IT'S well to speak in kindly gniSe,
And soothe where r we can,
Fair speech should bind the huma
mini,
And love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with language dwell
For he who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs as wei.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those who talk yet fail TO do,
Bat build upon the sand.

POPE LEo's DUMB FRIENDS
Herd OF Deer and an Ostrich Fam
lily, Are at Home In the Vat
ican Gardens.

An archway adjoining the observa-
tory leads to new phase of the
rapal pleasure ground, the purely
pastoral and domestic, for here a
varied collection of animals have
their home, all of them presents to
his holiness on his different jubilees.
Most beautiful and graceful of these
dumb friends and dependents are the
herd OF small deer, mild-eyed and
gentle, that come racing down the
slopes to gaze doubtfully at the
stranger.
Only the boldest of the herd ven
ture near enough to thrust their soft
noses through the wire netting Of
the inclosure to beg daintily in the
plainest possible language for "just
a handful of freshly gathered grass
and clover. The slightest movement
startles these timid creatures, and
in an instant they are gone, feetly
as the wind, back to the farthest
Businesses of their domain from
which no grassy wiles can lure them,
yays Donahoe's Magazine.
There is nothing left but to pro-
ceed to the next inclosure, where a
long-legged ostrich family share spa
cious quarters with magnificent
pelican. This venerable bird, with
much self-consequence, struts to the
front and assumes the honors of host
to all visitors, without the least re-
gard for his imposing companions,
who, standing coyly and almost apol-
ogetically in the background, crane
their thin necks for possible pieces
of bread.
The attendant, If there are ladies
In the party, usually offers an ostrich
feather as a souvenir of the gardens.
Now, If one is of an arithmetical turn
Of mind and begins to calculate how
many feathers are given away in .
year 10 visitors, the result gives .
surprising deficit of feathers. the
wonder being that the ostriches still
possess so much of their soft. downy
coats of gray.

He stood upon the railway platform

day afternoon, when the western hyer
stopped to let its mighty engine take
breathing spell and quench its thirst

"a the seat-weary passengers who
stepped out to stretch their legs by

betokened hearty welcome TO the

story proved.
Fixing his attention on one particu-
lar passenger who may have seemed
to him more receptive than the others.
he opened the conversation with the
query:

On receiving an affirmative reply, he
went on:
