Once upon a time there lived four

Polly Anne. Their last name was lib

to Yarmouth and camped not very far
from Tibbets' back door. They camped
so very close that you could smell a
savory smell when they went to get
dinner.

watching the gypsies from the wood

hunting for him the gypsy queen
Tibbets thanked her she turned away
and said my baby is sick, die for want

Polly and John Henry tried to think
of some way to raise money for the
gypsy prince and by and by they de-
cided to have a fair. Polly Ann made
candy and orangeade and John Henry
made whistles. Grandma made pen
wipers and then they had their fair
About o'clock in the evening they
had two dollars for the gypsy and they

Tears shone in the gypsy queens

A rene Of many tumble and trip;

A brow that is beady with jewels of

A face that's as black as visage can

A suit that at noon was garment of

Now one that his mother declares is

A fun-loving, sun-loving rascal, and
fine,
Is he that comes placing his black
fist in mine.
A crop of brown hair that is tousled
and tossed,
A waist from which two Of the but

A smile that shines out through the.

And eyes that are flashing delight all

A Bright Little Dog

There are limitations everywhere, but
the dog whose doings are recorded IN
Popular Science News was possibly
one Of the best canine mimics on rec
ord. His name was Scott, and he was
puppy newly introduced into certain
family circle. In a neighboring house
lived Rab, dog that had grown to an
age Of dignity and responsibility.
At first the older dog ignored the
puppy, which in appearance was al
most an exact picture of himself. Then
the two became firm friends. Scott was
an attendant on Rab's every movement.
They ate together. slept together, and
hunted together.
They were also as one in barking at
passing teams. Now, barking at teams
was forbidden, and brought whippings;
but the temptation was strong, and the
master and mistress were not always
present. The sight of the hose cart
whirling past one day, with rattle and
clatter, was a challenge no high spirit
ed dog could resist 1t gave Rab an op-
portunity to show his young friend how
close to flying hose-cart it is possible
to run with impunity. Alas for his
pride! He ran an inch too near, or the
cart swerved slightly, and the wheel
passed over one Of Rab's paws. AL
though the injury was scientifically
treated, Rab was ever after forced to
go on three legs and hold the injured
paw suspended.
Scott noticed Rab's changed method
of locomotion, and. like the thorough
courtier he was, Immediately adopted
the new gait. He was so clever In his
imitation that it was difficult to tell
which dog went lame from necessity,
and which limped because he thought
it desirable and graceful. Close obser-
walton, however, showed that Scott's
shapely paw lacked the helpless hang
Of the older dogs wounded member, and
that the saucy cock of his ears was at
variance with the mournful hang Of
Rab's.
Scott was a consistent cheat, always
holding up the same paw that Rab did,
and never forgetting his voluntary
lameness, except on occasions of great
excitement, when he was in too great
hurry having four legs, to confine him
self to the use of three.
