A TRIAL BY JURY.

| II ever there was a spoiled dog IL was
Mink, and proper name she had, too.
! Of course. she was very young when she
did the dreadful thing which led to her trial
and conviction. but youth is not always an
| excuse.
| Mink was one OF nine children, and CANA
| to the Horizons when she was small enough
| to be carried in Toms pocket. She was a
skye terrier, and she became so attached to
Tom that I'm afraid Elsie held him re-
sponstble for the whole affair. -
The little girls had been busy dressmak-
ing for month. for Emmelina Horton. the
big wax doll and Elsie's Oldest daughter,
was about to be married. There WIS to be
grand wedding at Elsies house, and all
Emmellna's friends, with their mammas,
were to be invited. So every afternoon
they met in the Horizons nursery and spent
busy. happy time making wonderful gar
ments for this occasion.
Once In a while, when Tom was out Mink
had scratched on the door, behind which
she heard the children laughing and talk
Ing. but when Elsie had allowed her to
come In she had been so mischievous that
she had been forced to send her away In
disgrace.
One afternoon, unfortunately, Elsie left
the nursery door open while she ran down.
STAIRS 10 say goodbye to some of her
friends Mink peeped in, saw something
white lying on Elsie's little work table, as
well as some pretty scraps on the floor. and
entered to investigate. The result was the
ruination," as Elsie remarked, of Emne-
lina's wedding gown and the shutting up Of
Mink in the cellar to await her trial. OF
course. the wedding was postponed.
The trial took place In the nursery the
very next day. There was a jury of half
dozen little girls, half dozen being con-
sidered quite enough for a dog. Elsie was
the Judge, and Tom, the policeman brought
In poor Mink on her hind legs, looking very
much ashamed of herself.
She listened TO the whole story with her
head on one side and her right ear cooked,
and once or twice her soft, pathetic eyes
filled with tears. Sometimes she wagged
her-stump of a tail quite piteously and
when the torn-up white dress was shown
to her she looked guilty indeed.
When the Judge pronounced sentence
Mink Immediately. rolled over and played
dead, so deep was the disgrace. She had
to wear clothes like doll for a whole week,
and Tom had to take her out each day In a
doll carriage.
1t was a good lesson to Mink, who had a
terrible ordeal to go through every time
she met her dog friends. Nowadays she
never gees near the nursery, and II the
faintest allusion fs made to Emmelina's
wedding dress the culprit will Immediately
put her tail between her legs and creep
under the sofa

JACKS ADVENTURE.
BY MIRIAM L. HILLMAN.

Once upon time, not many years ago,
there lived a small boy named Jack Ben
ton. He was the pride of his parents;
and a most wonderful hero in the eyes Of
his little sister, Helen.
Have you ever on a very bright moon
light night, when lying In your little bed
looked up at that great ball of light and
wondered what the man in the moon was
watching and II there were any boys and
girls up there? If you have done this you
may have had the same wish that Jack
had; he wanted to know all about the
moon. and every time he looked his wish
grew stronger.
One night, after a hard days play, Jack
felt tired he was glad to go to bed 1t
seemed to him then that the moon had
never looked brighter more mysterious.
As he lay there, with the moon shining
brightly in at him, the old wish grew so
strong that, heaving big sigh, he said
aloud:
oh. dear. wish 1 could go to the
moon!'
The words had hardly left his lips when
he was startled to. see that it was not a
mOonbeam shining in his room, but a long
silver ladder reaching from the moon to the
bed, and running swiftly down it was a
wee little man. AS he came nearer, Jack
saw that he was something like Santa
Claus. but dressed in glittering silver.
so you want TO go up to the moon do
you? Well. the man in the moon heard
your wish and sent me down to take you
up there"
But how can l go up there?"
"Umph"' said the little man, Swallow
this" and he handed Jack tiny silver
pill. Jack was not long in obeying and
began at once to feel himself getting
smaller and smaller until his head came
just to the big silver buckle on the little
mans belt Then up, up they went. Jacks
legs were getting pretty tired, when the
old man said:
Here we are. on Moonland. your wish
has been granted; look around you, for
never before has any earth child come to
the moon. / must leave you now, but
when you want me, blow this whistle three
times" and he handed Jack a silver
whistle.
Jack looked around him and wondered
why everything was so queer. What was
It? There were mountains. trees. rivers
and grass; then Jack knew The mountains
were fiat on top The roots of the trees
grew above the ground, The rivers were
all running up hill. The grass was blue,
The sky green! Before Jack recovered
from his surprise he heard voice say,
Goodbye old stranger" and turning
around he saw the funniest little couple
you could possibly imagine. a boy and
girl. But which was which he couldn't

