Story for the LiA2eSt Ones

Two little mice were told by their
parents to stay at home and be good
while they went out on business But
getting tired of their quiet home they
went out for a walk After some tray
cling the little mice found in a pantry
big bowl of milk. CHOW, " said the
bigger one, ''see what we've found.
Let us have dinner. 'sYes," said the
other, ''mama always said if we left
home we would starve and get into
trouble. | think grOWn-ups don't know
so much. after all. " Il think so, too, -
said the other So they drank as much
milk as they could and sat down to rest,
and laughed to think what fun they
were having. Presently a grandmother
mouse came hurrying along as best she
could. Little ones, said she. ''you
must be far away from home, and there
are cats about. You had better scurry
home as fast as you cam" And so
saying she hurried along. ''More old
folks advice, said the bigger of the
two little mice, and they proceeded to
drink more milk. When they had
drank so much that they were satisfied
they looked around and big black
cats stealing toward them. The little
mice could not run away they were so /
full of dinner, and they remembered |
their parents advice too late, And so
the disobedient mice were killed, and
when their father and. mother went
home and found them gone they searched |
for them, and some one told them the
cats had eaten the little mice all up. So |
you see what happens when little ones
don't obey their parents cheehully.

and the gaiety and brilliancy of the
whole scene. The vista at the begin
ming or the end of one of these
streets is charming. On one side
there Is the sea; on another a monu-
mental mountain whose abundant
waters shine like jewels in the rays
of the bright sun.
Down in the splendid gardens of
the Villa Nazionale, where, amid
white marble statues copied after the
great masterpieces of Greece and
Rome, and under the shade of palms
and cedars and semi-tropical plants,
rich and poor may wander. Over the
low sea wall to the left the tiny
waves of the Mediterranean may be
seen gently caressing the shore and
making murmur rather than a
splash. Between the dark branches
of the thickly planted ilexes you get
glimpses of the sea, and beyond in
the shining distance the dream-like
form of Capris high hills form a
darker blue outline against the blue
sky. To the stranger who dwells in
Naples for short time the Villa Ma
zionale. with its silent charm and
with all that induces to feed the
imagination, becomes a place of re-
sort.
There are other resorts for the
tourist in search of the picturesque or
historical. On the side Of hill over
looking the city, and surrounded by
choice gardens, stands the Palace of
Capo di Monte, charming spring and
summer retreat. 1t was built for
King Charles ILL.,, who reigned here
from 1874 to 1859. But perhaps the
most pervading of the memories that

as few scenes do that meet the eve
of men. Forms and colors harmoniZe;
a dreamy haze, luminous and tender,
enwraps the scene. The thoughts go
wandering vaguely over the expanse
of sea, and away to the right in the
know that there lies that wondrous
revelation of ancient life-the resur-
rected city of Pompeii.
The character of the population in
its diversity is indicated by the va
rious buildings of the city. Here,
close to the royal palace, rises the
Theater San Carlo, huge, grandiose,
stately and heavy with the weight Of
its wealth and dignity-a grand tenn
pie to the lyric muse. However 1t
stands in comparison with other the
aters, it is noble structure without,
and within It's six tiers of boxes, its
wide proscenium and spacious stage.
make it one of the finest theaters in
Europe, while its musical record goes
from the early half of the eighteenth
century to the present time.
There is much that is peculiar and
picturesque about this people. They
group admirably; as you pass along
the poorer streets and come upon an
open sun-lighted space you find the
women sitting around the shop doors,
engaged in work or indulging in Cos
sip. Here, in such streets as this,

BRlTAIN's. OBJECT IN TIBET.
Permanent Establishment Of Mission
in Lhassa Probable.

There seems now to be little ques-
ton as to Englands intentions toward
Tibet. For a moment it looked az
though the British army invading
Tibet might be withdrawn when the
government at Lhassa refused to ne
gotiate with Col Younghusband; but
the present intention of the English
is to avowedly push on to Lhassa no
matter what the cost. The Dalai
Lama should have sent his represen-
.atives to meet the English mission
at Gyangtse, but he seemed deaf to
his opportunity" and must now suf-
fer the inevitable consequence of not
needing ''the knock upon the door," 1t
will probably alter the entire future
of Tibet.
That the final advance to Lhassa
will be bloody there can be little
doubt. The forces of the Tibetans
now arrayed against the English num-
Der about 5000, and are said to be in
creasing. Reports tend to show that,
although badly armed and handled,
they are brave and stubborn, and that
there will probably be 10000 men in
the field to oppose the British march
to the sacred city. The Tibetans are
also receiving heavier ordnance from
Lhassa, and many of them are now
using rifles of superior European
make, which fire express bullets hav-
ing range up to 1,400 yards. That
the peaceful mission" has turned
into an army of invasion is evident,
and that England will be disposed to
hold Tibet to account for war in
demnity Of some kind is not among
the improbabilities. The London pa
pers are already mentioning the estab-
lishment of a permanent mission at
Lhassa, and the exaction of guaran-
fees that British rights" be strictly
observed in the future.

I So all agreed who rode down town

She entered the car at Seventy
second street. Every seat was taken,
and almost every strap had man or
woman suspended from it.
She looked about hesitatingly for an
instant, but every man was interested
in his paper Then she took hold of
strap almost in front of young
man, very young man, who was
blushing guiltily as he pretended to
read.
While the young man blushed and
the woman thus hung, her handker-
chief fluttered, accidentally to all ap-
pearances, to the floor. The young
man looked up just then and saw the
white bit of cambria. The feeling of
chivalry which he was evidently try
ling to stifle would not be suppressed
longer.

This was the woman's opportunity.
While his back was turned she gently
