A Little white Donkey.

At our cottage by the sea, we have
a visitor, and you would never guess
who or what it Is. so I'm going to tell
you-it's a little white donkey. And
this is how he came here: Another
doctors family had the cottage last
summer, and they brought Snow
white" with them for the children.
When they left he was put in charge
Of some people that have simply let
him run wild and homeless. So, while
he feels that this is his home. and
wanders around the place, he neverthe-
less shuns us all. AT least he did
until the little incident occurred Of
which / am going to tell you. One Ing
day the rain came down in torrentss
1t fell in sheets, mott in drops, and was
day when man and bird and beast
would want to be under shelter We
boys and girls, were having a jolly time
indoors, when suddenly one of us saw.
Snowwhite ont i'm the driving rain.
Instantly our sympathies were with
him, and beforemany minutes we were
armed with rubber shoes, rain-cloaks
and umbrellas, anda-I was about to-
forget the most important part-hand-
fuls Of lump-sugar. We trudged
through the high field grass until we
were within a. few feet of SnowWhite.
His back, was towards the wind, and
his head hung, low in the grass, but as
we approached, he. kept his heels tor
wards us, and So. fDr several minutes
we circled around, him. Finally, with
gentle coaxings and a show OF the
sugar, we won his. favorable notice,
and he. came towards the ontstretched
hands So enticing him. we led him
into shelter under the house and
there, with the sugar; he was Well CON
tent until the rain was over, when me
wandered out again. The next day
he. came WINNING to- the back porch
and we answered. by giving Him more
sugar. Now he is al regular visitor,
and he always gets his sslgar. He
/ liEess us SO WE'LL that we cam din all
most anything with Mnr- except talk
| about his ears which are, very, very
big. That topic mothan babe us avoid,
as donkeys, she says, are always sem
sitiye on the subject. We tried to test
his sensitiveness ON two occasions, but
he raised those big ears and ap-
preached us in so threatening man
ner that now we are polite enough not
to mention them att all Perhaps you
doubt this about the ears, but indeed
it is as true as what they tell you
about the peacock. 1t. yoa know, is
very proud Of its fine tail, but it is
equally ashamed of It's ugly legs. You
have only to stand before one at the
Geological Garden, and say: "oh, what
ugly legs!" and the peacock will
spread out it's glorious tail to make
you forget them.

Their Birthday.

Their Birthday.
I've a secret to tell you, Dolly,
Let me whisper it in your ear
Tomorrow will be our birthday,
Your birthday and mine, my dear!
AS soon as the sun peeps over
The hill where the blackberries
grow,
III be eight years old, my Dolly,
And you'll be one, you know.
Don't you remember, Dolly
I'm perfectly sure you do
When I woke last birthday morning,
The first thing / saw was you? 4
You sat on the edge of a workbox,
Waiting, you lovely child,
And when you saw / was looking
You stretched out your arms and
smiled.
And you're just as lovely as ever,
Though your curls are very thin,
And your poor legs Wobble sadly,
And your left eyes falling in.
So, If tomorrow morning,
Another doll comes here,
Well treat her well, but she'll never
Take your place, my dear!

THE ICELAND PONY. (
without Him tho Country Would he
impossible to Live In.

Without Him tho Country Would he
impossible to Live In.
While there are camels in the des-
ert, llamas In Peru, reindeer in Lap
land, dogs in Greenland, and caiuues
among the Eskimos, Iceland will have
it's ponies, who on those "pampas of
the north" will still perform the SER
vices done by the mustangs of the
plains OF Mexico, the horses Of the Tar
tars, Guachos, and even more than is
performed by any animal throughout
the world, says the Saturday Review.
Without the ponies Iceland would be
impossible to live in, and when the
last expires the Icelanders have two
alternatives either to emigrate en-
masse or to construct system of high
ways for bicycles, an undertaking COM
pared to which all undertaken by the
Romans and the Incas OF Peru In the
same sphere would be as nothing. No
Icelander will walk a step if he can
help it; when he dismounts he waddles
like an alligator on land, a Texan cow
boy or Guacho left "afoot," or like
the Modes whom Plutarch represents
as lettering on their toes when they
dismounted from their saddles and es-
saved to walk. Ponies are carts, are
sledges, carriages, trains, in short, are
locomotion and the only means Of
transport; bales Of salt fish, packages
of goods, timber projecting yards above
their heads and trailing on the ground

Mrs. Hampton thought her decision
strange indeed; it was the young wife's
first evening in her husbands home,
yet she preferred remaining in her
rooms while he was downstairs.
Shall I take that message to the
earl?" she asked.
Lady Caraven looked up in some sur
prise.
'"Oh, nor she replied. Lord Cara

And the housekeeper, who was a
shrewd woman in her way, thought it
seemed strange kind of marriage

up and down the river when he goes
to market. Mr.. Lee has to go six miles
down the river to his postofice and
it is a hard pull against the current
coming back, says the Chicago Trib-
une. He noticed how swiftly alligators
swan, and 1t occurred to him that II
might be good idea to turn the alli-
gators that abound in the st. Johns
river to some account. He captured
a pair Of young gators and raised
them in his yard. He taught them
to swim and drag a weight behind
them, and he also taught them to turn
either to the right or left by pulling
ropes fastened to their teeth on either
side. When the alligators were big
enough, he put harness that he had
constructed on them and harnessed
them to his boat. They swan well
and pulled the boat through the water
at good speed. by pulling on the
reins that passed through the mouths
of the gators Mr.. Lee was able TO
turn the strange water team in any
direction he pleased. Me. Lee made
a point of never feeding his aIlfgators
until after they returned from trip,
when he would Immediately reward
each one with fine meal. The alliga-
tors seem to be willing to- perform
their task of pulling his boat, and
when he turns them cut Of the PEN in
which they are stabbed and starts them
for the water they shuttle down to- the
boat In the liveliest style. and after
they are hitchsd they plunge into the
water with grunts OF delight. MIR. Lee
says his strange team has never run
away nor Kicked out the dashboard OF
his river craft, out that they have one
fault, for which, however,. he does not
blame them. They sometimes sweep
their powerful tails in al curve through
the water, and once smashed one OF his
boats into small bits and threw Mr.:
Lee and a party that ha. was ia king
boat-riding into the river. They
would all have been drowned had mt,
the alligators swan back to them and
permitted the party to, climb on their
backs, after which the a1ligators swan
swiftly to the shore and all OF. the par
,ty were saved Nj. Lee now bitches
his team twenty feet In front Of the
boat, so that the sweep Of their tails
will not enaanger the craft. Mr. Lees
success has created great interest
among all Of his neighbors, and now
many alligators, are being. trained for
duty.
