FOR THE LITTLE ONES ,
Ferocious Jack and the Little Girl
Who Loved Animals.
A girl of fourice w * c""t x fo
.n
, "
' 41 IjC"
<
, . - . , ' ' . : . : al biock was a great
tawny St. .Bernard dog dozing and
snapping at the occasional fly that
disturbed his dreams. "Oh , you
beautiful old doggie ! What a dar
ling you are ! " exclaimed the girl ,
and in another moment she was
kneeling bv him with her hand on
o f
his lion head and her yellow braids
half buried in his brown coat. The
dog opened his sleepy eyes , licked
her other hand and wagged his tail ,
| thereby signifying that , though he
| had not previously had the pleasure
of her acquaintance , he considered
her a very nice girl indeed.
Looking up , the little niaidon saw
the butcher standing in the door.
His face was white , as death. "F r
GodV sakkeep still ! " he crifcd.
"Come iioiv. Jack ! " he added stern
ly to tindo < _ r , and in a moment he
had him by the chain. "I wouldn't
lur.o taken that risk for all that I
possess , " he said afterward to the
I child's father. "He was left to mind
' the till , and he would have torn any
one eho limb from limb. I cannot
, uwlt > - ; ! ! it. " "But I do , " replied
i the # irl. ' ' 1 love animals and am
not afraid of them. " Maybe that is
the reason why Jack and the young
heroine are the best of friends even
unto this day. Xew York I ews.
If I Were a King.
"If I were a king , " said a child ,
"I would have a castle built that
would reach to the clouds. "
"And I , " said another , "would
wear only clothes made of silver
and gold. "
"And I , " said a fat fellow , "would
eat nothing but sausage and cakes. "
' 'And I , " said a little girl , and she
blushed a little , "would take care of
all the poor children and would give
them enough to eat and to wear. "
A Sweet Singer.
Marshall Brigllam , fln Indianap
olis ( Ind. ) bor , is creating consid
erable enthusiasm as a singer. From
the time he was four years old he
displayed markedmusical talent ,
and even at that early age he was
singing before church audiences. On
June 6 last at a concert given by a
chorus of GOO pupils of the Indian
apolis public schools he sang the
verses of the "Battle Hymn of the
Eepublic as a solo. An Indianapo
lis paper spoke of his sweet voice
and unspoiled manner as captivat
ing the audience. Another paper
said of him : "Clear and well modu
lated , the voice of the little fellow
tang out , filling the entire audito-
rium and stirring the audience to
abundant enthusiasm. Gifted with
a 'clean * voice and with an enuncia
tion rarely equaled by one so young ,
the boy sang the trying solo with an
ease and self confidence worthy of
noteMarshall is the son of Dr.
Edwin B. Brigham of Indianapolis.
The Wedding ,
What's all this stir In araongr the toys ,
The rustle and stir ? The donkey
The paper rustles , the little ball rolls ,
The round drum rumbles , the rabbit
squeaks.
There's not a toy but means to see ,
In all the closet , from wall to wall ,
The wedding between the Jack-in the-box
And the prettiest china doll of all.
She leaked so timid and he so proud.
And both were as happy as they could
be ,
And the moon shone in through the closet
door ;
It was really a beautiful sight to see *
But when it was over and all the toys
Had settled again upon the shelves ,
Where Jack and the dolly could not hear ,
They talked about it among themselves.
The little boy doll who carrie from France
Sighed aS he shook his flaxen head.
11 'Twouid have been all right for a wood-
eil doll.
But she might have done much better , "
he said.
Said Mrs. Noah : . "I really think
'Twas a very stupid and slow affair ;
I hope we shall find when we reach the
ark
The animals all in order there. "
But Jack-in-the-box and the little doll
Smiled at each other tenderly ;
They did not hear , and they did not care.
But both were as happy as they could '
be.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Cloth less Tables Decorated With Nat
' ural Flowers.
Following the fad for table cloth-
less luncheons came the innumer
able changes rung without ceasing
on mats , doilies and lunch cloths ,
, all gayly embroidered to imitate
1natural 1 flowers.
Xow comes an innovation more
startling still the needlework im
itations are discarded for the real
things. Flowers alone in endless
variety of contrast and harmony
are the latest development in table
decorations. .
An entire covering of daffodils ,
for instance , was the only "cloth"
used at a pretty luncheon recently
a very cioth of gold , indeed. An
other showed nothing but a rosy
bed of carnations strewn all over
the bare board.
A novelty for a summer night tea
was a decoration of fern leaves. The
fronds were first snipped of their
stems and then placed under each
plate and side dish , while in the
center of the table the ferns were
grouped with the stems together to
form a complete circle of dainty
woodland green. Upon this was
set a huge bowl of roses. The effect
was picnickly appetizing.
At another house the woodland
idea was carried still further. The
centerpiece was the usual bevel edge
mirror , and about this were sprayed
the ferns , dipping down lovingly
as if into a still pool in their na
tive haunts.
Fumigate Your Rooms.
Every house is better and the
health of the family benefited by a
' good fumigation of the rooms now
and then.
A hygienic sulphur fumigator
comes in the form of a small cake ,
of a light yellow , which stands on a
tin. You light the raised center and
Bet the tin on a plate having on it
a little earth or water to prevent
burning the carpet or floor. Close
the doors and windows tight. Open
the windows after fumigating. This
fumigator is said to be excellent for
purifying the air , and it is always
wise to give the rooms a thorough
fumigating when the house is re
opened after the summer vacation.
