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. -KatherJns Fyl * IP It. 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. " Saturday Oct. 4 a cobweb social at Dry Creek. Everyone invited. Ladies I lease br'ng bos suppers. These boxes will be sold at bo much an ounce.

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. Business Notices. Notices under this heading 5 cents per line each insertion.
