WHEN WINTER COMES.

When winter comes it brings the plays,
And who's as glad as we?
When sister takes me Saturdays,
What lovely things we seei
Though snow is flying through the air,
And afternoons are gray,
1t seems like sunshine everywhere
When riding to the play
When am settled in my seat,
AS coy as can be,
The music plays so soft and sweet,
1t says. Come dance to mei'
Though dancing down the slanting aisle
I'd dearly like to go.
j know it's best to wait awhile
And watch the leaders bow.
Until the curtain slides above,
And then the plays begun
With things to please. and things to love
And always lots Of fun.
If sad times come to make me sigh,
know they'll soon be past;
Before we bid the play goodbye
1t all comes right at Last.
/ hate to leave the pleasant place,
But sister says to me,
LETS hurry home now. little Grace;
Therell be iced cake for tea"
AT home. tell dear mamma all
About my happy day.
And. tucked in bed beside my doll,
/ dream about the play.

ICED RICE PUDDING.

regulation plum pudding is entirely
too rich for any child, and so frosted
rice pudding with it's holly decora-
lions can be substituted with profit
all around. Wash thoroughly one
cupful rice and boil in one cupful

beaten, the grated yellow rind of one
lemon, and five tablespoonfuls sugar.

golden brown. Chill and serve. Pre-
served cherries or Strawberries may

Tangling the Pigeons.

Pigeon is pretty good on the peck,
too, but once those pink feet get into
lady's combings he may lose 1.-THE
foot, not the combings-for they cut
into the skin of his claws clear to the
bone, and the more he tries to pull it
off the tighter it gets. Combings is
that balled-up bunch of hair that a
young lady takes from her comb and
throws out of the window, instead of
saving for a switch. Many poor
pigeon loses his leg on this account,
and the ordinance against this INSIDE
meanor should be strictly enforced by
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. Before this law
was enforced in Tips old town he had
many fine pigeon badly crippled up.

Keep Red Cross Stamp Alive.

AS an agent of charity it has trans
ferred thousand of dollars from the
pockets of the benevolent to a chart

money for great charities, however.

to decrease, as people become fam
iliar with the same thing, season af-

This is one danger. The other grows
out of the ill-advised attempts to
make use of similar non-official
stamps for advertising purposes. Thus

'Possums and Cats on Car Track.
Standing on the front of a Swope
Park car the passenger, who was
there to smoke cigar unmolested,
found the motormen congenial. A
dog stood on the track as the car APP
preached, but jumped to one side
just in time to save himself "a dog
will always jump off the track, night
or day, when car approaches" said
the motorman, but at night there
are two animals, one domestic, the
other wild, that will stand still and
be run over when the glare of the
headlight strikes them. One is cat,
the other 'possum. l hate to kill
cat, but you can ring your bell
and yell at the top OF your voice with
out soaring cat off the track when
it sees that headlight. If I've run
over one 'possum I've run over a
hundred. Way out South in the
fall of the year, you know, they're
thick. I've often stopped the car
and got off and caught 'em. All the
boys on the Swope Park line had
plenty of 'possum this winter and
they got 'em the same way ! did. -

Near-CranbeTy Sauce.

Cranberry sauce" is easy to make.
Take so many handfuls of widowed
dried apples or slightly moldy evap-
GRATED ones, and soak them overnight,
Add pint or so of shop-worn, with
cred Cape Cod cranberries. Let the
whole soak for an hour, weight down
with saucer, adding just enough
water to not quite cover the saucer.
Boil three-quarters of an hour,
Sweeten to taste, pour into molds and
set on ice. Sometimes a little red
cake coloring is necessary, but If the
cranberries are deep red this does
not improve the looks of the sauce.
Several chefs hereabout have given
this recipe thorough test, and say
1t pleases all partakers.

Longer cooking than this makes them

WILD SQUIRRELS.

1 will tell you about some wild
squirrels that live in the trees by
our house. They began coming in
the back yard and we would throw
nuts out to them At first they were
a little afraid to take the nuts, but
now they will. There is a tree near
the back window, and from that we
put a board to the window We fixed
a box on the window ledge, in which
we keep nuts for them. AT first they
would only come half way along the
board, but now they will come and
take the nuts out of the box, and one
of them is brave enough to take the
nuts out of our fingers. They are
getting tame very fast.-Max Irwin
