Bird" in q whisper tnas he was hei
lover forever more.
Little Red Riding Hood" did not
like to hear this, for she thought "Bob-
by" belonged to her, but just then
Johnny Green" came in and made ev-
erybody laugh trying to ring his little
silver bell and at the same time keep
his large pussy cat swinging.
Mistress Mary" was quite contrary
as usual, especially when George Por-
gie'' tried to kiss her, but then he kiss
ed all the girls, and strange to say
none of them cried; they rather seemed
to like it.
Jack Horner" with his Christmas
pie, which was a real mince pie, was
a great favorite, and many time
would be seen in a corner with pref
ty girl to pull out a plum.
Nancy Etticote" with her golden
curls and pretty white gown was the
belle of the evening.
Simple Simon" was bright enough
to knew her, but she thought tom
the "Piper's Son" was more attractive
as he let her taste of his chocolate pig
as he played on his pipe for them to
dance.
Peter Pumpkin-Eater" was so late
with his wife, whom he drew in a
pumpkin shell, that there was little
time to introduce them, and they all
marched to supper singing to the tune
of mistress Mary's bells.''
1t was a real Mother Goose" sup
per with white bread and butter,
"hot cross buns" pink slices of ham
a large plate of tarts, candied plums
and pail of water.
"Curly Locks could not bring
strawberries and cream, so they had
strawberry ice cream with pat-a-cakes
that the Baker Man" made.
At signal from Mother Goose
boy Blue" blew his horn, and every
body went upstairs. Curtains were
drawn across the doorway leading into
the library.
The curtains parted, and there was a
big nest with a monstrous goose sit
ting upon it, then Mother Goose
made little speech which made them
all laugh. The goose put her bill into
the nest and pulled out a little golden
egg. The nest must have been full
for there was an egg for every one OF
the children.
When they went home they all said
that there was nothing quite so nice
| as Mother Goose party.

Both Satisfied.

1t is seldom that the buyer and seller
of a horse are both satisfied, but such
an event did once happen.
Lord Granville, master of the roy
buckhounds, had a lubricating mai
ner. He bought an expensive horse
from a dealer named Anderson. Meet
ing the dealer some time afterward,
his lordship said, "Well, Anderson,you
know the price was quite extravagant,
but I am bound to say the horse was
worth it."
Il can asaure you, my lord" answer
ed Anderson, with a stiff bow, ''your
approval IN our only profit in the tran.

Few, indeed, would be their play
things if the Chinese children had to
depend on toy shops for them, says
Pearson's Weekly. AS it is, the hawk
er is a familiar sight in every Chinese
city, and when the children hear the
gong of toy seller it is a signal for
rush to the front gates. At a call
these men slip the pole from their
shoulders and set their baskets on the
ground, and there is always a group
of children ready to gather around
them.
A display Of toys carried by one OF
these toy sellers includes many things
familiar besides kites, made in the
shape of birds, fish, serpents, dragons
and even inanimate objects, like bells
and houses, will have wind harps fas-
tened on to make them sing while in
the air, and will have eyes set loose
in their heads, so that when the wind
blows the eyes will turn round and
look as if they we're winking at you.
His paraphernalia also includes lot
of clay moulds of different kinds of an
imals or fruits or other familiar OBJ
jects, and for zone cash" you can take
your choice.
The seller then opens up the bottom
tray in his rear basket and shows a
bowl of yellow sweets set over a pan
of burning charcoal to keep them soft.
He rubs little flour in the molds to
keep the sweet from sticking, picks up
little of the soft substance, which
he works into a cup shape in his fin
gers, and then draws it out, closing
up the hole. One end is drawn out
longer than the other and then broken
off. He places his lips to the broken
place and begins to blow, and the lump
slowly swells.
Then he claps the molds which you
have chosen round 1t, and gives hard
blow, breaks off the stem through
which he has been blowing, opens
the molds, dips little bamboo stick
into the soft sugar and touches it to
the side Of the sweetmeat figure in the
mold, lifts it out and hands it to you
on the stick, all in much less time than
it takes to tell about it.

Conversation Without Words.

