 Unlike the usual Irish family. there was only one child. boy. and, of course his name was Dan-Dan Deegan.
 Dan was a sociabie little fellow, with blue eyes. snub nose and. of course. freclxles.

The first day he went to the village school attestcd this, for he had his pockets full of candy. cookies and other things. which he tried to give to his schoolmates. But they wouldn't take them. No. indeedi Instead of that, they quite snubbed poor little Dan, who was soft hearteds and whose merry eyes filled with tears when he found his friendly overtures rebuffed.
 He didn't give up, however. but tried and tried to be friends He tried to

 But as the 17th of March drew near the boys got together and tried their best to think of some perfectly awful thing they could do to hurt Dams feel ings, and make him understand, once and for all. that he was not one of them.

 "A parade?" echoed all the boys.
 "Yes. St. Patrick's parade. like the ones they have in New York. Haven't you read about them?"
 That won't bother him." said Ches- ter Brown. Hell think it's a compli- ment, and that we want to show we really like him."
 Horace smiled very deeply. but shook his head.
 Leave the arrangements to me-" he said, you'll see.'
 On the 17th of March little Dan got up feeling very unhappy. The boys had been particularly mean to him the day before. and he remembered with long, mg how in the old tenement house dis sriot they had moved from. ito get a

 ST. PATRICK's PROCESSION
 As he neared the little wooden house he began to feel that there was dif- ference; the door was shut tight, the window shades were down. and, yes, he looked closer, but il was true. there was a green flag over the schoolhouse door and on the door itself huge. placard, white with green letters, which read, Closed on account of the death of, St. Patrick; funeral services from the house of Dan Deegan at 9.30 sharp"
 Such bewfdered little boy you never saw. What did they mean by funeral services? Why the blessed Saint had been buried hundreds of years ago, he of those terrible jokes, and his first im- pulse was to run home and tell mother everything, and weep 1t all out in her arms.

So he walked back very cautiously and quietly, and from behind big tree he watched his own house.
 He had been right in his guess. The beys had already gathered about hum dred yards from his house, nearly every, one of them dressed in green, and all carrying banners, which were too far off for Dan to read, but which he felt were just as unkind as the sign on the schooihouse door. It seemed to Dan as he remembered that sign that he sphad only just realized how much his teacher disliked him, as otherwise she would never have consented to help the boys with their practical joke.
 They had sort of a band, too, Dan could make that out One boy had drum, another a pretty poor specimen of fife. and another trumpet; From his tree Dan could see them getting in- to line as for a procession, and starting with their banners toward his house. When they got near enough the band

The Story of a Stage Cat
A STRANGE ACTOR

And she Cid not consider that her duty was done when she had merely played going to bed" in the children's mati- nee once week.
 So when, this night of the new opera. she suddenly perceived what she be- lieved to be a host of her natural foes in the very act of audaciously tres passing on the stage. she gave pierc-. ing 'Mi-auls of indignation. leaped down to the stage from her favorite corner in the wings and, to the un- bounded amusement of the audience. fastened her claws into one of the coun- terfeit rats.
 In a twinkling she discovered. of course, that she had been fooled. but she never turned a hair" beating her retreat with all the majesty of well- born, self-respecting tabby.
 The audience howled with delight, and gave her such an enthusiastic recall that finally one of the actors brought her out to acknowledge the applause.

Gardening Game

T~HIS is gardening made easy:
 Each of the players is asked in \ turn what was planted in his garden, and what came up.
 Articles planted may be of any des. cription, but must come up plants or some kind whose names have some punning connection with the articles planted.
 For example:
 First Player-I planted a ball and 1t came up a rubber plant.
 Second Player-I planted the United States and it came up motor carna- tion Gear nation).
 Third Player-I planted a calendar and it came up dates, it came up dock.
 Fifth Player-I planted an old coat and 1t came up frs (furs).
 Sixth Player-I planted a watch and it came up four o'clock.
 Seventh Player-I planted a pert young miss ar-d she came up wall flower.
 Eighth Player-I planted some steps and they came up hops.
 Ninth Player-I planted an Irtshman and he came up a potato.

IL boys and girls are familiar with A Browning's eeaptiyating Pied Piper of Hamelin.'
 We'll. there is good story in con nection with the opera called The Rat catcher of Hamelfn.'' when it was first given in the great Royal Opera House of Dresden.
 In this opera. while Singup. the charmer. was singing his tuneful and spellbinding incantation. thousands upon thousands of rats suddenly in- vaded the stage, emerging from doors and windows, crevices in the walls and holes in the ground.
 They were made up'' as iifelike as possible, and scampered about the stage for all the world as if they were real flesh and blood instead of only skin and stuffing. Do you wonder. then, that they completely took in the sleek old cat belonging to the stage?
 Now, even If she was sleek and well fed, she was a conscientious old cat.

