MFR. HOPKINS said that they
III would drive down Church street
AlA and select a shop in which
Mary could buy her present. but she
must not spend more than ten min
utes selecting it, for they must do
some more sightseeing. And the first
thing Mary saw was the thing she got
"a number of small docks and min!a-
ture ships, an exact representation of
those at Liverpool.
They then went to see some of the
public buildings. Town hall was the
first one visited Then the municipal
offices, a quadrangular building in the
classic style, at one end of which is a
tower 210 feet high.
They spent some time in the ex-
change buildings, which are in the
French renaissance style. They
have an inside colQnnade surround
ing a quadrangle which is called The
Flags, in which there are markets for
cotton and general produce. Then 1t
was time to go back to the hotel
After they were rested the party
discussed their plans for the next day
Mr. Hopkins said they would have to
leave for London the next day and the
only convenient train was the one at
IL in the morning.
They decided to go to the theater
and so went to the Alexandra, which
is the largest in Liverpool.
The next day they saw the Botanic
gardens and ST. James cemetery be-
fore leaving for London.
They got off the train in the even
ing at London very tired and went inn
mediately to the Palace hotel.

have to bother running out to flap our
aprons"
Didn't Uncle Tom and Aunt Jane
laugh, though! They thought Jennie
the oldest child in the world; but she
wouldn't give them any time to talk
about her-she must know something
about hawks.
Then Uncle Tom told her that hen
hawks build their nests in tall trees
and lay from two to three eggs.
But the hired man showed me a
hawks nest the other day as large as
a bushel basket" said Jennie.
"Oh, that was the fish hawk. He
catches fish instead of chickens"
"What does he want such big nest
for?" asked Jennie.
"They come back to the same nest
year after year, and naturally add an
other addition. Some of the sticks with
which they build their nests are as
large as broomsticks."
"And just to think, Uncle, blackbirds
had their nests stuck all around the
big hawks nest" laughed Jennie, for
L saw them"
Eyes, they often do that. They are
bold little creatures, the very saueiest
bird that flies. unless it is the crow.
How he sneers at the farmer as he
pulls up the corn he has just planted
he afraid of the hawk? No, indeed!"-

Honorable Mention)

KAT ET'S go in here" said Mr.. Hop
Il kins, and as they all stopped
- in front of an enticing looking
toy shop he pointed out some beautiful
dolls and asked Mary if one of those
would suit.
YES! Yes! oh, papa, may I, really
and. truly, have the one with the pink
dress?" exclaimed Mary joyfully So
in they went, and the doll with the
pink dress was purchased, with trunk
and travelling clothes into the bargain.
The doll was certainly a beauty She
had long brown curls parted on the
side and tied with an immense pink
bow; she had real eyelashes and great
brown eyes. While Mary and Jessie
were admbiring the doll, Mr.. Hopkins
bought a second doll for Jessie, just
the counterpart of Mary's, except that
hers had blue eyes, light curls and
blue dress. When the girls reached
the hotel you can imagine their delight
in seeing two dolls instead of one,
and two dear little trunks filled with
all the accessories of the dollies' tot
lettes. There were combs, brushes and
looking glasses, ribbons for the dollies'
hair, party dresses, everyday dresses,
travelling dresses, coats, hats, and even
several pairs of shoes and stockings,
and pairs of rubbers accompanied by
mackintoshes and Umbrellas.
The next morning Mr. Hopkins or
dered a touring car, in which they
went through the beautiful parks with
the superb trees and great Velvety
lawns spreading under the trees.
There were many beautiful deer, but
the graceful creatures refused to
come near, although the children called
coaxingly.
After dinner Mr.. Hopkins sprung a
surprise upon them by announcing that
the party would leave at 3 o'clock that
afternoon for London, so everyone hur
ried away to pack. The o'clock train
bore them away a party of happy peo-
pie in the second class carriage, for
everyone in England who is not a
prince or a fool rides second or third
class.
They passed through smoky factory
towns and peasant villages, where the
dogs barked at the train and the peas
antry gazed in silent wonder.
When they at last reached the city Of
London it was enveloped in yellow fog
in which you could hardly see your
hand before your face. Our party
drove in a cab to the Hotel Cecil and
after hearty supper and bath, which
took some of the travel stains away
went gladly to bed.

