"Oh, my poro hT cnilol"
Teara began to strcam down tho
black faco.
Tho wrinklcd old unclo looked deoply
distrcascd.
" 18 you pint plank suah ono on um'a

Bympathetically.
Her eyea wandered. vnguo and troub-

"Bettor count 'em," auggeated tho

"You sholy iB kind, Miatah," said
Siator Callino, gratcfully, sitting down
on the edgo of tho platform.
Tho agont laughed shortly and turned
away.
The grizzled old uncle took a rod and
yellow handkorchiof from his pocket
and carefully dusted tho end of the
planks before he took hia aeat.
Ho woro a threadbare black auit,
which undoubtedly onco moved in high
society.
Siator Callino looked at him with in
tereat. "I reckon dat you mua' bo a

"Madam, Iia. I'bo been preachin'

Siater Calline looked awed.
"I was, Buahl" said tho old man,
retrospectively. " But I'bo como inter

Siater Callino?"
" I'bo a poro widder, Mistah, with all

Uncle glanced at the bundlo in her
arms. It had begun to move and
whimper.
" Dat your baby, chile?" asked Un
clo, innocontly.
"Dis my baby," replied Sistor Cal
lino, looking down at the aooty mito in
her arms with maternal prido.
" My po' olo man nober neo dia baby.

Doar Listenor I listonod myseit a
day or two ago to a vory good anocdoto
of a grammar school youngator whom
you know, and whom for tho purposes
oi this commumcation 1 will call Sur
roy. Tho olcments for undorstanding
aro thoso: Surrcy has a married sistor
living. lot ub say, in Buffalo. Surrcy
himsoif Uvcb with hls parenta in ono of
tho outlying districts of Boston and at
tenda a grammar Bchool thero. About
ton doys ago Surroy's siater was at
tacked bv meaaloe and has been vory

from Buffalo to Boston. It happons
that at tho samo timo a emall opidomic

boon raging in a little diBtrict not far
from whoro Surroy livcs. Tho Board
Healtb. has boen trying to stamp out
tho discaso which oxists in tho district
whoro Surrev's school is located. A
fow days ago Surroy's toacher rappod
to call attention of hor punus, and re-
niarked upon the fact that thoro wero
somo caacs of measles andscarletfover,
and that it was quito important that
thoy should not bo communicated in tho
school, and concludcd by asking any-
ono in whoso family thero was a case
oither discaso to riso. Surroy
promptly stood on his feet. Tho teaoh-
who nappeneu to Know burrey's
mother, was quito Burprisedj and asked:
" Who in your family is sick?"
" My sister."
" Havo you a Bistor?"
" Oh, yes."
" What's tho matter with her?"
" MeaBles."
" How long has sho been sick?"
"Four or II ve days, aud sho'a been
out of hor hoad."
" Well," said tho teacher, " go right
up to Mr. Parker and tell him about
tlns."
Surroy wont boldly to the room of
tho mastor of tho school and knocked.
" Woll, what is it?" asked tho mas
tor."
" Miss Bailey told mo to
como and
tho ruea-
toll you that my siator has
sles."
How long has sho had tho mea
sles?"
" Almost a week."
" Aro you suro it is tho measles?"
" Oh, yes, the doctor Baid so, and
she's been delirious."
" And do you moan to say that your
mother, knowing sho had tho measles,
has sent you to school?"
" Yes, sir."
" Well, you go straight to your room,
and whon tho boll rings tako your books
and go homo, and don's como back to
school for three wooks."
" Yes, sir."
Surroy returned and reportod to MisB
Bailey what Mr. Parker had said, and
took his seat. A fow minutes lator ho
timidly raiscd his hand.
Woll, what is it, Surroy?"
"I didn'ttell Mr. Parkor that my sia
ter Uves in Buffalo."
Tho scholars shoutcd, and Miss
Bailey had difficultyinkeepingher own
countonanco assho said:
" Well, you had bettor go up and tell
Mr. Parkor now."
Surroy returned and communicated
the intelligonco to Mr. Parker, who
could not help noticing tho twinklo in
Surrey'a oyo, but said to him quito
stornly:
" Don't try that again. Return to
your room."
When Surroy roported at homo what
bad occurrod ho was romonatrated
with, but ho roplicd that ho only did
oxaclly what ho was asked to do, and
only answored tho questions that wero
put to him, and that he had boen told
many times not to voluntoer oxplana

