The two little girls that silo liked best to play with had gong away together to spend the entire afternoon, and there were no other little girls living near. Her nue then had a hendache, and was lying down and Mollie, the conk, was scrub- bing the kitchen floor—and eyes cross, besides—se there was really no one but a fat, buzzing bumble -bee for Kiltie to invite to her party. Tho bee looked so very much like the one that had slung her little inquisitive nose the day she poked it into hie hiding -place, In a great scarlet tulip, that she considered hlun far worse that no quest at all, and woe glad when he left the garden. "Oh, dear," said Kittle, who was edi- ting on tars doorstep. with a saucer of ripe blackberries, a slice of bread, and m cup of water beside her: "I do wish somebody would come in I There isn't a bit of fun In having a. tea-party all alone. Why 1 What's that?" Kittle's blue eyes got rounder, and for a moment she was almost as frightened as she was surprised, for such a strange visitor was conning in at the gate --and walking with slow, careful steps straight towards Kittle's saucer of blackberries. The visitor stopped about three feet away from Kittle, and, turning his black .head from side to side, looked at her as if he were wondering if it would be safe to get any closer. Kittle drop- ped a large blackberry on a stone near her feet. The visitor, still keeping a watchful eye on Kittle, hopped side- ways, stretched his neck as far as possible, made a sudden dive for the berry, and darted back to the gate. "I think you must be somebody's tame crow," said Kittle, holding out another berry. "It was very nice of you to come to any party. Come, this berry is for you. Don't be afraid." The visitor, still a little doubtful about Iris new friend, hopped slowly closer, snatched the berry from the little girl's lingers, and then jumped backwards out of Kittle's reach. Kittle wanted to laugh, because he was such a funny visitor, and had such queer tea-party manners; but she was a polite little one, and did not want to hurt his feel- ings. I -?e looked so wise that she was sure he would not like to be laughed at. Presently the crow made up his mind that Kittle was a safe person to visit, and he was soon standing quletly on (he step beside her, eating berries out of o little lox cover that Kittle gave him for a plate, He liked the bread and butter, too, and Kittle gave him the larger hall. When that was gone, he Iooked long- ingly at the cup of water. There was only one cup, and Kiltie did not quite see how she was to divide the water Into equal portions ; but the crow was not at all troubled about the matter. Without waiting to be invited, he hop- ped to the cup, drank all he wanted, and then—oh, I'in sure you cannot guess what he did then. He stood on one foot, and with the other carefully Upped the cup over sideways, and spilt .Ihe rest. of the water, so that Kittle had So move away to a drier spot. But that was not all he did. He picked that bright new tin cup right up by the handle and tried to fly away with It. He meant, without doubt, to take it home with him, but It was heavy. When ho reached the gate he changed his mind about !t; he glanced at I(ittie to see if she was looking, and then, quick as a flash, down he flew with the eup, and hid it behind a bushy red geranium in the bed near the gate. "Caw, caw 1'' he said, as he flew out of the gate and up over lino house- tops. "Caw 1 caw 1 caw 1" I s'pose you're saying 'Good-bye I I've had a nice time at your party,'" said Kittle; "but I think you're a pretty funny visitor to eat all the refresh- ments and then try to carry off the dishes. If little girls did that I don't believe folks would invite them very often ; but you're just a bird, and p'raps you wouldn't like my tea-party manners any better if I went to visit you. Anyway I'm ever so glad you eaune, and hope you will come again 1" GETTING RID OF PIRATES. flow a Band Was Quickly Disposed of in South China.

Lords and Ladies Participate in a Drama of Scenes From Ancient British. History. One of the great events of the social season in England this year was the great Pegeont at the city oI Warwick, Whet' , j11S outside the frowning, irumlh- ling walls of grand old \Varaee k there Was enacted for live days a drama caster, more comprehensive, more sig- nificant Ihun has ever before been at- tempted in Great Britain.

