BY MAY H. BRINCKLEY. •Copyright, 1902, by Dallly Story Pub. Co.) In a shady spot of a cool green wood a little brook rested between its mossy banks. The air was heavy with the warm scents of summer and all around the roices of the forest were whisper­ ing softly. They told strange stories of the far away world of men and sang of love and happiness and many other wonderful things; while oyer all the yellow sunshine rested lovingly. The little brook was content to loiter, and dimpled delightedly in the very joy of existence. From its bed in the mountain it had •oms journeying swiftly down; past narrow juttles and through high som­ ber walls of rock. But the gay little brook laughed at their grimness with a merry tinkle, only tumbling boister­ ously and turning little somersaults in lta haste to reach the warm blue sky. Then out into the sunshine, still sparkling and dashing down its peb­ bly way. As it continued its riotous course, fanned by the breeze and kissed by the •onllght, it left tokens of its good­ will with the plants and flowers that grew by its side. It sprinkled the feathery ferns and waving grasses with a shower of shining rain-bow drops. In the modest heart of the hidden violet, it left a single Jewel more bright than any diamond, and down the thirsty throat of the dark blue flag, it poured a tiny stream of crystal clearness. Then on and on; slowly through meadows and corn-land fields, where the little ground people came out to drink and to gather the news brought by the brook from all along its way. And softly stealing under dainty bridges, where many a rustic knight bad wooed and won his lady, the little brook bubbled on. And into the deep still wood it stole, where the sunlight glimmered fitfully through the leaves of the tall oak trees and cast green patches of light on the ground below, where, save for the gen­ tle murmuring of the things of the forest, everything was still with the soft hush of a summer moon. It was there the little brook rested. It rip­ pled in peaceful content, and listened to the voices. A robin perched on the last twig of a bough was serenading a buttercup below. He twittered softly, and the butter-cup bent her yellow bead in acknowledgment of the flatter­ ing song. A bumble bee was boldly robbing a sweet blue-bell of all its honey, and the little wortle berries looked on in horror. The wild rose listened to the old, old story, whis­ pered by a fluttering butterfly with gorgeous purple wings, and blushed a deeper pink, while the little breeze told of an exciting chase out from the West, and the trumpet vine blew all of its trumpets in applause. But what sound was it that the brook now heard? Not the robin's song, nor the buttercup's murmured reply. Neither was it the voice of the wind, nor the sound of the merry trumpets. It could have been nothing save the patter of little feet; for there, The brook. banding over and laughing at her own image reflected in its clear water, was a child, her arms laden with forest wild flowers, and her tiny bare feet Just on the edge of the stream. The sunshine turned her yellow curls to gold as she stooped to drop her flow­ ers one by one into the water. The little brook marveled at this, but ceased Its wondering when she spoke. Opening wide her dimpled hands, the last flower fell Into the arms of the brook. "For papa," she said. "He has no grave, you know. He was drowned at sea; and my moth- •r told me that yon, little brook, at last joined same great Ms sea. And so. went 7011 please take him these flowers, and tell him that his little sweetheart sent them? Oh! he will like them so much, for I gathered them all by myself." The robin's song was stilled, and the buttercup thought of another than herself. The dusty coated bumble bee stopped his plundering and listened, and the wild rose and the butterfly were still. Then the breeze lovingly touched the baby's curls and the lit­ tle brook overflowed its banks and rippled caressingly around her rosy ankles. The little maid smiled lovingly upon the whole forest family, then, turning "For papa," she said. suddenly, ran swiftly away, looking back to bid them a last good-bye. This extra bit of sunshine gone, the brook no longer lingered. On and on It went nntil, still bearing the baby's offering, it joined the great sea far away. THE LIMIT OF LAZINES8. Work of Thinking Up Names ef Two Dogs Too Much. "I never hear laziness discussed," said Frederick Kost, the artist, "but I think of old man Crawford, who used to keep an inn down on South Beach when the place was practically a wil­ derness, and a lot of us fellows were in the habit of running down there to sketch. He was without doubt the fellow most utterly devoid of energy it is possible to imagine. He wouldn't have breathed if he could have helped it "One of his sons, who had settled In New York, sent him two dachshund pups. I remember how Crawford would sit sunning himself on his porch the whole day, with one of these dogs, like animated sausages, on each side of him. They were always by him, one to the left, the other to the right of his ohair, when they were at rest "One day, as I sat talking to him, the dogs were romping in the house. Crawford turned and called: "Here, Cocoa, Cocoa!' and the dachshunds came trotting out "'What are their names, Craw­ ford?' I asked, thinking I had misun­ derstood. " 'Cocoa,' replied Crawford. " 'But there are .two/ I reminded him. " 'One does for both,' replied the old man. 'They're always together--come and go at the same time. And, any­ how, I'adMfet going to worry myself Into a decline by thinking up dogs' names.' "--New York Press. Progressive Mormonlsm. The Mormon machine for the re­ ligious education of the people Is do­ ing its work with relentless pi-eclsion; and, besides thiB, the best calculation which the writer can make from the last census shows that fully two-thirds of all the Mormons now living la Utah were born into that syqtem, and con­ sequently have never had a chance to know any other religion, says the Out­ look. Twenty years ago the propor­ tion would at least have been re­ versed, and the two-thirds would have been new-comers, tumbled together out of many nations, face to face with glaring abuses and immoralities, and often secretly, if not openly, rebel* lious. The power of the leaders has been sufficient to double or Quadruple the tithing receipts in the last three years by a new "revelation," twice re­ cently to reverse the political com­ plexion of the state, and to belt the Christian world with nearly two thou­ sand emissaries going out as prosely- ters at their own or their neighbors' cost These are not marks of declen­ sion, but of vigor.

