Four Little Travellers.

Four Little Travellers.
Mary Alicia set forth for the east
To see where the sun comes up;
And Edward Delaney went straight
toward the north
To search for polar pup.
Margaret Anna repaired to the south,
Where oranges flourish, you know;
And Thomas Augustus struck out for
the west,
Where gold mines and buffaloes
grow.
'Tis very strange thing that I have
to relate
Concerning these travelled young
folk
But the very next morning they all OF
them found
They were safe in their beds when
they woke.

To q Dear Little Girl.

To . Dear Little Girl.
They say that Her Highness the
Queen
Has diamonds and pearls in hex
crown;
And every day Of the week she is
dressed
As If she had on her Sunday best,
In beautiful, brand-new gown.
Tho you haven't jewel, my dear lit
tie girl,
Or a gown that is covered with lace,
There are stars in your eyes and a
rose on your cheek,
And you gladden. my heart whenever
you speak,
With the smiles that beam on your
face.
And If in my ihkstand / find
A valentine tender and true,
l shall send it to one who is gentle
and kind,
ct won't be the Queen, and hope she
won't mindl,
l shall send it, my sweetheart, to you.

up together. Mamma started the fre

dressed. Then she went out TO fix the
Kitchen IRE. Now mamma was always
very careful about leaving the lamp;
where the children could reach 1t, but
she was to be gone only minute. SO.
she thought 1t would be safe to let it
stand on the table in the corner.
She had laid the kindlings. put in.
the wood and lighted them. when all
at once she heard such frightened
screams from the sitting-room!
How fast she ran to the door, ex-
recting to see the overturned lamp and
everything on fire. But no! There
stood the little lamp as quiet as ever,
just as she had left it: but Rob was
jumping up and down, and crying and
screaming in another corner, while
Carl was standing in the middle Of the
floor, as still and white as could be.
What in the world was the matter?
Mamma could not see anything to
brighten them. She went quickly to
Carl-he was the baby-and took him
up in her arms. AS she did so, some
thing dropped to the floor. Looking
down, she saw-now I wonder II l
ought to tell you what it was right
away, or make you guess? think I
will have to tell you, because
couldn't hear your answers, you see!
Well, it was a new pair Of very
small overshoes that mamma had
brought home from the store the day
beforei
When Rob saw them quite plainly,
he went over to mamma, crying and
laughing together, and told her what
had happened.
Carl had gone back in the bedroom
to get mammals brush for his curly
hair, and when he came out again.
something black was following close
at his heels. Every time he took a
step, it made little jump after him
until he stopped and stood still. too
frightened to move, while Rob jumped
up and down, screaming with all his
might.
The little lamp gave out such
small, soft light that neither Of the
boys could see the little pink string
that was caught on one of Carls shoe
buttons-the string that always holds
your new shoes together, you know.
But there it was, fastened tight
around the button and holding the lit
tie black overshoes that jumped up
and down at Carts heels.
I'VE thought it was cat" ex-
planned Rob, between his sobs.
Then he began to laugh as hard as
he could laugh, and holding his little
aching sides with his hands, he said,

Adelfne'o View.

Little Adeline's attention had been
called to a skunk running across a
field some distance away. She did not
say anything, but evidently thought
about 1t a great deal, for the next day,
while playing with her dolls. she sud-
denly looked up and said, Aunt
Mabelr' well, Adeline, what is it?''

you were a big Aunt Mabel skunk,
and I was a little baby skunk, would

An owl Song.
When early dawn begins to peep.
And morning stars are all aglow.
When cold winds through the shutters
Creep.
And rosy light is on the snow,
And rosy light is in the skies,
The little white owl sings to you,
AS round he stares with sleepy eyes,
To-who, to-whit! To-whit, to-who!
am just as tired as an owl can be,
And I'm going to bed in my hollow
tree;
But that is sign, little Curlyhead,
1t is time that you were out Of bed"
When shadows blue at fall Of night
Lie all across the quiet snow,
And neighbors' windows shine so
bright,
And up the round moon rises slow,
When evening stars are in the sky.
The little white owl loves to sit
And sing among the tree-tOps high,
"To-whit, to-who! To-who, to-whit!
I have finished my nap in the hollow
tree,
And I'm wide-awake as an owl can
be;
But that is sign. little Sleepyhead,
1t is time that you were of for bed. :"

