Th" exterior of her lioni" wi-s equally neat. Dry leaves never chafed each other merrily in her door-yard: not oven a strav goo-v feather had ever been seen aiming the blade-, of her 1 lender-oil's be!, lawn gra?s. ?di-s White lejjj gee.--. .She was not care less of tlie comliKand cushions of life.11 To the latter .-.lie was especially de vote!. Her geese wore her treasures. No other geese in the village could grow Mich feathers a hers; and .-o it happened thai her beds, her pillows and her bolsters were marvels of .-oft-ness and comfort. And. of eour.-c. she possessed no end of sofa pillows and chair cushions, not to mention a most enticing feathery arrangement for her cat. Miss While never invited children to visit her. "Tli"y do upset things so." she said, "ami are sure to get the things awry, :.nd to make such general roufu:n, thai it take at least a week to get ll.ings right "d again.' The vil lagers all thought Miss White verv nice, but rather fussy. Not. one of them ilrcayied of Hie eistence of a warm, tender corner in her heart, where a tleed kindness was tucked awav. which wa.s to be brought out and well paired on bright Thanksghing Day. On inc corner of tne valle road there was a big tree. The village car penter had fastened to it, a good-sized board, which was used as a sort of bul letin. All the festivals and fair-, and school meetings and political meetings were posted upon it for the bent lit. of the passi r-.-by. Not far from the tree there lived a little girl named Nellie Bird. She was a sweet ch.M. Her life was like a little song, and she was al ways trying to do something to put a Ming into the lives of others. One day when she was in the eitv a gentleman nor littl e nooxs iimt oards. On the cards a vrw was prim ed which pleased Neliie very much: nnd he began at once to try to contrive some place where she could put a card, where ever .so many people could see it. All at once she thought of the corner tree, and resolved to tack it up there, lint she did not want her left hand to know what her right hand was about; and so she had to plan some way by which she could get the card on the bulletin, and keep it for a secret of her own. letting no one know who had put it there. There was a time about the middle of the morning when the village seemed to be napping. Every one had been nfter the mail and had returned home -igain; the factory hands were busy at their work, the children uere in school; the mothers were, in the kitchen mak ing dessert-, not forgetting the turn overs for the hungry youngsters; the grandmothers were knitting by the 1i reside, and the streets were deserted. Nellie did not go to school, so she chose that quiet hour to perform her little mission. And with the card in one hand and a pin in the other she Tan down to the big tree. She found a stone which would" answer for a ham mer, and soon fastened, the card on the bulletin board. Miss White went out to walk that afternoon. She was going down to the store to buy a half-pound of chipped beef, and she passed the big tree by the way. That little card in the middle of the large board looked so queer that she stopped to read it. The words she read made a. great impression upon her; she could not seem to forget them. Jill the rest of that day and all the next day they kept humming in her ears, and as her ears were large the hum ming was very loud : "1 expect to pass through the world but once; any good thing" that 1 can do or any kindness that i can show to a human being, or any wocd I can speak for the good of others let me do it now. Let me not neglect or defer it, for I shall not pass this way again." It was Thanksgiving week. Miss "White never invited company to Thanksgiving dinner. She feared that oxne of her nice china might get nicked, and that was too precious: she could not run the risk. Some kind neighbor always remembered her, and hetook her turkey and pumpkin pie -nuder some one else's vine and fig-tree. But this year those words on the big tree haunted her, until she made a fa mous resolve a resolve which brought about the jolliest Thanksgiving she fcad ever known, and which surprised every one, and most of all Miss White IIP 2 lininp.r i i 'Soft W of ntl There were r.t least a dczen children employed in the factory, poor, neglect ed little things, with pinched faces and hungry eyes. They worked early and late, and lived in" a row of tumble down tenements on the outskirts of the village. Yen early on Wednesday morning, long before the factorv whis tle had" sounded, Miss White" might have been seen trudging along the. road in the direction of those wretched homes. Hefore she returned home, all the facto; y children in the row had been invited to take dinner with heron Thursday. What a busy life she had! Preparing dinner for a dozen remarkably hungry young-ters, was to her a formidable un dertaking. But her heart was in it and she worked as she never had worked before. The cat looked on in astonishment; his hair fairly .stood on end most of that da'. Hefore the shades of night had fallen, the kitchen table rcalh groaned with itsunu-ual burden, but it was a happy groan. There was the largest blue platter piled tip, mount ain high, with frosted doughnuts; there were half a dozen delicious pies, pump kin, apple and mince; there were cran berry tarts by the wholesale, and loaves of bread enough to supply a whole army; and in the foreground among the other goodies, were two monstrous geese the flowers of her Mock all die ed and ready for the oven. Yes, Mis. White, in her zeal to do good, had even gone.