has a fondness for bright colors, and

choosing its nest to select the least con
spicuous hues. He also s'.iows archi

THE MEADOW LARK.
Word was given; the bufle blew;
"Boots and saddles!" it signaled shrill.
Up and mount! and ear-h borwnisn flew
'Utride his stewl with a right good will.
Hoofs were pawing and uefks were
arrhed ;
Forth from the ramp the troopers
marched.
In the plains they rode where dread
Lurked with doom in the pampas-grass;
Many a serpent raised its head,
Kattling "Death" from the tangled
mass.
Many an Indian skulked unfcetn,
Hpying upon them cruel-keen.
Not for these wonld the brave ranks
awerve;
Straight in the line of march they rode.
He who's soldier must needs preserve
Heart that harbors no craven bode.
Into the prairies pressed the band,
General Custer in command.
Noon's sun down from tbe zenith beat,
Kcorching the earth with ruthless rays;
Over the ground the quivering heat
Hose and danced in a blinding maze.
, Never a brook or tree was there
Serving to cool the fevered air.
Every sound to beartward went;
Click of hoof or the ring of steel,
Sudden clank of accoutrement,
Never a soldier failed to feel;
While one step from the beaten course
Housed to alertness man and horse.
Oalhint Custer rode on ahead.
Guide and chief of a brave command!
Arrow-straight his good charger sped,
Never swerving to either hand,
Till a touch! and the faithful steed
Veered aside in his headlong lead.
There, deep-hid in the prairie-jirass,
Lay the iicut of a meadow-lark.
Ilirdlings wee, in a fluffy maxs.
Hid 'neath her wines so warm and dark.
Right in the line of march they stood;
Little mother and tiny brood.
That was all; but e'en rough hearts heed
Gentle acts, and these noftlier heat
Fur their General's simple (Iced,
Done for Ijive in its dim retreat
That was all; but in Custer's wnke
Rode meek men for a mother's snke.

