cRIIFr MISS sMITH.

There is very common plant in
Australia known as the 'black-boy, 2
and here is funny story about it.
Two young American army officers
were visiting in small Australian
town, and both happened to meet the
same young lady. They were talk
ing about her one evening and one
said to the other:
81 think Miss Smith is a very sweet
girl"
ooh, do your" replied his brother.
SIT seems to me that she is terribly
cruel. Why, what do you suppose
she told me? She said she was riding
yesterday morning. and that she was
so much interested watching par
ade that she rode right over a little
black-boy and killed it! And when
] asked her If she didn't feel dread
fully about it she laughed and said:
ooh, no; she didn't think it made any
difference; there were plenty more. /"

purchased it said it would lay in
about week, and told me how to
make nest for it. put a wad, of
cotton in one corner of the cage,
made nest for it and waited to see
what the bird would do. The first
thing she did was to take the cotton
bit by bit and put it in the nest. Then
one morning after the nest was com
pleted found small green egg, the
next morning another, and so on until
there were four little eggs. But the
day after the four were laid the nest

likely lay again, as the eggs did not
hatch. The other day / noticed that

Farmers about Teetertown spend
much of their time s'talkin' crops

farm near Teetartowh. Nauright is
modest. He does not pretend to

New Jersey. Nauright takes pride in
the fertility of his farm. When he

Sweater Goats.

The automobile is where the new
long sweater coats. or coat sweaters,
are best appreciated. They are light
to carry or wear, take up no room,
and are most acceptable If suddenly

ing. And there is wicked delight in
being perfectly comfortable as one

coat but really in coy sweater.

Meteor Falls in Garden.

A meteor, six feet in diameter, tore
up Manning Cooper's garden at New

ball a short distance away say there

fame through the air and that the
earth steamed where the ball of fire,
as they called it. entered. The green

CHICKADEE.

Leaves are piling up the cutters,
Empty nests are swinging bare,
Song birds all have fed to southwark
From the nipping autumn air;
But see, on the tree
Where some seeds are apt to be,
A merry little breakfaster
A-chirping "Chickadee!"
He's a jolly little fellow
In his sober black and gray;
And he halls the passing squirrels
With call that seems to say,
How'd ye-do? How'd 'ye-dee?
Oh, I'm very glad to see
All my friends so well and happy,
Very happy -Chickadee!
He chuckles at the empty nest
A-swinging up SO high,
He quirks his saucy, tufted head,
And gives a merry cry:
"O-ho The seasons over.
Summer guests have gone away.
I'm not afraid of frosty nights.
I'm here and here to stay.
Chickadeei Chickadee--day--day !"

panion.
