his beauty. ClariolPs registered num-
Der is AIS, and he was raised in a
celebrated Morgan stud in Montana
where Mr.. johnson bought him few
months ago for $1,000.
There were &c exhibits in all inelud-

OUR SATURDAY TALK.

III RECEIVED q great many letters
during the week urging the adop-
ton of the plan to form q Juve-
nile Humane Society among our MEM
bers. Not a single one of my little
friends spoke in opposition TO the idea,
This proves hat you all have a very
kindly feeling for the dumb creatures
that look to us for protection and care.
Some of the letters were very en-
thusiastic. May Flaherty writes that
her two brothers and herself will try
to be the very first to join and viii
conscientiously live up to the pledge to
be kind to all animals. May Bellin-
grath states that she now has two pet
cats and some chickens and will al
ways try to shield them from harm.
Frieda Meter says that it is the duty
of every reader of the "Children's Cor
ner" to be kind to all animals. Bea-
trice Brodsky is DESTROYS of having her
name enrolled. Carolyn Vaughan is
anxious to pledge herself to the good
cause, n dozens of others have writ
ten for a STAR button to show that
they are members. / am now having
these buttons made, and will announce
some evening during the coming week
when they will be ready for distribu-
ton. Watch the "Children's Corner
and be anon the first TO make appll-
cation on the blank that viii be printed.
There will be absolutely no charge for
membership in the society.
Speaking of being humane to the
animals reminds us that tho immortal
George Washington, whose birthday
we celebrate today, was particularly
kind to all dumb creatures. When a
boy he made a great pet of his dog-a
beautiful i~ong-eared setter named Rat
tier. They were inseparable. Wherever
he went Rather was sure to be at his
side. We often think of George Wash
as the soldier. patriot and Presi-
dent, but ever with all of these hohors
and duties I am sure that iC he We're
alive today he would find time to en-
courage the formation of a. humane So
such as we are planning. Yours
truly, UNCLE JACK.

is not a very difficult part to play in a.
quiet country district. When he was
married it was all right, but since he
has been a widower we have had no
end of trouble with him. A few:months
ago we were in hopes that he was
about to settle down again, for he be-
came engaged to Rachel Howells, Il
second housernaid, but he has thrown
her over since then and taken up with
Janet Tregellis. the daughter of the
head ~gamekeeper. Rachel-who is a
very good girl. but of an eXcitable
Welsh temperament-had a sharp touch
of brain fever, and goes about the
house now-or liz until yesterday
like a black-eyed shadow of her former
self. That was our first drama at
Hurlstone, but a second one came to
drive it from our minds, and 1t was.
prefaced by the disgrace and dismissal
of butler Brunton.
""This was how 1t came about. L

gent, and this very intelligence has

to which this would carry him, until

"I have said that the house is a
rambling one. One day last week-on
Thursday night, to be more exact-I
found that I could not sleep. having
foolishly taken a cup Of strong cafe
noir after my dinner. After struggling
against it until 2 in the morning, 1
felt that it was quite hopeless, so [
rose and lit the candle with the in
tention of continuing a novel which L

been left in the billiard-room, so [

started off to get 1t.

WHEN YOU Do
YOUR MENDING.

Rents will look much better when
mended if they are attended to at once,
because the longer they are left the
more ragged the edge becomes.
Lay the garment right side down and
put the edges of the rent as close to-
gether as possible. Cut a piece of
mendins tissue rather larger thar the
space hat Is torn. and lay on top.
Take a piece of thin wooden ma
terial the same size as the tissue and
as near the color of the cloth as pos
sible, lay this on top of the tissue, and

ton iron with a hot iron until tue patch
adheres 20 the garment.
h heat will cause the tissue to dis
solve. forming a sort of glue.
If the material is of lightweight goods
it win be best to use a patch of ex-
actly the same sort of goods, but If
the material is heavy, such as is used
in mems suits or coats, a lighter
weight patch will be better.

TWILIGHT CHAT.

It is not to be denied that few of US
write letters nowadays. We spend a
great deal of our time at u writing
table, when we consume untold guam
titles of ink and paper, but we neither
write nor receive letters. The utmost
we do is to dash off notes. in answer
to invitations, to "scribble a few lines
of congratulations or sympathy. as the
case may be. with a friend: to express
briefly but forcibly our dissatisfaction
with our dressmaker or milliner or to
send for a maid.
As for our absent relatives, on the
rare occasion when we remember their
existence at all, we send them our love
or a picture postcard. with a few de-
tails about the weather, ending in
much haste with the hope that they.
are well and will write. o and tell
us all their news.
OF course. they never do. which Is
just as well, as if they did we should
in all probability never have time to
wade through their letters.
