AS 1 was walking down the street A kitten small I chanced to meet, And with a shy, embarrassed purr She said, "I'm in deep trouble, sir, And as your power I do not doubt, I beg that you will help me out.” * My dear,” I said, "*I shall be pleased If by my aid your mind is eased, Command me! Gladly I'll obey.” * Well, sir, I just heard some one say That soon”—— And here a shudder came Which shook the furry little frame. “* There!" said 1; “*calm yourself, my dear.” ** That soon—the dog-days will be here. And oh, sir! if you could suggest Some place where I can quietly rest Until those dreadful days are o'er— Kind sir, I'll bless you evermore. Or"—as a new thought came to her— * Can you prevent their coming, sir? If so, I pray you lend your aid, Because of dogs I'm so afraid.” “ Kitten,” I said, ** no human force Can turn the dog-days from their course. But if you'll come and live with me, Down in my cottage by the sea, I promise you you'll never know When dog-days come or dog-days go.” “ Oh, thank you for this welcome word ! T'll come with pleasure, * But, Kitten,” said 1, “* wai ‘There's just one trouble—this is it : A home to you I'd gladly give, But down there some old sea-dogs live.”* “Oh, they,” she said, ‘won't worry me, For I'm a sea-puss, sir, you see.” CAROLYN WELLS. HOW YOU MUST BE SAVED. by GW Editor of the Ladses' Chrome Journal: Sir—Will you be kind enough to inform me as to the cultured way of being saved at afire? We expect to hold a small informal fire in our apartments next week, and I wish to act according to etiquette. Yours respectfully, REBECCA COHEN. New York City, September —th, 1901. HE. most elegant way of being saved at a fire, if the rescues among those mov- ing in very high society are criteria, is to be carried downa ladder by a fireman, Slid- ing down ropes, jumping into nets, o using the fire-escape, are shunned by those who are swagger, as ordinary, if not vulgar, prac- tices. The etiquette of the ladder method is very simple. You should be fully ready for the descent the moment the rescuer ar- rives, as firemen, like other men, dislike the lonesome wait while the ladies are making their toilettes.. The proper costume for an occasion like this is a walking-suit of gray ’, Wharton, . broadcloth trimmed with gold braid, with gloves and toque to match. Much jewelry is not good form, but you can wear diamond earrings without breach of propriety. When the fireman enters the room you should rise and ask him for his card, meanwhile intro- ducing yourself. Then take the bird-cage in one hand and the pug dog in the other, and allow yourself to be carried down gracefully. At the foot of the ladder your maid should be waiting and should relieve you of all bundles. After this you should thank your rescuer pleasantly. The dog and canary are almost absolutely essential, as the reporters will be able to write at least acolumn about them, even if the fire as a whole is not a successful one. If you can- not provide yourself with these articles, bring some other trifles—the rubber-plant or the bowl of gold-fish, which will do fairly well for the newspaper men and aid the fireman to a heroship and more pay. LITTLE SUPERSTITIONS OF GREAT MEN. By Barrington Kidd. T 1S said that Napoleon thought it ex- tremely unlucky to eat mushrooms and cheese just before retiring. ‘To such a pro- ceeding he attributed his dream of the con- quest of Russia—a vision which, as is well known, involved him in not a little trouble. It always afforded the keenest delight to the late William M. Tweed to hold at poker the ace of diamonds, the ace of hearts, the ace of clubs, and the ace of spades, in the order named. This combination, he de- clared, was in most cases an infallible sign of good luck. When Hall Caine becomes inspired during the composition of a novel he never cuts his hair until the work is completed. This superstition occasions much grief to the author's friends, but he is unable to overcome it. Daniel O'Connell could never be con- vinced that it did not augur misfortune to enter a room and to allow somebody else to close the door. Often, when residing in his dungeon cell, he would allude bit- terly to his lack of forethought in this respect. While sitting under an apple-tree, Isaac Newton was attacked by a theory which gave him great distress and increased his correspondence to thirty or forty letters per diem. He never again would sit under an apple-tree unless he had an umbrella. THE SEASHORE BED. E fiailed with vim the seashore bed ‘That lay upon the twinkling grass. Each time the flail came down he said ‘What would not do to print, alas! ‘The flail resounded thud on thud ‘As on the seashore bed it fell. The pounder's face shone as the bud ‘That reddens ‘neath Spring's magic spell. “Take that, my lord—take that and that !" He said as on he lammed, care-free, ‘The lumpy mass more flat and flat ‘That was as lumpy as the sea, * Oh, thus I scatter ball and hump Until the bed can't undulate, In knobs that fracture, carve and bump, And bruise and maim and dislocate. “ Fall soon, while naught my rapture dims ‘The sea of dreams as fine as silk Till skim e’en as the farmer skims The unskimmed matutinal milk. ** Thus soft and easy will I make The couch whereon I lay my head— E’en as they tender pound the steak T likewise pound the seaside bed.” R.A.
