Mary and 'Trot.
BY A. p. WALLS.


When I lived In Colorado little girl
named Mary who attended the school near
my home lived two miles away. There was
no road nor path to guide her across the
plain. not even a bush or tree. Mary was
about eight years old She had a shaggy
shepherd dog named Trot that came with
her every day and waited for her until
school was over. Then he would eaper and
bark they started OF together for home.
Mary" I said to her one day. why DO
you bring your dog to school? He cannot
learn to read and WRITE
oh" said Mary. II do not bring Trot;
he brings me. I could not find the way
alone"
How did Trot learn to fnd the way"
asked, and does he never get tired OF
waiting and go home without your
1.-The first time we CAME replied Mary.
father came with us. When we reached
the school / gave Trot a piece OF meat. and
more. No one ever feeds him but me. The
first two or three days we had to tie him.
II he should 60 home without me father
would bring him right back. and that night
But we have no trouble. He likes school
as well as l do; he even wants to come
Saturdays. Mother was afraid to trust us
at first. but coaxed SO she said We might
try IT."
One day about IL o'clock the wind
clouds began to gather. Children who have
never seen a western wind storm can hard
ly imagine what 1t is like. In Colorado It
the sand Is very dry and light. The wind
lifts II up from the ground and whirls it
round as II it were raining sand. It
chokes and blinds you. Sometimes the
wind is strong enough to take the houses
and barns with Il. Indeed, the people
often build the houses only one story high,
80 that the wind may be less likely to blow
them down.
On this day the teacher saw the clouds
gathering. She closed the school and sent
reach shelter before tho storm broke +.
too, noticed the darkening skies, and
thought at once Of brave little Mary hast
ening to the school I found that Mary
have sent some one after her, but no one
knew just the way Trot was accustomed
to go.
Soon the storm came; the wind howled:
the sky grew dark and the sand whirled.
Poor little child. alone on the vast prairieI
How would she survive tho fright even II
she were not entirely lost? As soon as the
wind subsidized got on my horse and rode
to her home to find IL she had arrived.
Mary met me at the door.
WELL am glad to see you safe" said ].
do you not think" said Mary's mother,
that dogs know as much as some people?
Mary and Trot were about half way home
when the wind commenced to blow. There
Of the way they always take home Trot
took hold of Mary's dress and led her, for
the sand blew so in her eyes she could not
see where she was going. They cuddled
down In the dugout together until the
storm was over"
This Is a true story OF the Colorado
plains, and Mary and Trot came to school
together for months afterward.

Where Princeton Got Its Yell and
Yellow


One old story is that the yell of "Hooray.
hooray hoorayi Tigeri SIss-boo-ah! Prince
TONI was adopted because there had been
a successful experiment in chemistry. the
siss-boom- being the rise, report and
downfall of a rocket. This theory Is not
commonly accepted as true. What did rise
to the cheer was during the civil war. The
7th Regiment of New York was on It's way
to Washington to report for duty. The
Princeton cheer was then the especial cry
of the regiment. and in the excitement Of
the moment the students returned to the
college shouting the yell, and have ever
since made use of II.
A further cheer sometimes used by the
Princeton boys Is called the '92 class cheer
Hobble gobble. razzIe dazzle siss-boomahl
Princeton. Princeton. rah-rah-rahi
No college has so vital connection with
our national history as Princeton. The or
ange of Its banner was adopted as an honor
to the house OF Nassau. The governor said
at the time of the removal of the college
to Princeton. in 1853: Name IL Nassau
Hall, In honor to King William III, who, as
a branch OF the iIlustrous house Of Nassau,
delivered the British nation from slavery
and popery."
Black was added to the orange of the
house of Nassau simply by way OF contrast
as background to the orange.
The most curious of the college cries il
that OF the University of Illinois:
Rah-hoo-rah. zipboom-nhl Hip-zoo, rah zoo,

A Famous Drummer.

Perhaps you have all heard of the great
composer and musician, Haydn. When
Haydn was a schoolboy he was great
drummer. and was always chosen when
professions were IN progress. AS he was
much too small 10 carry a drum and beat
81. Il was mounted on the back OF an equal
~ small hunchback who marched In front
OF Haydn. Is It not strange that in all the
band the drummer Is the one who attracts
the greatest attention. and the crowd is al
ways thiCkest around him2 The whole
crowd must have been around Haydn when
he marched through the streets with his
hunchback carrier in front OF him. beating
the drum with the same fervor with which
he l3ter composed his great oTatorios.

Picture Post Cards.

The invention OF picture post cards has
been traced to a German, Herr Franz Be-
rich. who first gave the post card. as we
know It. to the world In 1870. Herr Borich,
who died short time ago at Nuremberg
was a painter, and IS said to have started
this modern craze by reproducing some OF
his own pictures on post cards IN that year
The Idea. however. is much older than this

Where Nicotine Got It's Name.

You have, heard the story of how the
sailors under Columbus were astonished to
see the smoke issuing from the nostrils of
the natives, and found it was caused from
the combustion Of the plant tobacco. On
their return the tobacco was introduced
into Spain and Portugal, and later into
England by Sir Walter Raleigh In 1850
Jean Moot. who was the French minister
at Lisbon, learned the use OF tobacco from
a merchant from America. On his return
to France he presented the weed to the
queen, and 1t soon was known throughout
Europe. From Moot It was called 'Iherbe
nicotine" or nicotine weed" the name
that has come down to us

A school custom In Mexico.

II school girls father or mother dies
her companions put on mourning for fifteen
days. II the girl herself dies the whole
school wears mourning for month. When
ons visits a family that Is mourning the
visitor must go dressed in the same SOM
Der fashion. Otherwise he would be re-
garded as a very ignorant and heartless
person. The result of this universal Gus
tom makes the people very somber- looking.

How TO EconomiEe on the Use Of

HOW 70 EconOm1Ee on the Us0 81
Coal-BuildinE Fires.
One Of the most fruitful sources Of
household waste and extravaganza Is
the coal bin, and tons Of fuel are used
where a single one would give the
same results. Open drafts and a range
full to the covers Of glowing Goals not
only burn q needless amount Of coal.
but burn out the range at the same
time. A shovelful Of coal or sufficient
to lightly cover the fire will accom-
plish IS much as q half scuttleful, ex.
eepting in the increase Of the coal
mans trade.
For q small range nut coal Is best;
for q large one, small egg coal Red
ash coal makes q hotter fire, with
fewer cinders, than the white ash, and
the latter burns more slowly, Fos
these reasons an equal mixture Of the
two is a wise economy. The ashes
taken from the fire should never be
thrown into the can until they are
sifted. The cinders thus obtained can
be used on the fire at times when the
greatest heat Is not needed. But they
should always be added after the fresh
coal 10 well aglow.

ing work, whether or not the fire has
been kept overnight, Kerosene should
never, however. be poured directly into
q stove, either from the cup or can.
The best way Is to lay the wood on
q shovel and cover 1t there with the
OIL and then add z ~sprinkling to q
shovelful Of coal. Many housekeepers
insure their kitchens against accident
from this cause by leaving a part Of q
cupful Of oil for the servants use and
locking the rest in the storeroom.