Another virtue ascribed to it is its
effectiveness in banishing mosqui
toes , Philadelphia Times.
Just a Few Hints.
Here are some hints for house
keepers :
Corks steeped in alcohol and vas
eline are an excellent substitute for
glasa stoppers. Acid in no way
affects them , and chemical fumes
do not eat them. The white of an
egg applied with a sponge will re
store the luster to morocco. A tiny
bit of cotton in the finger tips of
lisle and silk gloves will make them
wear longer. An alcohol sponge
bath is an excellent stimulant for
delicate and tired women. Many a
cold may be .averted if the shoul
ders and arms are bathed with it be
fore donning a low cut evening
Cross Eyes Straightened
WITHOUT AN OPERATION.
It is not frequent that grown people
can receive the benefit that a child can ,
but the following very interesting case
ic certainly worth reading , and those
wishing to investigate the matter for
themselves , will find the young lady
in question at 1446 Q street. Miss
Haas came to me two years ago to
learn what I could do for her. Besides
being blind in her right eye , which had
been a condition since birth , the eyes
were quite badly crossed. The treat
ment of this case Was undertaken and
after scientific adjustment of lenses
her letter will best tell the results and
express her feelings in the matter.
After two years , it can safely be said
that her eyes have been straightened
and the sight of the good eye very
much improved , as anyone who will
call on her can readily see.
LINCOLN , Neb. , Jan. 31 , 1900. Dear
Mr. Seymour : The glasses you made
for me two years ago have proved the
greatest blessing that ever came into
my life. It was bad enough to be blind
in one eye , besides being cross-eyed ,
but the thought of possibly losing the
good eye worried me very , much when
I first came to you for help. I am de
lighted to say that my one eye is very
much stronger today than ever before
and money would not induce me to
part with my glasses or go to any one
but you should I have further trouble
with my eye , or be so unfortunate as
to lose my glasses. I broke the bows
not long ago , and could scarcely wait
until they could be repaired , my eyes
were so uncomfortable when I was
obliged to go back to the old condition.
I thank you a thousand times for
what you have done for me and shall
be very glad to answer any inquiries
in regard to my eyes. Your sincerely ,
MISS LIZZIE HAAS ,
144G Q Street.
Dr. Seymour wil be accompanied by
a very noted car , nose and throat spp-
cialist , and you who are in need of tin
services of a specialist should remem
ber the date and cal on them.
CONSTTLTATION FREE.
JoD yrorfc at the DEJIQCRAT office ,
Miss Emma Peterson , another young
lady , was seen in Dr. Seymour's office ,
and in talking of the matter of her
eyes to a friend , expressed herself as
follows :
"It has been very hard for me to
consent to the wearing of glasses , and
only after being advised by my pro
fessor , Mr. Menzendorf
, to take a sen-
Bible view of it , could I bring myself
to this point. My left
eye was con
tinually watering , but through the
treatment of Drs. Seymour and Cox
and the fitting of proper glasses , I
have been very much relieved. "
In justice to Miss Peterson , we would
say , that this was not said for publica
tion , but we have taken the liberty of
publishing the statement , as she has
many personal friends herewho will
be pleased to learn of her improved
condition.
In talking of the work done by Dr.
Seymour , Miss Josie Morrisey , No. 2119
P street , speaks in the following
words :
"One year ago last April I went from
Lincoln to Omaha to consult Dr. Sey
mour to have my eyes treated and
fitted with glasses. I had consulted
every eye specialist here in Lincoln ,
but failed to receive relief. After be
ing treated so successfully by Dr. Sey
mour , it gives me pleasure to say at
the present time that I consider his
work simply wonderful. The glasses
have practically cured my eyes. I can
now read without them , if necessary ,
when before it was impossible for me
to use my eyes any length of time
without glasses , before receiving those
fitted by him. I really cannot say
enough in praise of his work. "

The following very complimentary
statement comes from Mrs. S. A.
North , No. 827 H street.
"Yes , Drs. Seymour and Cox are
treating me. Dr. Seymour has made
new glasses for me , and Dr. * Cox has
been treating my ears. I hare now-
been treating with , them for two
weeks , and am perfectly happy over
the wonderful improvement that has
been made in my hearing. Before I
could not hear ordinary conversation
in the room at all , although when any
one stood close to me I could hear
them. After my second treatment Dr.
Cox asked me if I noticed any differ
ence , and I was perfectly amazed , as
I could hear every word he said very
distinctly , although he was not speak
ing in an unusual voice. I thought
last night when I went home I would
watch myself and found that I could
hear the clock "ticking and also the
conversation of those in the room ,
something most remarkable to me , as
my case is of twenty years' standing.
I might add that I simply consulted
the doctors to ease my own conscience ,
as I had heard so much of their skill ,
but at the same time I had no faith
in the fact that they could help me *
I am extremely grateful for this mar
velous improvement , and * I only hope
that my friends and acquaintances who
knew of my affliction will embrace this
opportunity of consulting such suc
cessful specialists If troubled with
either defective sight or hearing. "
Dr. Seymour will be accompanied on'
his coming visit by a noted ear , nose
and throat specialist.
