pi" T| || -t< ] The Doll "■ ■' 'Q He had more tin soldiers than he was able to count, he had a drum and a bat and ball, a fire engine with real bells on it, marbles and a black lamb that made a loud "baa" when he wag ged its head. But he didn't have a doll. Ever since he could remember Norman had wanted a doll. Prom tfie time when he saw the little girl in the train hugging the baby to her he ■wanted to have one for his own. He had been with his Aunt Martha at the time, and had asked: "What is that, 'tisn't a really baby, Is it?" "It's a doll," she had replied, and he had said no more at the time. But later, when the family was all assem bled he had remarked with irrelevan cy: "Mother, I wisht I had a doll." "O, little sissy, little girl boy!" his aunt had returned. "The idea of a boy wanting a doll. They're only for girls." And she had laughed at him. Norman hated to be laughed at worse than he hated anything else except to be called a little sissy, and he said no more about the doll. But the fact that he said nothing did not prevent his thinking about it. When he went over to the park where the children played he would look wistfully at the little girls with dolls, and wonder why dolls weren't made for boys, too. One day he thought that if he had a doll nobody would need to know, he could go back be hind the bushes, where there wasn't anybody, and play to Ills heart's con tent. But how could ho get a doll? He would have to ask for it, and then they would all know. Norman was out in tlie front yard, playing store with red sand and peb bles and grass, and a beautiful pair of scales that his father had brought him the night before. He had weigh ed out and measured innumerable tiny packages of sugar and coffee, tying them up In great leaves from the maple tree under which he was play- j lng. Ho had delivered so many par cels to his mother in the kitchen that she said she wouldn't need anything j more from the store for two weeks. | Then he decided to take some rice and some dandelion stems, over to the neighbor's house. She must need j something from the store, lie crawl ed through a hole under the hedge and started around to the back porch next door. Half way around he stop ped In amazement. There was a strange little girl sitting there, a lit tle girl with tight pigtails and a pret ty blue dress. He turned togo back, then he thought that she would be a good one to buy at his store. He hur ried on down the walk, and when he was quite near her he hailed: "Missis! Want anything, from the groceries to-day? Got line tilings to day, lady!" The little girl held up her finger warningly, and beckoned him to come closer. "Sh!" she said in a loud whisper. "The baby's asleep there; you'll wake her up If you talk so loud, and It took me so long to rock her to sleep to day; she isn't feeling good." She pointed with a plump forefinger to a pillow on the chair behind her. Norman approached on tiptoe, went up the steps of the porch, and over to the rocker. There, sound asleep, was the most beautiful doll lie had ever Imagined. She had tight sunny little curls all over her head, her cheeks were as pink as the lovely ribbon at her throat and she had such a pretty dimple In her chin. Norman drew in his breath sharply with de light. That was a doll! Ho turned to the little girl and asked in a low voice, so as not to disturb the sleeper, "Where doesn't she feel good?" "I don't know, 'zactly," returned the dollle's mother. "But she didn't want togo to sleep a bit, and I had to walk up and down, and rock her and every time I thought she was asleep and went to put her to bed, she cried." "Poor doll!" commented Norman softly. "Oh, you mustn't say doll! She's a baby, and her name's ltuth. My name's Bessie. What is your name?" "My name is Norman Gray. I live over there; where do you live? I never saw you before." "I live In the city. I just came here to see my Aunt Beatrice. Do you—■ Oh! I've been talking too loud, and I've waked up the baby." Bessie leaned over and picked up the doll, carried it' to her breast and began to croon gently, "Hushaby, Baby, Hush aby, Baby!" The doll's eyes closed again, and Norman thought she was asleep. "Let's play house,"he suggested. "Yo\i can be mother and I'll be father, and we can both take care of the baby." Norman longed to lay his hands upon the doll, but somehow he didn't like to ask. Ho was afraid that Besnie would think ho was a sissy boy. The doll seemed to snuggle right Into Bessie's neck, and Norman I suddenly felt lonesome. It was almost as though he was Jealous of Bessie. "Yes," the