BESSIE'S BATH.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: One day Bes-
sic, little girl of nine years. went to the park
to hunt for leaves with few other girls. They
gathered for a long time. and soon had leaves OF
every sort and shape.
After a while they TO large pond and
stood watching the fish. Suddenly Bessie ex-
claimed: oh, grls see that pretty leaf out there
I going try to get it.
NO. no! You mustn't. Bessie" cried the girls
But Bessie, not needing what they said got down
on her knees and began to fish for the leaf with
a stick. It came nearer and nearer and Bessie
almost had 1t when, splash! and she tumbled head
over heels into the water. The girls began TO
scream, and they attracted the attention OF
a policeman. The water not very deep, and
soon he had her out. Then the girls took her
home, where her mother dried her. She told her
mother that night that she would always think
twice before she did anything silly.

 Among thy peers 'tis thy lot to shine. Why finger here? Come, mount and ride Upon my horse, a steed of pride Here is my cloak, of golden sheen, My spurs, my sword, and doublet green :" The Hermit rose, and curious look Passed OCT his face. He rose and took His staff, his cruse, his beads and all, He gave them fling, and he let thsm fall Far and wide on the craven floor, AS oAe Wuo never uceu tuen noEcs Come Haste." he cried: T long to see The acres broad that belong to me; The towers and trees and the manor old, The boxes, iron-ribbed; the gold, And all that wealth and power can bring To noble rich as a Moorish King!"

 by the delay in the completion of the equestrian statue of Lafayette in Paris, for which sixty thousand dollars was subscribed. chiefly by American school children, nine or ten years ago. A pronzed model of the statue was un- yelled with elaborate ceremonies during the last Paris exposition In 1900. The sculptor, Paul Waylnnd Bartlett, was not satisfied with this model, and he has been at work on the figure ever since. The latest reports from him in- dicate that he has finally produced a statue which commends itself to his Judgment, and he will soon be ready to have 1t cast in bronze. In the mean time the model that was unveiled in 1900 has fallen to pieces, and Its ruins have been removed from the pedestal
 Americans in Paris are wondering when the completed figure will be set up. The reputation of MT. Bartlett, the sculptor, Is such that one may safely look for a fine work of art when he >ays that he has done his best with It

Leigh Lynch, while he lived, was a happy man. In the first place, he was the husband of lovely and gentle Anna Teresa Berger. the belle of the bell ringers in her girlhood; secondly, be had the years-long friendship and inti- mate companionship of Eugene Field thirdly, he was the father of family of children in whom was centered his unselash hope. He used to carry his business cares and pleasures home, where he was always sure of ready and generous sympathy. For several years he was treasurer of the Union Square Theater. in New York. One evening at dinner, in presence of his little daughter, Marie, he mentioned to Mrs. Lynch that the gross receipts of the week had risen to an unprecedented height The next day Marie asked to be taken to the matinee.
 "All right, dumpling," assented the fond father. What seats would you like?

 "Yes," said Eudora, gently. "He is. If he were not happy Clara could not be. In marriage the happiness of one means the happiness of both"
 "And-er-the misery of one means the misery of both, doesn't ita" asked Cloobin.

 Eudora let her eyellds fall, raised them swiftly in shy glance and then let them fall again.
