TALE OF A DOGS TAIL
A Nature Fakir's story that Ought to
Interest Leaders of the
Profession.

Did you ever see a dog chase its tail?
Well, there was once a dog that had a little
trouble with a lion and the lion chased the
dog off the field. 1t hurt the dogs feel
ings very much. because he was a very
fierce and brilliant and ambitious dog; but
he took courage again and bided his time.
Pretty soon the dog espied a little lamb that
was enjoying a very comfortable place in
the worlds green pasture, and Just be-
cause the dog thought he could do 1t, ne
whirled In and tried to eat that little lamb
up. But, as bad luck would have 1t, the
little lamb had lots of friends who came TO
his aid and made him secure 80 his place
again. To be outdone twice ia succession
was almost more than the dog could stand.
He was enraged. he was fierce, almost mad
with disappointment and envy. He felt as
II he must chase something at once. But it
happened to be a lonely spot at that point
on the road and there was no animal to
contend withholding TO chase. In his
nervous. fury he caught sight OF his own
swlshing tail. And then the chase began.
II was fast and fu~riOus-Tound and round
he went. stretching his neck and ~gnawing
savagely at the tail, which, / forgot to say.
was a short, stump one. He soon had the
stump tail in his teeth, and in his rage he
gobbled II right down, all OF It, right up to
the roots. The pain seemed to increase his
fury. and he continued to bite and snaw
away-the stump was gone. and still he
chewed where the tail ought to be. The
fact Is. to make the story short. that dog
ate up his hind auRrters-and then his loins
and then his back and ribs-and then his
chest and shot lders-and then his neck
and then his ears-and then his head, and
then-there was just the terrible mouth
LEFT. But the mouth continued TO work
work, work, just as furiously as ever. gong
round and round and round. The rotating
mouth was draped in foam, through which
the sharp, crashing teeth showed distinctly
Round and round the foaming. gnashins

ms, raging wildly ever after.
Did this dog. reduced to his pitiable state
present a specked-axled appearance? He
did. Did he Look as II he had been unkint
to himself? He did. Did he seem to hav,
more than bit his nose off to spite his face
He did. Did the spectators think Il would
be well II the rotating mouth would en-,
deavor to calm ITSELF They did. Did the!
wish that some one would slip a paper bal

APPEAL FOR CRECHE FUND
Assistance of Boys and Girls is Asked
for Little Shutups
SAVE PENNIES FOR THESE TOTS
Mrs. T. l.. KImbalI, President of the
Board of Directors Issues an
Appeal for Financial
Aid.

MIS- l. ~ NllAbalit FANSahS'N NS
board of directors of the Creche, has is
sued an appeal to the boys and girls Of
Omaha for assistance in the permanent
maintenance of the Creche' Children's Pleas
ure fund, and she asks them to save their
spare pennies for this cause.
Through the generosity of several boys
and girls out in the West Farnam district
a substantial nucleus for this fund has
been established and If every boy and girl
in Omaha who can afford to will contribute
a few pennies it will not be long before the
little folks of the Creche will be able to
enjoy many an outing.
do you know Mrs. Kimball says in her
appeal, that these thirty children in the
Creche have no yard, no green grass to
play on all summer and no place to roll
snow balls, make snow men or slide In the
winter? They have only their big porch
with it's little seats painted grass color
to play on. The fathers and mothers OF
these little folks are too poor to do more
than help the Creche board buy their
clothes and get them something to eat. They
nave to work out all day and their children
have to be taken care of by someone else.
That is what the Creche does-provides a
nice, clean, warm place where these little
boys and girls may be taken care of and
given something to eat. But by the time the
the Creche has not much money left with
which to take the children for street car
rides and to picnics.

How They Love the Parks.