little girl answered his question, "I like to play house. Where will wo play?" "Let's go over on that porch. No body lives there, and we can have our house all to ourselves." Norman pointed to a new house across the street j "You stay here and mind the baby," ordered Bessie, "and I'll go in and get her clothes. She's only got her night- ! gown on now, and she might get cold j If we took her over that way. I , couldn't bring her carriage with me, ■o I'U have Jo carry her.'" * . - -r j It was on the tip of Normant tongue to say: "Oh, let me carry her for you," but Bessie didn't give him a chance, for, with a final warning not to make any noise or to touch the baby, she disappeared in the doorway. The boy stood absolutely still watching the doll after she had gone. It was the lirst time he had ever been I so close to a doll, and they were in finitely lovelier close at hand than | from a distance, lie put out his hand, ; the temptation to touch the velvety cheeks was too strong. Then ho i stopped. Suppose she should wake l up and began to cry. Bessie would know that he had disobeyed, and she | might not be willing to play with him after that. He deliberately turned his back on Ruth; it was easier not to touch if he did not see the doll lying, so wonderful, before him. When Bessie came out she carried a whole armful of clothes, which she transferred to Norman. Then she returned and a moment later brought out a miniature blanket, which she hollowed in the curve of her arms. Into the hollow went tho baby, and Bessie tucked tho edges of the cover well around her. At the last moment Norman remembered his express wagon; it would be line to carry the clothes in that, and after ward it would make a good bed for the baby. He ran home and soon came back with It. Then the little family went to take up its quarters on the piazza across the street. A pile of boards in the corner made a good dining room table, the express wagon by the stops was the bedroom, and under it Bessie carefully folded the baby's wardrobe. "It's night time now," Norman said, "and we've all got to sleep while the baby does. That step is your bed, and this is mine." He stretched himself out on the bot tom step, and Bessie lay down on the step next to tho to]), where the baby's bed stood. She pushed the wagon back and forth a few times, explain ing that the baby always had to have the cradle rocked before she would sleep. Then the whole family slept. It was only a moment that Norman was quiet. After that he opened first one eye and then the other, yawned mightily and sat up. "My goodness! It's morning!" he exclaimed. "Mother! , Get up! It's time for breakfast." Bessie sat up, and rubbed her eyes, j "So it is!" she cried. "It must be 5 o'clock." "It's time to dress the baby. Isn't ; it?" askod Norman. Bessie nodded her | head. "I'll do it now," she said. She j lifted the doll from her bed, the doll's eyes opened wide, and for the first time Norman saw that they were a deep, pure blue. That was just the right color for eyes to be. The night gown came off, ajid Norman had a fleeting glimpse of a plump, pink body before Bessie had slipped some dainty white clothes over the curly head. Norman thought tiiat nothing was ever so lovely as the doll when she was all dressed. She had tiny red shoes and socks, a white dress with red bows on the shoulders and a red sash. Bessie tied a mite of a red bow on tho side of her head, and, as a fin ishing touch, she printed a sounding kiss on the doll's chubby face. Nor man had stood watching in silence. Now he spoke. "What are we going to have for breakfast, mother?" he asked. "Eggs," replied Bessie, of course, and coffee and bread. But I have to j make the beds before I make the breakfast. Papa, will you hold the baby and I'll make them now." Would he hold the baby! Would he! He held out Ills arms In silence. He was too happy to speak. "You can take her for a little walk, and be careful not to lot her fall, she might be killed," warned the little mother. She snuggled the baby under her chin for a moment, kissed her, and held her out to Norman. The doll rested awkwardly in his unaccustomed arms. "She doesn't know me yet," he apologized to Bes sie, as he walked down the path. He held the doll pressed tight against him. Somehow she didn't fit the way she did into Bessie's neck. He lifted her a trifle higher, so that the doll's cheek rested against his own. It wasn't warm and responsive as he had expected to find it it was only cold and stiff. She didn't cuddle at all. The tighter he held her the more uncomfortable it