The traveller in a foreign land is not
necessarily helpless because he does
not know the language. Nor was a
correspondent of the Chicago Record,
who admits that when he entered
Italy his nine words of French and f1f-
teen words of German were of no great
use to him. He says:
In Genoa I went into a photograph
er's shop and selected dozen photo
graphs.
I pointed at the photographs and
looked at him inQuiringly, which
meant, How much?"
He nodded his head and wrote ''14''
on slip of paper.
nodded, signifying, 81 will take
them"
He walked over to a calendar hang
ing on the wall and pointed to 90;
then he walked back and picked up the
photographs and shook his head,
which clearly meant that he could not
allow me to take the ones 1 had Sc
lected, but would have others printed
by the Goth.
Thereupon 1 pointed to Is on the cal
endar, and said Roma" which meant
that 1 should depart for Rome on that
date.
He nodded and then pointed to SO
and asked, 'Eh ?" which meant, Shall
you be in Rome until the 3Oth?''
nodded violently.
'Hotel?' he asked.
wrote my Rome address on a slip
of paper.
In making change he held out one
Ira.
"Poste," he explained.
Then 1 departed. Ordinarily a shop
per selecting a dozen photographs to
be printed to order and forwarded to
him at the next town would spend ten
minutes or more in making inquiries
and giving directions. Our total OF
conversation was just five words.

The Shamrock.

One Of the daily newspapers reports
a prominent florist and horticultur-
list" as saying: There seems to be
some strange fatality about the sham
rock. 1t is essentially the flower Of
Ireland. Nowhere else except in that
little isle will the plant thrive, and
when transplanted, it's death is only a
question of brief time. Irish it is, and
nothing can change it"
This statement is romantic, but hard
ly scientific. In the first place, no one
knows surely what plant is meant
when the shamrock is mentioned. It
is impossible to know what plant this
horticulturist meant. In one part Of
Ireland one plant is called the sham
rock, in another part another plant,
and elsewhere in the island still an
other.
The name is, perhaps, most widely
given to one Of the hop-clovers, botan-
ically named Trifolium minus. This
is the plant which is commonly export
ed from Ireland, especially to London
for ST. Patrick's day, and often to the
United States, under the name of the
shamrock. 1t may perhaps lay claim
to being called the true historical
shamrock, although that honor might
also be claimed for several other
plants.
But it is not true that it will not
grow elsewhere. 1t will grow any
where it is properly cultivated and does
grow freely in other countries.
Beyond that, the white clover, Trifo-
lium repens, is widely understood to
be the common shamrock, and is pluck
ed and worn under that name in Ire
land and elsewhere. 1t grows nowhere
more freely and abundantly than in the
United States, and there is nothing
enthusiastically Irish about it.
The black medic, Medicago lupulina,
is also known as the shamrock So
is the wood sorrel, Oxalis acetosella
There is much historical evidence in
favor Of the claim that this last plant
is the shamrock sung by the poets. 1t
is beautifully trifoliate, and it grows
in wild places.
It may we'll be the plant referred to
| by the horticulturist referred to, be-
cause it would be difficult to make it
thrive in any sort Of cultivation which
did not approximate closely the con-
However, these natural conditions are
not found in Ireland alone. This oxa-
| lis grows in England as well, and is
there locally known as the shamrock
1t f1ourishes in the United States also
carpeting the ground for square miles
together.
| The red clover has been locally called
the shamrock. This plant is extreme
ly familiar to Americans, and is the
| Estate flower" of Vermont Even the
watercress has been called the sham
rock, although its leaves are not tri
foliate.
The true shamrock" to an Irish
man is the plant which was known b!
that name around the spot of his or hi
fathers birth. But the botanist ha
as much trouble in identifying it as h,
has in identifying the "mayf1ower" o
New England-a name which is ap
piled in different localities to the trail

nights play tonight in his match for the
championship title against Fred Payton of
Omaha at Maurice Days academy, 205 to
1872 Payton appeared nervous when he
stepped to the, table and was successful
in pocketing only two balls from De Oro's

scratched. He also gained the majority of
the points in the second and third frames,

The western expert steadied down in the

came brilliant. His shots for position were
all well executed and he displayed consid-
erable nerve and good judgment in making
, combinations from the lunches. In the
tenth Payton went to the front. the score
being 6S to 65. He increased this lead by
demonstrating his ability to overcome De
ores safety play and his mastery of the
