AND OUTDOOR GIRL,

Of the entire family of children at
the white house unquestionably the
greatest popular interest attaches to
Miss Alice, who, at the age of eighteen
years has just made her formal bow
to society. Miss Roosevelt is tall AMI
slender, with an oval face, clear-cut
regular features and complexion and
coloring that strongly resembles Ger
fathers. Her profusion of blonde
hair is worn pomadour style. In
many respect she fuliills her fathers
most cherished ideals, as may he
imagined from the fact that one OF
the most flattering compliments re
ever paid to her was when in talking
to a friend the president said, ''She
is a girl who does not stay in the
house and sit n rocking chair She

often takes romp of several miles At

ISADORE'S LAST EXCUSE

In one of the West Side schools OF
Chicago, says the Chicago Tribune, a
teacher in the primary grades had had
great difficulty in impressing on her
pupils the necessity of bringing writ
ten excuses when, for good reasons,
they were absent or tardy.
One of the families was that of a
little boy named Isadore His parents
had been in this country but a short
time and did not understand the
American customs, but finally the
teacher, after several calls, succeeded
in impressing on them the import
ance of what she asked.
Two or three weeks later Isadore
was absent for three days. The
teacher made up her mind that some
thing serious must be the matter. The
boy was a bright and willing pupil
and she had become much interested
in him. Finally on the morning OF
the fourth day another pupil whose
parents lived on the same block with
Isadore came up to the teachers desk
when he reached school in the horn
ing and handed up tear-stained and
dirty little piece of paper
Dear teacher" it said, j.? painful

A glimpse of meadow through an open
A dark head bent above an ancient

And all is glorffed whereon L look.

Closed to the light that once wide

A shadow rests upon the ancient book,
And all is desolate wherein look
All, o1d-time author! were the tales

Bearer than friend, than touch Of

Has she but sought you in another
land?
Her dark head lies beneath a carven
stone;
Through the slow hours l work and
wait alone;
Awake Adream, l see in yonder nook
A thin hand laid upon an open book.
The frail pale fingers fade in dust
away.
And yeti see them in the twilight's
gray,
When dusk yields mysteries to each
questioning look.
Gently caress her treasured, olden

Yet since We left me, void the world

Irksome the task-it fails-I can but

In fond expectance on thy olden book
Dearer the book than human to thy

From thy lone grave thou com'st when
shadows start;
Vainly | wait, vainly | long and look;
Thy thin hand touches but an olden

Yet time preserves this faded, olden

And cheats with shadow-hands Loves

Trouble in Pronouncinq French.

The difficulties of pronunciation
which the English language offers to
foreigners have been amusingly Illus
trated by several correspondents in
the discussion of cough" But French
is almost ually confusing from a
different reason. We pronounce The
same combination of letters in many
different ways; the French give the
same sounds to words which differ
totally in photography. Even a native
of Blois can make no distinction of
sound between the six words. "Sain.
Saint, Sein, GENT, Seing, Cinq." A
sentence with which Frenchmen often
puzzle strangers is, 'tJe sails que c'est
sur ces sept sales que Say cessait ses
essais." Howell in his Familiar
Letters" complain bitterly of the
thorns in the path of Englishmen who.
with good book knowledge of the
language, endeavor to understand
spoken French: 'NThe Tongue differs
so much from the Pen that they have
exposed themselves to this con-
tumelious proverb: The Frenchmen
doth neither pronounce as he writes.
nor speak as he thinks. '-London

MESMERIZiNG A ROOSTER.

] knew a little boy who used to per
form this trick very successfully. He
Lad a bright young rooster, of which
he was very fond, and which he often
brought into the house.
He would hold the rooster on his
lap, and with a piece of chalk draw
lines from the tip of it's bill to the
back of it's neck pressing very lightly
with the chalk.
At first the rooster would appear
sleepy, and then would nod it's head
very drowsily, and finally to all ap-
pearaces go fast asleep.
If put upon the floor the rooster
would remain standing, but with it's
eyes fast closed. Then the little boy
eyes, and it would stretch it's neck
and crow a great many times, as if
the sun were just coming up, although
it's eyes were closed all the time.
Then this young mesmerist would
lightly tap the ROSTERS bill and spurs
Immediately ruffle his neck feathers,
flap his wings, thrust his spurs and
go through all the motions of fur
ious fight
He would keep this up until stopped
by being lifted from the floor and then
set down again.
When the little boy would give the
usual call which summond the chickens
to their meals the rooster would try
his best to pick holes in the floor
thinking he was making a fine meal
of corn. If a few pieces of grass were
brushed against his face and some
bottoms dropped upon his toes he
would scratch away at a great rate, as
if doing his best to destroy a garden
Doesn't it seem surprising that a
rooster should have such an magma
ton?
The rooster was awakened by strok-
ing the feathers on the top of his head
backward and then giving him slight
jolt and setting him upon his feet.
1t is curious that the more he was
mesmerized the easier it became and
the more things he would do. And it
did not hurt him in the least. He grew
so large and handsome that he was
finally sold for fancy price.-Quincy

CAUGHT JOCKEY AT LAST.
Boy Who Wanted All the Money Gets
Cents in Place of Dollars.

Boy Who Wanted All the Money Gets
Cents in Place of Dollars.
There was one little riding boy
down there at Gloucester about q
years of age, who required the coin so
bad that he got into the habit of going
after it with a pitchfork and a dog
catcher's net. His idea was to get all
the money in the world cornered," says
story teller in the Chicago Inter-
Ocean.
He was great jockey-one of the
best that ever shook poker dice. He
could take horse out of the shafts of
a hardware delivery wagon and nurse
him home at 200 to l, or write your
own ticket, and he could on the other
hand, choke to death a 1-to-15 thing
that the owner had mortgaged the old
manor house upon.
He was hard to buy. You'd say,
5000 for this and he'd chew a blade
OF grass and gaze dreamily at the blue
sky. Then you'd bunch it along to
$500 for the job, and he'd reach over
and pluck straw out of the bale and
look the other way.
Then you'd mention $4O0, just to
see how he took it, and he'd say that
he had date with his wife in Camden
to buy hat. Then you'd indicate
$500 as your outside figure, and he'd
yawn and tell you, that, really you
ought to be running a sweatshop.