was. Something was wrong. He looked into the doll's eyes and smiled reassuringly, but there was no friendly glance in reply. Sud denly he wished that Bessie would come and take her. It was so much nicer to watch Bessie love the baby than to love her himself. Ho turned back to the house and walked very quickly, he who had strolled so slow ly away a few minutes before. It seemed to him that ho had gone a great distance. lie stumbled up the steps. Bessie had just finished mak ing up the cradle, and was looking down at him. He held forth the doll very gently, ! but very decisively. "Take the baby, mother, and kiss tier," he said. "Babies like it better to be with their mothers. And it looks nicer, too. I'll goto mar ■ ket and buy the breakfast, and you ! can stay and mind her." Bessie took the doll and brought It up to her breast. She belonged there, she curl ed up softly, and Bessie leaned over and kissed her again. Norman watch ed her with a feeling different from any he had ever had before. Dolls : were bautlful and lovely—when little ' girls had them. But they weren't even nice when you had one yourself. | He was growing up to be a man. "I'll go and get the breakfast," he repeat ed; "maybe mother will give me some ! cookies. I'll ask her." | Norman went down the steps and i across the street to procure some breakfast for Bessie and the babjr.— Dorothy Biddle. EARLY TRAINING OF SINGERS. Many of the "Golden Throats" Wen Perfected by Nature. As some of us know, Adellna Pattl sang as a child. Her required little or no training. Its beauty and placement were God-given. All Patti's wise guardians did was to protect her against exposure of all kinds. Pattl made her operatic debut at an age when it would be a crime to begin the vocal training of the average girl. ' Nellie Melbn is another whose gold en throat was perfected by nature. When Alelba left her Australian home for Paris, where she acquired some "frills," her voice was perfect, so no one, unless it be the unknown teacher in far-away Melbourne can honestly i claim any credit for Melba's "vocal method." i Mme. Tetrazzini, who came rather I late into her own was always a nat i ural singer. It is reported that she studied tone production but five months. But Tetrazzini lived in the home of her sister Mme. Campanini, who is a singer, and hearing this sis- I tor practice for years supplied the j clever listener with ideas which en enabled her to curtail her own studies by several years. An Incomplete Landscape. Mr. Kreezus, the multimillionaire, i was entertaining a friend at his ele- ! gant country home. "I was born and ! ! brought up in this neighborhood," ho ! | said, "and when I was a boy I used to think what a line thing It would ! | be to have a house on this hill. It's the highest point of ground, you will notice, within a circuit of several miles, and the view from here is ex- I tensive." "It is magnificent!" exclaimed the visitor. "Yes, and when the time came that | I could afford it I gratified my boyish ! ambition by buying the land round } here and putting up this house." "I have been in a great many places, and I have never seen a finer land scape than this." "That's what I used to think, but I j don't like it now as well as I did when ! I was a boy." "What makes the difference?" "It isn't complete." "Not complete? Why, you own the landscape, don't you?" "That's the trouble. I own all of it but that eight-acre patch over there beyond the creek, about six miles away. The old curmudgeon that owns it won't sell it to me at any figure." And Mr. Kreezus sighed dismally. "A Bad Speculation." There are pentitents and penitents. Some are sorry that they did wrong; others regret the unpleasant conse- Q'.iinces of their evil deed. Governor Isaborur of Virginia once defended a man charged with stealing a pair of ! shoes. The man was convicted. One day, years after, the governor was standing conversing with several lawyers in front of the court-house, when a man approached and said ho wished to speak with him. They walk ed off together, and the man asked: "Squire, do you remember I once hired you to defend me?" "Yes." "Well, squire, the taking of them shoes was the worst job I ever did. I didn't keep 'em a week. They put me in jail; I gave you the only horse I had to defend me; my crop was lost 'cause I couldn't see to it; and then, squire, they gave ine thirty-nine lashes at last. I tell you, squire, it was a bad speculation." The Ashes of Columbus. Columbus died at Valladolid, Spain, May 20, 1500, and he was buried in the Franciscan Monastery of that city. In 