Her Little Fellow.

What funny creatures mothers are!
/ sometimes laugh to see
For all my bigness and my age
How mine locks after me.
She wants to warm me when I'm cold.
To dry me when FIN wet;
do believe she thinks me just
A little fellow yet!
I got a bump at ball one day
That knocked me rather fiat,
But If we, had not lost the game
I'd not have minded that,
And when they brought me to the door
I saw her eyes were wet,
So am sure she thinks me just
little fellow yet!
FIN not a schoolboy any more,
With satoheT at my back;
1t won't be many years before
I don the haversack.
FIN going to Join the volunteers;
My father was a wet,
And surely then will not be
A little fellow yet!
OF course. although she thinks me this,
1t does not make it so;
I'm big enough and strong enough
AS some, reckon, know,t
But. then one feels 50 small inside
To think she can forget
Or can't believe that ram not
A little fellow yet!
All. well, the mothers good as gold
And kind as kind can be;
There's no one else in all the world
That's half as kind to me.
So let her think 1t if she will.
When I. too, am vet"

Travels of Miss Mary Green.

Travels OF MISS mary UFeeh.
Miss Mary Green is a rubber dell
who appeared one day late last fall in
the postoftice at Winchester, Mass.
On her dress was fastened a slip Of
paper which read: 1.-The climate of
New England is too severe for this
child. Please pass her to the Pacific
coast for the winter" Some friendly
clerk put a stamp ON her dress and
sent her to Montana. From there she
went to California, then to British Co
lumbia and from there to Ottawa.
Each postoffice clerk seems to have
enjoyed her society as long as he
pleased, then pasted stamp to her
gown and sent her on.
At Denver she evidently attended
banquet of the mailing clerks and had
some new travelling garments given
her. Her dress is said to be covered
over with postage stamps from various
offices in the United States, and
around her neck are tied several
"poems" written in her honor. She
also wears newspaper badges from
many different states, showing the
honor with which she was received
at THE various literary banquets which
she had attended. From Ottawa she
brought back tag which proved 10

Birds That Can Talk.

Professor Scott of Princeton says
that wild birds sometimes introduce
