They Ate the Buttons.

Grandma could not believe her eyesi
She had herself sewed buttons on Mar
garet's and Dorothy's new clothes. And
now here they were, come to have
their little waists and petticoats but
toned, and not button to be seen!
Grandma was sure they were good
buttons. for she had taken them out of
the package mamma brought home
with lot of shopping.
The little girls, with laughing faces,
stood in front of her. holding up their
little clothes from dropping down,
watching her establishment. Then Dor
othy said, I'm going to fess, grand
ma"
and l will, too" said Margaret
1--WE ate the buttons, grandma
"Ate buttons! Oh, Margaret, you'll
die! When did you do it? Answer
quickly"
ooh, grandma, they were candy, and
10 goodr' and Margaret smacked her
rosy lips. Dorothy wetted her finger
to rub a speck of black off of one and
it tasted sweet, and then we bit one,
and it was just like yellow taffy, and
we ate them all up before we thought.
and our clothes fell down, and please
won't you forgive us?"
Dear, white haired grandma laughed
till the tears ran down her cheeks. For
mamma said she had bought the candy
buttons for a joke, never dreaming
grandma would be caught.

ANIMAL HEROES.
How Two Dogs. a Falcon and a Spi-
der Saved Human Lives.

How Two Dogs. a Falcon and Spi.
der Saved Human Lives.
"Ships agroundY' shouted the mate
as the Harpooner crashed on to the
, rock of st. Shots, off Newfoundland
She bumped free a moment later, but
| the next wave flung her farther on tC
the crags. a breaker swept her decks
all was confusion. At last boat was
lowered, and the mate and four sea-
men pushed off for shore, which they
reached after desperate struggle. Un-
luckily the distance was too great to
throw a line across. Hope vanished.
An idea came to the captain. He
brought his big Newfoundland dog aft,
attached a light rope to its collar and
threw it into the sea. Struggling gal
lantly through the great waves, the
brave beast reached the party ashore.
BY means of the line they soon got a
rope across, and over 16O of the passen-
gers were sent across before the rope,
by friction on the rocks, parted and
left the rest of those on board the Ill
fated ship to perish.
There is an old fairy tale about a
king who, out hawking, got thirsty and
stopped to dip his cup in rill that
sparkled by the roadside. AS he was
raising it to his lips his falcon dashed
at it and again and again knocked it
from his hand. Enraged, the monarch
seized the bird and wrung its neck, but
when it was dead he saw, to his sor-
row, that in the spring lay a poisonous
serpent.
This pretty fable has a real parallel
in the case of the spider that saved the
life of Frederick William, king of
Prussia, granduncle of the present
kaiser. An attempt was made to poi
son the king in a cup of chocolate. By
chance a spider fell into the cup and for
that reason the chocolate was given to
dog. The dog fell dead. Inquiry
was made, the cook was hanged, and
now large spider, wrought in gold,
decorates one of the chief rooms of the
palace at Potsdam, in memory Of his
majesty's escape.
A little fat, wheezy pug is hardly
the ideal hero of a dog drama, but
there is now living in Philadelphia
child who owes her life to her mothers
pug dog. Little Ina WEIGH, when but
q year old, got hold of a box of Qui-
nine pills which had been carelessly
left lying about. Taking them for
sweets, the baby began to eat them.
After a time her mother heard the
child crying and ran in. There sat
Ina on the floor, still picking the cap
sules from the open box. In front Of
her sat the pug, his eyes fixed on her
movements, and every time she took
up a pill he made dash and, snatch
ing it from her fingers, swallowed 1t
himself. There had been originally 40
pills in the box. Twenty-seyen were
gone. The child could not possibly
have taken more than two. More
would have been fatal. So poor pug
had eaten no less than %.

TEDDY REPRINTED.

When supper Time Came, He Had .
Different Opinion of Cows.
''Come, Teddy" said Mrs. West. cts
time for the cows to come home"
But Teddy was reading a story about
| a shipwreck and did not want to be
disturbed just then.
ooh, mother, wait little WHILE" he
said
| A little later Hester came to the
| door.
Teddy, you ought to get the cows"
she said.
Bother the cowsr' replied Teddy
| GROSSLY, and his sister went away.
Soon a mans face appeared at the
window.
Edward, the cowsr' said Mr.. West,
and when his father spoke like that
Teddy lost no time in obeying.
Sulkily he laid down his book and
walked through the kitchen, where his
mother and sister were cooking the
supper and his father was piling up
the kindling wood for the mornings
fire.
Il hate cowsw Teddy grumbled as
he walked slowly across the pine floor.
They're a bother, and l wish we
didn't have any. l wish nobody had
any. Cows are no good, anyway-just
in the way. l hate cows
An hour later the cows were safe in
the barn for the night, and Teddy was
in a better humor. He was hungry,
too, after the walk to the meadow and
back in the fresh, bracing air.
A fine round of meat was smoking on
the table, but there was none on Ted
dy's plate.
This is beef said Mr.. West. II
did not give you any because you hate
cows, Teddy" Teddy opened his mouth
and then closed it again without a
word.
II won't give you any butter, Teddy"
said Mrs. West, because we get our
butter from the cows, and you hate
them So Hester poured out the milk
for the other children, but to Teddy she
gave a glass of water.
Cows are such a bother!'' she said
soberly. Il know you don't want any
milk"
Teddy looked wistfully at the plate
of creamy cheese, but it was passed to
every one but him. But. worst of all,
when the custards were brought in,
sweet and brown in their little white
cups, Teddy was passed by.
''Of course you wouldn't eat custards,
for they are made mostly of milk"
said Aunt Hetty.
Teddy looked as if he would cry.
Il haven't had anything to eat"
he blurted. Il wish l hadn't said those
things about the COWS"
Everybody smiled then, and no one
objected when Hester slyly passed to
him a cup of Observation-Disclosures