1513 his remains were removed to the Monastery of Las Ouevas, at Se ville. Ten years later they were tak en to Hispaniola, to the Cathedral of San Domingo, whence they were later on transferred to Havana, Cuba. As a result of so many removals it is now next to impossible to say Just where the great man's dust reposes, but probably they rest at Havana. If not there, then the whole matter is a mys- i tery. A Live Town. Some are inclined to call this a ! dead town, when for some time there i has not been a night that something , hasn't been going on worth mentioning. A moving picture show every night, a revival at the Methodist church, with good music and gospel preaching, and a skating rink and lodges, and every thing that human inclination for varie ty could wish, and then to think the town dead. If there is anything about the town that is dead you are it. You had better wake up some. Just think ; of a town this size with two bands like I ours! —Mount Ayr (la.) Press. ; Style In Writing. I Many things goto make a great ' writer, says Conan Doyle. One Is style. No man in the world has a natural ' style. To get style he must turn to I the best writers and impregnate him- < self with them. Surely, Stevenson I has helped many a lame dog into a "style." The young writer also needs never-ending patience. When I began to play a game of ping-pong with my self on one side of the net and edi- 1 tors on the other, and my manuscript as the ball, I needed as much patience and philosophy as any man upon this earth. Smugglers' Retreat for a Sanatorium. Steep Holme, an old-time hangout i of smugglers, may be the site for a big sanatorium. This Island Is about the size of a forty acre field, rises two hundred feet out of water, and its five forts mnke it the Gibraltar of the Bristol Channel. It is said, to be free from dust, and one of the most healthful spots in the world. AMONG THE HOUYHNHNM3. Roosevelt Also Does the Obvious In Hungary. Luncheon over, the inspection of the Government farm began. I doubt whether anywhere west of here in Eu rope one could see such beautiful Arab thoroughbreds as the plume tailed, full eyed stallions which were led out, prancing, snorting and quiver ing, before Mr. Koosevelt in the Bun ny. sand floored court. The ex-Presi dent caressed the magnificent crea tures and gave each its reward of sugar. Then he went through the stables. Each Is a huge loose box, round the sides of which a hundred brood mares stood tethered, while foals frolicked In the open space in the middle on the sweet smelling straw. In one stable by the side of a white half blood Arab mare stood a tiny bay Ally born early this very morning. The fitting thing to do was obvious. The ex-President bestowed upon it the name "Boosevelt." The visit ended with a rounding up of the herds of stately white wide horned cattle and flocks of a large breed of sheep—Lon don Daily Mail. Domesticating the Elephant. It was long a disputed question whether the African elephant was 1 amenable to domestication. Those who held the .affirmative referred to the experience of the Carthaginians with these animals, and recalled the elephants that formed a part of Han nibal's army on his march toward Rome. At present elephants are being trained for domestic labors In the Congo, in the German African col onies, In Uganda and elsewhere. In the Congo especially it Is reported that the training of elephants Is rapid ly developing into a recognized indus try. A French society has recently been formed under the name of I "Friends of the Elephant," the object of which is to prevent the destruction of those animals in Africa, and to en | courage their domestication. The Great Eastern. The dimensions of the one-time | world-famous Great Eastern were as follows: Length, 692 feet; width, 83 feet; depth, GO feet; tonnage, 24,000 tons; draught, when unloaded, 20 feet, when loaded, 30 feet. She had paddle wheels 56 feet In diameter, nnd was also provided with a four-bladed screw propeller of 21 feet diameter. She had accommodations for 800 first-class, j 2,000 second class, and 1,200 third | class passengers, 4,000 in all. Her speed was about 18 miles an hour. The Great Eastern was finally broken up for old Iron ip the year 1889, after a checkered career of some thirty-one years. "Dew Ponds." | Among the most singular archeo» logical remains found In Great Britain are the ancient "dew ponds," the con struction of which is ascribed to peo ple of the Neolithic age. The purposo of theso ponds was to furnish drink ing water for cattle. An exposed position, where