The WhisDery bird,

When daddy and l 20 a-walking in spring.
We listen and listen to hear the birds sing.
The robins and inChes and kinglets I've heard,
The warblers and thrushes but never a word
No, never a chirp-from the "whispery bird"
I've often thought over the birds that know
To see ii there's one that would probably go
And whisper 10 mamma OF me on the sly,
But not one would do it; they are all so shy.
Though creep "a them softly, away they all fly.
Yet each Of the secrets that my mamma knows
A little bird told her; now which, do you spos'
Unless it's real little whiepery bird,
Who has to 60 tattle whatever he's heard
And can't keep secret not even a word?
] think he's a creature who never goes south
And has for beak just commonplace mouth,
With ears grown so big he can use them for wings
He's not nice birdie that chirrups and sings
Bat just stays in corners to listen to things
II ever find him, I'm satisfied that
1t wouldn't be naughty to call in the cat,
But while am looking the very best way
Is Just to be good as can every day
30 the whispery bird can have nothing to say.

A GIRLS EVENING DRESS.
A Pretty Gown, Cost S1-IIow TO BuT
and Now to Ninlse Ii.

There has never been time when
simplicity has been held to be more
adorable than at prescnt-simplicity
when utilized in connection with youth
says Il writer in The New Idea Nyo-
mans Magazine in preface to the fol-
lowing little story of "a One Dollar
Evening Gown"
One Of the dearest girls in the world
she is my neighbor, and we are on
rather familiar terms-has been be-
wailng her lot, for she has been obllg-
ed to refuse an invitation to a summer
resort for fortnight for the simple
reason that she has nothing to wear
for evening.
Now, q grown up woman who needs
certain things according to the mode to
fifty adorn her cannot imagine why a
young girl with fair face, bright eyes,
a 1.-THE figure and n general composite
of youthful attractions must remain at
home from an outing among even pre-
tentious people simply because she has
no evening gown. SO we forthwith
solved the problem.
No one knows better than grown
up woman that youth is the adornment
of the gown-not the gown the sole
adornment of youth. This last is the
foundation of the proposition of an
evening dress for the sum Of 81. When
my neighbor goes away, she will pack
in her trunk among all the girlish at
tire two muslin gowns, each one Of
which cost not more than the trihing
sum mentioned-gown which she made
with her own hands and in which she
will appear at the evening dances.
One Of the gowns in question is a
white dimity, having a tiny polka dot
of red. The dlmity cost Z cents yard
and ten yards were required The red
was selected because it belonged with
her special type, which is dark hair
and eyes and complexion to CORR
spond. Yellow would have looked equal
ly well perhaps, but we chose the red
because it Is her favorite color. We
had a choice of printed batiste at 9
cents and also Of cotton crepon at the
same price.
The first thing to be considered in
this gown is the petticoat to be worn
with it. 1t must be trained skirt Of
exactly the same length as the outer

Kate, the little striped cat that has
been pet at the Tenth street Union
station for the past year, for n week
now has been tenderly caring for an
adopted family consisting of three
mice. The little cat was picked up on
the street about year ago by Night
Waterman Timmons. Since then she
has been the common property of every
one at the station. She is unusually
small for a mature cat.
About two weeks ago Kate had her
first family of kittens. and she was
very proud of them. While she was
out foraging stray dog happened in
and when Kate got back she found
only the lifeless remains of her little
family left. She gave many signs Of
her grief for about a week.
Then some of the workmen at the
station who We're tearing up the floor
uncovered a nest of mice. The old
mouse was killed, and Kate was called
to make a rich meal off the three mice
that were left. She answered the call
of the men, smelled the tiny black mice
and rolled them tenderly about in their
nest; then, one at a time. she lifted
them and carried them carefully into
the baggage room. The adopted ones
were deposited in Rates basket in the
baggage room, where they have re-
manned ever since.
The cat seems TO take as much pride
in the mice as she did in her kittens
and spends most of her time nursing
and licking them.-Cleveland Leader.

A GOOD NATUREO BOY.

Our little Leon was lad
Whose heart was kind and true;
With play he oft was busy, for
lie found so much to do.
Now, Icons wagon (called express)
Was used by all the boys;
1t was so strong and handsome and
The chief Of all his toys.
His papa's lawn was overrun
By playmates great and SMALL
His toys were taken, lost or smashed,
But he cared not at ALL
And when the big boys came to play
And promptly took command
He proudly did their bidding with
willing heart and hand.
For II he Jagged or protest made
And said, II guess l won't"
This dneful threat soon conquered him:
Wen go home if you don'tl'
One day. with troubled look, he said.
why, boys, what can playf"
For in the wagon one boy sat
In grand and proud array
And drove with whip and lash and strinxs
A fourin-hand OF boys,
Who, prancing, stamping, kicking, made
A vast amount Of noise.
They held consultation: then,
With condescension kind,
They said, you be the little colt
That runs along behind
So down the dusty street they tear.
Each strives his best to do,
While wAInnying. cspering, far behind,
Tie little colt goes too.

ONE DOLLAR ENENlNG GOWN.
skirt, so as to give the latter sufficient
body to hang just right. Fortunately
she possessed such a skirt; but even if
she had not we should have pieced
down one TO make it do or we should
have applied a circular trimmed flounce
of muslin to an ordinary petticoat.
Then came the dress skirt. 1t was a
simple affair with a demitrain and
trimmed with a circular hounce. We
bought some baby ribbon at a cent
a yard, to sew on the edge of the
flounce; but even If we had had no
ribbon the gown would have passed
muster. OF course the ribbon improved
1t.
The waist was the simplest affair
nary waist pattern, allowing extra goods
in the back and front by laying a fold
in the goods before placing the pattern
and then rounding out the neck in a
semidecollete fashion. There was no
lining in the waist, merely a ribbon
ruching around the neck. The sleeve
was simplicity itself, mere cap of a
sleeve made to fit the shoulder closely.
The sleeve might have been made In
a puff, but the severe sleeve was the
choice of this particular girl. An elbow
sleeve is also appropriate. We had 80
cents left with which to purchase
the ribbon.
My neighbor plans to wear a white
silk sash with this gown, because she
has the sash, but belt of red ribbon
would answer every purpose.
The other gown is cheap dotted
muslin in white and also cost cents
yard. 1t IS reproduction of the first
gown in style of making, with the eX-
ception of the pulled sleeve and a
change of color in the ribbons.

A Life Saving Dog.

How a mongrel good for nothing
dog, cur Of the streets, saved a mans
life was lately recorded by the Louis
vile Courier-Journal.
Louis Carr was painting the rear Of
a vacant house in Louisville. AS tho
noon hour approached he was at work
at the very top of his ladder, Just under
the caves. Being in haste to finish his
work and not wishing to spend time
in going down to move the ladder he
stretched as far as possible to one side.
Just then he felt the ladder slipping
away from him and, as the only means
of saving himself, he dropped his brush
and seized the gutter with both hands
Down went the ladder and there the
painter hung, 80 feet from the ground.
He shouted for help, but no one heard
him-no one but a dog, which came
round the corner in answer to his cries.
Evidently the dog took in the situa-
ton at once. He barked furiously.
winding up with a long howl. Then
he ran out of the yard and across the
street to police station. There he
barked, again, and then ran back TO the
yard. He did this two or three times
till the policeman began to see that
something was the matter and followed
him to the rear of the house.
Then it was but the work Of a mo-
nent TO put up the ladder and rescue
the painter who was ready to drop
from exhaustion.
No owner could be found for the dog,
and Carr adopted him as his own.

with great force (nearly 10 pounds to