The scope and splendor of this great historical pageant -drama is a little loo great for the mind to gasp at once. 11 had its genesis in the pride of the Eng - lisle people in their unitary and civic traditions. Its realization was due to the zeal and energy not only of the people of War- wick. but of the neighboring shires, and to the organizing and executive ability o! Louis N. Parker, the playwright. With the aid of practically all the people of Central England ire carried the great, royal display to a glorious success. THE STAGE WAS AN OPEN PLAIN The stage of this vest outdoor display was a plain stretching back from the gardens of Warwick Castle. At one side flowed like a silver ribbon the his- toric River Avon. hiujestic elms, cop- per beeches and gnarled oaks bordered the other side of the great natural stage, while at the rear, stretching for miles across the soft green country, were the entrances and exits, almost lost to view in the blue haze that hung over the forests and hills. Close to the castle lad bee» erected a great grand stand, seating more than 0,000 people, and here, during tine week, 56,000 people, who had traveled from far and near, saw the imposing play. The actors, numbering more than 2,000, were drawn from 'Warwick, Strat- ford, Leamington, Banbury Cross, Ox- ford and other surrounding towns. The Earl and Countess of 'Warwick threw open their park for the festival. Both went from their place in Essex to entertain members of England's aris- tocracy who took part in the pageant. These were as active in sealing the suc- cess of the undertaking as were the great horde of the middle class who also ap- peared in its display. Lord Willoughby de Broke personated the French King, Louis XI. Lady Wil- loughby de Broke appeared as Queen Margaret, and many others of social prominence also took part, while the Mayors and Corporations of the various nearby towns impersonated their pre- decessors in the various tableaux. HOW THE COST WAS MET. The cost of the pageant is estimated at $250,000, all of which was defrayed by the people of the counties, although the receipts yleldel an unexpectedly handsome profit. For instance, Lord and Lady Willoughby de Broke con Whined, not only their own costumes cf their household, all of whom took part. The various towns paid for the cos- tuming of the children, who appeared in garments picturesquely representative of a sweep of centuries extending from A. D. 40 to A. D. 100.4. The President of the Pageant was the Earl of Warwick. Some of the vice- presidents were the Marquis oI Hertford, the Lord Mayors of Birmingham anti Oxford, Lord Willoughby de Broke, Lord Leigh, Lord Brooke, Sir Francis E. Waller, Sir E. Montague Nelson and the Mayor of Warwick. the Hon Thom- as Kemp, nearly all of whom pe'sonnt- ed characters. These evil] show thesocial patronage of the undertaking. GLTTEUUING CAVALCADES. Lel one imagine himself note in the great semi -circular grand stand, over- looking the vast, forest -bordered stage on which the pageant was spread out.

The natural ampitheatre in which it was set was graced at one end by the ruins of a stately castle that added mutt to the general effectiveness of the pictures. i3ut it could not sur- pass the grassy expanse of the present pageant in the grounds of Warwick Castle, with its mngniflcent stretchesof landscape and lice softening shadows cf Avan, an whose banks deer welched the proceedings with timid curiosity. Next year another pageant will be held at Btsry St. Edmunds, and on the year following all three will be combined at Windsor under the patronage and to honor of King Edward. • CIIILDIIOOD DANGERS.

The following is part of an article written by Alexander Dallas in "Busi- ness and Finance," a most reliable New York financial journal IL gives Some idea of what the people of the United Slates think of the Canadian Cobalt country "Tho ores of Cobalt are justly claim- ed to be the richest in the world and consists mainly of Silver and Cobalt, with arsenic, nickel and, occasionally, gold. Think of shipping 100 car loads cf ore averaging over $300,000 per car, and all this ore taken from a depth of not over 50 feet) Selected car lots have gone as high as $60,000 to $129,000 per eat and the average ore runs from 91,- 000 1;000 to 98,000 per ton. Geologists, ex- perts and mining men generally were loath to accept Cobalt as a permanency, but to -day 110 class of men are more enthusiastic, for it is now proven that the deeper the shafts are sunk, the Holley the ore becomes." Captain Ilarris, a man of world wide experience as a mining engineer, says: "if you had asked me what I thought of Cobalt a year ago, I would have told you that it was altogether beyond pre- cedent that such enormously rich values as we finch here at Cobalt could last to any depth. To -day every indica- tion from the entire section points to the strong probability of generally in- creasing values in depth throughout the field. I came here very much of a pes- simist, but to -day I am an optimist— made 'so by close observation of actual oonditions. Cobalt will last for yea's and shake many fortunes." Up to the present tole, all the proven properties are located in Coleman Township, and, though Ilhe work has been carried on in the crudest way, many millions of, ore have already been shipped and largo dividends have been paid, In some cases as high ee 200 per cent. To aha investor, the Co - hall, Mining Camp should prove earth cularly interesting for, so far, no mine hes been sunk to a depth of 30 feet without finding shipping ore, and the Mining Laws of Ontario are so strict that no "wildcat' schemes can flourish there.