A White Rcd Squirrel.
Dr. Emily G. Hunt, in May St. Nich-
olas, dcecribes tho following interesting
pet:
Somo girl cousins of mino living in
New Jereey havo an odd pet. It is a
white red squirrel.
xou nave all seen red Equirrels
chickareea " they call them, from the
sounds of their chattcring and acolding.
as thoy drop nutahelis on your hoad. or
run down a treo trunk by ilts and starts,
giving a little "chick" with cach for-
ward rush, whilo they watcb you abarply.
Our little pet is like one of theso in
evory way, except that ho ia so snowy
white that thecleanest table-cloth looks
dinzy compared to him.
Ho was born in a cranberry bog.
Some mcn cutting brush there saw two
strango little anlmals, one white, tho
other cream-colorcd. Thoy caught this
white ono by throwing a coat over him,
but tho creamy squirrel ran away.
When tho captive was brought home
all admired him greatly, for ho was, as
3'ou may iniaglne, a very beautiful little
creature, with hia long bushy tail aud
bright woodland tricks.
But thero is really ono strango thing
about him; his cyes are not rcd orpink,
as are those of most white animals, but
they aro as black as any equirrels could
be." So my girl cousins call him
Boads."
Whon an animal belonging to a spe
ciea comraonly dark in color is born
white instead, it is callcd an "albino."
You havo oll seon albino rabbits and
rats and mice. Their eyes aro pink.
So that Beads is really a most uncom
mon fellow, a snowy squirrel with jet
black eyes.
Albino or not, ho is at any rato a
most wiuning little pct, and there is no
end to his pretty way3. As a cat and a
kitten livo with tho samo family, he has
to bo kept in a tquirrel-cage; but he ia
let out a long tlme each day. Then
Boada is quito happy. He climb3 up
the back of the chair and nibblea tho
hairof tho person seated ln it, gnaws
the flowers in the window-3ill, rushes
up the atems of tho callas, and scratches
in tho carth until it llies on all sides.
He will rub his head and faco and all
his body in the earth, until hia clean
whilo dress is a sight to behold. Aftor
that he hops to the floor, and rubs his
faco carefully upon tho carpet.
He loves to retire to a corner or un
der a piece of furnituro for his toilet,
going in gray and coming out white.
If you peop and watch him, it is ereat
fun, for ho scruba and combs himself
with his pawa in the neatest way,
washes his faco just as a cat dooa, and
then takes hia big tail in his paws and
uses it for a towell Ono often hears
people wondor why squirrels havo auch

ful as balancing-poles and blankets, and
aro charming as ornaments, but not
many aro in Bcads's secret of thoir uso

Bcos aud a Bear,
In tho May numbor of St. Nicholas
is tho following account of tho pranks
ofa pet bear belonging to tho threo
soldlors, who aro caataways on a moun-tain-top
in tho South:
Itwas Philip who caught tho flrst
viow af him well up on tho trunk of
tho tallest cheatuut on tho platoau,
which, growing In a sholterod placo
under tho northwest hlll, had not beon
dwarfed and twiBted by tho winds liko
its fellpws blgUcr up. At the mpmont
ho was dlscovored, ho was lickfng hls
paw in tho most peacoful and contented
way, whilo tho air about his head was
thlck with a Bmall cloud of angry boes,
dartlng furiously among the limbs and
thursting thoir hot stings into his
shaggy coat, Beeming to diaturb him no
moro than ono Bmall gnat can disturb
an ox. Tho soldiors had beon dcprivod
of swoets sinco tho last of tho sugar
had boen usod, in tho early winter, and
aaupply of honey would just flt the
oravlnga of thoir educated tasto.
Sharo and Bharo allko, boar and man,
was tho unwritton law of Shorman Ter
rltory, and so whlle Philip shoutcd for
tho ux, ho began to throw clubs at
Tumbler, which wero so much larger
and moro porsuasivo than tho stinga of
tho beoB that tho boar began promptly
to back his way down tho trunk of tho
troo.
Coloman and Bromloy appeared In a
jlffy, caBtlng off their jackots and roll-

not yot got tirod of burrowlng into the
shaggy coat of tho boar, aud theso now
