STORIES ABOUT LITTLE FOLK.
Curious Ideas That Youngsters Get in
Their Heads.

Children get strange ideas some
times-almost as strange as their eld-
ers. There lives little boy on the
south side who is fond of the delicate
flower-embroidered upholstery of the
parlor chairs. Not so very many days
since great fresh roll of yellow but
ter came from the country and at.
tracted the baby's eyes. He is just
cid enough to toddle around alone and
put his fingers in every pie. BY some
unaccountable means he got handful
OF butter. and few minutes later the
mother was Mortified to find each par
lor chair nicely buttered. He had
found both pretty and saw no reason
why they shouldn't go together.
He was not unlike the little girl
whose mother found her before the
parlor lace curtains. scissors in hand,
busily cutting out all the roses of the
pattern "tause deys SO pity"
These stories were told in gather.
ing of mothers the other day, and then
the young mother of a three-year-old
daughter chimed in:
We'll, let me tell you what my Sal.
lie did. heard great crashing in
the dining room and went out to find
two broken pitchers at Sallie's feet
and a third one in the air ready to be
brought down. l grabbed her and
cried out:
Why. Sallie. what are you do

Piled, unconcernedly.
Her father thought it was funny,
but well. I'll bet she'll not break
up housekeeping very soon again

having been invented on this side Of
the Atlantic. The novelty OF having
the whistle and the figures is distinctly
German invention.
The majority of the cards are direct
ed to New York City to relatives of the
senders and were meant for Christmas
remembrances. The steamship Kron-
prinz Wilhelm brought large number
OF them to the city when she arrived
during the week. The idea is the same
on all of the cards. though the figures
are different, and are made to suit
different occasions.
That they will be copied in this coun-
try is without doubt, as they have al
ready proved very popular from an
amusement point of view with those
who have seen them. though it will
probably be too late to make them in
sufficient numbers for the Christmas
trade.-New York Times.
