New York is enjoying a new story
f bout Richard Mansfield. Whdn Sousa
(eturned to New York he was exceed-
ingly anxious to give a concert at a
Broadway theater, but the only one
available was the Herald Square, of
which Mansfield has the exclusive con-
trol for- eight* weeks. Col. Hinton
Visited the great artist, but his propo-
sition was rejected with scorn. Mans-
field could not think for one moment
pf tolerating a brass band within the
pacred walls which six nights in the
week are privileged to re-echo the
tones of his voice. Hinton, who is a
plan of great resources, was struck
by a happy Idea. He softly suggested
to Mansfield that of all the composi-
tions which it had been Sousa’s proud
privilege to play those which had just-
ly earned the bandmaster’s greatest
admiration were the compositions by
one Richard Mansfield. It is said that
a smile replaced the clouded brow of
the actor, and after a few more mo-
ments of discussion it was agreed that
Mr. Sousa could have the theater on
Sunday nights on one condition, name-
ly that Mansfield's own march should
be given a place of great prominence
on the program. What seems to be an
unfounded rumor adds to this little
story the fact that somebody bought
thirty-five tickets for the concert, and
that by a curious coincidence the seats
were occupied by members of Mans-
field’s company, who were conspicu-
ously vehement in applauding the
work of their star.

Despite his comparative youth, this

veteran of the stage. At the Park

claimed him for her own. He played
for a time with the Vokes family in

A little brown rabbit sat under a tree,
V.’ith a little brown headache to

Since not for his little brown life could
he see
Why he couldn’t get up it on foot.
"There's a little red animal, very like
me
(But with very Inferior ears).
Who hops to that tree top as quick as
can be!’’.
And he squeezed out two little
brown tears.
But the small wicked squirrel peeped
down from his branch
(Dropping nutshells beneath him
like bail),
And winked at his friends as he said:
"But, by chance.
You’ve forgotten, friend Habbit, my
tail?”
And a little brown heap gave a lttti*

And uplifted a little browo wall,
As it mournfully looked at lta little

The question whether or not child-
ren should be encouraged to read
newspapers has been brought up for
discussion recently by the statement
that juvenila magazines are losing
their popularity. It la probably true
that boys throw aslda these publica-
tions sooner than in former year*, but
] it is doubtful if anything is lost
I thereby. The step from knlckerbock-
' era to business is shorter than it used
to be. Then, why should a boy cling
to Juvenile papers and magazines,
however meritorious? Unless he is to
bo a bookworm, the sooner he gets in
touch with the workaday world the
better for him. Complaint io made that
the newspapers have cut into the Ju-
| venile publications—tjiat. the boys
i read the news. Of course there is
I reason la all things, but" why should
not an Intelligent boy keep up with
! current events? The boy who can tell
you the main features of the presi-
j dent’s message, who knows the condi-
- tion of the Cubans, who has read all
I about the steel trust, and understands
! the rise of Schwab to place and power,
! who can tell you Andrew Carnegie’s
| history, and Jim Jeffries’ prize ring
! record, la in a more robust mental
i condition and more likely to succeed
I in life than the boy who is kept on
! literary baby food after he has out-
| grown the need of it. Teach your boy
! to read Intelligently, to avoid the use-
less news of wrecks and crimes and to
! elevate himself to more important
| matters. Any father ought to he
\ proud of the young son who can give
an intelligent explanation of the
' Sehley-Sampson controversy, and who
has an opinion of his own as to the
j merits of the case. That boy has be-
' gun to be a man. He is getting ready
1 to take his place among men and to
hold his own with them. Don’t stop
j him. If you can’t help him along, get
| out of his way.—Atlanta Constitution.
when she recognized the occupant as
Cinderella. Next in line came the
fairy godmother herself, waving her
wand to the tune of the elfin music,
and she was followed by two tiny little
maidens in whom Helen had no dif-
ficulty in recognizing the famous
characters. Snow White and Rose Red.
It was just like opening a book of
fairy stories, and, instead of reading
about all those people, to really see
them, which, of course, was much
nicer. In the whole procession there
was no one omitted who had any
prominence at all in fairyland. Even
old Bluebeard was there, but with sueli
a kindly smile on his much-dreaded
face that no one could possibly bo the
slightest bit afraid of him. When the
whole long procession was over the
fairies’ band struck up soma particular
kind of Twelfth Night music, and the
festivities began In earnest. Bach
took a partner and the dance com-
menced by Cinderella and the prince
leading in a queer mystical figure,
which all followed. Helen thought the
godmother and Bluebeard were the
best couple, for the fairy had her
waad with her, you see, and did all
sorts of magic tricks while the dance
wts going on.
Nothing could be prettier than this
strange and unusual sight, but al'
thing*, must come to an end, and »o •
Anally the nioon hurried behind a
cloud and the falrlee gradually became
more and more hazy, umtll they faded
away completely, nnd the audience
realized it was time to go home.
Helen felt strungejy alone, after her
little friends had gone, and was onlly
too Blad to run quickly up the ladder
again and Jump into her warm bed. At
the breakfast table next morning the
whole family were much amused at
Helen’s adventure, but the little girl
was disgusted with their ipcredulous
looks. "Mamma,” said she whon they
were alone, "I really did see the fairies

way."—Elizabeth W. Ives in Philadel-

I “Mamma,” said little iV-len, just’ be-
1 ’ore going to bed on Twelfth Night,
"do failles really #co::ie out and dance
Lin the lawn to-night?” "Well, Helen,”
confessed mamma, "l really don’t

j and before site knew it she wa : fast

it just ha;.pi tied that a few of i

thought, "what’s the matter with the
old man up l her if ” For there he w
smiling away—and yes. 1 do declare,
he was beckoning ta somebody. "1
never knew the man in the moon had

"I wonder if he Is motiosiag to mo?"
And she jumped out of b»d and ran to
'the window, threw it open and peep-
ed ait. "How warm It is," said Il'i-n
aloud. “I do believe I’ll jo out on (lie
roof, for that old man eeitainly wants

The green lawn stretched like velvet

As we see upon the streets of Bos-
ton dozens of seal skin sacks, worn by
women of wealth, very tew of us give
a thought to the animal that supplies
tha skins out of which the garments
are fashioned, says the Boston Jour-
nal. Seals are found all along our
’northern coasts and on the shores of
Newfoundland and several hundred
thousand are killed every year. Up
in the northern regions seals are often
taken for pets when young, and will
become as devoted to their master or
mistress as will a faithful dog. A boy
writes: “I was presented witii a seal
by some fishermen. It was two weeks
old, and soon became quite lame, fol-
lowing me about and showing signs
of pleasure when I would come near—
even eating out of my hand. It was
fond of heat and would lie for hours
by the kitchen fire, raising Its head to
look at every newcomer, but never
attempting to bite any one. It would
nestle close to the dogs, who soon be-
came quite accustomed to their new
companion. The following winter
I after 1 received my pH seal was very
