John Kelley, the democratic poll

These birds have very funny beaks,

BIG SYST Err.

Dear Editor: When my big sister
goes shopping she gets up with the
lark and looks the morning papers over
to be sure to see the bargain sales.
She hurries through her breakfast, and
in haste she ties her veil and leaves
her mail unopened. No precious time
to waste. She looks at silken blouses.
gloves, parasols, lingerie and laces
and hats, such perfect loves! She tries
on frocks from Paris, and choffon wells
she prices and muffs of mink, with
half a hundred tails. She never
thinks to stop for lunch but from
store to store she flies and night fall
finds her weary, and sick and sad, and
sore, and home she comes, with CAM
phor, her aching head to bind, and
proudly shows her purchaser spool
of cotton thread.

oRiEN's FIRST RIDE ON THE CARS

The first time I ever rode on the
cars I went to Oregon to see grand
pa and grandma. was only two years
old but I have heard papa and mamma
talk about it. 1t took us four or five
days to go out there.
We had q good time for Uncle
Charlie Handy's and Allen Davis went
with us.
Aunt Kate lost her hat and when she
got to Portland she had to get another
one. When we got to Albany we
missed our train and had to stay all
night. And the street car that runs
there took us down town to the hotel,
and it had horses hitched to 1t, but 1t
went very fast.
So the next morning grandpa came
down onsthe train and went back with
Us. We were sitting in the train when
he walked in and surprised us. We
got to grandpa's In time for dinner.
We are thinking of going out this
fall, and l will be bigger and can
remember how things are, and how
things look.
We all went to the ocean. Oh, say,
it was a sight We can pick up sew
eral pretty things on the ocean.
Many thanks for the postal re-
ceived.

Dehra had cried herself to sleep. She
never knew how long she had slept

it was coyotes. When she heard q

it who stood by her side but her own

THE BROWN THRUSH.

This little songster appears in the
eastern and middle states about the
first Of May.
At this season he may be seen sitting
on the topmost bough of hedge or tree
singing his loud and welcome song,
which may be heard the distance Of
half q mile.
He sings for about a week after he
has returned from the south. Then he
looks for a mate until he finds one to
suit him.
They both go In search Of place for
nest. The place is usually under some
fallen tree or in a thick bush about
three feet from the ground. It is made
Of sticks, mud and tiny roots.
His mate lays from three to five eggs
Of a greenish background thickly
spotted with brown.
The eggs hatch about twelve days
after incubation has commenced.
The thrush's principal food consists
Of worms, cherries and berries.
He leaves about the last Of Soptem-
Der and does not appear again until the
following May. -....

TEssA's HAPPY DAY.

Tessa was a little Italian girl. She
lived with her grandfather, who wat
an organ played. They wandered about
from town to town, and Tessa would
danoe while her grandfather played
the organ. They did not have any
home, and they earned their living by
playing on the handorgan.
One afternoon they started to
place where they had never been be-
fore. They did not know the way,
and they walked till it was almost
dark. They were soon in q field OF
green corn. Tessa was so tired that
she could not 30 any farther; 30 they
went into a meadow close by and lay
down upon the hay. They ate their
supper Of dry bread and drank some
of the clear water from running
stream. Soon they were fast asleep
on the sweet smelling hay. In the
morning when they woke up they were
rested. Just then they saw a farm
house close by. Tessa and her grand
father went on till they came to 1t.
Mr.. Lane was the owner of the house.
Mrs. Lane gave them a nice, warm
breakfast After they had eaten the
grandfather played the organ while
Tessa danced.
Martha and Mamie Lane were little
girls about the same age as Tessa.
The girls were pleased with their
strange visitor They had never heard
a handorgan played, or seen anybody
dance like Tessa. She stayed all day
with Martha and Mamie. They ran
around and played Z together, while
Tessa's grandfather slept under
shady tree. The girls danced together
in the barn. and went into the fields
and gathered flowers and berries.
That night Mr.. Lane was going to
town and ne took Tessa and her grand
father along. The girls were sorry to
have them go. Tessa said that she
had the best time in all her life. When
Tessa was ready to 60 the girls gave
her some clothes and bag full OF cake
and apples Tessa said she would come
back some time.