-o far a to sacrifice a couple of her feathery trea-ures. She was too tired to go to church on Thursday morning, but there was more of thank-giving in her heart than there had been all the years before when .she had never failed to be present at the legtilar service. of course, the children all came at the appointed time. And. oh! how they did eat! 'The gee.-e, the pies and the doughnuts vani.-hed in a jiffy," Mi--s White said, and every one won dered what a jiffy could be.but nobody asked, so those, who did not consult Webster's unabridged have kept on wondering to this day. After the dinner had been disposed of. the merry diners-out were invited into the parlor, where Mi While re newed hciM-oulh. recalling tiie games of 1-iTig ago, and joining in them heart ily with the children. She even o far forg-.t her dignity as to take to- p.irt of old Mammy Tip-ytoe," and act ually ran through the rooms, followed by her noisy guests. While they were in the mid-t of "I'uss in the Comer." in came the village pastor, who, hear ing the hubbub, had rushed in to see what was the matter, shouting as he came: " Ih'.-i lliefiun or the moon tuiii!i'cd Into tho m a. Or wjuit is tho mutter? ;ir.iy tell unto tne." Hut he showed his approval of the sport by joining in the merry games. So they frolicked and laughed until the dinner was well diget"d. and then th-y were ready to do full justice to the fruit ami nuts which appeared on the .sC T.' When, before nightfall, the children bade their kind hostess "('ood-b(c." it was with the cheering assurance that they had never before in all their lives had such a perfectly splendid time. The next day Miss White examined her china critically, but failed to dis cover a single nick. However. he did have a game of "spot on the o.irpet" all by herself, lint she seemed to find pleasure in that, for as she scrubbed she sang, and the song told the story of thai sweet peace "and happiness which is sure to follow each elfort we make to do good to those around us. She seemed to hear echoed the words she had read so often with indifference, i but which now were specially sig nificant: "Inasmuch as yr have done it unto one of the lea-t of these, ye have done it unto me.'' Chicago Jn Iwior. RABBIT-HOUNDS. I'oals IVrfnr:inMl by a Gallant Anlmnl Itefiiro Admiring Spectators. " Rabbit-hounds are scarce, and con sequently very expensive.'1 said a liroonu street dog-dealer. "There is one that hasn't his equal in the city. Como her.-. Stench, you're wantod.'' Stench came slowfy out of a corner, lie was a tri-colored dog black and white, and the white specked out with ycliow dots. His nose was long and his tail was thick. Outside of a dog fancier's establishment it would have been easy to classify him. Here, however, he was not a cur. but a rabbit-hound. "He has one great advantage over most dogs of his kind," said the dealer. " He is full of pluck. He will not allow a stranger to touch me. Just put your hand on my shoulder and see what he will do.'' The reporter's hand was placed as directed, and the dog looked on and blinked his eyes in an uninterested manner. "He seems to have taken a sort of fancy to you." explained the dealer. "Would you mind pointing your toe at him?' The toe was pointed and the rabbit hound retreated hastily. "He thinks I am only joking.'' said the dealer. "Have you any objection to go over and kick him? That will rouse him up. He is a great dog when he once gets fairly started." The reporter approached the hound to spurn him, bu the animal tied, howling, around the room, and reso lutely avoided the issue. His tail seemed to be more frightened than his head, for, while it started well in tho rear, its tip was on a level with his chin before half a circuit had been made. "He is out of sorts to-day," said his owner, apologetically; "but I would not advise you to try his temper too long. Now. just throw this bone to him." The bone, which had been extracted from a box in the room, was thrown, and the hound seized it and retired with it under a bench, where he snarled over it. and guarded it, and finally tried to gnaw something off of it. What do you think of that now?'' asked the dealer admiringly. The reporter acknowledged that it was well and boldly done; but as ho had seen curs of low degree perform similar feats he declined to pay fifteen dollars for the rabbit-hound. There are better rabbit-hounds than Stench, but the breed is nearly extinct. Thev are long and low and possess a remarkable power of worming into small holes. Though some of" them weigh eighteen pounds they cau go into" any Kole where a rabbit has passed through before them, driving the quar ry out by another burrow, ube brought down at close range by the sportsman like owners of tKe dogs. Sometimes netting is placed over all the burrows in the warren except the hole by which the murderous dog goes in, and the hound drags the rabbits out one by one to death; but the ferret does the some work and does it better, and the rabbit hound is doomed to speedy extinction N.

