morning came, all the flowers
lifted their heads and smiled to see the
light; all but the lily, that once white
queen among them. Her head remained
bowed in shame, while to this day she
bushes over her vanity, and the tears
Of repentance still flow in the delicate
cups of the flower that refused to bend
before the Lord as he walked in the
garden of Gethsemane at the evening
hour"

Dolls Heads.

Years ago doll heads were made Of
wood, carved out by hand, and great
numbers Of dolls were sold that were
entirely Of wood, with jointed arms
and legs. Some dolls of this sort, look
ing quaint enough now, though they
were once common, are still sold, but
the great bulk of the dolls now made
have bodies of cloth or leather, with
heads of china or bfsque or papier
mache. There are also dolls heads of
metal, these heads being made of
dies and joined together.
In the process by which these heads
are made many dies are used in the
production of a single head. the metal
being worked to it's final shape gradu-
ally. The first die makes but a barely
perceptible impression upon the piece
of sheet metal from which the head is
to be formed, the next shapes 1T little
more, and so on, by pressure from sue
cessive dies, each little more sharply
defined, the head is brought finally to
it's perfect form. These heads are made
In various sizes and in various styles
as to details or finish. They cost about
the same as the best bisque heads, but
one of the merits claimed for them is
fndestructibility.- York Sun.

that" he heard some one behind him
| say. In the gathering dusk 1t was not
easy to determine who 1t was.
"Yes; he IS such a gentleman" came
a reply. Il believe there is a great
future for that boy"
"He is to be one of the new railroad
apprentices. 1 heard this afternoon"
what is that?"
1.-The president is going to put three
boys in the general offices to become
clerks and then work their way up in
the world. He wants to take two from
his own town because he was born
here, but l guess he will take only
one-Jim."
Frank had not heard anything about
it and was surprised that such fortune
was to come to his friend.
But another surprise was in store. A
little farther down the street two men
came alongside-in the dusk he could
barely recognize them-his teacher and
the president. The former called to
him, though Frank was hurrying
away, james, see here"
Frank halted a little, feeling aSham-
ed of his false position, yet expecting
that he would be recognized properly
when they came nearer.
"The matter has been decided" the
professor went on, land you may be
prepared to go to the city on Monday.
Mr.. Harris has decided to take only
you from this city. He liked one other
boy in that class, but was afraid he
lacked neatness and attention"
Frank thought of his frously hair
and disrespectful attitude in the
schoolroom that afternoon with keen
regret.

proved yourself all right. No one can
succeed in a railroad Office who does
not pay attention to these things. The
time to commence is while you are
young. You have done right to remem-
Der it."
How Frank wanted to get awayi At
the first store he turned from his COM
panions and entered. The men went
on, and then he sought Jim.
Here's your coat" he said, handing
over the big garment. your mother

Frank few mornings after.
"Why do you want it? l thought you
said it did not matter how boy look
ed" replied Mrs. Custer, with smile.
"Well, / thought I'd clean I'D a little |
1t won't hurt anyway" replied Frank
shamefacedly. He disliked to admit
that he had changed his views. He
had learned one Of the lessons of a
boys life. 1t was rather expensive for
him perhaps, but it would not be for

A Cat That Earn. 1t. Living.

That was rather a useful cat of Dick
Whittington's, but it did not display
very positive kind of usefulness, as
the store cat Of Sioux City grocery
firm does. Tom-that is, the grocery
CATS a very familiar figure to the
customers, for he is always behind the
counter with the clerks. When q bun
die is tied and the string must be
broken, then it is that Tom springs up
and runs along the counter, grabs the
string in his teeth and with deft bite
and yank parts it. 1t is all done so
quickly and is so astonishing that the
customers think their eyes must have
deceived them, as Tom cuddles down
again and begins to pur cheerfully,
waiting for another chance to cut the
string. The grocery firm would not
take a good deal of money for their
cat, and he is most carefully provided

JOHNS TROUSERS.