Naval red tape is as stringent as that existing in the army, and some­ times the enforcement of the regula­ tions leads to ludicrous results. Some years ago, when the late Admiral Skerrett was a captain, an officer who had been charged with an offense and ordered under arrest presented him­ self to be arrested. The regulations provide that on such occasion the of­ ficer shall be in full dress and wear a sword. The officer wore his uniform, but had no sword. " I can't arrest you," said Captain Skerrett, looking for the missing sword, "unless you come prepared to submit your sword to me." The officer explained that he bad not received his sword from home, al­ though it had been expressed to him. "Well, you'll have to get one," was the reply. So the officer skirmished about In the navy yard for someone who had a •word to lend. Finding one, the of­ fender returned to Captain Skerrett and was promptly and regularly put under arrest according to regula­ tions. A Fortunate Postmaster. Kirk, Ark., July 14th,--Mr. William 8. Drennan, Postmaster at this office, counts himself a very fortunate man. Mr. Drennan In addition to being postmaster is a Justice of the Peace, a member of the Christian church and a highly respected and useful cit­ izen. He has suffered for some time with what some people would call "rlck- etts" or "rigors" of the kidneys--kid­ ney disease in a very painful form. He could not sleep, he had a dull pain over his left kidney, was con­ tinually restless, could not lie still, and had to get up through the night several times and was also troubled in this way during the day. He used a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy recently In­ troduced in this state and advertised as a cure for Kidney Disease, Rheu­ matism, Malaria, etc., and in a short time was completely restored to vig­ orous, good health. He is very grate­ ful to Dodd's Kidney Pills. Good-By to "Tipping." After the lapse of some years, a fresh effort is now being made in Berlin to stamp out the system of tip­ ping waiters at hotels and restaur­ ants. An "Anti-Tip league" has been formed, the members of which bind themselves on joining never to give any tips whatever to waiters in cafes, restaurants or hotels, nor to the con­ ductors of tram-cars and- omnibuses. In case any remonstrance should be made by those accustomed to receive gratuities of this kind, they are to be advised to lodge a complaint with their employers and to demand an in­ crease of wages from them. Supreme Court Sustains the Foot-Ease T rade-Mark. Justice ^aughlin, in Supreme Court, Buffalo, has ordered a permanent In­ junction, with costs, and a full ac­ counting of sales, to issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manufacturer of the foot powder called "Dr. Clark's Foot Powder," and also against a retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them from making or selling the Dr. Clark's Foot Powder, which is declar­ ed, In the decision of the Court, an imitation and Infringement of "Foot- Ease," the powder to shake into your shoes. Allen S. Olmsted of Le Roy, N. Y., is the owner of the trade-mark "Foot-Ease." Similar suits will be brought against others who are now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade­ mark and common law rights. Little Coal in Italy. Italy has almost no coal of its own. The industrial revival which in the past few years has developed many factories at Genoa and other places along the coast has been fed by an unceasing stream of coal shipments from England supplemented by con­ siderable supplies brought in by rail from Austria. Of course it is a great disadvantage to have to carry coal so far; and Italy is not helped out of her dilemma by water power, for, as most of her streams have a habit of drying up a part of the year, they can not be depended upon to keep the wheels of Industry turning.

