We girls organized a club and kept it up faithfully
for about a year. We had many jolly times, but the great
est fun was in keeping the many secrets which the club
guarded well. One Of the secrets Of the organization was
the way in which we initiated our new members. We had
purchased a half-dozen hideous false faces with wigs OF
different colors, and among then. was one especially ugly.
The face had a long, crooked nose and the wig which ac-
companied it was fiery red. We took especial pride in
popping this one on timorous new members at initiation
and ~beholding their dismay. These wigs were guarded
very carefully, and we prided ourselves on having found
something new and novel. Our club is a girls club and
the boys begged entrance for some time, but at last they
decided if they could not enter ours, they would start one
for themselves. They did organize a club, and what was
more, contrary to custom, they sent all of US girls elab-
crate invitations to their initiation, said invitations be-
ing decorated with wigs, one a fiery red. over an ugly
face. We were all very much dismayed and a meeting
was called Immediately; but we decided to accept. When
the evening came, it found us all waiting expectantfy in
the large parlor at the home Of one Of the boys. Our
hosts finally came in and an elaborate program was ren-s
dered. Es was followed by the initiation when, to our
amazement, a half-dozen boys came trooping in, wearing
our wigs! We tried not to show our amazement, but the
boys saw that their joke had not taken well, SO they con-
fessed everything, how by much planning weeks ahead,
they had finally secured the wigs. We were served a five
course dinner and by the end Of that we were able to
think Of it as a joke. We are now not 50 particular in ex-=

I once owned a small red hen with beautiful colors,
and she became one of my favorite pets. never Thought
of feeding her with the rest of the chickens, but would
always eau hr 70 me ana let hr PeTch on my arm ana
for all the world, but the rest of the people only laughed
at me for thinking 50 much Of a chicken. One morning
| went out to feed my chickens and when I neared the
coop, began to call my little hen. TO my surprise, she
did not come. / fed the rest and went into the coop to
search for her. It was no use to look, for there was no
chicken there. I had let the chickens out the day before
and thought maybe my little hen had not gone in with
the rest at night. I ran down the alley to look for her.
Suddenly / heard a short cackle and followed the sound
behind a small shed. There, stuck fast between the
shed and some boards, was my little red hen. | tore the
boards away at once, thus releasing her, and picking her
up, carried her to the coop. She seemed to be as glad to
be found as I was to find her. After that I was very
careful to see that my little red hen was in the coop at
night, for I did not want to have another fright like that
one. John Campbell,

A REAL "wIsH1NG sToNE.o

One day last summer I was walking thru the woods
when I saw a little red stone in the path. 1 had wished
for a knife for a long time and just as I stepped on the
stone I saw a knife in the grass. The next day I went
to bring the stone home, but it was gone. I looked all
around but could not find it. I think some one found the
stone in the path and threw it some place where no one
will ever find it. But I hope some day I shall find it
and if / do I shall take it home before anyone else gets
1T, because / might want knife or something and I
should like to have the red stone to wish with.

Tom and Dick, two boys 8 and 10 years, were out in

%Btrutting along, as proud as tho he were master of all
the fowl family. Tom said Dick, "IH wager you
my knife that you don't dare chase that old gobbler.'
Tom was a small boy and wore a red blouse. He did not
know that turkeys do not like red. Don't darel Who

a stick and started after the turkey. The gobbler ran
and Kissed for a little way, but suddenly turned around
face to face with Tom and saw the red blouse. Then it was
Tom turn to run. Around the barn they went. Dick
was enjoying it immensely, but when Tom came around
the third time with the turkey still after him, he thought,
Il guess I'll have to help him. He joined the race
and finally came between the turkey and Tom. .tNow,
hide yourself, Toni! I, he shouted, and Tom was only too
anxious to comply. Dick found Tom hiding in a barrel
and so frightened that he could hardly speak. His first

HOW CARLYLE SNUBBED THE
THE PEACEMAKER.

zone of the charms of journalism"
said the famous historian, Justin Nc
Carthy, not long since, lis that 1t
brings you into touch with the MASTER
minds of the time. London as first
knew it was a time of great figures in
English letters. Macaulay, Dickens,
Thackeray, Tennyson, Carlyle, Brown
ing, George Elliott was a day of
splendid stars. Macaulay had just died
when I came to London. and I never
saw him, but of the others whom
have mentioned I saw a good deal. Just
because I was young, and perhaps a
little nervous, Carlyle rather frightened
me. He was certainly overbearing in
manner, though it may have been
merely manner; he was dogmatic and
loud in his way of talking. William
Allingham, the poet, who was a great
admirer and constant visitor of Car
lyle, and one OF the sweetest, mildest
men have ever met, told me an incl
dent illustrative of Carlyle's habit of
breaking out in denunciation of some
body or other. One day when some
people were dining with him, Carlyle
fell to denouncing Gladstone in I'M
measured terms. Allingham, thinking
this might offend some OF those pres
ent, ventured to demonstrate: Don't
you think, Mr.. Carlyle, that something
might be said on the side OF Mr.. Glad
stone2' To which Carlyle, turning to
the poet, made answed slowly; Aye,
aye, William Allingham, ye're jist the
most contradictions man I ever met.
Man, we would contradict anybody
about anything I need hardly add"
concluded Mr.. Mccarthy, that after
this poor Allingham remained silent
and crushed" Mr.. McCarthy's recol-
lections of many of dominant figures
in English literature and politics dur
ing his lifetime, form a delightful feat
ure of his famous History OF Our own
Times, which has just been completed
by the addition of Vols. ~ and "

The recent speech of Judge Alton B.
Parker in Charlotte, N. c., in which he
suggested that the South assume the
leadership of the Democratic party and
name the standard bearer two years

south of Mason and Dixon's line for a
candidate in 1908, Senator Bailey is not
the most available man. While no one
has as yet posed as the father of the
Bailey boom, and nearly every one be-

the South will accept the suggestion Of