This was not easy to do for Mary's
father had promised to get her some-
thing just as nice as the lamb. They
looked at many things, but none of
them was as desirable to Mary. Being
unable to find anything that would
suit, they went back to the hotel.
Presently Mr.. Hopkins went out.
When he came back he told Mary that
he had brought her a lamb. Mary
rushed into the other room and there
saw beautiful, woolly image of a
lamb She ran up and Rugged it. Tn
doing SO she moved its head and made
it bleat This startled Mary. but never
theless she was very much pleased with
her artificial lamb.
The next day they took the train for
London. They stayed over at Oxford
and Birmingham. At oxford Jessie
was taken sick and they were delayed.

Worlds Bull ADAMS, Rats

The bill of damages which civiliza-
ton holds against the rodents foots up
into tremendous figures. According to
the experts of the bureau of biograph
ical survey of the department of agri
culture, Uncle Sam alone has to pay
$3.50. 600, 600 every year on account of
property damages inflicted by the pests.
John Bull and the kaiser between them
fork over $3.50, 200, 900. ,..
The rat bills of the world would
reach into the billions. says Success.
Sir James Crichton-Br Browne. president
Of a recently formed international union
of scientific organizations working
together for the determination of rats,
declared that every rat in the United
States costs the citizens at least two
cents day for its keep.
In England a rate from one-half to
Ave cents daily. The British India rat
is the most expensive rodent of them
all, for there each of the innumerable
swarIning millions of the pest consume
on an average of three cents daily.
If you add to the cost of the board
and lodging of rats the expense of
maintaining and of fighting the. dis
eases spread by them, the. average
specimen of the rodent tribe preying on
civilized nations may be said to cost us
from seven to ten cents day.

Faith" All That Was Left

a young Philadelphia Sunday school
teacher tells this story of the result of
an attempted application of the prin-
ciples of economics:
For some time she had endeavored to
impress upon the minds of one of her
charges the names of the three qualities
faith, hope, and charity. One Sunday
she. presented the pupil of the Door
memory with three new shining coins,
penny tive-cent piece, and o dime.
THE penny" she said, represents
faith, the fivc-cent piece hope, and the
dime charity. Keep these coins and
every time You look at them think of
what they stand for"
The Sunday following the teacher
reviewed the lesson Of the week before.
and called upon the holder of the coins
to produce them and give their names
i'll proper sequence. Tho youngster
shuffied from one leg to the other,
stamincrcd, blushed and seemed al
together overcome with modification
Finally he burst out with:
please, Miss Fanny, amt got
nuthin' left hut faith. Baby swal-
Tered hope, and mama took charity and
bought ten cents worth of meat ter

Terrific Stern in Death valley

For the first time in history so far as
anyone is able to learn, q terrible storm
has swept Death valley. leaving ruin
and desolation in its wake.
Yesterday the news was received in
TonOpah Of the severest storm that has
ever occurred in that region of utter
desolation so far as vegetation and the
such are concerned. From what details
could Ike learned, prospectors were
racing for their lives to places of safety.
Burros have been rendering the days
and nights hideous with their pitiful
walls and many have met death. -.
AT this writing it is not known
whether or not any lives have been lost,
but it is generally supposed that many
met terrible fate in the roaring floods
that caused Furnace creek to overflow
it's banks. Residents along the banks
Of that heretofore pacific stream have

Another report is to the effect that

River Swallows Eight Tons Ore
l.. CAIRO

To have ones labor and prospects for
u nice little stake swept away by O
huge sand wave on the Colorado River
was the luck which recently befell H.
Fletcher Harris of EldoradeDn .en.a.s
Mr.. Harris had taken out eight tons
of high-grade ore from his property
and was on his way down the river to
the smelter at Needles, there to turn
his ore into coin Of the realm. But
suddenly great sand wave struck the
boat, capsizing it and sending it's
precious cargo to the bottom.
Those who have never seen storm
on the Colorado River cannot appreci-
ate the strength and fury of the waves,
heavy with silt, as they rush mp stream.

citizen feel when he goes next spring to
his tailor or his clothier and is forced to
pay an advance of 25 per cent over the
prices of the year before2
Will he not feel that the Democratic

The campaign of 1908 was not "bom-

masters, who are robbing the American
