Tearful Beginning of a Summer Trip Which All Three Took. ‘There was Polly and Jack, and then there was Flufty. Now, Fluffy was one of those diminutive poodles whose long, black hair is a constant source of delight to the chil- dren and of discomfort for the dog. At least {t was so with Fluffy, for Polly and Jack used to take fiendish delight In tylng his locks into strange and wonderful plaits adorned with ribbons of all sorts and descriptions. At those times Fluffy would protest vigorously and bark most piteously, but {t was of no avail against the combined efforts of the childreh, who really believed that they were merely making their pet, as Polly expressed it, “more | boo’ ful." Sometimes I used to think that ft was merely a clever subterfuge on the part of the dog, for after he was decked out in his brave array he would stop whining and le down ibly, with his stumpy tail wagging In the happlest imaginable. If, howeve ffy used to protest against in which he was beribboned, It was as nothing pared to the day that Polly and Jack were taken with thelr hurse for a visit In the country. That was because, mme- dla y upon the ne that they were to leave town, the at once arose as to the disposition of Fluffy. he children's father thought that Fluffy should remain at home and keep him company in the big apartment up: town, but to that the children refused to lsten. Then their father suggested that the poodle should be placed In care of the baggage man on the train on which they were to depart, This suggestion was greeted with a howl of protest from ¥ nn the manner when com- Clasp your hands behind you and turm your wrists outward as far as possible This will be found a beneficial exerci for those who have round shoulders, Jack and a veritable deluge of tears from Polly, and was at = once abandoned. Their father gave up in despair, and thelr nurse, while soothing the children's tears, offered no feasible DRY WATER. plan, and it-seemed that Fluffy was doomed to remain behind until Jack, who had ceased his howls and was thinking hard, suddenly came forward with the following p "Des leave everything to me and Polly, and we'll take doggie along wiv us,” As there wasn't anything else to do thelr father it a cigar and went into the Mbrary to write a letter to his wife about the hard, hard time that he was having in town and how he wouldn't be able to stand it with the children away too. The next day the children and their nurse were taken to the station, and under Jack's arm was the most curtous sort of a@ package imaginable. 1t was made out of some soft cloth and had an opening at the top which had been pulled tght by means of two strong pleces of twine, But that was not so curious as the way in which the packa moved about, It was full of lumps and moving bumps, and every once in a while a sad, far-dlstant yelp would sound from {ts depths which would Instantly strike terror into the hearts of Polly and Jack; for if the truth muat be told, Inside the bag was Fluffy, and a very wideawake and protesting Fluffy at that, Every thing went well unti! the uptown station was reached and they had passed through it on the way to the train, Victory seemed in the children's grasp, when suddenly a mournful how! was heard from the depths of the bag, and to Ja@k's horror and the gruff amusement of the tcket- puncher, the tall of the incarcerated Fluffy was seen pro- truding from the opening of the bag. Without a word and despite the frantic efforts of Jack to hold fast, the ticket-chopper selzed the bag and, opening it with a deft motion, pulled out Fluffy, who greeted him with joyful licks of appreciation, 44 A ring or coin is thrown Into a basi filled with water; the performer a: nounves that he will take Jt out of th water without wetting his hand, Solution: Get a few cents’ worth lycopodium powder and strew it aver ¢ surface of the water ne hand wh boing Immersed will have to go thro the layer of powder, The powder olin ing to the hand forms a sort of wate ght cover.
