Dicky's New Bath Tub

NF course you remember Dicky,
the pretty little yellow and
- black canary who lived in a
gilded cage close by the dining-room
window of Mary James home.
Now Dicky was as pretty and
sweet a little bird as any little girl
could ask for. He sang beautifully:
he swung In his little swing, and he
always had a pleasant chirp for Mary
Jane whenever she came near the
cage. Mary Jane was quite salts
fed with him in every way but one.
He would NOT take bath!
She tried keeping out his seed
cup; she tried giving him his bath
before she fixed his cage in the
morning; she tried every plan she
could think of, but still that naughty
Dicky would not get in his bath.
Finally Mary Jane, in great distress.
spoke to her mother about the
matter.
"He won't take a bath?" asked
mother. well, / wouldn't worry
about that, dear. He will surely
take one when he wants one"
But, mother, he ought to want
one!" answered Mary Jane. 1--WE
had him now whole month and
not a bath has he had! I'm getting
ashamed of him!"
Mother laughed at Mary James
anxiety, then she went over to see
Dicky. There on the floor of the
cage stood mis- nice, clean little bath
tub, filed with just the right amount
of water; and there, jumping around
as lively as you please. was DIR.

no thought Of bath--he was far too
busy singing!

find some other kind Of tub"
And sure enough. she did. She
found a beautiful little bath house
tub; one that was all made OF glass
and white enameled metal, and
which was made to hang at the open
door OF the cage. So she bought 1t
and carried It home to Mary Jane.

a womanly woman, real wife. She

words came out with explosive force.

of Cataro and the small strip of Montenegrn seacoast to

Within the last three four weeks there has been in

fact that the national game Of the
United States rapidly is growing in
popularity among the Australians.
A copy Of the Sydney Argus, re-
ceived in New York today, has half a
column Or its space devoted to base
ball games, the details of sevral con-
tests being included.
If one is to take the word Of the
Argus writer for it, professional ball
in America and the amateur brand in
Australia are widely separated.
"The Collingswood-H Hawthorne game
was splendid f ght for five innings"
the Argus reporter writes and con-
tinues: "But Hawthorne's sixth
brought five runs and they won by
10 runs to 6 i. Martin, the Howthorne
pitcher, struck out IA baters and did
some good hitting.
Speaking of another game he says:
Richmond turned the tables on South
Melbourne and won by 20 runs to g..
Anderson, the southern pitcher, in
sliding to third base, struck his head
against the base, and the shaking ef-
fected his pitching. Brereton, who
had played a magnificent game at
shortstop, took up the attack, but
could not hold the Richmond batsmen,
who accounted for twenty-three base

They have league in Australia,
for the Argus writer speaks Of it in
recounting a game between the North
cotes and the Y. M. G.. A. He COM
pares this contest with cricket match.
Forty three hits were made by one of
the teams, forty-three runs made, and
thirty-six bases stolen. The opposing
team failed to get runner past second
base, something of tribute to the
advance of the game.
"Wiliamstown hit up six runs in
their first inning" the Argus expert
remarks of another contest. "The NJ.
&c. C. pitcher held the seasiders COM
paratively quiet thereafter, as he
struck out seven batsmen."
The visit of the White Sox and
Giants o the far-off continent has had
its effect. Baseball is being given
more attention in Australia than in
any foreign country, and recently a
letter was written to Garry Hermann,
president Of the national baseball COM
n ission of the United States, asking

ports from the Antipodes say efforts
are being made to organize league
