And keep on thinking how I'he children, maybe, will be dressed A hundred years from now. Or hoops in grand array? Will they wear bows lke butterflies, Just as they do today? Wil boys wear jackets short, or tie Their hair in queues? Just how A hundred years from now. What do you think the girls and boys Will eat In those far days? Will they be fad on breakfast foods In many sorts of ways? Will the good and tasty things Be worse for them than rice? Will ice-cream soda make them sick, And everything that's nice? . 11 au Will children’s books have then, Or just all pictures reading be? Perhaps they'll be hand-painted and Most beautiful to see, But when I think of I truly don't see how They can be any prettier A hundred years from now. -—Sarah Noble-Ives in St. Nicholas.

Plan- ning to have windows in this roam a8 soon as sash and lights could secured, Eunice covered the opening with mosquito-netting, which was quite covering enough at any season in that climate. The door from Ker own apartment opened into that of the children, and thus she was able to keep thelr room aired. Some months passed, and the frosts of November camo to the mountains. giving the nights and mornings a chill which is felt by all cutdoor crea- tures in that latitude. Thus it was that Eunice and her father had no particular surpriss when Essie and Pearl complained that “O18 Guy” had come in at thelr window and insisted upon sleeping on their bed. Old Guy was a deaf and superan- nuated” hound. A kennel had* been fashi ned cutside for him, since he had been a privileged member of the family. As the outer end of the Hitle girls’ apartment abutted agzains® some high rocks, there was nothing but the mosquito-bar to prevent his jumping into their room. And as the mosquito-netting was found to have been torn away, the story told by the children was confirmed. A cold wind had blown all night, making the inside, and the little girls complained that Oid Guy bad geratched the bed. outside ad. for at be himself. “And he jammed his old cold nose right Into my face,” sald Essie, “and her.” Mr. Crawford laughed. “Old Guy mustn't plague my little girls that way,” he sald. “You must call to sour sister; and, Eunice, keep your riding-whip in. your room, and if you catch the hound In there give him a few cuts and drive him out, and he won't go In again.

He then took me and put me in the water and made me go wherever he wanted me, by means of a stick. The waves as they went frolicking by called to me to come and play with them. I tried to run after them, but every time the stick brought back. I tried again and again to go after ; them, but the old stick still kept me Finally a great hand reached out after me and picked me ug . B0I4 by al 1 Broadway, FR.

My wave carried me along for quite a little way further, and then he gently sald “Goodby,” pushed me inte a gentle eddy and wag gone.
