AN EVERY DAY GIRL.
Edna, Her Uncle and the UnIearned
Zoology Lesson.

1t was all my fault so you mustn't blame
Edna; and yet somehow I don't think
youth blame me very much either. 1 hope
you won't, for / want you to like us
Edna and me.
Edna Is thirteen with the most glorious
mop of chestnut hair you ever saw. 1
am three times thirteen with no hair
worth mentioning-especialIy on top.
On formal occasions am Edna's Uncle
John a very grave and dignihed person
Ordinarily she addresses me as Uncle
Jack, but on the frequent larke we indulge
in together, the irreverent girl actually
calls me Uncle Johnny! To go back to
what started In to tell you: One morn

my cigar with Edna's papa, 1 went up
stairs and knocked on the door of my
niece's little study room. Come in" said
a disconsolete voice.

chair and text book with its pages much
rumpled lying on the floor. Whats the
trouble this tuner asked. Geography
or ancient history?''
It's zoology, and oh! Uncl Jack, just
hate zoology" said Edna, plaintively.

Several curious things happened to
Ribon Taylors Animated Mother Goose
Wax Figures before they sailed for Eu
rope, and this seems to be as good
chance as any to tell about them.
1t had been planned at first that when
the train that was carrying them came to
the Harlem river, Robin Taylor and
Mother Goose and the rest were to take
a transport around to their steamer,
which lay in the North river, but Red
Riding Hood wanted TO gee Central Park,
and as soon as she said Central Park
nothing would do but the whole com
pany must go there. e-. Ff.p ..--a.
Robin was a little afraid to lead such
a large party of peculiar looking people
through the streets of a big city, and
small wonder, for it is against the laws
of New York to dress up in what is call
ed a disguise. And If the costumes of
Mother Hubbard and Mother Goose and
the rest did not look like disguses moth
ing ever did-not to speak OF the two
giants Cormoran and Blunderbore who
were logged out in most ridiculous
clothes Why, 1t looked like a fancy
dress ball, and Robin was very much
afraid that the police would march them

my goodnessr' said he. THE steam

lieve we can catch it If we walk How
can we get there?"
Then the giants showed how useful
they could be on occasion.
Cormoran said: II can carry all of you
men and women if Blunderbore will at
tend to the animals"
Never thought Of that" said Robin.
II certainly haven't time to hire auto
mobiles and carts, so we'd better
scramble up"
Red Riding Hood and the rest of the
girls, with the exception of Cinderella,
occupied his right hand coat pocket. 1t
was dark and musty, but safe. The boys
of the party, Jack and Tom Tucker and
the rest chung on wherever they could
get hand IN a button hole; and the ell
derby people like the Sprats and Mother
Hubbard, got into the left hand pocket.
The animals were disposed of in SIM
liar way except those that could fly. The
VOLTS cage was slung on Blunderbore's
back and Robin sat on the top Of it. All
were now disposed of except Mother
Goose and Cinderella, but the old
goose came waddling up at this juncture,
and his broad back provided room for
both.
The captain of the steamer expected
them, of course, but time and tide wait
for no man, and he did not mean to wait
a minute beyond the time of sailing. The
last whistle had sounded, the visitors
were all off and the gangways had been
Withdrawn, when down the string piece
OF the wharf, pfiung and blowing after
their hard run, came the giants. They
stepped upon deck from the wharf, hav-
ing no need for gangways, and at the
same moment Mother Goose and Cinde-
rella alighted from the gooses back and
the last ropes were loosed, the great
steamer began to back out into the North
river, the band struck up and the journey
was actually begun.
The goose stayed with the party until
they reached Sandy Hook and then he
flew back to Central Park and IL you
succeed in finding him there be sure to
ride on his back. If you care for that
sort of thing. l4..