It was only Aunt Nannie af'er all, though Tom would have you bcKcwj it w:w a real fairy with wings of silver gauze and a wand like the one in his story book of .Jack and the He install;. It was only Aunt Nannie, but when I a ay that 1 say a great deal, and I feel like going back to cro-s out that word onhj, for fear it may seem to take from her power. If yofi could -ee her you would laugh at the word power in connection with her. She was such a little worn. in. She looi.iil a.- M you could tarry her in one hind: but indeed one must needs have, a high baud to carry her. in all disputed jio.n.,s she carried her-elf so well that she generally "carried the day." too. Well Aunt Nannie was planning a dinner party tor next day. She had invited Mr. and Mrs. May-at-home, Mr. lirowler ami Miss Nobody' s-owu to Thanksgiving dinner. She would have out her verv best china and siiver. her -nowiest cloth. Iter piettiest crystal and then such a good dinner as she would pre, -are! Her mouth fail 1 y wa e:ed as she thought over the daintier -he wou'd give I-) the-e less lavored trieuds. Kcr Aunt Nannie ju-t loed to see people hippy about her. and her kiudliuc-s went further Mian that, she loved t-i make ihem h:ipp by ner own effort Many a weary nihl her 'rail little body Knew, from lur.ing given too much strength in the day to the care of others. What a little body she was, to be sure! .lust a patch of goodness, if I may call her so, but a patch that mended man' a torn life and made whole many a rent in pocket-book or heart-strings. SomeboiK laughingly called her "the little straight up and down woman.'' because her s-oft. black dress clung so closeh to her slim figure, and it was not a bad name for her either, for, in matters of right and wrong, she was the most decided character I ever knew. Well, she was this morning in one of her happy moods and when the door opened and Mrs. Williams, her friend from up town, came in. Aunt Nannie r.-e to meet her with a bright welcome. Mrs. Williams had many things to tell and to ask. How much cream did sha use in Charlotte lu-se for eight persons? did she clear her wine-jelly w.th eggshells? was Mis. Troudiit coming to lier din ner? and di I -he know that the Smiths bad iir.ited the new doctor to their ho't.-e? and Klla just home from abroad. Wouldn't there bo a grand display in that dinner. Well, it wasn't for her to criticise, but he did think if they would care for tiieir own relations, the lbownwells. it would look better. They were so poor. She lbownwells. and s.nce Mr. R's ac cident at the jnill. he had never been able to resume his business l.fc "If they were as near me in the mat ter of relationship as the are in the matter of houses, I should feel that I ought to help them, but they are nothing to me exiept as far as common human ity is concerned, even if they do live next door." So said Mrs. Williams as she chat iered on this topic and that, and when ,he rose to go it was with cheery kind ness in her pretty face aud a hear overflowing w.th goo! will, so long as ihat kindness anu good will did nofcost her any particular etlort. After the door closed upon her visitor Aunt Nan nie 5tof;d thoughtful for a few moments and then began to busy herself once more about the dinner preparations for the net day. But she moved very slowly this time, and there were two word ringing in her ears: 'Common humanity!"" Was it true then that one's next door neigh bor was no more than that? Aunt Nauu.e had known these Brown wells in their happ er days, when the father was a successful merchant. She and Mr. Brown well bad often been thrown together in hospital work and in their flower mission. The children at the Brownwell house learned to love the sweet, pure face of mamma's friend, aud called her affectionately "Aunt Nannie." a if to claim some relationship to one so good and kind so that Tom was not unknown to her. as she tood th nking of him among the rest, this cold morning, and plan ning how to bring warmth and cheer into that home of theirs. Their lives had only drifted apart somewhat on account cf Mrs. Brown well's active home Kfe ami her own failing health, neither being fn.eto join in the work for the public good as heretofore. "Well," said Aunt Nannie, at length, shaking her pretty head in a decided way, "It shall fce a real Thanksgit ing dinner in the Brownwell bouse, even if this party ge no farther than the soup course.'1 Now. when that little vrman made up her mind the-e was an end on it-' The good she willed toward others was bound to be carried out. and you might "depend on it." Therefore ii was that an hour later found this same frail little woman stepping into her carr.age. with a lis: in her hand as long as the hand which held it. and a basket stowed away beneath the coachman's feet, which same basket was destined to carrv many good things before it should "cry "Hold! enourfi!"
