W O M AN KIND
Boy and the Parrot.


A little boy sat by his mothers side
and looked discontentedly at the other
persons in the car He sighed and
wiggled and wiggled and sighed Every
iew minutes he asked his mother II
they could get out now. and each time
she would say, mot yet. dear but
pretty soon." Finally the little chm
moaned out softly, Il wish there were
some children on the car. What's the
fun of grown ups?" says the New
York Sun. No one answered his
question, and from time to time he
would heave an extra big sigh ana
loudly wish for some other children
on the car" His mother persuaded
him to kneel on the seat and watch the
stores pass by, and while he was In
this position a man entered the car.
sat down opposite and held carefully
on his knee a big covered parrot cage
Presently from the cage came a soft
childish voice, asking: PA, are YOU
there? Instantly the little chap
turned around and surveyed the car.
He saw no child from whom the voice
could have come, and he looked puz-
zled. Then he turned back to the
window, and again the soft little
voice in the cage said: "Hello, pa, are
you there?" The little chap positive
ly whirled about this time. and when
he still could see no owner of the
childish voice his eyes got very big
indeed. He hardly had his attention
for the third time fixed on the things
outside when quite clearly came the
plant; Say pa, I'm getting tired"
With one wild scramble the boy was
on his mothers lap, mis- arms around
her neck, and, clasping her tightly
he demanded: ma, where's that
kid?" At this every one in the car
burst out laughing. and when the boy
recovered from his chagrin he was in
| troduced to the parrot. His devotion
: to it was so complete that when his
mother at last announced that their
corner was reached he had to be al
most dragged from the car.

bid Not Wan Pioture raken.

When Mary Rogers, the woman with
many aliases, refused to pose for a
picture at police headquarters a few
days ago, her conduct astonished some
of the younger members of the force.
The woman was willing to do almost
anything except to have her photo
graph taken.
Send me to jail" she said, 'bur
don't take my picture. 1 want to go
there, but I will not sit for a pic
ture"
For about two hours the photograph
er and others tried their persuasive
powers upon the woman but she was
obdurate. Hardly once during all
that time did she open her eyes or
even turn her face in the direction OF
the photographers instrument
How woman could continue such
conduct for so long a time" remarked
one of the officers, "I cannot under
stand. am certain that very few
men could have prevented the taking
of a picture"
The suggestion was made that she
be bound and photographed, but In
spectOr Boardman realized that a
photograph taken under such condi-
tions would be of no value. and so he
bad her taken to court without getting
the desired picture.
"She is only one of many women
who have acted in that manner. That's
a woman's way" said Inspector Board
man, commenting upon the case, and
recalling an experience he had with a
woman a number of years ago.
"This other woman" he said, was
stylishly dressed. and her appearance
was anything but that OF a cook. SHE
went quietly in the patrol wagon to
a photograph gallery on Pennsylvania
avenue, but when she reached the door
she tore off part of her clothing and
screamed for help. She told bystand-
ers that we had assaulted her, and
some Of them took her statement seri-
ously. She caused so much trouble
that it was not possible to get her
photograph. ph.-Washingtcn star.

Commend to the French modists
a frock for an occasion and you will
be sure to receive something delight
fully chic in return. The new bathing
suits Of imported pattern were never
so charming as this season, carrying
out as they do, the essential points OF
frocks for smart wear on other oc-

of smartness as can he consistently
combined with the freedom required
in an athletic costume. This bathing

