His Little Girl.

Many people live on top floors who
never expect to get any nearer to
heaven. But that was not the reason
why Tom Cross and his family lived
on the top floor. First, at least so
Tom Cross claimed, they lived under
the roof because he needed the exer-
else the six long flights of stairs gave
him. His wife, Maggie, was sickly,
pale, little woman, and never came
down stairs. So Tom had to run up
and down and do all the errands and
marketing. And it agreed with him,
for in all the ward there was no finer
specimen of manhood than big, six-foot
Tom.
But what Cross did not say was that
they lived on the top floor because
the roof permitted his wife to get at
least some Of the fresh air she needed
so much. A home made hammock and
a few flowers betokened the place
where the poor invalid inhaled the
miserable substitute for invigorating
mountain air.
And then, Of course. there was the
necessity, for, with all his strength,
Tom Cross earned very little as truck
driver. He was a good man in his
calling and no exception to other
truck-drivers in the use Of forcible
and convincing language, and was not
thought capable of emotions. But
Annie, his little daughter, knew differ
ly.
In the morning before going to his
work, he would take the little tot on
his knees and sing to her innumerable
times, "Goodby, little girl, good-by."
And Annie felt that big heart was
in the big body of her father.
And on that morning they had sung
again, "Good-by, little girl, good-by,"
and Annie had watched her father
jump on his truck and drive around
the corner, waving his hand to her.
Tom Cross looked splendid, handling
his horses like a master, and Annie,
proud of her great, big, rough father,
leaned too far out of the window, lost
her balance, and
Tom Cross had turned the corner
and did not see the little heap on the
pavement stones. 1t all was driven
into him with the brutal force of di-
rect evidence when he returned at
night and almost stumbled over the
little body lying in the small room.
He listened to the story, his right
han1 resting on the curl-framed fore
bead before him, attended to his wifes
wants-and went to the roof.
The wife was nonplussed and was
glad to admit neighbor, who came
to offer help and comfort.

HASH.

The ordinary beef hash, which is
hated by everyone living on boarding
house fare, will change its entire char
acter if bread crumbs instead Of pota-
toes are used in its makeup. The
potatoes minced together and moist
ened become soggy and make this dish
heavy and unpalatable. Use bread
crumbs grated from loaf that Is too
stale to serve on the table. The pro-
portion is a cup of these to every two
cups of meat Season thoroughly with
salt and pepper. A tiny pinch of
thyme or summer savory is a good
addition. Use milk as moistening, but
not too much. An egg, though un'
necessary, will make the hash richer.
Mix three cups of finely chopped ham
with the same amount of toasted bread
crumbs, add two eggs and one-half cup
of milk. Pack in a baking pan, cover
the top with cracker crumbs and bake
for half an hour. This is nice served
as breakfast dish with poached egg
on each side.

Little Travellers.

little bug on my handi"
Papa looked up from his paper and
saw that the little white object that
Bobbie was holding was a little seed
traveller. 1t had circled in through the
window and was resting on his hand
very lightly, as If 1t were ready to fly
away again.
THAT is a little traveller" said papa;
and then he blew ever so lightly, and
the little whirling thing rose, and be-
ing caught by the draft Of the window,
sailed away again.
Where is the little traveller going,
papa?" asked Babbie.
ITO find his new home" said papa.
you know that his mother has been
wise enough to start him in the right
way. At first their home was low
down in the grass, close to the earth,
and there they lived in small. round
yellow house. You call 1t dandelion,
but it is little home full Of brothers
and sisters. Now this seed family
have work to do in the world. They
must go away and flnd a place for
themselves, where they can bloom,
and SO make a new home. The mother
dandelion knows that IL they live so
near the ground the seed babies will
not be able to catch the breeze as it
passes. SO when the time for them TO
go draws near, she runs up on long
stem, and so lifts the whole family up
into the sun and air, where the seed
children may see the world, and 20
away to make home for themselves.
THE wise mother dresses them all
in white, and Of the thinnest material,
so they will be as light as feathers.
81 think she even kisses them good
bye as she lets them slip out of the
home, and when the breeze comes by
they sail up, up, and out Of the field
and away over the hill until they come
to some nice soft earth, and there they
fall down and cling to the soil snugly,
and hide until all the snow of winter
has passed. Then they begin TO grow,
and make a dandelion of themselves
and a lot of little seed babies of their
own"
Il am glad we put that seed baby
out of the window" said Bobbe. Nov
he can find a place for his home
Perhaps it viii be right under your

