FOR THE LITTLE ONES ,
The Boys Who Thought Thompson
Seton Was a "Reg'Iar Bird. "
If Ernest Thompson. Seton chose ,
he could write a book on his lectur
ing adventures that might prove as
interesting , though in a very differ
ent Vtiy , as his "Lives of the Ilunt-
ed. " The other evening he was stop
ped at the theater door by half a
dozen ragged boj s , one of whom
said :
"Say , mister , are you de jay dat
talks about de animals ? "
"Yes. "
"Well , say , won't you give us a
pass ? "
"How many are there of you ? "
"Only eleven" ( others now ap
pearing ) .
Mr. Thompson Seton called his
manager and said :
"Pass these eleven boys. "
"There's eighteen now , " said the
spokesman.
"All right ; pass eighteen , " said
the man of the beasts , for he never
sends a child away if he can help it.
During the hour and a half lecture
he had no more appreciative hearers
than those eighteen newsboys. After
it was over he stepped out the back
way , and here Avere the eighteen
waiting as before.
Their spokesman now came for
ward and expressed the sentiments
of the others in language more
forceful than ornithologically cor
rect :
"Sa } ' , mister , that was great !
You're no jay. You're a bird a
reg'lar bird ! "
When the Trustees Come.
Sometimes when , me an * all the rest
Are busy on a sum
The teacher says , "Now , look your best
Before the trustees come. "
An * then she picks up ev'ry scrap
An' rubs the blackboard down.
An" we just sit with hands in lap ,
" \Vhen the trustees come aroun' .
It seems so awful long to us
To sit BO still an' straight ,
But we Just das'ent make a fuss
While they investigate ,
An' if we even whisper low
We see the teacher frown ,
An' ev'rythins must be just so
When the trustees come aroun' .
Then Squire Jubb will take his stand
An * read from off a card
An * ask where did John Cabot land
Or something just as hard ,
An' then he'll ask. one at a time ,
To write the oceans down ,
An' you must have your mem'ry prime
When the trustees come aroun' .
An' while the squire turns his face
An' talks on cold an" heat
Young Dr. Jones has found a place
Beside the teacher's seat.
An' she just shows his words confuse
An * lets her eyes drop down.
But we must mind our "p's" and "q's"
When the trustees come aroun' .

Why Ethel Behaved.
Ethel used to play a good deal in
the school. One day she had been
very quiet. She sat up prim and be
haved herself so nicely that after the
school was over the teacher re
marked :
"Ethel , my dear , you were a very
good girl today. "
"Ycs'm. I couldn't help being
dood. I dot a stiff neck ! "

teen years of age and buti feet 4
inches in height this litilc fellow
travels all over the country selling
a well known typewriter , drawing
a salary of $1,000 a year. The boy
has helped support his family since
he was nine years old. At the age
of twelve he was employed as a mes
senger boy by the AYestern Union

ace and learned upon inquiry some-

\Ir. \ Marriott took his machine apart
md offered Carl 25 cents if he could
jut it together again. He succeeded
n doing it in less than ten minutes.
Mr. Marriott offered to take the boy
vith him on his travels. The boy ac