From the Backs of the Sheep to Com
pleted Article In 81 Hours.
More than a hundred years ago our
country was at war with another coun,
try called England, thousands of miles
away. One morning, just after the war
had begun, John told his mother that
the troops were out and that he must
join them early the next day.
What shall we do?" exclaimed the
patriotic mother. John must have a
pair of new trousers. and we haven't a
bit of cloth in the house."
"Nor any yarn either" added De
borah. 81 used the last in weaving the
cloth for Charles jacket"
something must be DONE" said the
mother. perhaps we can get the trou-
sers made, even if we have to spin and
weave them. Let us try our very best."
Charlie and l will cut the WOOL"
said Mary, the youngest girl.
ST am afraid you cannot catch the
sheep" said the mother. "They are in
the pasture"
"We'll take some SALT said Mary.
1--WE can coax them with that"
When they reached the pasture.
Mary pointed out a black sheep and
told Charlie to hold the salt toward it.
Charlie did so. and the sheep came run
ming to him at once. While the sheep
was licking the salt Charlie put his
arms around its neck and held it still
while Mary cut off some Of it's wool
with the shears. Then they caught a
white sheep and sheared some Of it's
wool in the same way. With this black
and white wool in the basket which
she carried, Kate ran back to the house
SO that her mother and Deborah might
begin carding it at once. Mary and
Charlie kept on with their Shearing,
first a black sheep, then white one,
until plenty of wool had been cut. Aft
err the wool is cut from the sheep 1t
Is usually washed and dried, but now
there was no time to spare for that
process. The cards used were blocks
of wood nearly square, with a handle
and slanting iron teeth. The wool was
combed by these cards until it was
made into soft, long rolls, when it was
ready for spinning. After Kate and
Mary came back from the Shearing
they said they would do the carding so
that their mother and Deborah could
commence to spin. They owned two
pairs Of cards and had borro wed an ex-
ira spinning wheel from a neighbor.
AS soon as yarn enough was spun the
loom was prepared, and the weaving
of the cloth began. They all took turns
at the loom, and when the cloth was
made all helped with the sewing, so
that by working all night the trousers
were finished in good season and put
in the bundle which Johns mother
packed for him the next morning.

FRANKS Sad EXPERIENCE
and HIS Change OF VIEW

your hair needs combing before you
go to school, said Mrs. Custer as
Frank was starting out of the door.
"Oh, it's good enough" was the re-
ply. "Who cares how a boys hair
looks?"
But you care yourself?'
I'm not particular, that l know Of"
And he was on the end of the porch
before the mother got in another word
"Who csres?' he repeated as he ran
on his way to school. "a boy doesn't
want to be a milksop-" He did not
define what he meant by the word
milksop, but it was fair to presume
that he intended to describe one who
was careful of his personal appearance
and did not allow his dirty hands or
uncombed hair to worry him. In fact,

A Queation of Traiua.

A train starts daily, let us say, from
San Francisco for New York and one
daily from New York for San Francis
co, the journey lasting seven days.
How many trains will a traveller meet
in journeying from San Francisco to
New York?
1t appears obvious at the first glance
that the traveller must meet seven
trains, and that Is the answer which
will be given by nine girls out Of ten
to whom the question is new.
The fact is overlooked that every
day during the journey a fresh train is
starting from the other end, while
there are seven or the way to begin
with. The traveller will therefore meet
not seven trains, but IA.

MIR. FINNEY'S TURNIP.
First Poem Written by LOnEfe1low
When He Was Nine Years of Age.

First Poem Written by LOnEfe1low
When He Was Nine Years of Age.
Years ago. say about the time your
mother was going to school, all the
boys and girls knew the first poem
ever written by Henry w. Longfello".
the New England poet, says the Chi
cago Record. This was partly because
the poem was n quaint and catchy
composition and partly because Nj
Lcnefellow was at the height of his
fame at that time: also there was a
pretty little story in connection with
the poem. AS the story goes, when
Longfellow was a lad of 8 his school
master told him to write a compost
ton. "Composition" was a large word
for such small boy, and young Henry
screwed his fist into his eye and be-
gan to complain that he didn't know
how to go about accomplishing such a
mighty task.
You can write words, can't you?"
asked the schoolmaster kindly.
Eyes, SIR" was the whimpered reply.
"Then," explained the master, take
your slate and go out behind the
schoolhouse and see if you can't find
something to write about. When you
find it, write and tell what it is for
and what may be done with it. and
that will be n composition"
Being permitted to go out behind the
schoolhouse during study hours was
very consoling. composition or no COM
position. So little Henry became more
cheerful at once and battered out of
the little. stuffy. old fashioned school
room. Near the schoolhouse was Mr..
Finney's barn. Henry went behind the
barn and there saw a fine turnip grow
ing in the garden. The lad knew what
that was. what it was for and what
might be done with it, so there was
the material for a composition. He had
half an hour in which to finish his
composition. At the end of the stipu-
lated time the young poet went back
to the schoolroom and handed his slate,
now filled with childish writing, to the
old master. The schoolmaster read the
composition, and the tears rolled down
his aged cheeks. Perhaps they were
tears of laughter, but more likely they
were signs of pleasure. Here is what
he read:
MIR. FINNEY'S TURNIP.
Mr.. Finney had turnip,
And it grew behind the barn.
And it grew and grew,
And the turnip did no harm.
And it grew and grew
Till it could grow taller.
Then Mr. Finney took it up
And put it in the cellar.
There it lay and lay
Till it began to rot.
Then his daughter Susie washed it
And put it in the pot.
Then she boiled it and boiled it
AS long she able.
Then his daughter Lizzie took it,
And she put it on the table.
Mr.. Finney and his wife
Both sat down to sup,
And they ate and they ate
Until they ate the turnip up.
