When Ma Wa» Near—A Little Girl Who I* a Regular member of the San Fran cisco Volunteer Firemen — Majestic Count Loo—A Young Critic. A Veteran at Twelve. Marie Mahoney is the mascot of the California veteran volunteer tire men’s association. She is the only girl mascot of the kind in the United States. She was born in San Francisco twelve years ago, and is the plumpest, jolliest little girl that ever was—just as if she wasn’t an “officer” in the “Vets.” When Marie was five years old she began to march with the veterans, on the occasion of the visit to this city of the New York volunteers of the same order. Since then there is no excuse to be offered why she should not go along when there is any marching to do. Marie Mahoney is the daughter of Senator Mahoney of this city and lives at the Baldwin and is as natural and unaffected as a girl could be. She wants to talk about anything in the world but herself and thinks inter viewing the greatest bore. But she finally gave up to what she knew was one of the inconvenieness of great ness and told all about her life as a mascot, and what a long, unending vacation it had always been. The veterans idolize her, and were it not that she has two sturdy little feet to walk on and looked so well at the head of their ranks they would insist on carrying her on their shoulders all the time when they are tramping. But Marie walks, and she walks miles and miles every time they have a parade and never thinks anything of the mud and of getting tired. As the result she is the pieture of health and doesn’t want to ever stop being a mascot. “Marie is getting too big to march much longer with the firemen," said Mrs. Mahoney the other day. “I shall let het walk just once more, and that must end it.” “No, mamma,” says Marie, coaxing ly, with the nearest approach to a frown which she is capable of; “no, mamma. I don't want to stop yet.” And then you can see that the chances are that Marie will have things all her own way. Marie went to the World’s fair as the mascot, “and I never saw her all the time we were gone,” says her mother. “That is, she was with the men all the time and I was only a maid when I did see her, to take care of her clothes and her fatner’s.” And she smiled indulgently on her. And Marie dresses just like the men, only she wears a black skirt. Otherwise she wears when she marches a red shirt made like the firemen’s shirts to a “t,” even to the little hooks that keep the collar down, a black tie and a most killing little helmet. And it is so nearly killing that she has to have a tiny fatigue cap fastened to her belt be hind just like the men. Her helmet is inscribed with all the monograms and letterings that make the other caps so interesting and mysterious. She carries besides, just like the three other officers, a silver trumpet, and she salutes with that, while the rest of the veterans salute with their hats. When tney went to Chicago they stopped at Denver, Salt Lake, Ogden, and Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York, not to mention Buffalo, Albany and Niagara Falls. At all these places the mascot and the firemen and their wives were met with bands of music, flowers, speeches and the freedom of the city until they were nearly spoiled for common, everyday affairs. Marie on all these occasions started off with the association and the association that came to meet them and marched until she was tired and rode the rest of the way on a little engine that they took with them that was born in 1820. It was the same everywhere they went, and there was a great deal more cheering because that special little girl was along than there would otherwise have been. They stopped at Washing ton and the president gave them a special reception and kissed the mascot, who gravely pinned a medal to his breast. He had been a great chum of Marie’s father in their old Buffalo school days. And the medals. There are 400 of them, of all sorts and description. They were given to the little girl everywhere she went, until she has medals that no one else in the world has. The one she thinks the most of is a plain, homely, faded red one that reads: “Only a few of us left.” There is comething sad about that to Marie, for it means that the men to whom the badge belonged are either eight times her age or they have died long since. lSut the best of it all is that Marie Mahoney is just a sensible, healthy, unspoiled little girl in spite of the life she leads, that is one grand com bination of candy, parades and medals. She has no more self-consciousness than a bird, and she thinks as mnch of the veterans as they do of her.