Goose and the rest you must await

all off to jail. AS it turned out, the po-
lice seemed to understand that it was
really Mother Goose and her companions,
any they were very kind and cleared a
way in the pressing throng for them to
walk down to Central Park.
The giants marched at the head of the
procession, and they looked so exceed
ingly ferocious that there was small dan
ger of the mob misbehaving. There was
one venturesome urchin who flung a stone
at Red Riding Hoods Wolf, who was in
a cage on wheels. Quick as wink Blum
der bore picked him up with one hand and
put him in at the open window of a
fourth story fiat and as the door happen
ed 10 be locked on the outside, the bad
boy was compelled TO stay there several
hours until the man who lived in the room
came home from his work and unlocked
the door. You may imagine his surprise
at finding boy ia his room. and when
the lad told him that a giant had put
him there for stoning Red Riding Hoods
Wolf the man Odd not believe him at all
but spanked him and then told him TO
run along.
Robin was very much afraid that the
giants would do some damage to proper
ty. 1t would have been so easy for them
to pull up lamp posts by the roots or to
pick up a trolley car and put 1t in some
body's back yard, but Jack the Giant
Killer had given them a pretty stiff talk
ing to before they left the train, and they
were as meek as lambs.
Cinderella and 30 Peep and Red Riding
Hood wanted to stop every few feet and
look in at the shop windows, but ROBIN
was afraid that they would be late for
the steamer II they did not hurry to the
park. so ne urged them on. He often VISA
ed that he had a wishing carpet, but
wishes are not horses, and Robin pos
sessed only one little power. He haA
brought these figures TO life from the
wax into which they had been turned
long before by wicked magician, and he
could turn them into wax again, but for
the rest he had TO do like other folk.
They were all extremely disappointed
in Central Park. You see, most Of them
had been born in the country. and what
is Central Park or Boston Commons or
Lincoln or Paramount Park but a slip
of country set down in the city? The trees
and grass did not appeal to them They
wanted to 20 back 10 the streets and
TO look at the elevated trains and the
troleys and the stores. But Robin knew
that they would be Interested in the an
finals, so he took them over to the mena-
gerie. o.-. ....
On the way there was queer thing
happened. There was an old goose wad-
ding around with flock OF ducks on the
shore OF the lake. and when Mother Goose
saw her she uttered cry OF delight and
said:
That's my goose. l want to wander"
And as soon as that goose heard her
voice II gave a squawk and tapped its
wings and came flying over 70 her.

what will become Of my business I don't

"Poor, old Uncle Johnny" murmured
Edna, coming up TO pat me softly on the
cheek.
Then she threw me a kiss from the
doorway and went running down the
street, quite confident that would turn
up and save the situation. - --

the donkeys?"
Mother Goose said: ITS a capital idea.
I'm sure that my goose would like the
exercise" And q. the goose nodded his
head three times, which was as hear as
he could come to saying yes.
And from that day on the goose became
one of the attractions of the park, and
those children who have ridden up into

most delightful sensation and that it only
costs ten cents. But as for me give me

When Robin saw how comfortable the
wolves in the park were he wanted to
leave Red Riding Hoods Wolf as a pres
emit to the menagerie. but the Wolf
strongly objected, and, strange to say,
Red Riding Hood objected also She said:
We've been together so long now that
I'd really be lonely without the Wolf.

turned in a southerly direction. Robin
feared that he had seen the last of them,
which would have been serious, as Moth

The papers next day had articles in

OF Musical and Terpsi-

The Carnival of Musical Romances
and Terpsichorean Revels, that will be

liant affair, participated in by the most
prominent local musicians and society
people. More than three hundred peo-
pie will take part in the production.
The rehearsals have been going for
ward diligently since the first day af-
ter deciding to put on the production
and Mr.. Coates and Director Agostini

class talent which they have secured.
They are confident of the entire success
of the undertaking and assert that the
entertainment will please everybody,
especially the music-lovers OF the city.
All the selections are from the most
popular operas of the day and those
best known to the public.
The Carnival is the most %pretentious
home talent entertainment ever at
tempted and will undoubtedly be one
of the best. That it will enjoy good
business from the box office point Of
view Is undoubted.
There will be a full rehearsal Of all
participants at the Opera House to-
morrow night at 7 p. N. prompt. Every
participant must be present.

A PITCHED BATTLE

Between Two Women Created Ex-

Night.
After the close OF the performance
at the Grand Opera House last night
there was an exciting incident on the
sidewalk. F. Harnig came out of the
theatre and walked down Twelfth
street in company with Anna Smith.
The wife of Mr.. Harnig. who has
been living apart from him for some
time, espied the two and attacked the
girl. at the same time loudly accusing
her of writing letters to her husband.
A crowd collected and the W women
scratched at each other until they were
separated, while the mar in the case
disappeared.
AN officer placed both under arrest
and they were walked down Chapline
street to the police station. The wife
was dismissed and a charge of disor-
DERBY conduct was placed against Anna
Smith.
