THE BUTTERFLY BALL.
"a Fairy Tale.)

The time selected for the butterfly
ball was when every one was asleep,
and not a sound broke the silence ex-
cept the murmur of light wind in the
trees, and the song of little stream
as it gurgled over the smooth pebbles.
At ~ o'clock all of the butterflies
met in a big rose garden nthe court
of the kings palace. FOR a Ions
time they had been hiding in the thick
shrubbery, and when their king gave
the signal, which was the ringing of a
tiny fairy bell, they crept out from
hooks and corners everywhere. They
had been butterflies for only short
WHILE before that they had been
princes and princesses. A wicked
spider had transformed them.
, The musicians were Mr.. Grasshop.
per, Mr.. Cricket and Miss Katydid.
Mr.. Grasshopper had on his new
spring suit and Miss Katydid was
dressed in her most becoming gown of
the palest green. They took their
places on the top Of the largest rose
bush in the yard, and began tuning
their instruments. The cricket seemed
to try his best, and was very success
full, for one and all agreed that they
had never before heard such enchant-
ing music.
Each one chose his partner and be-
gan dancing a slow dreamy waltz.
They fluttered and spread out their
filmy wings so as to show to the best
advantage the beautiful colors blended
in them. After they had finished
this waltz they began a ngnr two
step, and all the butterflies seemed to
dance with lighter steps as if there
had never before been such happiness
in their lives. For several hours the
dancing continued, and then the gray
moths served refreshments. These
were very dainty, consisting of "early
morning dew punch" honeysuckle and
rose honey served in white rose petals
and violet leaves. Besides this, they
had rose salad and violet nectar.
After the butterflies were served
they danced and talked little more
but when the city clock sounded ]
they fluttered away softly in every
direction, and by the time the people
in the castle were awake, the butter
flies we're gathering honey from the
newest blossoms, and looking as il
nothing out of the ordinary had ever
happened.

arrived in Gulfport and found the
town getting along nicely as usual.
1 found the streets throughout the
business section all paved with Bir-
mingham vitrified brick, layed on
seven inch concrete foundation. This is
certainly a great improvement and one
that is highly appreciated by the Wis
itors as we'll as the citizens of this
thriving city. l further learn that
the government dredge boat Bernard
has been quietly at work for the last
ten days or two weeks dredging the
channel and will probably continue
until the appropriation made by the
last congress of $4,000 is expended.
It is said, by reliable parties that
this great dradge boat (Which by the
wav is said to be the second largest
in the United States) is removing tho
dirt from the channel at a cost OF
about three and one-half cents per
cubic yard. The citizens of Gulfport
speak in the highest terms of the men
in charge of the ernard, and in fact
from all reports they deserve the nlgh-
est praise for the good work they
are doing in the town. Some of the
citizens say that if this work was
being done and uaid for by the cap
tain and his men that they could not
or would not show any greater inter
est nor work more conscientiously
than they are doing.

inb been assured that work will begin

plans of this building, it is said by
those who have seen it, is one that
any town or city would be proud Of.
There has been an appropriation al
ready of one hundred and sixty-five
thousand dollars for the postoffice
the lot has already been purchased
and paid for and when this building
is completed it will compare favor
ably with any government building
perhaps in the South. The writer
called at the Beach Hotel where he
found A. McAlpin har dat work with
crew of help renovating and i'm
proving this hotel. There will be
great improvements made in this
house and will be conducted in the
future by Mr.. A. McAlpin as proprie-
tor and Mrs. S. Mimms,, lady of long
hotel experience, as manager. Their
rates will be given on demand and the
travelling public will never regret Civ
ing this house trial under the new
management. There are quite num-
Der of beautiful new residences being
built along the beach, with others
to follow in the very near future.