tell, for the one who looked like boy had
on girls clothes, and the one who looked
like girl was dressed as a boy! Their
clothes were wrong side out the stockings
were worn over their shoes. and their hats
were upside down on top Of each head! He
walked up to them, holding his hand in a
friendly way, but to his surprise they each
stuck out foot. Jack didn't know whether
to get mad or not, but finally decided that
was the moon way of greeting. SO I'D went
style Of saying How do you do?'- and
the result was that he sat down with q
thump that made him dizzy. When he
looked up at his two companions, expect
ing to find them both laughing, the tears
were rolling down their cheeks.
THAT was nice Of you not to laugh"
said Jack. Don't cry. 1 am not hurt
I'VE are not crying, we are laughing,
you looked SO sad"
Jack was puzzled. Then slowly It came
to his mind. what you have no doubt
guessed before this, that everything Is
topsy-turvey on the moon. Jack was eager
to find out more about his new friends,
and asked, what are your names?'
Jones Mary and Jones Tom." they said:
"what Is yours? -'- a- s--=
Jack didn't know what to say at first,
but decided as long as he was on the moon
he might as well begin to talk moon talk
and answered Benton Jack"
Where are you goihg?" asked Jones
Tom.
Jack replied: "Oh. I just came down
from the earth little while to visit the
moon: won't you show me around?'
No, we won't" they both answered
which. of course, Jack knew meant YES
we will"
''All right" said Jack; he was just on
the point of saying. Lets start" when he
remembered where he was. and instead
said Lets stay here The two moon
children Immediately turned around and
commenced walking backward Jack fol-
lowed their lead. They had been walking
but short time when Jones Mary said:
Get Inc the way sister. there goes the
Green's harness" Turning, Jack saw
very funny sight They had been walking
in the road and now. coming along the
sidewalk was a queer-shaped wagon, push
ca along by a man and a woman and sit
ting on his launches in the wagon was a
great white horse. who looked so serious
and dignified that Jack nearly burst with
laughter.
If you have any idea of visiting the
moon you had better begin right away
to practice moon talk. so you will not be
puzzled by anything that is said.
There were no fences in Moonland around
the houses, only gates which were wide
open. The houses were built on top of
wooden chimneys and We're made Of glass
with brick windows, the doors opening on
the cellars, which were on top of the

ABOUT SOAP BUBBLES.

If your father or mother or some one
happens to be smoking pipe get him to
blow some bubbles for you. He Just fills
his mouth with smoke. and then blows an
ordinary bubble with a clay pipe. The
bubble will generally grow very large, and
will. Of course, be filled with smoke. Done
in the sunshine, some of these present q
very beautiful appearance.
If you want to make a very large bubble,
first cover your hands will with soapsuds,
and then place them together in the shape
of cup, leaving small opening at the
bottom. Then hold your hands about a
foot from your mouth and blow into them.
The bubbles obtained in this way are SO
large that they Immediately burst on
touching the floor. e.

CHARLES APPRENTICESHIP.
BY BELLE MOSES,

Charlie was determined, and when Charlie
had made up his mind "all the kings
horses and all the kings men" couldn't
make Charlie unnake It again; he had
carefully considered the matter every night
In the nursery, before going to sleep, for
nearly week, indeed, ever since he had
known Michael Duffy. and he had come to
the conclusion that he would rather be a
motorman than anything else in the world
he had long been In consultation with his
mother over the necessity of beginning at
once to make his fortune, for time was
pressing. and he was nearly six. but the
moment he boarded the historic cable car
he felt that his vocation was there, and
when Ellen. the maid who came for him
each day after kindergarten hours intro
duced him to the great and noble Michael,
and he was permitted to gaze at the mys-
terious turns ana twists that sent the car
spinning along. or stopped 1t at will, he was
convinced that life had nothing more en-
nobling.
Charlie had a high sense of honor, he was
rot going to sneak of at night as boys
like Buster Brown might do, giving his
mother nervous chill from sheer fright.
Instead. he would lay the case before her
IN the most rational way. he would tell her
his one dream was to become a motorman,
and as she was always very kind and
sympathetic. she would no doubt appreciate
his feelings.
AT hrst she seemed very much hurt. |
Are you not happy at home, dear2 she |
asked. looking at him with those wide re-
proachful eyes. which very nearly unman-
ned him.
oh. yes" he said heartily. 'but one can
not always play. you know. mamma"
or course not. quite understand that"
she fastened to assure him.

HOW THE SEALS PUT ON AIRS
BY JOE CAREY.

In the far and frigid northland
Where the seal-folk love to play.
Lived q wise and willy seal-man
Who was overheard to say:
wife, I've listened to the hunters.
And q statement strange I've heard;
I am sure when l relate 1t
You will think 1t quite absurd.
..Said the hunters: There's fabric
Known as imitation SEAL
But the fur that we ore after
Is the sealskin thnt Is real.
"wife. II we were Initiation,
We could live our lives in peace,
For the fondness of the hunters
For our furry coats would cease"
Mrs Woman-seal was wiser
In her day and generation.
So she said: ..Assuredlr. nv dear,
We can he imitation.
1--WE hear II means to put airs
Now what. for u.s. Is easier,
The valiant North Wind Il our friend.
g., And who, pray, could he breezier?
r..we'n rut on airs SO proud ana cold.
SO harghty and SO chilly. dear
Well freeze each hunter who comes nigh.
With manners false and silly. dear"
And so they did. and SO they lived,
No hunter had chance ut them,
Their airs were suci. the other seals.
Were forced TO looa assnnee at them.