CONDENSED STORIES.
Suggested Name For Sister Goat to
the Holy Terror.
William. Gillette , the author-actor
and playwright , is an enthusiastic
boatman. When he was a boy in
Hartford , Conn. , when his father
was the founder of the suburb of
Glenwood , he spent almost all his
leisure constructing paddle boats on
the Parmington river. "When Gil
lette got rich , he built a roomy house
boat called the lloly Terror. Cum
bersome as the craft was , she had her
own motive power , so that her own
er could move from one point to an
other at will without depending on
the exactions of a tugboat captain.
One Sunday Gillette stopped on
the Hudson , just below Grant's
tomb , to fake on some guests. When
he started away , the machinery of
his Holy Terror got awry , and the
houseboat ran amuck through a lot
of little catboats and rowboats an
chored along shore , tearing away
rigging , dories and everything in
sight. Gillette stopped to ascertain
the damage and make promises to
pay.
pay."Say , " exclaimed one man who
rented boats , "if you are going to
build another thing like that I wish
you'd name her the Merry Hell. "
A Dude's Narrow Eccnpe.
Two youths , dressed without re
gard to expense ( or fashion ) , strolled
up Broadway , Xcw York , one of them
twirling a heavy lancewood cane.
"Look out ! " cautioned his com
panion. "You came near knocking
THE CAKE TWIBLiEU GIiANCED BACK AT
THE MAN.
off the hat of that man we just
passed. Carry your cane more care-
full } * or you'll get in trouble. "
The cane twirler glanced back at
the man whose hat he had so nar
rowly missed.
"I wouldn't have cared if I had
knocked it oil' , " he bragged. "I'm
pretty good at sizing up a man , and
that little fellow wouldn't have last
ed half a round against me. Besides ,
from the look of him any fool could
see hewouldn't have sand enough
to resent it. "
And they passed on , never dream
ing of the averted tr ° gcdy.
Por thelittle fellow" was Tom
Sharkey.
Carnegie Amused.
Andrew Carnegie is not often a
visitor to Wall street , and when he
went down there a few weeks ago he
passed unobserved down the famous
thoroughfare , right into the arms of
a runner for a bucket shop.
"Come to put up a little money
on the rise of the market ? " asked
the runner. ' 'Sure thing ; can't lose.
Stocks tire going up. I'll show you
where you can double your money in
half an hour. "
"Double all I have ? " asked lr.
Carnegie , assuming an air of eager
innocence.
"How much've you'got ? " inquired
the runner.
"Oh , a little less than $175,000-
000 , " replied the canny Scotsman
simply.
"Wh-what ? " gasped the man.
"But I am trying to get rid of it ,
not double it , " went on the iron
master.
"Why , are you Andrew Carne
gie ? " asked the runner.
"I am , " said he , going on and
chuckling quietly to himself. Xew

The Psge's Pointed Question.
Senator Mallory of Florida , bald
as a doorknob , sat in the Democratic
cloakroom one morning. He called
for a page. A boy came in who had
a big bunch of hair standing '
straight up from his forehead.
"Son , " said the senator , "why '
don't you get that cowlick of vours
/
w
fixed ? You should train it dom ,
or when you get married it will give
your wife a fine place to grab hold
of. "
"Senator , " asked the boy meekly ;
"Is that the way you lost your hair ? ' *
Slower Than Philadelphia.
A Philadelphia member of the ]
state legislature was recently show j
ing some Harrisburg friends around 1
! ' the city hall and took them into j
Mayor Ashbridge's room. His j
honor made himself very agreeable j
to the visitors , as is his wont , and
had a hearty "Glad to have met
you ! " for them as they were de
parting. One of the strangers ,
much impressed by the mayor's cor
diality , lingered long enough to say :
"If you're ever up in our town ,
come to sec me. I'll treat you right.
You've never been to Harrisburg ,
have you ? "
"Oh , yes ! " replied the mayor. "I
spent two weeks there one after
noon. " Philadelphia Times.
Pettus as a Speech Writer.
When Senator Spooner was fin
ishing his Philippine speech , Sena
tor Pettus , who is eighty-one , sat
steadily writing at his desk for more
than an hour , but at the same time
apparently listening to what Sena
tor Spooner was saying.
"What's he writing ? " asked Sen
ator Millard of Senator Scott.
"Don't know , " replied Scott , "but
it seems too long for a letter. "
The curiosity of all hands was
satisfied soon after , for Mr. Pettus
arose , took up the manuscript and
read from it. He had been writing
an answer to Senator Spooner while
listening to him. New York

Fast Travel.
A railroad train has run 149
miles , between Buffalo and Syra
cuse , in 145 minutes , including a
two minute stop at Rochester. Isn't
that just about as fast as any rea
sonable person should care to
travel ? Will the world be much
better oft if it gets electric cars
running at the rate of a hundred
miles an hour ? As to airships
well , nobody knows what they may
do at some time in the future. They
sail and soar , are not tied to metal
trackways , and the wildest imagina
tion can sail and soar and roam at
will with them up among the clouds.
A Witty Convict.
George J. Charlton , general pas
senger agent of the Alton road , is
in receipt of a novel recommenda
tion dated at Jolict , 111. : "Five
years ago I used your road to Jolict
and have not used any other since. "
The writer does not sign his name ,
but jrives his number. His term is
