THE WEE ONE.

Down at our house Is wee one,
And nobody ever could see one
More sweet and complete from the
tips of his feet
To the soft fluffy down on the top of
his crown.
o.. the hue of his eyes is the blue of
the skies.
And the guile of his smile like the
laugh of the day,
Merry and winning and gladstone and
gay,
While his cheeks are like clover, with
pink flushing over.
From t1e break of the dawn to the
set OF the sun.
There is nothing you'll see that is
fairer than he.
Our own little, dear little wee one!
Two tat little fists has the wee one,
And he always can show you a free
one
To tear at your hair and to make
havoc there.
Ana a almpIe he'll hnd you still tur-
ther to bind you;
And he's two little teeth lately out
from their sheath
That will bite with delight on your
finger or knuckle.
Or make tiny dents on your watch or
your buckle.
While his feet growing bolder will
drum on your shoulder
But who minds the sears when they're
every one done
BY that mischievous mite, that witch
ing young wight,
Our own little, dear little wee one!
All, many a friend has the wee one
And he knows if you happen to be
one
He'll gurgle and coo and he'll frollc
with you.
Or stretch out his arms with his
prettiest charms,
And fret when you wake him to get
you to take him:
He'll hoax you and coax you and cut
up his capers,
Toss over your treasures and tumble
your papers,
You have to attend him, you have to
befriend him
But who can help loving that bundle
of fun.
That giyer of joy, that bright little
boy,
God bless him. our dear little wee
one!

THOUGHT IT WAS SATURDAY

Col A F. Creedle, one of the most
conscientious merchants, and one who
has never been known TO open his
store or sell cents worth OF goods
on Sunday forgot to keep tally last
week. and came down Sunday morn
ing last and coened his store as usual.
While sweeping out the house he was
noticed by Squire Phillips who went
over 70 ask him what it all meant
that he was opened on Sunday morn
ing. The veteran merchant protested
vigorously that it was Saturday, and
the neighbors had TO be called in to
convince him OF the mlstake.-Fulton

cease and the skirt falls plain to the

To make the new skirts very attractive
there is a drop skirt of silk, bordered
with a deep rufiie of the dress goods
This drop skirt is quite short, escaping the
ground all the way around SO it is not
necessary to hold it UP. The outer skirt
only is lifted and the drop skirt hangs
nearly to the ground. This pretty fashion
is less firing IN the arm than that Of
lifting the whole skirt and drop skirt.

BIG HATS.
The top is a big soft bag of turquoise
blue satin. trimmed with the green
leaves of the rose plant. These leaves
lie all around the crown and are set
in the folds with irreguiarity, the deep
green of the leaves looking charming
against the turquoise blue OF the crown.
AT one side there is an immense red
rose, as large as the biggest American

ftiful pattern for a summer hat and one

for the tunic which falls over the drop
