IN OLD HOLLAND.

1t was an Englishman who said:

If he had seen the Breiben School
of Laren he could have made newer
and a better proverb, says st. Mich
olas.
Every bright day four little Dutch
maids sit on the bench before Mev-
rouw Kosta's door and Janike
teaches them to knit. Anna, who is
ten, clicks her needles fast and even
ly, but Wilhelmina, who is only six,
crooks her fat, pudgy fingers pain
fully round the yarn and sighs.
She knows well that it is necessary
to be clever to live in Laren, for
Laren, let me tell you, is most dis
tinguished place, very different from
the rest of Holland; apd Wilhelmina
knows it is quite mountainous there,
for it is thirteen feet above the sea.

When the sun sends out long, level
rays across the fiat, green fields, and
the windmill throws its queer shad-

carry them home with right good

the long Dutch twilight begins.

HOW THE DOLLS HELPED ISABEL

HOW THE DOLLS HELPED ISABEL
Monday morning in vacation is hor-
rid. Isabel thought SO as she rue
fully eyed the big pile of breakfast
dishes. Washday mamma always did
the dining room and kitchen work,
while Janet was busy in the laundry,
and always in vacation time Isabel had
to help. To-day mamma had sope
extra work, and it was Isabel's task
to wash and dry the dishes all alone.
"They're just mountains high" she
declared.
They weren't at. all, though 1 must
confess that there we're a good many
Of them.
When mamma mad called to her
the dishes were ready, Isabel was
busy playing with her numerous fam
lily of dolls. Very reluctantly she laid
Gertrude Maud back into her bed,
and covered Gladys Emily carefully
in The doll carriage, and started with
tagging footsteps toward the kitchen.
She filled the big dishpan with hot
water, and gave the glasses. then the
silver, their morning bath. Some
how the large kitchen seemed lonely
without either mamma or Janet, in
spite of the fact that the sunshine was
streaming in brightly through the
windows. Then sudden thought
came to her.

she said to herself.
So Gertrude Maud and Gladys
Emily, and the smaller dolls, Hetty
and Lillian, and black Alice with
her apron and turban, looking very
much fitted for her task, were all
seated in a row on the big table, with
their backs against the wall and their
feet sticking out straight in front OF
them.
Then Isabel began her game. 1.-THE
plates you shall wash and wipe" she
said, addressing Gertrude Maud,
cause you're the biggest"
So Isabel carefully washed and
wiped the plates, and placed them In
front of Gertrude.
"And the cups and saucers belong
to you, Gladys. Be sure to do them
nicely" she said.
Then they were done, and piled on
the table by Gladys.
The smaller dolls, Hetty and Lii
liam, had the little butterplates and
oatmeal dishes to do.
lieye that they didn't want to do them
at all, and then had to scold them a
little and remind them that such
tasks had to be done by little girls,
and it was, we'll to learn how to do
them properly.
Black Alice had the frying-pan and
oatmeal pot to do. But the next time
Isabel had the dishes to do alone,
and the dollies helped, Gertrude Maud
did the pans, cause it doesn't seem
fair, just cause she's black for her

When mamma came in and saw the
row of dollies and the nicely washed
dishes, she was much pleased with

strapped to her saddle.
"You two light-weIghts can soon
catcI me up, he said, riding off.
Lena stopped in the middle of the
lane, and proceeded to endeavor, un-
aided, to loosen the straps around
her jacket; but her gloves were wet,
and the slippery leather refused to
submit. Then Mistley forced his
horse into the ditch and so reached
her side.
'I have no gloves on" he said,
quietly, as he leaned over and took
possession of the straps.
Thank you," said she, looking
rather anxiously after her retreating
parent.
In a moment Winyard had un-
buckled the straps and shaken out
the short thick jacket. Then he took
her bride in his disengaged hand,
and SO left her free. - But fortune
was against her; the collar of the
jacket got turned in, and Mistley had
to take both reins in one hand while
he leaned back and assisted her.
When he had done this, and Lena
had hecured the last button, she held
out her hand for the reins; but he
retained them for a moment longer
"Am I forgiven?" he asked.
"For what?" Lena looked rather
markedly at the sky, as if in gentle
protest against being detained in the
rain.
For having my own way"
ooh, I do not mind acting the
part" she replied, with short laugh
1t is in little incidents-in the
trivialities of everyday life-that
a man shows his knowledge of human
nature. VINEYARD now suddenly
abandoned the subjest, and drew
aside to let Lena pass.

A correspondent of the London
Times calls attention to the need OF
an automatic recording speed 1ndl-
Gator for railway trains. Both or the
most recent important fatal railway
casualties in England were undoubt-
edly caused by excessive speed at
points where the regulations required
a slowing down. Engine drivers be-
come reckless and disregard rules,
safely at first, but ultimately meet
with disaster. If the record OF speed
during each trip were to be submitted
to INSPECTION there would be less dis
obedience and greater safety. Pos

Washington and was graduated from the
Central High School in the class of 1883,

S. Hurlbut of Cleveland, Ohio, and made
her home in that city.
For more than a year she had suffered
i'll health but her friends were not aware
of the serious nature of her illness, hence
the news of her death Friday, September
1S brought a sudden and unexpected
sorrow TO many who for years had known
her.
The interment was made in the family
lot in Rock Creek cemetery. Rev. John

services and made simple and impress
sive address. in which he paid an eloquent
tribute to her life and character.