"A STORY."
A young girl toiled wearily tip the
last, flight of stair to thr attic of a tall
tenement in atreet. She paused a
moment before opening the door, and
tin? (.'host of a wan smile flitted across
her face a she went In.
The dusk of a midwinter afternoon
win closing over the tidy little room,
with lis bare, plain furnishings. The
girl felt the chill of the room.
"Is the fire out. mother'"
A pale woman sat In the only easy
I chair to be seen, and from her listlons
I attitude one saw at a glance that she
was an Invalid.
"Yen, Clara, I think It Is. There is no
more coal ill the closet."
The girl gave a sigh. "I'll have a fire.
It's too cohl for you here." She went
quickly out, and In a short time built
a lire and prepared her mother's tea.
When 1 he frugal men I was cleared
away, she came and sat down by the
invalid.
"The company have suspended. I am
out of work "
"What shall we do?" moaned the
woman.
"I have been liHiking all the after
noon, but no one wants help. There are
five hundred out of employment by this
suspension."
"The rent Is due to-morrow."
"Yes, I know," said the girl. "I've
enough money to pay it, and a little
more besides."
"What shail we do then?"
"I've 1 11 thinking, mother, of that
manuscript In the bottom of your old
trunk."
"It Isn't good for anything, Clara. I
was only a girl when It was written."
"Can't you revise It ?"
"My hand trembles so I can't do It,"
said the invalid, fretfully.
"May 1 try?"
"You can't, child; It would only be a
waste of time, and you have no paper."
"My time Is not wanted. Mind I can
get some paer; please let me try."
An unwilling consent was given, and
the girl almost flew to a stationer's for
materials.
There wag no money for lights, and
the winter night had already settled
down. She must bo ready for the pre
cious daylight to-morrow.
It was a simple story of country life,
but she grew enthusiastic as she work
ed, adding here and erasing there, un
consciously giving It tbe finish of an
artist's touch.
She read It to her mother when com
pleted. "You have written It over, child; It
I not my story; perhaps you can dis
pose of It."
Clara hastened to a well-known news
paper ofllee. The managing editor
glanced at her coldly.
"You can leave It If you like."
"When shall I come again?" she ask
ed In a faint voice.
"We are very busy; perhaps It will
be examined In alx weeks." .
Six weeks! That would be time
enough to starve in.
An old gentleman sat near the desk,
and was looking at her over his glasses
as she turned away. Something In her
face touched his heart
"Perhaps we can Jump rules In this
ease, Harry. Htippoee you look this
over and let her come In to-morrow."
The voting man looked a little sur
prised. "Just as you say, ar; I presume we
can. You may come In to-morrow."
"Oh, thank you!" An eager light
sprang Into her face, and she went hur
riedly out
"There was a prayer on that girl's
lips," said tbe elder gentleman. "I
hope the story la good for something."
Clara ate sparingly next day; there
was not enough for tbem both. It waa
not neceaaary to toll this to the Invalid
mother; pern! the story would be ac
ospted. She speat put of the day look
ing for work, and lat lu the afternoon
appeared at the uewspaper olBce, look
ing feverish and excited.
"We will pay $'J5 for your story,"
said the editor, briefly.
Too briefly, iierhap. A mist swam
before her eye, aud she grasped a
chair for support
Fire food comforts for mother! The
old gentleman, wbom she had not no
ticed, appeared before her with a glass
of water.
'This happened to b e handy. Sit
down until you are better," be said,
kindly. How could she know the story
her pinched young face told this grand
old man, who made it bis business to
assist tbe unfortunate?
Clara never knew how she reached
home. 8be dimly remembered an agree
ment to try another story, and found
she could write one quite as good as
tbe first, so the wolf waa kept from the
attic door for tbe rest of the winter,
and she entertained serious thoughts
of a better lodging, when something oc
curred that left her no option.
Up among tbe Vermont bills the trees
were Just springing Into leaf. A stern
looking old man stood on the veranda
of a handsome farm bouse, watching
the post boy as be rode up with the
mall.
"Here, mother, U your paper," he
called.
A pleasant-faced woman with silver
hair and a low, sweet voice appeared
In the door. For a time they sat read
ing together, when the woman sudden
ly arose and crossed the veranda.
"Here Is a story written by Mrs. Clara
Munroe. It Is like one our Clara wrote
when she was a girl at home, and just
describes tbe old place. It must be
hers."
Her hands were trembling as she
gave him the paper.
"Well?" he said, slowly, after look
ing It over.
"I thought perhaps, you had forgiven
her by thla time. I wish "
"It would tie easy to And her, but
what good will It do?"
"If she lives In the city, she might brt
glad to come home a little while this
summer."
"She ought to have stayed here," he
said uneasily, "instead of running off
with a man she knew could not take
care of her. If she wrote that story,
It Is probable she hus to take care of
herself."
"I wish we could know," said the
woman's low voice.
"I will write to the editor of the paper
and find out," he said, rising.
In a few days a reply came. "A young
girl wrote the story whose name was
Clara Munroe. She had an invalid
mother whom she supported." Her ad
dress was sent, nud one day later the
same stern old man climbed the Bleep,
narrow stairs to Clara Munroe's cheer
less attic.
A young girl opened the door for him.
"Ioos Clara Munroe live here?''
She turned toward the Invalid, and
was startled by her low cry.
"Father!"
"My poor child," said the remorseful
old man, gathering her Into his arm.
"I have come to take you home. Where
Is he?"
"Dead," murmured the
through her tears.
woman
And so they took the Invalid back to
her girlhood's home, and, with love
and care, sunshine and pure air, she
grew strong again.

years, grew young with Joy, and Clara

A new staple article made its appear
ance In the German coal mining dis
trict. Some Dutch and Norwegian meat
and fish preservers have succeeded In
preparing the meat of seals to resem
ble and taste somewhat like hams. This
meat, which serves as the principal
food of the Esquimaux aud other tribes
of the arctic regions, is now Imported
Into Germany lu quantities, but Is not
very unpopular on account of Its dis
gusting taste. It Is curious that this
article comes In the shape of the shoul
der of pork by reason of the anatomy
of the seal, the forepart resembling
mammals, while the rear part of the
body is more like a flsh. The authori
ties have taken tbe matter in hand and
Instructions have been given to prevent
the further Importation of seal meat.

A llog's Quear Trick.
A dog and horse owned by Col. W.
J. Hillings, of Oil City, l'a., says tbe
Derrick of thai city, afford the neigh
bors considerable amusement. Tbe
animals are companions and full of in
telligence. The horse has learned to
pick and untie all sorts of knots, and
unless the door is fastened y a pad
lock it is impossible to keep him in
the stable during the hot weather, with
tbe lawns in tbe neighborhood offering
overpowering temptations in the way
of juicy, clean crass. This trait gives
the dog much trouble, for the horse
pays no attention to bis barking or
lharp nippinas, but keeps trespassing
an the colonel's 'lawn or that of neigh
bors without discrimination. After
trying by all manner of stratagems to
et the horse back into tbe stable where
he belongs, the dog will give up the
ob in disgust, rush into the house, and
by barking or drawing at the dress of
lome of the lady members of the fam
ily, entice them to the window or yard,
slid as plainly as if be told in words
ihow that the horse is in mischief.
I bis performance has been repeated a
iozen times during the summer and in
no case has the dog begged outside as
listance until he had tried by every ef
fort of bis own to persnide hia com
panion to rett.rn to the stable.
