“Now, children,” she said, “tell ms

No reply.
"Oome, now,” she repeated, deter
mined to extract the right answer by
naming everything that a dog didn't
wear, “does he wear feathers?”
A pained expression crossed the face
of-a-little boy in the front row.
“Please, ma'am,” he said, pityingly,
“ain’t yen never seen a dog?”

“Don’t you think our friend Cros-

THE OWLS.
"I am going to tell you a story
about some owls, this evening,” said
Daddy.
“Are you going to tell us about Bil
ly Barred Owl?” asked Nancy.
“We haven’t heard of him in a long
time,” said Nick.
“Well,” said Daddy, “I thought It
might be fffee to tell you of some owls
We don’t know quite so well as we do
Billy, and we’ll have a story about
Billy some other evening. What do
jrou think of that as a suggestion?”
• “I like that,” said Nick.
“Yes,’’ said Nancy, “for we do like
to add to our friends among the birds
and animals and have a larger ac
quaintance all the time.”
“Then here goes for an owl story,”
said Daddy, "without our old friend
Billy Barred Owl, of whom we’ll hear
later on most certainly, though. The
Acadian Owl was looking out from
his little brown eyes which were very

I’m not fond of basking in the sun

the sun because I like the night and
the sun never shines at night.
“Tt never has and if it ever does
I will go straight to bed to show It
what I think of It.’
“ ‘Don’t be absurd,’ said the Rich
ardson Owl, ‘for the sun will never
do such a thing.’
“T didn’t think It would,’ said the
Acadian Owl. ‘By the way,’ he added,
'you really look a lot like me.’

Roosevelt .Family, Whlls on Vacation,
Decided' There Should Be No Uiw
neoeeeiry Diah WhihTrig.'
“Practical Politics” was but one of
many subjects the late Cblohel Roose
velt had mdde his own. Hfs many-
sided common sense approached noth
ing without going straight to the prac
tical heart of it. In fils Inimitable
letters to his children the chapter, “A
President as Cook,” gives an example
of this, remarks the New York Eve
ning Post. The letter Is from “Pine-
Knot,” the Isolated Uttlp Virginia re-
treat where from time to time dur
ing their last years' in the White
House, and when in need of complete
rest Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt repaired,
taking no servants with them. After
descriptions of several meals of chick
en fried by the president with appe
tizing mention of beefsteak and corn-
bread, bacon and eggs, also cooked by
him—all interspersed with animadver
sions upon the Russo-Japanese war
and the peace he was endeavoring to
bring about—comes this: “As we
found that cleaning dishes took up an
awful time, we only took twoi meals
a day, which was all we wanted.” How
the housewife’s heart, specially In
these wlthout-a-cook-times, warms to
that sentence I How true It la that
“cleaning dishes” takes up “an gwful
time.” and how practical the two-
meals-a-day curel Few famlllea
would Indorse' the cure, of course—
It might be worse than impractical
to establish It And also, of course,
the whole thing would be heresy from
housewives themselves. But they
felish the comfort of such distinguish
ed sympathy.

One of them shot the goat. All bnt
two of the dogs were kllledl on the

the greatest difficulty that the Indians
saved their horses from getting punc
