pictures"
The children ran to collect the things,
and mama sent Harold for both pairs Of
scissors and the shears, and Esther for
some empty boxes and covers to lay the
parts Of pictures in.
Now" said mama, giving the things
round to the different ones as she spoke,
"you may cut the brown paper into sheets
about six or eight inches; you may cut the
cardboard the same size.
Now all you little ones may cut out the
pictures of everything in the advertise
inent pages that is alive, but don't try to
cut them close to the picture; let the older
ones do that. Harold may punch the sheets
on one end, so they can be tied together

could make a book at first, but If you
spoil a page it looks badly to cut it out,
so l like sheets best"
Then mama cut out several pictures
quickly and cut Off their heads and arms
and legs, putting the heads in one box
the arms into another, the legs into a
third, and the bodies into a fourth. Some
times she left the arms with the body, as

Don was a fine black spaniel, belonging
to Mr. Haley. He was l year old, but had
not yet gotten over his puppy ways, and,
along with other things, he was very fond
Of biting and tearing anything light that he
could get hold Of, especially fond was no of
hair and feathers.
One day the housemaid carelessly left
feather buster on a chair. Don quickly took
possession of 1t and. dragging it out into the
hall, pounced upon it and chewed ii and
clawed 1t in a mimic combat, till he had
torn every feather out of the handle. When
the maid came and discovered the havoc
which he had wrought, she took the
featherlcss handle TO Dons master. Mr.
Haley called the dog and. showing him the
handle, gave him a good whipping with 1t
for being so destructive
Poor Don skunk away, sobblng as plainly
as any child could have done. He was In
disgrace and did not know what to do.
An hour or two later as his master was
sitting reading his newspaper, he heard the
patter of light feet upon the carpet, and,
looking UP, there was Don. The shamed
look was gone from his face; his ears and
tail were erect, while his eyes snapped IN
glee, as much to say:
'I have redeemed myself now. You surely
can't blame me any longer for what did"
And sure enough, for Don held in his
teeth a brand new feather duster, like the
one which he had destroyed. His master
took 1t from him, and examining 1t closely,
found the trademark of one of the mer-
chants In town upon 1t.
Don" he said, you're a pretty bright
dog. but l am sorry to tell you that you
are a thief as well as a rogue. But, OF
course you didn't know it was wrong to
steal it,"
He walked down to the store with the
buster and. on inquiring, found that it be-
longed to the stock. He put some money In

There is some merriment in the English
papers over John Burns bowler" hat. Mr..
Burns, being a laborer and friend of la
borers, SHES at a silk hat. and there is con-
sternation at the thought that he may
wear the profane thing to the ministerial
bench or the House OF Commons. Hopeful
spirits suggest that he may wear II to the
House, but enter the chamber hatless. 1t
is recalled that in the last radical govern
ment one OF the ministers, who was sup
posed to represent the workingmen, got
over the difficulty by wearing his bowler
to the House. but changing it to a silk hat
before entering.

Atlanta, Jan. !: President Harvie

legged short comings. He says the ac-
ton of Director North of that bureau
In failing to make public all Information
he secured from ginners Jan. 16. and
his persistent refusal to do so In the
face OF repeated demands. is exciting
considerable indignation throughout the
whole country. President Jordan says
that 100000 bales of the crop were gin
ned prior 10 Sept. 1, and were counted
in the commercial crop OF 190405. but
hrve been made a part OF the census
bureau report of 9.99S,111. Deduct the
100000 bales from the published total
of 9,99S,11 leaves 9,52S.111 to be count
ed in the crop of 1905-06. Add to this
$50, 900 bales and there still remains
a crop under 100000 bales. He says
that a wide investigation shows that
spot holders are not selling their cot
ton: that practically there is no cot
ton for sale in the face OF the present