How Papa Knew.
Mile and papa and bonnie Brown
Bess, the pretty horse with the seal
brown coat, were out for a winters
sleigh-ride
Brown Bess shook her head as
though she were saying to other hors-
e. Catch US if you CAM" Papa
turned out of the city streets, and
pretty soon they were driving along
pleasant country road. where the snow
was as white as plum-cake frosting."
Millie said.
All at once papa said, "a rabbit ran
along beside the road here this very
morning, early. He was in no hurry.
but went along as though he were out
simply for a stroll! When he got as
far as this some snow fell OF that tree
over there and gave Bunny a great
start. How he ran. Pretty soon he
stopped, stood up on his hind legs and
looked all about"
why, papa" cried Millie. "you
sound just like a fortune-teller! How
do you know what happened here this
morning."
Papa laughed. Then the rabbit
started of as fast as he could co." he
went on. Along about here he began
to get over his fright. and went more
slowly" They were just going
down short hill. At the foot of it
papa said: AT this point partridge
had been having his breakfast, and
Bunny stopped to see what the bill
of-fare had been!"
Millie was too astonished now to
say oh"
Brown Bess was trotting gaily along
as papa went on. After Bunny had
gone by this place a big dog got over
that stone wall and started after him,
though the rabbit wasn't in sight, for
the animal was only going at dog
trot' when he went along here!"
Pretty soon papa said: There, l
feel relieved! The dog changed his
mind when he got here and gave up
following Bunny! Maybe he suddenly
remembered how he could get
breakfast a good deal easier"
Mile had found her voice by this
time
Papa Harold" she said, do tell me
this minute how you know all that"
Papa laughed again. by the tracks
along the roadside" he said. 1t
stopped showing about four o'clock
this morning. SO the tracks must have
been made after that. Rabbits tracks
are in pairs, side by side. When Bun
ny went slowly the pairs of tracks
were near together. l knew he was
frightened by bit of falling snow, be-
cause I saw where little bunch had
fallen, and from there on for several
rods the pairs of tracks were far apart.
That meant he was running.
There was a peculiar pressure in
the snow that meant to me, Here Bun
ny stood UP to see what that soft noise
was He felt satisfied that no harm
was near, because his tracks were near
together after that. saw where a
partridge had dug away the light snow
to find its breakfast. leaving its foot
prints in the snow, and Bunny's tracks |
showed that he stopped and looked in
to the hole. knew a dogs track, too,
and followed his course in the same
way"
why. papa" said Millie. ''it's just
like reading a page out of Natures

YES" said Papa Harold. "a white
page, with the writing all done by the

New York, Aug. 17.--After continual
the hour OF his death was near at hand,
Joseph Jewkes. a we'll known real es-
tate man OF Brooklyn, died suddenly
yesterday while riding I'm trolley car.
He was sixty-one years OF age. and
death was due TO heart disease.
Mrs. Jewkes decided yesterday morn
ing To take her husband on a trip TO
Long Branch in the hope OF Kidding
his mind of this presentament of death.
He had begun the day by saying that
the time was very near.
Mrs. .Jewkes left her home at 394 Cum
berland street with her husband early
in the morning They were TO have ta-
ken a steamer from Manhattan. When
they had reached the Manhattan ter
minal OF the Bridge Mr.. Jewkes COM
planned of feeling very IN and said that
he would return home. Husband ana
wife got aboaSl Fulton street car and
started back 10 Brooklyn.
When the car reached the Borough
Hall i'm Brooklyn Mr.. Jewkes let his
head drop upon his wfe's shoulder. Be-
fore the car could be stopped he was
dead. Conduit or Frank Pitt switched
his car to the Johnson street siding and
pulled down the curtains. There the
wife. with the head OF her dead hus-
band in her arms, waited until an un-
dertaker's wagon arrived.
During the forty -eight hours before
his death Mr.. Jew1xes reflected aloud
on the vanity OF life. He kept repeating
continually in the presence OF his wife
the words:
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes; we
brought nothing with US and we take
nothing away"
Again. while walking with her in the
garden of their home, he pointed to
some ripening fruit and said:
Not one of us can say who shall
live to eat it."
Mr. Jewkes was born on July 4, 1888
He spent most OF his life In Brooklyn,
and was for nineteen years member
OF Magnolia Lodge, Odd Fellows. Be
sides his widow he leaves two children.
