NENETTE AND RINTINTIN.

Caroline Frevert IN the Christmas
81. Nicholas says that the two little
French mascot dolls, which always
have the same name, Nenette and
Rintintin, even though they be OF
the most varied shapes and dress,
continue to hold their popularity in
Paris; indeed, they have already
crossed to England and America,
There are no more Gothas over
Paris. but Nenette and Rintintin are
needed to hold the good luck they
have brought The article gives the
following version Of the origin OF
the mascots:
French soldiers. marching to the
front. discovered two of their little
compatriots. boy and a gir,, on an
abandoned farm, and decided TO
adopt them, carrying them along
with the regiment, and giving them
the best OF care. The little girl made
two dolls of wool and silk and the
soldiers named one doll after the
girl, and the other after the boy.
And the story goes on TO say that
the regiment has met with contin-
ued success ever since.
And do not laugh at that ex-
travagance of Paris. Don't laugh
at all, at that which lightens with
good humor and kind of childish,
charming gaiety the serene resigna-
ton, the stoical indifference to dar-
ger, of Partisan people. Compare
il. if you like, with the grim and
heavy boche gravity, hammering big
nails into the gigantic wooden
statue of Hindenburg. The pro
found soul difference of Berlin
and Paris will thus appear in a
strange manner

Pina's Bravery.

BY Evelyn Tonyack, Age II. Ewing, Neb
Once there was little girl whose
name was Pima. One day her moth
er went to town and left Pima at
home. When her mother was gone
about half an hour the house next
TO Pina's home caught On FIRE.
There was no one there to put it
out. The first thing Pima did was
to run to the we'll and get a pail of
water. This she threw on the fire,
but it did no good. By that time
some men had come to put the fire
out. Pima heard baby cry in the
house, but the men would not 60
up to get it because they said it
wasn't safe. The baby was up
stairs, so Pima ran in the burning
house and caught the baby up in
her arms and started downstairs.
The smoke was terrible and she
though she would never reach the
end of the stairs. But in few
minutes she stepped outdoors. She
looked at the baby, and, to her sur
prise, she found it to be her own
baby brother. Her mother had left
him there when she went to town.
Her mother gave Pima beautiful
necklace, thing she had often
wished to have, as token of her
bravery.
