BOB WHITE'S MESSAGE. A ratidow wind, and a bar of tone "O Bob White! O Bob Whiter The mom has tangled the breezy call la the floating fringe of her rapor-shnwl. And taM1lltiK corn-tips wave It along "O Bob White-Bob White!" Blowing white clover Is In the sound "O Bob White! O Bob White!" Rnatch of wild locust In dim wood-way. Hint of the earltent haying days When honey-blobs grow ruddy and round "O Bob White-Bob White!" Yellow .Tune apples are turning ripe "O Bob White! O Bob White!" There's n atlle half-lost in a rosc-vlne's hold, And a mos-Ilpped spring that Is deep and cold. You know It all when you hear the . pipe "O Bob White-Bob White!" A minted refrain In the autumn chill "O Bob White! O Bob White!" But (Iron ins will lurk in the frosty fell. And echoes ring like a silver bell. When Winter tiptoes over the hill "O Bob White Bob While!" Youth's Companion. a a I TED'S R0SE. I o a a a ooooooaooaooeeooaoooaooooa BT wns Ted's birthday; he was dressed lu his best for the after noon's outing In the park, and be was very particular not to soil his new Mioes nt the crossing, so be kept a look out for dry spots, until some one called to him: "Hello, Teddy!" said a friendly voice from the florist's window. "You look very flue this morning." "It's my blrthdn-, and I'm seven years old today," Ted answered proudly. "Well, well, you're quite a man, sure enough!" Mr. Bnrke laughed. "Walt a moment. Ted; I have Just the thing you want." He came out presently with three long-stemmed yellow tea roses, their cups of gold fairly brim ming with delicious fragrance. "Been training them for this very oc casion," he explained cheerily, "nnd they opened Just In time. They'll keep a long while If you're real careful." Ted was Inordlnntely fond of flowers yellow tea-roses by preference he had them on birthdays, holidays, and as often between limes as his uianimn could nfford; but there bad been no roses of late; thlnge bad gone woefully wrong at the otiice, and Ted had to be contented with looking nt the plnnts In the florists' windows. He thanked Mr. Burke, and walked away with the roses held protectlugly out of range of 1iurrylug passers-by; nnd It was hard to say which was the lovelier, the roses or the cherub face above them. The crowd blocked his progress at the street corner, and while he wnlted he beard a mau say, lu.a low, distinct voice: "Youder's that miser, Northcut, the (poorest man In New York." "And the most unhappy," said. his companion. Ted had the curiosity to run ahead 10 look at the most uuhnppy man in iNew York. He was very tall and thin sind sick-looking. Ted wondered how jhe came to be so well dressed, for even 1o his unpractlced eye he presented n good appearance. Somebody must have given him his old clothes, of course, just as papa always gave his clothes to loor people. Ted watched him with tiympathetlc Interest, nnd even follow ed hi in to the door of a near-by restau rant, where he took a seat at a side Itnuie, nna xeu eouiu see his race very plainly. Yes, he certainly did look very unhappy, nnd no one seemed to care About him lu the least; be would Just Ilp In and give him a rose that would please him. Ted picked out the largest and hand somest rose and carried It carefully up It he fast-lilllug aisle between the tables nnd laid It on the table before the poor est, unhapplest mau In New York, jstartcd, turned round, and eyed the lllttle donor sharply.. "Hello, who nro you?" be asked very brusquely. "I'm Ted Wlnterburn," came the surprised answer. The old man's lips raojed and he seemed about to ask another question. He knew Ted's father very well In leed; he had him lu a "corner," where lio Intended to keep him till bis Inst dollar was gone. The thought of that triumph gave him a great deal of satis faction when he remembered certain ufiuns of the past In which- Winter burn bad defeated his Interests. "Hum!" he muttered. "Hoses in tnfd wlntei! Such extravagance! He de serves his bud luck. I don't think you'd better give these away," he said aloud; "tuey didn't belong to you." " by, yes. they does!" Ted answer ed ludignuutly. "Mr. Burke glved them to me for my birthday." "Oh, ho did? Well, that's different." He took the long-stemmed rose In his thin hand and sniffed at It gingerly. "Much obliged, I'm sure," he said, on secoud thought. Ted looked over the meager fare pityingly. If there was anything In the world he disliked It was cambric ten nnd dry toast, such as ho saw lying n the poor man's plate. Ho could not I. now that his friend's Jaded appetite ionised to take anything but the mer est necessities. He sipped the cambric ten In silence until tho waiter brought Ted a glass of milk on a silver salver. "Talso It," said tho man authorita tively, and Ted found that bo was really very thirsty. "Now," said the poor man, when Ted put down tho empty glass, "I'd llko to know why you gavo me that rose." "Because I feel sorry for you," came the slow and truthful answer. "Sorry? And why?" he demanded. "Because you'a the very poorest and sorriest man In New York." "The poorest man In New York!" ho echoed, grimly. "Who told you that?" "I dou't know his name. Twas a mnn on the street, and he tolled an other mnu that." "Oh!" with a queer, mirthless smile. "And you feel sorry for n poor, friend less stranger?" "Yes, I does," sW Ted, very gravely and sweetly. There was a little embarrassed pause, during which the keen, hollow eyes looked Into Tod's Kautlful face as though searching for something, which they must have found presently, for the dark, o'd face relaxed luto a smile. which utterly contradicted the cruel lines about the thin lips. "I thank you very much for the rose. my little friend." he said, "but most of nil for the sweet thought that prompt ed your kindness. It's many a kug day since I've bad such a precious gift," he added, with a queer break In his voice. He took from his pocket a memoran dum and scribbled a few words across the face of a printed note. "Ask your father to read that to you , as soon as you go home." he said. "Don't lose It; It's your birthday pres ent from the poorest man In New York." It was lunch time when Ted reached home. Papa snt at the table stirring his tea absently and looking over a long row of figures In the Intest paper. "Gerry, do try to eat something." said mamma, anxiously, from her place at the head of the table. Ted went over and laid the crumpled paper beside his plate, and his father leaned over and glanced at It unsee- Ingly; but IU content caught and rlv-1 eted his Instaut attention. "To Gerald W. Wlnterburn, to hold In trust for his son Ted, 73 shares of the Union Traction stocks, being the full value of the original cash deposit of said Gerald W. Wlnterburn in the company's securities.
