there is little thought taken of how
much ironing will be necessary on
the frilled summer garments. This
Is certainly a shirtwaist season, and
there are many novelties to be found
in the way of trimming.

The Prayer of Devout Parrot.

Inc Irhyer OF DeyOut Parrot.
A resident of Pittsburg who spent
part of last summer in England
tells in an exchange an incident
which sadly disturbed the religious
peace of parish in Penzance.
A maiden lady of that town owned
a parrot which somehow acquired
the disagreeable habit of observing
at frequent intervals: II wish the
old lady would die"
This annoyed the birds owner,
who spoke to her curate about it..
II think We can rectify the matter, ."
replied the good man. II also have
a parrot, and he is a righteous bird,
having been brought up in the way
he should go. L will lend you my
parrot, and | trust his influence will
reform that depraved bird of yours. +"
The curate's parrot was placed in
the same room with the wick ed one,
and as soon as the two had become
accustomed to each other the bad
bird remarked, II wish the old lady
would die" Whereupon the clergy
mans bird rolled up his eyes and in
solemn accents added: 1--WE be-
seech Thee to hear US, good Lord !"
The story got out in the parish,
and for several Sundays it was
necessary to omit the litany at the
church services.-Ex.

"My Darling"

In bright letters, these words stood
out in bold relief on the dashboard
of huge four horse truck in street
blockade. The driver looked as I'M
sentimental as possible, but he was
not profane or brutal to his horses.
Patiently he waited the loosening of
the jam, while his neighbors filled
the air with curses. Finding his
horses FESTIVE, he climbed from the
box and soothed them with gentle
words and caresses. A newspaper
man standing by asked him why he
called his truck my Darling" This
was the reply
WELL" he said, because it keeps
the memory of my little daughter,
Nelly. She's dead now, but before
she died she put her arms about nv
neck, and said:-
" Papa, I'm going to die, and 1
want you to promise me one thing,
because it will make me 80 happy.
Will you promise?
Yes | said, I'll promise any
thing. What is it?'
Then, fixing her eyes upon mine,
she said
~ papa uou NC angry, DuU
promise me that you will never swear
any more, nor whip your horses
hard, and that you will be kind to
mamma
That's all there is about it, mister;
| promised my little girl, and I've
kept my word
When the blockade was lifted the
big truckman resumed his seat and
was soon lost in the tide of travel.
The listener went on his way, but
the story appeared in his next issue.

People that are especially fond q,
cats often claim that they have as
much sense as dogs. and that thex
nave reasoning powers, and this story
seems TO prove that this is so: In the
mountain district Of Pennsylvania two
wrens have built their nest under tha
caves OF An old farmhouse. and tbor.
tne' reared small family. Among
the members Of the farmers househola
was White cat, and when the wrens
became SO tame that they used to hon
around the plaza, in search of crnmha
the cat would lie In wait for them
ana several times came within an inch
OF catching the adult birds. When tha
farmer noticed this he punl ed the
cat. and she finally learned that It
was dangerous to fool with the wrens.
When the baby wrens grew larger one
OF them fell out Of the mes. one day.

helpless on the grass. The cat saw
the accident, and ran rapidly to seize
the bird. but. seeming to RENE ,ber the
lesson Taught her. when she reached
the helpless little thing sho only
touched it daintily with her paw, and
then lay down and watched it. Present
ly there came = black and yellow gar
den snake toward the bird. The cat
was DOING and'was awakened By the
duttering OF the bird. Instantly she
rose and struck at the reptile with her
paw. This was an enemy th-t the
snake did not like. but it was h'lngry.
and. darting forward. it attempted to
seize the bird under the very shelter
of the cats head. Like q flash, how
ever. the cat seized the snake Just
back of the head and killed it with one
bite. When the fsrmer happened along
in the afternoon he found the cat
crouching in the grass sheltering the
bird. and ten feet away was the dead
snake. This made it clear that the cat
had carried the bird away from the
snake. The young adventurar was
soon returned to his anxious parents.
