A USEFUL IMAGINATION.

Little Margaret had such vivid imagi-
nation that she was never at a loss for
amusement. Any little thing was enough
to start her of on charming play. AL
though she had no sisters or brothers, and
hardly any paymates, to her 1t did not
matter.
One day she said to her mother: Nom
my, Mary Jane. Pretty Polly and Violet
Ann was coming to play with me-" Soon
they came and Margaret was greeting her
invisible company with beautiful courtesy
She described to her mother Just how they
looked and were dressed. After that they
came nearly every day, always dressed
the same. and always wearing the same
clothes. Such Jolly little friends they were!
They said the brightest things and Mar
garet screamed with laughter as she re-
peated to her mother the merry Jokes.
Last Christmas Margaret found upon the
tree three wonderful dolls. One was
dressed in blue. the other in pink and the
last IN violet These" explained her
mother. ARE Mary Jane, Pretty Polly and
Violet Ann! You will not be obliged to
make believe any more"
For one moment Margaret stared at her
mother in blank amazement. Did she,
could she think that any real feelable do Is
could replace those beautiful fancy-child
rem? Then the pretty lips quivered and
Margaret's curly head bent low. NOM
N.Y." she sobbed, take them away. Give
them to some little girl that does not know
the difference / would rather make be-
lieve. These are not like-my dear chill
dren. they are only dolls-and-and the
others are real-er."

the joyful moment when they felt quito
safe. Painting and trembling they scram-
bled to the lowest branch of the great oak
and sat down TO rest. They wondered II
they could ever breathe enough OF the
sweet, fresh air. Presently they heard a
rustic just above them. and looking up
they saw fat red squirrel cycling them
curiously.
Hello" he called: you are new here?
Yes" answered Imp; we've just come.
I suppose you live here"
My home Is In that big maple. I have q
wife and four children. Is that your wife
with you" He bowed to Mousie as he
spoke.
We have always lived together an
swered Imp. so I guess she is my wife"
Why, OF course she is said the red
squirrel. You must bring her to call on
my wife. You will have to be careful about
some of the people around here. There's
Mr. Horned Owl for instance, no squirrel
can afford to know him
Interrupted the Imp. He isn't a beauty,
that's sure"
Ssh, He'll hear you. and his feelings are
easily hurt. That's Mr.. Grounding. He's
very proud-but good fellow in other ways.
Well, / must be off. 1 have errand to
run for my wife. l hope you'll decide to
settle down among US. There are lots or
hollow trees that will make fine homes.
We'll, | suppose that Is what we must
do" said Imp after the red squirrel had
gone I'D much rather find a home all
ready furnished. Perhaps 1t wouldn't be
hard to turn some of these fellows out. l

You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

SPECKIE.

A funny thing happened not long ago on
farm nearby. 1t might have turned out
tragically. had not the owner come by in
time. There was old hen named
Speckie. who was such patient setter
that nearly all the eggs put under her
came out well; so the farmer had, for some
time past, put valuable duck eggs in her
nest, and old Speckie grew accustomed to
having her brood Of young hopefuls make
for the pond the first thing after they were
Matched. She used to stand on the bank
and watch her youngsters sporting In the
water with much the same manner as a
human mother would assume IL her chill
dren did unusual and brilliant feats.
But one day the farmer. without any real
thought as to past habit put lot Of val
liable hens eggs under Speckie and in duo
time out came a brood of fun balls that
did the mothers heart good. At the proper
time she marched them down to the pond
and stood amazed as the balls refused to
take the plunge. She cackled angrily, evil
IDENTIFY scolding them for their stupid and
sullen behavior. Seeing that her words had
no influence over this strange family. she
started to drive them all in the water willy
nily. Just then the farmer came along
and saved the lives Of those poor innocent
chicks. He laughed heartily at Speckie's
forgetfulness of her own nature and in
stincts. but he decided to keep Speckie on
ducks In the future, since she was such q
creature Of habit

A HENPECKED DOG.
A True Story.

