WHAT ONE WOMAN IS DOING.

An American woman, Mrs. Conover.
widow of former secretary of the
United States legation in Madrid and a
long resident Of London, has been doing
good work in Paris. 1t is generally
known that the Paris cab drivers are or
have been VIGOROUSLY cruel TO their
horses and unskillful in their craft The
visitor to the French capital endures
many shock before he becomes callous
to the sufterings of the unshod horses
which fall at every turn on the slippery
asphalt boulevards and are dashed in
cessantly by their drivers. When Mrs
Conover visited Paris, she chose not to
become calloused. She talked about the
cruel treatment of the horses, she wrote
to the newspapers about it, she tried to
organize a citizens movement in protest
Finally she induced the chief of police
to issue an order for the arrest of driv-
ers naltreatng their horses. Then she
went to the streets and began to watch
for offenders. Her orders for arrests
were obeyed, she became known to every
driver, public interest was aroused and
sentiment was enlisted on the side of
laws long dormant. Since then a great
banquet for the $4,000 cab drivers has

A REAL LITTLE FAIRY.


If were a little fairy,

/ would charm away all sorrow
And pain and suffering too
Food [ would bring the hungry,
Clothes to the ragged give,
And the weary and homeless Wand'rer
In dear little house should live
If I were a little fairy,
This world should be, oh, so bright
For I'd chase away the darkness
And make it heaven of light!
The Sun should always be shining,
All sin and sorrow should cease,
And every one should Ice happy
And live in plenty and peace.
Yet though I am not a fairy.
But only poor little maid,

Come into this world of shade
Dear mother calls me her fairy,
Her own little sunbeam sweet,
And so l will try to bring gladness
To all the sad faces l meet.