and Wnere is tne fatner!
"Ill call him." and Maggie, weak
and frall, dragged herself to the trap
door of the roof.
The night was cool, and Maggie just
peeped out from the scuttle.
Yes, Tom was there. He was sitting
on the stone coping, his feet dangling
over the side of it, looking unsee-
ingly ahead of him. And more, he
was not mourning, not brooding, but
singing:
"Good-by, little girl, good-by!"
She heard him distinctly, and hur-
ried back to the room.
Hes upstairs-praying," she an
nounced to the visitor, consoling her
self with the hope that lie under
these circumstances would not be
scored against her.
II was long after, and Maggie was
lying on the bed, when he came to the
room. He made her comfortable,
Strengthened the pillows-and went
back to his quiet, little pal" but he
had ceased singing. He stepped very
close to the little handful, bent to her
lips, and just whispered, "Good-by, lit
tie girl, good-by."
Trucks and horses do not wait for
little girls. Next morning, and all the
mornings thereafter, Tom Cross drove
his team around the corner; but he
never sang the old refrain agan.-La-

Ancient City Unearthed.

What is supposed to be the anci-
ent Agysimba Of Ptolemy. has been
discovered in southern Rhodesia.
Ruins of a city of considerable ex-
tent in which the houses were OF
stone have been unearthed in tho
Umtall district. There are ancient
forts and affairs near the city, and all
bear the impression of extreme age.
Evidently the forgotten city was
built by some race other than the
one now dwelling near the ruins.
The stones of houses, walls, and al
tars are laid without cement and
resemble "cyclopean" structures
found in Central America. The ar
chaeologists are now arguing as
to whether this was indeed the city
spoken of by Ptolemy or one still
more ancient, built by a lost race
which once inhabited this portion
of Africa and arrived at a considera-
BILE degree of civilization-New York

Useful Hints.

Red cabbage is a vegetable which if
used rightly is very good.
1t is no longer the fashion to serve
oysters with lemon quarters.
II you have a jardiniere OF ferns, be
sure to give them plenty of water.
Charlotte Russo is one OF the easiest
as we'll as one Of the best desserts ever
invented.
An apple and cress salad, which is a
Norman preparation, may be welcome
at this season.
Plates decorated with Mother Goose
pictures and nursery rhymes are now
made to please children.
French dressing is much improved
for some salads by the addition of a
tablespoonful or two Of catsup.
A good authority on Wilton and AK
minister carpets tells us that they
should never be swept with straw
broom.
A French cook recommends the use
of bit of butter when boiling fresh
vegetables. 1t whitens the water and
makes the vegetables more tender.
Some housekeepers put a peeled
onion inside fowl that is to be kept
for any length Of time. This absorbs
germs that would otherwise infect the
meat.
Canaries are fond of green food, and
when lettuce is scarce substitute is
offered in little of their favorte seed
planted in small fowerpots and al
lowed to grow.
And if only one or two rugs can be
bought at first, choose soft. rich tones,
which will harmonize with everything,
and patterns which are good, but not
very striking, and you will never tire
Of them.
Sour oranges may be utilized in
delicious salad. Slice the oranges not
too th;r. and remove the skin. leaving
the pulp in small triangular pieces.
Serve on lettuce or crisped watercress,
with French dressing, or white mayon-
naise.

From the Chicago journal, Nov. O,

1905.)
When Commissioner Garfield went to
the Chicago packers and asked permis-
sion to inspect their books, the condi-
ton was made that no information he
might obtain iharefrom would be used
In court proceedings against them.
Mr.. Garfield gave this pledge, it ie
stated. and the packers allowed him to
study their business in all its details
from the inside.
Now, II is announced, the results OF
his study have been turned over to the
Government department of justice to
be employed in legal prosecution of the
packers.
Commissioner Garfield would not
have ventured 10 give the pledge that
was demanded by the packers without
instructions from Washington. He
pledged. not his own word. but the
Governments. II Is not his good faithr
but the Governments, that is In Ques~
ton now.
The Journal has no concern for the
packers, except as they are citizens or
Chicago. If It can be proved that they
are guilty of engaging in conspiracy
punished.
But their guilt, II they are guilty,
must be fairly proved. They must be
given square deal.
Since the Government has elevAte6
Its vision to such a height as to over
look the nest of defiant criminal truste
