So, Just as she was in the habit Of do

under the snow, she sprang upward,
spreading her stout wings and expecting
to make the snow fly in a cloud But she
didn't. No, sir she didn't make the snow

safe from all harm.

PLANS NEW RAM SCHOONER.
Capt. Marshall to Return to Lumber
Service With Fine Craft.

Capt John Marshall well known here
as master of the three masted ram
schooner Charles L. Rohde. but who re-
tired from the vessel at this city about
four months ago. is planning to have a
new ram built for service on Chesapeake
bay and the North Carolina sounds. The
new craft is to be 100 feet long, 80 feet
beam and of light draft for service in
shoal waters of North Carolina. 1t will
carry about 600 tons and will be largely
owned in Bethel and other small towns in
Delaware.
1t is understood that the construction
Of the vessel will be started at Chesa-
peake bay shipyard this spring. and that
it will be ready for service in the sum-
mer. She will probably be frequent Wis
itor to this city with lumbex and other
cargoes from North Carolina points.
Most of the lumber brought from North
Carolina points and from those on Ches--
apeake bay to this city is handled in ram
schooners, which are said to be most
successful in this line of trade.

Yale Alumni Association of Washington:
Walter II. Tuckerman, esq,

a contest between teams of the two as

Harrington one day a very sad story to

the kind of chap to marry girl and

Mrs. Grouse Wakes Up.

Harder and harder had frozen the crust
over the snow in the Green Forest and
on the Green Meadows, which were white
now instead of green. But Mrs. Grouse,
snug and warm in her bed on the ground
under the snow, knew nothing Of this,
No, Mrs Grouse knew nothing about that
crust growing harder and harder and
thicker and thicker. You see. there had
been no crust. nothing but soft snow,
when she went to bed, and the only wor-
ry on her mind when she fell asleep had
been whether or not she would be able
to find enough to eat the next day, for
food was scarce Even this did not wor-
ry her a great deal. for, though she often
had gone hungry. she always had man
aged to find enough to keep her alive
enough to learn that good times are
bound to follow bad times.
When jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun climbed
out of bed the next morning and began
to climb up in the blue, blue sky he
looked down on very beautiful world.
He couldn't remember ever having seen 1t
more beautiful. No. sir, he couldn't. You
see, when he went to bed the night before
it had been showing. Then the snow had
turned to rain, and after that along had
come Jack Frost and frozen it as fast as
it f1l Then in the night the clouds had
disappeared and now Mr.. Sun looked
down on such beautiful, beautiful
world. Every teeniest, weeniest twig of
every tree and bush was covered with ice.
until it looked as If it we're made of glass.
Yes. sir, the trees of the Green Forest
and the Old Orchard and all the other
trees looked as if they were glass trees.
They winked and twinkled and sparkled
and flashed and shone whenever Mr..
Suns beams touched them, and showed
the most beautiful colors. And the snow
on the ground was covered with an icy
crust that glistened and flashed almost as
much as did the trees. and that was SO
hard and strong that Farmer Browns
boy could slide on it without once break
ing through.
Now when Mrs. Grouse walked that
beautiful morning the first thing she
| thought of was how thankful she was
that no harm had come to her in the
night and that she hadn't been obliged to
fly for her life. as sometimes had hap