— San Francisco Examiner. A Pansy Story. There is a charming little story well known in Germany, but with which American children are not so familiar. It is about the pretty pansy flower, and the tale is that the big petal was a bad stepmother who sat in the gar den with her four children. She sat up very straight and proud on her i green seat, holding her own two ! children next to her and pushing the I two step-children down, trying to get them out of sight. But presently the sun shone out in the heavens, and it looked down in the garden and slowly turned the pansy around till the lit tle, slighted children were at the top and the wicked stepmother was low est of all. (That is what the sun does to the pansies.) And thus, say the Germans, who are a poetical and re ligious people, “Ifeaven makes every thing right in the end.”—Inter Ocean Majestic Count Leo. •Count Leo is the name of a mag nilicent St. Bernard dog owned by M rs. L. M. Kirkpatrick. Leo is an aristocratic dog, as his name indicates, with a pedigree half a yard long, yet this in no way inter feres with his amiability and intelli gence. “Leo, run shut the door,” said Mr. Kirkpatrick to his dog, just as he would address a child, and Leo trots to the door and with his paw pushes it close, but still it is unlatched. “Oh, shut it close,” and his nose is brought into reqisition and the door closes. The ey-es beam with wonderful in telligence. Every word spoken is understood, whether by a stranger or those with whom he is familiar. The guests of the hotel where Leo’s home is foster this intelligence in many ways, a favorite one being to give their keys to him, with instruc tions where to leave them. The dog never makes a mistake as to the identity of a guest, nor the number of the room he has been assigned to. “Take those towels to No. -and leave them,” says the chambermaid, and it is done, the only reward Leo ever asks for being the friendly pat on his head in which he delights. “I’m going to dress up to-day, Leo,” says Mi-. Kirkpatrick, “and you may bring me my silk hat. ” Leo goes to a closet, and, raising himself to a level with a shelf, carefully takes down a box, opens it, and, gently as though it were an infant, lifts out the silk hat and lays it in his master's lap. one day instead ot the shiny black liat with which he was familiar a flip pant bit of flowers and ribbons and lace held together by half a dozen pins set with brilliants reposed in the bandbox. At the sight Leo’s ears went up; it was deposited on the floor, where he manifested his disgust by si. art barks Here he left the bonnet and began a search for the hat. At last it was discovered and his delight was great. He would not be content until it re posed in its customary place on the shelf. Leo possesses one accomplishment that makes one wonder just how close the line may be between brute intelli gence and human intelligence. Leo sings. Not as does his mistress, but in canine fashion. To a piano accom paniment he barks the scales, seven being his compass. When taking a lesson, however, he is apt to let his feelings run away with him and thus mar his conscience. At such times his mistress waits for a moment, say ing: "Come, Leo, got up m this chair here and rest a bit.” He climbs into the chair by the side of the piano, aad again the music starts, Lso accompa nying it by his rhythmical barking. “JJot so loud—softly now,” and the dog, understanding perfectly, modu lates liis voice to a mere whisper. This clever dog is 2 years and G months old, and first saw the light of day in Tacoma, where he has several brothers and sisters, much larger than himself, but none so intelligent. Indeed, it is claimed by Lao’s mistress that he is the smartest dog in Amer ica.—Chicago Times. When 31 a Was Near. I didn't have one bit of fear ’Rout nothin’ ’tall, when ma was near.

The following anecdote of an ab sent-minded man has lately come to hand, and while some of you may have heard it before, it seems to be too good to be passed over entirely. Among the personal anecdotes told of Peter Burrowes, the celebrated barrister, and one of Ireland’s “wor thies,” is the following remarkable instance of absence of mind. A friend called upon him one morning in his dressing-room, and found him shaving with his face to the wall. He asked him why he chose so strange an atti tude. The answer was, “To look in the glass.” “Why,” said his friend, “there is no glass there!” “Bless me!” Burrows observed, “I did not notice that before.” Ringing the bell he called his ser vant, and questioned him respecting his looking-glass. “Oh, sir,” said the servant, “the mistress had if removed six weeks ago.”—Harper’s Young People, fclnougli. Teacher, 6ternly—Willie Waffles, you were late this morning. Willie Waffles, blushing—Yes'm. I had to get up in the night and go for a doctor. Teacher—Well, Willie, I will excuse you this time, but I hope this will not happen again. Willie—That's what father said.