Boys and girls who have homes and
yards don't know how much these little
shutups live to go to Hanscom park; how
they enjoy running and playing in the
grass on the rare occasions when they are
privileged to do so and how for weeks
afterward they make believe do 1t all
over again on their porch, even to being
the white ducks that swim about on the
lake at the park. This pleasure fund is to
provide indoor fun In winter and outdoor
fun in summer 1t will pay street car fare
to the parks and buy tickets to the ALI
~son-Daugherty Wild West show. If 1t ever
comes again. The fund has already be
gun to grow and is now nearly twice as
few pennies from other boys and girls will
give the little shutups many a pleasant
outing. Please send every penny you can
spare to Mrs. Julia Weidt, matron OF The
Creche. Nineteenth and Harvey streets, and
some day you will hear what glorious good
times this pleasure fund brings to The
Creche."
The original fund Of Sl+5 was the
gift of the Allison-Daugherty Wild
West show, chat very creditable per-
Torrance gotten up last summer by
the children OF DR.. and Mrs, C. c.
Allison, Mr.. and Mrs. John Daugherty. Mr..
and Mrs. Luther Kountze and Mr.. and
Mrs. T. C. Byrne. With their ponies and
their wild west ~trappings they gave
several performances, dividing the proceeds
between three very worthy local organiza-
tions, The Creche being one of them.

A Terrible Situation,

There can be few more terrible dis
coveries than that the man in your
company has suddenly gone mad and
that you cannot escape him. That was
the position of an old lady and her fe-
male companion when, just as their
train was gliding out of London ter
minus. man popped into the carriage
and banged the door after him. The
/. first stop was eighty miles away, and
lit seemed as far as eternity when the
man produced from his pocket num-
Der of razors and began to cut up an
orange. The old lady gave her fur boa
an extra twist about her throat. "Do
you like Granger said the maniac as
he stuck a piece on the end Of razor
and popped 1t into her mouth. She ac-
cepted the gift with thanks, and he
was anxious to feed her with more.
She assured him that she liked to eat
her orange slowly and made 1t last.
She had to make each portion given to
her on the razor last her so long that
there was still piece or two left when

An Odd Place of Worship.

Burma can show the oldest place of
worship to be found anywhere in the
world. Some miles out of Moulmein,
in the middle of great plain. stands
lone rock so peculiar in form as
never to be forgotten after once seen.
Ages ago the caves which honeycomb
this fortress were transformed from
the habitats of bats and wild animals
into places of devotion. Thousands of
images of Buddha are carved on the
walls, and in every chamber bronze,
stone or wooden gods are standing, sit
ting or reclining in endless silence. 1t
is computed that many millions of feet
have pressed the earthen floors of these
sacred caverns. Boston Transcript.

Not all Always Little Angels

One OF the most foolish ideas that
people get is that their children are
misused at school. The teacher wants,
and tries 20 far as it does not conflict
with duty, to get the good will of every
pupil. Not only success depends upon
it, but also the teachers position in
school. People should disabuse their
minds OF the idea that their children
are 'little angels" The pupils life
cannot be continually adorned with
posies. If he is to be trained to be
strong and useful man, he will meet
some of the strenuous" before he has
gone very far In school. He ought
to be told to be man and tackle the
difficulties that come up and master
them, rather than to be petted and
spoiled by blaming the teacher for the
trouble. A parent says that the teach
er refused to find word for her boy
in the dictionary. We presume that
mother spreads" her boys bread at
meals, and probably feeds him his

Soap Clubs.

It is claimed that there are about
fifty "soap clubs" in Reynoldsville and
West Reynoldsyille. There are ten men,
bers in a club and each member must
buy $1,000 worth OF groceries, &c.
One lady, who is member of club,
says sne has been paying 35 cents per
pound to the club house for coffee
that she can buy in Reynoldsville for
20 cents a pound. The company that
gives liberal premiums cannot sell high
grade goods as cheap as you can buy
the goods at home. Making people
believe they are getting something for
nothing is the bait that catches. These
clubs send large amount of money
out OF town that should be spent here,
and in the long run the members OF
the clubs don't save or gain anything.
