movements more or less irregular. Toward midday
there developed considerable animation in a few OF
the copper stocks, which tended to break the mo-

DOROTHY AND FIDo.

Fido was the name of dog that
lived on the farm where Baby Dorothy
was spending the summer with Aunt
Gertie. Fido and Dorothy were great
playmates, because Fido was so gentle
and seemed to know that Dorothy was
only a little bit Of girl. She could
not run like the older girls and boys
SO she and Fido would roll over and
over on the grass and play together In
the woods.
One morning when baby went out to
have her usual ronp with Fido she
found three little puppies running
around and having glorious time.
chasing one another across the grass
She hurried back to the house and
told Aunt Gertie what she had dis
covered and asked for q biscuit for a
breakfast for the puppies. but one lit
tie fellow only smelled of the biscuit
and would not eat 1T. Aunt Gertie ex-
planned that the puppies were too
young to eat biscuits. so Dorothy gave
the biscuit to Fido. who finished It in

DOCTOR BROWN.

am going to tell your a story about
Doctor Brown, not man doctor like
the one who comes with his bottles
and his powders to make you we'll
when you are sick, but new kind
that I don't believe you ever heard Of
before. This story began in house,
cleaning time. when the carpets were
up and everybody was as busy as
could be. Ruth would have been busy
too helping do all sorts Of things If
she had been well but she had gotter
up that morninp with a sore throat, SO
instead Of being at work with the
with her playthings and she was
about the lonesomest little girl you
ever saw. Just after dinner there was
a ring at the door bell, and in came a
bright faced young lady, carrying in
her hand, what do you think, a tiny
fluffy brown chicken for Ruth. That
ended the loneliness for that day for
chiclkie stayed upstairs with her and
the long hours fairly flew. She fed
him bread crumbs and gave him a
drink from a toy saucer. When he
grew sleepy she rolled him up In big
soft piece Of flannel and put him tc
bed in shoe box. When mother
came up to say that supper was ready
cried merrily. Mother / just believe
that my chicken has made me well
and think we will have to name him
Doctor Brown. So now you know
who Doctor Brown Is. He had not
made Ruth quite well that time, but
he came often and as mother said,
Ills bill didn't have to be paid

TANNING ANIMALS.

Tommy Merton lived on a farm
where there We're great many horses
and pigs and cattle and sheep. He
had never seen any wild animals. but
he had read about them, and he
thought that 1t would be a good thing
to catch them in the woods and tame
them. Mr.. Barlon said If you want to
tame animals you must be good to
them and they will not be afraid of
you. A few days after that Tommy
pocket. and went out to see II he
could find some animals that he might
tame. Tommy was sitting on the gate
by the barn. He saw a pig which had
run away from his mother Tommy
called pig! pig! pig! come and get
some bread. Tommy ran after the pig
and caught 1t by one Of it's legs. The
pig began to squeal so loudly that it's
mother came running as fast as she
could And as Tommy turned around
lis foot slipped and he fell into the
mud. The pigs mother came up just
as Tommy was trying to get up She
rolled him back into the, mud She
left, him there, kicking and crying. "a
large flock of. geese happened to be
coming across the road just Z at that
time. The young! goslings were
frightened and ran back. making "a
great noise. But the old gander who
was the leader of the flock flew at
Tommy's legs and pecked him several
times with his bill. Mr. Barlon said
don't remember that ] ever told you
to catch little pigs by their legs.

JUNIOR STORIES.
THE scHooLMATEs.

Once upon time there was three
schoolmates. Their names were
Charles, William and Harry.
They all had finished Penn college
and had good education. One day
they got to talking what they was 60
ing to be. William says, TIN going to
study law" Harry says, I'm going
to see the world and enjoy myself
while I'm young" Charlie did not say
what he was going to be.
Charlie had fallen in love with one
Of his schoolmates and had married
settled down to be good man.
Harry had forged e note and was
put in Jail for it.William was the turn
key. He recognized Harry, but never
said a word.
Harry's mother had baked a cake
and put a file in it and gave it to Harry
in the evening. Harry filed his way
out that night and escaped.
The next morning William went to
give him his breakfast, but he was
not there. 1t was Williams duty to find
Harry. He remembered an old cave
they had hid in from Indians when
they went to school. He was going
there.a.s ~. ss j,
But after Harry got out of jail he
went to his sthoolfiate Charlie 8 home
and asked his wife II Charlie was
home. She said,s "No, but I will tell
him when he comes home" Harry
said, Gould have his coat?" The
woman gave him his overcoat and
Harry left. He hid in the cave but
no sooner got hid than here came Will
liam. William said. 20, hate to, but
it is my duty to take you back to Jail"
Harry replied. "You will never take
me back alive" William says, 81 must
take you back and If you do not sur
render before count three will shoot
you" They both had gun. He began
to count three, one, two, three and they
both shot. Harry had shot William
first and he managed to get up and
put his coat over William.
When Charlie came home his wife
told him all about it. He went to the
cave and there they both lay lifeless
on the ground. William was dead and
Harry's heart was beating family. You
can guess what Charlie did-gathered
up both schoolmates and gave both a
Christian burial.
