over that we had to cross stream, OF
and soon came to a place where there
we're a great deal Of flowers: We all ran
to get some Of them. Daisies honey
suckle, and the pretttest fern you ever
saw. we all gathered large bunch Of
them, and as It was beginning to get
dark we went back to the place where
We had left our other comrades. We
found them waiting for us. Taking our
baskets, flowers and all our belongings we
got into the wagons and started home.
We were very sorry TO. 20, and the chill
dren said 'of all the picnlcs we ever
had that was the greatest. We reached.
our homes a. little after dark, and were
soon in bed and fast asleep.

While she was wandering further out

would sit down. When she sat down she
slipped off and dropped all her matches.
While she was picking them up a man
passed her on horseback and he tapped
her on the head. She jumped up and
said. What" 1t was SO near dark that
he had to ask her something. This was
what he said: why did you come out

A FAIRY TALE.

Once unon time in London there was
an old shanty.
Nobody would go In it, because the Eur
nture would get up and walk away. So
no ono went in 1t.
One dny heggnr came into the town
and. seeing the shnny. went In 1t. At
could 70 to sleep. the bed took him up
and out OF tho town to where they be-
lonsed, and he never came back again.
Nobody knows whore they went or
where they are now.
Not long after this two 'countrymen
came and rested In a chair, And It took
them out of tho window to their house
and then went back into the house.

THE DANCING LESSON.

=. IIl-1 & q
All in the deep. green meadow,
Around the crystal pool,
The kins-curs and the daisies
Go out to dancing school;
The cricket plays the music
Upon his violin.
The wind Is dancing master
Now, pretty dears, begin:
Zone, two and down the middle.
Cross over to the right,
And courtesy to your partners
Chnssery, Miss Daisy White.
Reverse; join hands and forward
On tiptoes all tho way
Stop! Stop! and do It over,
And not SO fast, l pray.
SO in the waving grasses.
Besides the bubbling spring,
\ Where fern and mint together
Grow in n fragrant ring,
You'll find the silver daisies,
And golden king-cups, too
Are takiDs dancing lessons
Each morning in the dew.

MY teachers name Is Miss Wells.
And oh! the stories that she tells;
How Columbus sailed the blue,
And how he found the land so new
And how he burnt the huts at night;
What Roger Williams thought and snld,
And all about his cold leaf bed.
How Paul Revers friend put up the light
And how he rode so far, that night;
And many another story true.
That would interest me or you.

sIono,oIv In Rare wood.

There is a firm of decorators ana FUR
niture makers in New York city which
stands in the unique position Of own
ing every piece Of one kind OF wood
that is known to the markets of the
world. 1t is called "cominO" and was
brought to this city by an expert in
rare woods from South America twen-
ty-five years ago. He saw its beauty
and value while it was in the rough,
and after buying all the logs he could
Law his hands on he had them brought
to New York and sawed up into We
neers and then stored his treasure
away.
Some time later he interested the
head of the decorating firm in the
wood, and the latter took it all off his
hands. The wood is now slowly being
made into beautiful pieces of furniture
that are the admiration of experts prin-
cipally for the beautiful finish the sur
face of the wood takes. 1t looks like a
superb piece of light brown satin that
has been woven to resemble moire.
Aside from its interest from the view
point of beauty. the wood attracts the
attention of forestry experts owing te
its extreme rarity.-New York Press.

a New Thine In HIstory.

We have arrived at a stage Of human
evolution that must be almost unprece-
dented in history A large portion Of
mankind-and Just that portion which
corresponds with the part that has
hitherto created the events Of which
we know with some certainty-is grad
ually forsaking the religion in which it
has lived for nearly twenty centuries.
For a religion to become extinct is no
new thing. 1t must have happened
more than once in the night of time.
and the analysts of the end of the Ro-
man empire make us assist at the
death Of paganism. But until now men
passed from a crumbling temple into
one that was building; they left one
religion to enter another whereas we
are abandoning ours to 90 nowhere.
That is the new phenomenon, with the
unknown consequences, in which we

STRIKE PLOT
Miners Leader Says Story From
Pittsburg is All Nonsense.
WAITING OPERATORS ANSWER

New York, March 6.-John Mitchell
president of the United Mine Workers
denied emphatically that he had en-

the independent operator. When seen
at the Ashland House the miners lead
er said:
"Things are in status quo. Let me
say this: The dispatches from Pitts
burg intimating that have entered in
to a deal or am about to come to an
understanding with Mr.. Robbins to
the effect that if I would help the an
thracite miners to get an increase OF
wages he would make similar EFFORTS
for the bituminous miners, is all non

Savings Bank In Mexico.

Savings banks are practically un'
known Institutions in the City of Mex
leo. If a man has a small amount to
deposit. with the expectation of being
able TO add to it from time to time, he
will be at loss to find bank that will
be willing to take care of his apparent
IL insignificant sums and pay him in
terest on the money that is thus gradu-
ally deposited. As a matter of fact,
there are only about two places In the
entire city that will show any interest
in his small savings. one Of these being
a little bank for working people. which
was organized a couple of years ago
ard the other place being the Monte de
la Piedad, which receives deposits Of
any amount and pays per cent inter
est per annum on them. The little saw
ings bank has had a hard struggle to
maintain itself. 1t is noticeable fact,
however, that the bank in question has
few Mexican working people as depos-
itors, most of its patrons being Span
iards who are working for wages as
grocery clerks and bookkeepers.-Mexi-

Towns which might be well admins
