WHO WILL GET THE PAPER?

We have two dogs at home = one
small, curly-heared little fellow that
we call Nero, and another large dog
that we call Jack. Now, in the even
ing the carrier would leave us a pa
per and each dog would try to get it
first, both would run to the door at the
same time, when they heard the bell
ring, so we'll do they both like
to please their master. Jack is larger
and stronger than Nero, but Nero is a
fierce little fellow, and he would growl
at Jack and snatch at the paper so
quickly that there was but small
chance of Jacks ever getting it. But
Jack didn't like for Nero to have all
the petting, so he tried to find some
way in which he could get the paper
first. At last Jack found hole in the
corner of the cellar, and through this
hole he went and crawled around the
yard, and under the gate, and to the
front steps There he sat down and
waited for the carrier to come. Then
Jack would take the paper and bring
it into the house. and keep it till we
came home, though Nero would try
hard to get it away from him.

But Nero caught him one night and
after Jack had crept through Nero fol

the gate and away down the street, and
waited at the corner till the carrier
came. Then Nero took the paper and
ran under the gate into the yard, then
into the cellar, and SO up stairs and

While Jack was waiting on the steps
the carrier came but left no paper. Sc
Jack ran after him, barking and pull

without the paper. He crept in under

Jack had to run away and hide in the

BOYS AND GIRLS OF JAPAN.

AS we pass up the streets of Japan
we notice the little boys and girls at
play. They carry their little brothers
and sisters on their backs, sometimes
in the fashion of our American In
dams. The little ones laugh and coo
and seem to enjoy their outings very
much. Some Of them are asleep and
rest quietly in spite of the somewhat
boisterous play of their nurses. We
babies has its advantages. They get
the fresh air and the best of care,
while their little nurses get their
shoulders braced back, and some valu-
able lessons in patience as well.
We see the little tots, two years and
upward, with their dolls strapped to
their shoulders in imitation of their ell
ders.
AS we pas on we. see the children
running to meet a little man carrying
a queer looking outfit. When we come
up we find he is the griddle cake man
aid has the entire kitchen with him.
He has a stove and a jar of butter, and
lets the children dip the batter on the
griddle, turn it, and bake it. OF course
they enjoy the eating Of it the best.
We also met what the children call
THE boiled sugar man." This man
carries all sorts of little moulds and a
jar of boiled sugar and makes sugar
cats, mice. dolls, kites, horses and ell
Sort. of toys. He lnoulds these as the
children want them, and drives busy
trade as long as the children have any
pennies
The unfortunate ones without mon
cy follow him from street to street
With longing looks, to no avail. He
sells for cash only.
The children all wear wooden shoes
and make a great clatter as they pass
a chance to develop.
The Japanese always take off their
shoes on entering house, least they
wear out the mats and rugs, which
take the place of carpets.