springs were absent, was selected and a broad, hollowed surface was formed, and covered over with straw, or some other non-conduct ing material. Above was spread a thick layer of clay strewn with stones. During the night the cold surface of the clay caused an abundance of mois ture to condense from the lower lay ers of the air. Some of these ancient dew ponds are still In working order. The Praetorian Guard. The Praetorian Guard was a select body of troops instituted by the Em peror Augustus to protect his person, and consisted of ten cohorts, each of one thousand men, chosen from Italy. They had peculiar privileges, and when they had served sixteen years were rotired on a pension of about SSOO. Each member of the Guard had the rank of a captain in the regular army. Like the bodyguard of Louis the Fourteenth, they were all gentle men, and formed gradually a great power, like the Janizaries at Con stantinople, and frequently deposed or elevated the very Emperors them selves. Protection for Miners. Workers in certain mines, as well as in glass and mirror factories, are subject to injurious effects from the inhalation of mercury vapors. An Ital ian savant, Slgnor Tarugl, believes that the property of aluminum to ab sorb mercuric vapors may be utilized for protection against this danger, i and he has devised for the purpose a mask of aluminum wire to bo worn over the face. His idea is that the | air breathed will be freed from the i injurious vapors through their ab j sorption by the aluminum. | Some War Losses. I Southern remittances to the North began to grow unsatisfactory some time beforo the election of 1860, and after that grew still more uncertain, stopping entirely the next year. When the war began there was due from the South to the merchants of the North $300,000,000, all of which was practi cally a total loss, Its payment being made a criminal offense. New York firms lost $160,000,000 in this way; the dry-goods merchant, the clothiers, the boot and Bhoe dealers, and the Jewellers being the heaviest losers. Temptations of Evil. Leisure misused, an idle hour wait ing to be employed, idle hands with no occupation, Idle and empty minds with nothing to think of —these are the main temptations of evil. Fill up that empty void, employ those vacant hours, occupy those listless hands, and evil will depart because it has no place to enter in, because It is con quered by good.—gtanley. ' Rooms to Let Signs In Paris. The Parisian householder who has more room than he requires does not simply put out n card printed In small , type which will lure from across street a weary man or woman who is in search of "unfurnished," but finds that here are only "furnished rooms" or the other way about. A white card on a Parisian dwelling means that furnished apartments are to let and all who run may rend. A yellow card conveys to the passerby the knowledge that unfurnished lodgings are there available.—Boston Post. Lightning Kills Two at Ball Gsrre. John Hamilton, aged forty-five, and August I.auntz, forty years old, were instantly killed by lightning, and John McNulty, aged sixty-five, was badly shocked while watching a g:ime ol' base ball in Johnstown, Pa. Hamil ton was unmarried, but Launtz leaves a wife and three children. Hailstones Damage Pine Grove Trees. The worst hailstorm that was ever experienced in Pine Grove, Pa., pre vailed Monday evening. Hailstones as large as shellbarks fell, fruit trees of all kinds and vegetables suffered, and the loss will be heavy. Window panes were broken. Two Buildings Destroyed. A severe electrical storm visited the vicinity of Pottsville, Pa., and a num- ; ber of buildings were struck and bad- i ly damaged. The Reformed church at Orwigsburg was struck and burned. A j residence at Llewellyn was also burn ed as a result of being fired by tho lightning. Hail Destroys Vegetation. Three terrific storms, following each other, did incalculable damage in the suburbs of Baltimore, Md. The air, which had been heated, suddenly turn ed cold and a comparatively light ia:n increased in volume until it fell in torrents. With a surprising s.'dlen ness there was another change. The rain turned to hail and stones as big ns walnuts came down with terrific force and in quanlities. For half an hour these fell within a radius of ten miles, destroying vegetation, ruining orchards and putting out of commis sion nearly all of the telephone and telegraph wires. The property its was heavy. Lightning Strikes Corpse. Lightning struck the bier of Car sten Stemmermann, in his home at Stony Point, near Yonkers, N.