INSIST ON GETTING IT. gome grocers say they don't keep De­ fiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands contain­ ing only 12 o«.

The Auditorium Stock Contest has been successfully launched after months of preparation, and is growing in popular favor as it becomes under­ stood. The Contest was started for the ben­ efit of the Auditorium, that the money yet required to complete the building in every detail may be quickly raised, and in a way that will he burdensome to no one. Every one likes to take a chance to win a fortune or a lesser amount, espe­ cially when the object to be benefitted is a worthy public enterprise, as is demonstrated daily by church and charity fairs and the numerous other meritorious enterprises. In this case it is to finish a beautiful place of en­ tertainment and recreation for the citizens of Omaha, South Omaha, Council Bluffs, and tributary territory, and when completed it will stand as an object lesson of the enterprise Of the builders--"The People." The "guessing" Contest as shown on the page advertisement of this issue is very simple in its operation and readily understood after reading the Rules printed therein. A ticket is sold for 25 cents, which le exchangeable for a share of Common Stock in the Audi­ torium Company. With this ticket goes two free guesses, one on the New York election, the other on a certain Special sum of money. The contract, or top portion of the ticket is retained by the purchaser and the premium ^coupon is filled out and sent in to the office of the Auditorium Company, room A, N. Y. Life Bldg. If a receipt for the Premium Coupon Is desired, an enclosure of a 2 cent stamp will pro- Cure it Those who may wish to par­ ticipate in the Special Prizes will be furnished with a Special ticket free with the purchase of a regular ticket This Special ticket must be made out In the same manner and address as is given on the reguar ticket, and must accompany same when sent in for filing, and have the same number as the regular ticket When these tickets properly made out are received at the Auditorium office, they are placed in metal boxes made for the purpose, in order of the estimates to await the time of the awarding of prizes, those on the elec­ tion, until November, and those on the Specials until the day following the 15th or last day of each month. To show the detail of the making up of a Special Prize, the first Special was made ready by Mr. Sam'l Rees, who will act for the printers. Mr. Rees had the amount of the prize made up in bills, gold, silver, nickles and cents, and placed same in a pro­ miscuous heap. From this pile he took the money without counting, placing a larger bulk in one sack than In the other. The sacks were then tied and sealed. In this manner Mr. Rees could not possibly tell what sum had been placed in either sack, nor even approximate it. The two sacks were then deposited with the cashier of the First National Bank of Omaha, and by him securely locked In the safety deposit vaults of the bank, and cannot be distributed until after the Contest Is closed at midnight of July 15th. Mr. Rees has made affidavit that he does not know the contents of either sack, and that he will not make a guess for the prize. The guessing will be on the amount contained in the larger of the two sacks. The person making the best guess gets the contents of both sacks, or the entire prize. Where two or more persons are tied on the prize, the money will be equally divided among them. These prizes will be paid as soon as the guesses can be as­ sorted and the money counted after the Contest closes, probably on the following day. Fifteen trade marks taken from 10- cent packages of Defiance Starch will be exchanged for an Auditorium Stock Ticket by the Defiance Starch Co., or The Omaha Auditorium Company when presented In person or by mail. This opportunity to get really val­ uable premiums Is rarely presented to the public. It presents a chance for every one. There is no limit as to the number of tickets purchased or ex­ changed for trade marks. No Wonder He Was Indignant A sailor who was arrested in Cam­ den, N.

The genuinely precocious child 1s very rare. Parents are seldom justi­ fied In attributing to their children powers which are transcendent The vanity of so doing would be harmless In Itself if it did not sow a crop of terrible mistakes in the treatment of the child which tends to its bodily and mental undoing. The signs of brain fag in a child, says Dr. Grace Peckham Murray, in the August De­ lineator, are easily read, and the warnings should be heeded at once. Parents should ever be watchful that the growth of the mind should not be made at the expense of the body, and the body at the expense of the mind. The child's mind is bound to be active about something; that is its normal condition. The mischief comes from overtaxing it with matters which are beyond its comprehension, or gorging It with impressions that at best the child can only partially com­ prehend. Guarding a Forest By Telephone. Fifty telephone stations distributed through the San Gabriel forest re­ serve in California will be used this summer for the special purpose of giving timely warning in case a fire breaks out anywhere in the woods. Twenty-five rangers will patrol the forest, and being armed with porta­ ble telephones, will be able, in an emergency, to cut in on the nearest wire without losing the time needed to reach a station. The irrigation and electric power companies that utilize the San Gabriel River have organized this method of protecting their water­ shed. Power of Artesian Weils.
