NEDDY,s LONG WORD.

Remember, Neddy," said mother
one day, always to accommodate
every one that you can"
"Yes'm," said Neddy, heartily, II
will" Mother felt sure he would, for
Neddy is one of the very best boys
you ever saw to remember things.
The next day Mrs. Camp called to
him as he was running down the
street. ''Neddy. Neddy! come here a
minute. please"
Neddy heard her, and stopped,
though be didn't much want to. He
was going over on Wilson Pond, and
was in great hurry; but he went up
to the door whore Mrs. Camp was
standing, and pulled off his cap with
a polite little bow. which pleased the
lady very much.
vWill you run down to the store for
me, dear?" she said. Il want a spool
Of twist, and 1 have no one to send"
Neddy's eyes closed up the least bit
In the world, but Mrs. Camp was
looking in her purse for the right
change, and didn't notice; and before
she found 1t, the bright sun OF good
nature was shining again in Neddy's
eyes, and he answered. "Yes'm," as
cheerfully as could be.
1t didn't take long. after all. The
store was not great way OF. and
there were no other customers; and
Neddy In less than ave minutes was
back again with the spool of twist.
THANK you." said Mrs. Camp. smil-

THE PETTICOAT FOR SLENDER
MESS.

In these days 1t is the ambition OF
most women to look as slight az pos
sible. A great help to this end Is a
petticoat of silk stockinet, which fits
the figure like skin from waist to
knee. These skirts are furnished with
detachable frills of silk, which button
on to the stockinet portion. and give
from knee to ankle the fussy frilly
effect demanded by fashion.
Many women who pride themselves
upon their slim figures decline to be
burdened with superfuous skirts, and
with satin knickerbockers no other
petticoat Is needed but the loose silk
lining which is q feature of the ordi-
nary skirt.
Nevertheless. two smart models for
petticoats are very alluring. One for
evening wear Is of white glace, silk
edged, with three pinked-out frills.
and draped with deep fiounce OF
ecru point d'esprit net, run with
satin ribbon and tied at intervals with
rosettes of the same. For morning
wear with tailor gowns. petticoat
OF glace silk, bordered with one deep
godet hounce and strapped with silk
to match, is quite the right thing.

A WOMAN RAILROAD PASSENGER
AGENT.

The first woman to be employed as
a passenger agent by any railroad has
just been engaged by the Louisville,
Henderson and st. Louis road. to COW
er the city of Louisville. She Is Miss
Elvira Sydnor Miller, who Is fairly
well-known as a writer In the South.
The general passenger agent of the
road, who engaged her, has done so
with the idea Of beating out his COM
petitors in the race for the patronage
of women who travel by having the
merits of his own railroad presented
to them by a woman and also by
learning at first hand the kind of
railroad accommodations that women
want.

A DOG AND A WRECK.

Many a life has been saved BY a
Newfoundland dog. but dog never did
drawer deed than one brought to re-
membrance by story In Our Dumb
Animals. The incident occurred some
years ago.
A vessel was driven on the beach OF
Lydd, in Kent, England. The sea was
very high. Eight men chung to the
wreck, which was every moment In
danger of going to pieces. No boat
could get through the storm to help
the dpspairing sailors. and 1t looked
as if they would drown before the
eyes of the watchers upon the land.
Presently a gentleman come along
the beach accompanied ~ his New
foundland dog. The gentleman G.-ect-
ed the animals attention to the vessel,
and then put a short stick In his
mouth. The dog at once compre-
hended his masters meaning and
plunged into the sea.
Bravely he fought his way through
the angry waves, but he could not
get close enough to the vessel to de-
liver that with which he had been
charged. The crew. however, under
stood what was wanted, and making
fast a rope to another piece OF wood.
they threw the wood toward the dog.
The intelligent animal at once
dropped his own piece of wood and
seized that which had been thrown to
him. Then he started for the shore.
Again and again he was lost under
the waves. but with almost incredible
determination he held on to the stick
and dragged the rope through the
surf till he delivered it to his master.
A line of communication was thus
made with the vessel, and every man
on board was saved.

OF his adoption. The actual emerald

He hurried down to the brook In the

Then he started again for the woods.

Reindeer Flesh For Food.

FANCY EFFECTS IN vEILINGs

An effort is being made this season
to introduce fancy effects in veilings.
They are rather odd and pretty, but
the style is too pronounced to find
favor with the really well dressed wo-
man. The bright colored veilings
will not be worn over the face, but
will be tied around the hat with a
loosely draped effect. The fashion of
wearing two wells still obtains for
some occult reason. One Of fancy ma
terial is simply tied around the hat;
the other, which is usually complex
Ion veil, is worn over the face.

A LITTLE GARDEN
A little garden. prim and square.
Has little owner. sweet and fair.
A little garden hedged about,
With little beds and walks laid out:
Where little hollyhocks. grown tall.
Stand close against the garden wall,
And up their slender stalks there
twines
A host of morning-glory vines;
Where little roses, from their trees,
Send spicy calls to little bees.
And little daisies. pink and white.
Crowd little bluebells, blue and bright
Where little pansies, put between
Verbenas red and white, are seen,
And all around the border set
Are little plants of mignonette
Alyssum, heliotrope together
Run riot there in summer weather;
And pinks and asters. lovely graces,
Fill up the little garden spaces;
And little butterflies that fit
Complete the dainty charm OF 1t.
All, little garden, well know
What little maid. not long ago.
Plucked all your choicest buds to be
A little nosegay just for me!

BLACK AND WHITE IN SUMNER

BLACK AND WHITE IN SUMMER
Combinations in black and white
are in much favor with Parisians at
the present date. Already another
combination is taking the place of
this-namely. black and small pink
roses. Large toques, made entirely
OF black tulle. or sprigged net closely
gathered. and with rolled brims, have
round wreath of small pink roses
placed on the top of the brim, or else
circlet of these flowers around the
crown and semi-coronet Of the same
on the hair.
The shape turned down in the neck
behind does not suit every taste, so
many Of the new models Of hats with
wide or medium brims have the back
Of the brim bent backward In the
middle. Shapes treated in this way
sometimes have cache peigne" Of
roses underneath, while others trim
med with ribbon have this carried
back and knotted in 9 bow with the
ends underneath the brim.-Millinery

FOR SOUTH AFRICAN GRAVES.

The Loyal Woman's Guild has been
started at Bloemfontein. In the
Orange River Colony, South Africa, to
trace out and care for the graves of
soldiers killed in the war by disease.
The undertaking is huge one, there
being in Bloemfoutefn alone more
than two thousand graves, and hosts
OF heartrending letters from moth
ers and relatives are being received
constantly regarding the last resting
places Of their dear ones, and they are
eager to send funds for the care of
them. AS soon as peace Is restored
the guild will start branches in all the
small villages for the gathering of
necessary information. which will be
sent to the friends of the dead SOL
diers from whom letters are received.

The suzsraiLty Of the Sultan

After the French invasion of the
country in 1881 the treaty Kasr-