True Story
From the time Jack brought him home
in his overcoat pocket. Lion was considered
quite one of the family He looked like
nothing but fuzzy. black ball, with little
beadlike eyes and long ears.
Lion came of fine stock his father JEFF
Davis was a huge. curly st. Bernard, and
his mother. Winnie Davis, was Of pure
Newfoundland breed.
He was such a baby at first that he could
not chew his food. and drank his water
from the top OF q baking powder can. He
grew 80 rapidly that at the end of a month
his water bucket was enlarged to a fair
sized saucepan, and his strong white teeth
could grind a small bone But from the
very beginning the bark that came from
the depths of his little body was wonderful
to hear. and It grew with his growth. until
the sound Of it filled the neighborhood.
The Hunters back yard. where Lion was
to be lodged. boosted Of only one other pet,
up two delicate little children. She lived
under the house, where she kept I'D a per-
petual and noisy chuckling.
1t was unwisely decided to put Lion to
bed in disused room downstairs, SO a nice
little box was arranged for him. and on the
first night Jack carried him in state to his
apartment. He was followed by his two
big sisters. one bearing lighted candle.
filled with water; the box was ready be-
forehand.
Lion would have none Of it: as fast as
Jack put him in, he jumped out and made
for the open door, only to be caught and
put back again. After keeping up this
activity for some time, Jack and the two
girls held council of war, with Lion sit
ting by with his head cooked on one side
1t was finally decided to guard the door.
while Jack, after tucking the baby dog
securely in his quarters, was to rush out of
the room. leaving Lion locked in.
This feat was accomplished successfully.
but such dismal howls broke the stiffness OF
the night that the oldest daughter Of the
family was forced to rouse herself and go
down to release the prisoner. Half asleep,
and not thinking Of consequences. she put
him under the house. where he seemed
more resigned.
But alas. In the middle Of the night wild
clucking, added to renewed bowling.
alarmed the neighbors. Jack rushed into
his clothes and headed a procession Of
rescue.
They were just in time; the poor little
puppy, half dead from fright, covered In a
corner while the irate hen made vicious
dabs at his innocent black nose.
Lion was then promoted to the back
steps, as a permanent resting place. 1t Is
needless to say he neither forgot nor for
gave the henpecking he received In a
months time he had routed Mrs. Cluck.
with great slaughter. causing her to leave
the backyard forever, and never again did
a feathered creature show its head on the
premises while Lion ruled as king.

And live by rule, they say!
She couldn't do Just as you please,
And loll about and be at ease,
Like children of today.

And miserable "stays!"
She weighed her words, she pinchee

Her subjugation was complete
She had no baby days!

And endless hymns and catechisms,

REPORT OF w. D. FoULKE.
Investigation Into Affairs of the Five
Tribes

The Senate committee on Indian affairs
has received from the Secretary Of the In
terror copy of the report of William d.
Foulke. special inspector in the Indian
service. who investigated charges against
William o. Beall, secretary to the commits
sioner having in charge the affairs of the
Five Civilized Tribes. Mr.. Foulke claimed
that Beall was guilty of improprieties in
accepting employment from the firm of
Mansfield McMurray & Cornish, attorneys
for the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations
Beall was charged with helping to prepare
briefs in there cases and then advising the
commissioner as to the decisions that
should be given. and even in some cases
acting as commissioner and deciding them
himself
Mr. Foulke recommended to the Depart
ment of the Interior that Reall be sepa-
rated in the future from the determination
or any such cases as completely las if he
were no longer living"
The charges brought against BealI re-
nected also upon Tams Bixby, the commits
sioner of the Five Civilized Tribes but the
Investigation did not go into these charges.
The report declared. however that Mr.
Bixby did not appear to be as familiar as
he should be with the proceedings before
the commission.