dots and the skirt and blouse are join
ed such a way that the princesse ef-

Powderhorn" to them, it was as if a spark
observed.
Quite sensation was created along the
route as the destination of the boys became
What! coast down Powderhorn? Well, l
never! You must be crazy!"
This sort of derisive benediction greeted
Horace and his comrades from all sides. And
yet recruits began to fall in behind the
procession, for enthusiasm is always ''catch-
ing, however impracticable the scheme in
view may appear.
Among these accessions were Ned Wheeler
or Shadow" as he was facetiously called
on account of the imposing rotdndity of his
person-and Billy Caswell, who hustled along
after the caravan, tugging a homely sled of
most uncommon proportions.
This sled had been constructed originally
as freight sledge for the transportation of
such small lumber as is used by builders in
the finishing of houses. 1t was about four
feet in length and broad in proportion. 1t
stake at each corner, but these Billy had sawn
off with the exception Of the front one ON the
left side. This was $50 handy" Billy re-
marked, "for girl to hang to-"
1t may be properly inferred, from this fore
thought of Billy CaswelPs, that the, Chelsea
indeed the fact, and the capacity of Billy's
sled for slowing girls had made him quite
popular. 1e
1t will not seem strange, therefore, that
the ranks of Horace Stokes expedition were
swelled before the village was fully traversed
by three merry young maidens-namely, Lau-
ra Winch, Esther Elder and Abby Lewis.
These adventurous girls needed little per
suasion to fall in Perhaps the ambition to
scale old Powderhorn might have furnished
motive enough, but when the boys proposed
to haul them on Billy's stupendous, barge
like sledge, the girls gaily abandoned their
own dainty sleds in their parental door-yards,
and. curled up in state upon the broad, car
peted platform of the barge aforesaid, the
festive company soon found itself at the foot
of old Powderhorn.
At this halting-place the boys held a con-
sultation. They were already putting like SO
many steam tugs from the exertion of haul
ing the girls. with the train of empty sleds
dragging behind. One glance up the precipit-
GUS mountain flank which lay before them
was enough
"Now, girls" said Billy Caswell, with some
hesitancy, Eve are delighted with your COM
pany, you know"
"Of course we are!" echoed Horace
Stokes and the rest of the chorus.
"Yes," continued Billy, uneasily, but
but"
"You mean we must haul ourselves the rest
of the way l supposep said Laura.
"Well yes, that's IT," responded spokes-
man Billy. greatly relieved in his mind
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-03

Go ahead. then!" cried Laura, as the
three girls leaped from the barge and shook
themselves. "Where you lead, we'll follow,
won't we, girls?"
Both Esther and Abby avowed this to be
their own intention. and the caravan began
its ascent forthwith.
This was no ordinary climb, you under
stand. In spots the hill was as steep as the
roof OF house. The crust was, fortunately,
just enough influenced by the obliging sun
that smart foot beat would make an impress
sion sufficient for hold.
Yet it was good solid work to Chamber up
that broad and rugged hillside, for rocks
were scattered here and there. and also ir-
regular hollows and depressons.
1t did not take many minutes of climbing
to tire out the langnid and lazy members of
the party, for even among school-boys and
schoolgirls there are always some of that
species.
But good dozen of the boys persevered
to the summit, of course including Horace
Stokes. Billy Caswell. Shadow Wheeler and
Weston Bryant The Others need not be
enumerated.
And the girls? Why, they were the fresh
est and gayest of the entire troop. Of course
they were: they had mission, which was
to inspire the boys to a coasting dash such
dS they anu olu IOWueTuOrn uau uSFSI hnoWH
before.
1t was glorious view from the crest, but
we need not stop to describe that.
The ice glazing of the first day had disap-
peared, but yet the possibilities of efficient
steering were small One thing was COM
forting; the scattered boulders, great and
little, upon the hillside were smoothly coat
ed over. There was little danger to be dread
ed from any chance collision with those OBJ
structions.
But it was an appalling descent, almost
sheer down in places, stretching away for
a. full mile, including the meadow at the base
of the hill
The boys were searching eagerly for the
most practicable track for their experiment.
The girls cast uneasy glances at each other,
and then turned to their boy comrades in
thrilling expectation.
"Well, who goes first% cried Shadow, with
grin which semed outlined with incredu-
lity;
81 do" echoed back Horace Stokes.
At the word, he flung himself upon his
sled with the right foot trailing behind as a
rudder. and off he shot.
Yes, he fairly flew. Weston Bryant was
not far behind him, and then, one by one
at short intervals, the other boys joined the
flying column, except Billy Caswell Shadow
Wheeler's majestic form brought up the rear.
Billy and the girls followed them eagerly