Why the Boy Didn't Go.

Congressman Champ Clark, of Mis- souri, has a very bright and precocious son named Bennett, who Is about l2 years of age. The boy, like many other sons of members of the House, is apt to be on the floor when 1t is announced that his father will speak.
 One day Champ Clark made a set speech, and 1t was quite a creditable both sides of the House. But Bennett wasn't there that day. The next time he showed up he was asked to explain his absence
 "Oh, pshaw," replied the lad, q heard that speech no less than three times when mamma was teaching 1t to him at home What did l want to hear 1t again for?'

 We'll, that's a hard question to answer, isn't 1t. boys? So much de- pends!
 But suppose we ask who is the most daring man in the world? One might say the Arctic explorer, another might say the African Hon hunter, and so on. But I rather think you had not thought of another fellow-the eagle hunter of the Alps. An, but he is daring man! And he is so used to running risks that he actually thinks nothing of it.
 One of the greatest eagle hunters in Switzerland is Willy Amrhein. man who went with him on one of his eagle hunts (ard Willy. by the way. makes a speciality of capturing young eagles aliYe) has written the following account of the days experience:
 We started long before dawn, for we had long and arduous climb to make. over colossal rocks. dangerous glaciers and yawning abysses, before we could hope to reach the eyrie heights where the eagles nest.
 At last we reached a cliff where Willy halted the party and bade us hush, while he crept to the edge. and leaning cautiously over. scanned the shelf of rock at some distance below.
 An uplifted finger both warned and beckoned us. With infinite care we crept to the edge and looked down. There was nest with a couple of eagles just the age to have shed their white baby down and begin to put on soft feathers. Beside the nest, on the sun warmed performing her morning toilet 1t was a charming sight! But we had work before us, and alas! had one cruel thing to dol

 Take perfumery bottle or something similar. get good cork half an inch thick or less, and make a hole through it. Put a straw through the hole. so thaS one end nearly touches the bottom of the bottle, and the other is just above the top of the cork.
 Place piece of plotting paper on plate. Fill the bottle with water and stand 1t upon the plotting paper. Now get big glass jar, warm 1t. and quick ly turn it upside down over your small bottle. pressing 1t down upon the blot ting paper with your hand.
 In few moments you will see tiny stream of water shoot up from the bot tie. right up to the top of the jar. and this will continue until the bottle is al- most empty.
 Try it.

for our mans pane was Willy Amrhein.
 When he found himself close to the level of the nest he signaled stop and as the rope swung him to. he caught the ledge with his hook. drew close and gathered in the eaglets one by one, with infinite care. Then, with a sig nal down." he gently let go and start ed on the even more perilous descent, and the farther down he went the larger circles the rope described, and the more he was in danger of being smashed against the jutting rocks.

 Wait here for me-" commanded willy. and he descended as rapidly as he could in the right direction as noticed by his practiced eye. After time he returned with a broad smile on his face.
 "She's a bird. indeedp said he; seven feet. if she's an inch, from tip of wing to tip of wing"
 After this came tho daring work Having found a suitable ledge over hanging the nest. Willy directed us in arranging some heavy logs as sort of crane or support for a long pole, from the further end of which he had suspended stout rulley, and from the pulley hung a long and very strong double rope, to each end of which sack of rocks was attached.
 A set of signals Living been arrang- ed between us, he now descended the mountain to a ledge which was about fifty feet below the nest, prefer ring to ascend. from there rather than descend from where we were. for we were fully seventy-fve feet above the nest
 Removing one of the sacks of rock and carefully fastening into it's place a rude sort of leat, with a stout, sharp alpen hook in hand. and a couple of sacks in which t. place the young eagles, he gave the signal and we from above began to Lu,l him up in air.
 Slowly, Jerk by jerk, we fetched him up through the fifty feet of peril ous ascent When he got fairly swung out in air, we could see the rope begin to swing around in a circle It was all Willy could do by means of his alpen hook. to keep his body from striking against the jagged rocks.

Bird That Fishes

O NE of the most interesting objects

 Why, a baby fishing cormorant. The bird was caught early in the spring by a young Scotsman, and he taught 1t this useful Accomplishment.
 Now, don't you wonder how he taught 1t to be so clever? because you'd think wouldn't you?-that it would cat all the fish 1t caught.
 Well, he just put a ring round its neck so that 1t couldn't swallow, and sent it into the sea off the coast of Scotland and there 1t learned to fish.
 The owner of this clever bird was obliged to travel SO, thinking that other

But she simply said Thank you" never opening the package in front of him. so that he might have the joy of seeing her face when she saw what was in 1t.
