R0MPE0 WITH HIS SHADOW.
Jack Had Lot Of Fun with a Strange

Jack was little white puppy; he had

serve as a playmate for little boy.
The little boy was al the seashore, so
Jack was very lonesome Il wish

out in the back yard for run. 1t was

could never get one step ahead Of the
little black shadow puppy. They tried
digging in the flower bed to see if any

black puppy stood right beside Jack
and seemed to dig just as he did.
They didn't find any bones, but they

THE LITTLE WORDS.

You'd be surprised, I'm sure, to know
How far a little word can go,
How many miles it runs away
Up hill and down, single day;
How many angry hearts it wakes,
How many pleasant friends it makes;
What very wise things it can tell,
What very simple ones, as we'll;
How very busy, brave and true,
How very false and lazy, too.
&c. take good care before that word
BY anybody else is heard
That it shall truly worthy be
To join a happy company
OF helpful words, that march with grace
And bear sweet sunshine in the face.

FRANKS OF A MONKEY PET.
Acted as Laundress and Performed
the Duties Of Assistant to
the Family Cook.

Monkeys are the most initiative of all
the lower animals, and sometimes this
propensity for initiating the doings OF
their betters gets them into rare mis-
chief, as the following experience of
London lad with pet monkey, whose
inquisitive and initiative nature made
him the pest of the neighborhood, bears
amusing testimony.
One day this monkey observed the
maid washing the lace of her mistress.
He very obllgingly offered to help her,
but was angrily repulsed by the maid.
The monkey stopped for few minutes,
At a safe distance, to give the maid
we'll deserved scolding for her rudeness,
and then started out evidently intent on
finding other laundry work to do The
result of his sudden intrusion into the
field of John Chinaman s labors can best
be told in the lady's own words:
Unfortunately" she says. "the win
dows of my room were invitingly open,
and he entered with the idea of the
washing still fresh in his head. He soon
discovered two small drawers contain
ing lace, ribbons and handkerchiefs. All,
here was the washing all ready to his
hands! In moment all of these ar
ticles were out Of the drawers and into
foot pan, together with all the soap
and water that happened to be in my
room, and the laundering began. He
must have washed away with great
vigor, for when returned to my room
after an absence of an hour or so, found
him busily spreading out to dry the torn
and disfigured remnants of my lace, rib
bons and handkerchiefs. He was we'll
aware that he had done wrong. Without
my speaking to him he made off the mo-
ment he saw me. going very quickly and
hiding himself in the case of the kitchen
clock in his own home"
Another time this same monkey saw
the cook at work preparing cartridges
for dinner. This looked like an amusing
and interesting operation, and he deter
mined forthwith to put it to the test
There were no more cartridges; but ah
yes, his mistress had some pet bantam
fowls! Doubtless one of them would do
equally we'll. At the first opportunity
be hurried out in the yard, seized one
of the hens, quickly returned to the
kitchen and then coolly began pulling
out the feathers, just as he had seen the
cook do, utterly regardless Of the
sQuawking protests Of the poor bantam.
The servants heard the noise and hur-
ried to the kitchen, but they found TIE
hen in such a pitiful condition that they
were obliged to kill her.-N. Y. Herald.
