dread rain" said Zoo keeper in the
Bronx. "On a rainy day they tear
neryously up and down their cages,
growing and trembling. We usually
give them an extra ration of hot
milk. That puts them to sleep.
Wolves love a gray day of rain. They
are then very CHEEKY. Treacherous
as the wolf is, no keeper need fear
him on a rainy day. He is too happy
to harm a fly. Snakes, too, like the
rain. They perk up wonderfully as
the barometer falls and the damp
makes itself felt in their warm cases
of glass.
Rain makes monkeys glum. They
are apt from instinct, when they see
1t through the window, to clasp their
hands above their heads and sit so
for hours. That attitude, you know,
makes a kind Of shelter. 1t is the

in reality he was holding a very re-
markable conversation with-a white
giant.
Now you wonder why a giant
should be in a plain little Scottish
kitchen, and you will be still more
surprised to learn that this giant
could make himself invisible, and
when in that state lived in tea ket-
tie. The little boys name was
James, and James used to sit by the
fire-and think. For you must know
he was thoughtful lad One day
he noticed the lid Of the tea kettle

Shooting stars.

Shooting stars are not real stars at
all. but are small bodies which the
earth runs into and which are mace
so hot by friction in the atmosphere
that they are burned up. the real
stars, as those of the dipper, are
very, very far away, so far that no
one knows the distance. They are
bright bodies like our sun, but seem
like points of light because they are
so far of. AS the earth moves about
the sun, it frequently meets little
bodies. It is moving so fast that
when it strikes them the friction IN
the air is very great and usually they
are burned up. They seem like moving
stars, but are really only few miles
above US in our atmosphere. Some
times one is 80 large that it comes
through the air, without being Who'll

owning Up.

Creak, creak, creak. The door OF
the carriage-house swung on its hing
es. On top Of it sat Robbie II was
only half a door. so Robbie could sit
on TOP of 1t when It was shut. Il
was great fun to swing on the door,
almost as much fun as riding on the
merry-go-round.
Come on and ride" called Bobbie
to Myrtle, who came out Of the house
at that moment with Lucy.
Maybe grandpa wouldn't like it"
said Myrtle.
"Oh, he won't care"
81 can't sit on alone, III fall of"
cried Lucy, as she tried to balance
herself on the narrow top Of the door.
Get up and hold her on, Myrtle,
and I'll sit on the other side and push,
and wen ride together"
Myrtle climbed up beside Lucy, and
Robbie took his place on the other
side.
"An aboardl Here we got" he
shouted, giving a vigorous shove with
his foot.
The door swung open little way,
then-rip, rip, crack-its free end
settled to the ground.
20, it's breaking, it's breaking"
shrieked Lucy and Myrtle, scrambling
down from the door as fast as they
could.
The top hinge had pulled away from
the wood, there could be no mistake
about that Grandpa would be very
angry Robbie thought of this as he
stood looking at the broken door.
Lets go to the wood to play" he
said.
why, Robbie Moore, I'm ashamed
of you! Wen do nothing Of the
kind, wen go out to grandpa and ask
him how to fix it," said Myrtle. indig-
nantly.
1t was hard task for Robbie to go,
but he marched of with the girls, and
before they reached the field he said
he would tell grandpa himself
Grandpa didn't scold very hard
when he saw how sorry the children
were.
"Wedlike to pay for fixing it, said
Robbie, who was surprised to find
how much pleasanter it was to face
trouble than to run away from it.
We'll, don't know just what l
can give you to do" replied grandpa,
at Robbie's unusual thoughtfulness,

Power of the Press.

We had the editor OF a weekly pa
per with us on part of the journey
across North Dakota by team, and at
one village hotel the landlord found
out what an honored guest he had
and refused to charge him any bill.
The editor returned HIS thanks and
we were about ready TO leave when
the landlord beckoned him aside and
said:
Stranger, being an editor, you can
do anything, It's up TO me to so to
the Legislature"
"Yes?" was the reply.
"And my son Bill wants to be
elected sheriff of this county"

stern until come back" cautioned
his father.
He tied the boat to the stern Of the
sloop and then nimbly climbed
aboard. He was gone a long time, so
long that Freddy got worried. What
would he do II anything happened to
his father2 Could he row back TO
the lighthouse? What If another
storm should come up and make the
ocean very rough?
He was thinking Of such dreadful
things when Mr.. May appeared above
and shouted:
Nobody aboard, Freddy. She's
been deserted for long time. Wen
60 back home now"
This announcement was not pleas
ing to our little mariner What a
disappointment to go to a shipwreck
and then find nobody, and not even
60 aboard the wreck!
But, papa, there might be some
body in--in-"
His father shook his head.
''No, lad, I've been everywhere"
Then, noticing the disappointment
on the little face he added: But IL
you want to come aboard and look
I'll let you, I forgot this was your
first shipwreck. Here, now, hold fast
to my hand and I'll pull you up"
Freddy climbed up, with his faith
er's assistance, almost as easily as a
veteran sailor. He stood on the deck
of the old abandoned sloop in a mo-
ment. One glance showed him the
awful desolation of the wave-swept
craft. Mast, spars, sail and rigging
were tumbled about in a confused
mass, and part Of the cargo of lum-
Der was shifted over to one side.
'Be careful, little man, and hold
tight to my hand" his father can
toned. "I'll take you to the cabin,
and show you what an abandoned
boat looks like"
Freddy seemed to come naturally
into the use of his little sea legs. He
did not lurch and roll with each toss
of the boat, but walked steadily for
ward. When they came to the cabin
Mr.. May threw open the door and
Suddenly both of them started.
Something moved inside, and then
there was a mild cry of some fright
ened animal. Out of the darkness a
bundle of white appeared 1t came
directly toward Freddy and mewed.

Freddy took the frightened Great
ure in his arms and stroked its soft
fur. The kitten mewed and rubbed
its nose in his face.
do you suppose he belongs to
somebody, papa?" asked Freddy, anx-
iously
1T belongs TO you, little man, If to
any one. You rescued him, and
don't think anybody will take it away
from YOU"
All the way back to the lighthouse
home Freddy held the kitten in his
arms, and stroked and patted its
head. In his affection for the ship
wrecked cat he even forgot to notice
the waves or the condition OF the
weather. The one fact to Impress his
mind was that he had made his first
rescue from a sbipwreck, and he
would always keep the kitten for his
own. He wanted playmate kit
ten or a dog-and now the sea had
brought him one all for his own self.

Taxas Circus Too Cheap.

A special from Lexington says:
Upon advice of State Auditor
James, Auditors Agent M. P.
Reborn, of this city, will shortly
file suits against the county clerks
of various counties in the State,
where circuses have exhibited
this year and enforced the col
lection of the statutory State
license of this class of amuse-
ment.
Mr.. Reborn has discovered that
in practically every county where
John Robinson's circus, which
toured Kentucky this summer,
exhibited, only a nominal State
license of S. as provided under
the old law, was collected from
the show by the county clerks.
The new State revenue law pro-
vides that S. for each one hum
dred voters in the county, not to
exceed $50, must be collected for
each performance Of the main
show and half this sum for each
side show, according to Mr.. Re-
horns contention.
If the county clerks in the
counties where the circus ex-
hibited did not collect from the
circus management on this basis,
when the city or town license was
paid, he contends that the coun-
ty clerk is liable. The State, he
contends, has been deprived Of
hundreds of dollars Of revenue
to which it is entitled from this
source by the negligence or over
sight of the county clerks and an
effort will be made to collect
these delinquent amounts from
the county clerks or their bonds
men.

Here's a Good Prayer.

In prayer at the Denver con-
vention the Rev. Christian F.
Reisoner said: "May we keep our
heads clear, our hearts warm and
our hands strong for the help of
man. Equip us to be good citi-
zens. Make us brave and indus
trious. Shame us from whimper-
ing and whining. Save us from
cringing or lodging. Face us
squarely before every issue until
it is solved just right. Keep us
from deceit and falsehood. Fit
us, if necessary, to fight stiffiy
and hopefully for the square
thing. May defeat with the
right and the blood marked brow
be more desirable than victory
with wrong and a jeweled crown
of power.
