Monday morning came. A little boy
stood knocking at Mrs. Morse's kitchen
door. Stella opened it. Mamma can t
wash to-day, Patty's tux worse, - he said
quickly, and then scampered away.
Oh, what a shame that l haven't
dressed that doll - Stella said mentally.
Il certainly meant to, but there were so
many things to take up my attention
that L kept putting it off. I'll dress it
this very day"
Tuesday morning Stella, with the
beautiful, t,stefully dressed doll in her
arms, and little bag of oranges also
started for Mrs Sticht's. In answer to
her rap, Mrs. Sticht opened the door.
Her eyes were heavy with weeping and
her face had grown more aged.
How is little Patty this morning,
Mrs. Sticht? I've brought her the doll.
Can see her ?" were Stella's rapid ques-
tons.
Yes, Miss Stella, you can see her.
Walk in, please. -
There was anguish and reproof in the
mothers tone; Stella stepped inside the
poorly furnished room the mother led
the way to one corner, and pointed to a
little whlte-draped cot.
The terrible truth dawned upon Stella.
She had come too late. Patty was dead
She burst into tears as the sobbing, brok-
en-hearted mother uncovered the little
still face. Through her tears Stella
could see how beautiful Patty was, with
her golden hair brushed back from pref
ty forehead, and her dear little hands
clasped over her still bosom.
And did you tell her 1 would bring
the doll? Did she look for ?" Stella
moaned, her remorseful tears rolling
down her cheeks like rain.
"' Look for It'll Yes, Miss, Stella, she
looked for it day and night" Mrs Sticht
answered huskily. "She was very light
headed toward the last she talked OF
nothin' else. Just before she died her
reason returned She sat up in bed, an
put her arms around my neck an said,
Good-by. mamma I'm goin to heaven.
l cried aloud, but Patty smoothed my
cheek, and said, Don't cry, mamma,
you'll come by and by, an III be waitin
and lovin my blue-eyed dolly, cause I
know Jesus will give me one, cause
there's no tears in heaven '"--ERNEsT

Children, and Horses

American boys are quite as brave and
active as any in the world, and learned
travellers tell us they know more than
any boys yet discovered in the solar sys-
TEN. Likewise, the American girl is
sweet and good and true-as bright as
any girl in Europe. For all this Amer
can boys and girls do not, as rule, ride
horseback. It's true, some country boys,
east and west, ride fearlessly and well,
but the majority of boy and girl riders
have climbed, by the aid of rail-fence,
on the back of farm horse, and when
they were mounted the horse either
laughed in his name or ingloriously
tumbled the rider over his head. 1t is
very strange that in such land of horses
so few boys and girl know how to ride
1t is a mistake to think that, when Dob
bin has been brought to the fence and
you have climbed on his back, this is rid
ing Not even the most uncommonly
bright girl or the most learned boy can
ride without instruction. One has to
learn this art, Just as one must learn to
play the piano or to mount bicycle.
Let US consider the horse, see what he
Is like, and then, perhaps, we may learn
WAdG III meduS W Ilue. n uOTSe lS al
animal with large brain, and, though
he seldom speaks, you may be sure he
thinks and has mind of his own. Be-
sides this, he has four legs. These are
important things to remember-he stands
on four legs and can think for himself
He also has ears, and, though he is not
given to conversation, he hears and I'M
derstands much that is said to him. He
also has temper-good or bad-and
may be cross and ill-natured, or sweet
tempered, cheerful, patient, and kind In
approaching such clever creature, it is
clear boy or girl must be equally pa
tient, kind, cheerful, and good-natured.
Unless you are as good as horse, you
have no right to get upon his back.
Of course, there are bad horses, but
they are not fit for riding, and are used
only to drag horse-cars or do other COM
mon work. All riding horses fit for the
society of boys and girls are good horses,
not merely for walking OF, galloping, but
morally od-gentle, kind, patient, care
full, and obedient. Any boy or girl,
over seven years of age, with a brave
heart and steady hand, and also sweet
tempered, gentle, kind, and thoughtful,
can learn to ride. All others must sit
in box on wheels and be dragged
about.-F%one " Learning to Ride," By
Charles Barnard, IN ST. Nicholas for
October.

There is eomething Good in this
World After All.

A boy ten years old was pulling
heavy car loaded with pieces of boards
Tired and exhausted, he halted under
shade tree. His feet were bruised and
sore; his clothes in rags his face pinch
ed and looking years older than it should
What must be the thoughts of such
child as he looks out upon the world and
sees the fine houses, the rich dresses, the
rolling carriages; the happy faces of
those who have never known what il is
to be poor. Does it harden the heart
and make it wicked? Or does it bring
feeling of loneliness and wretchedness-
a wondering if the rich mans heaven is
not so far off from the poor man s heaven
that he will never catch sight of their
pinched faces?
The boy lay down on the grass, and
in FIVE minutes was sound asleep. His
bare feet Just touched the curbstone, and
the old hat fell from his head and rolled
to the walk. In the shadow Of the tree
his face told story that every passer-by
could read. 1t told of scanty food, OF
nights when the body shivered with cold,
of home without sunshine, of young
life confronted by hooking shadows.
Then something curious happened: A
laboring man, queer old man with
wood-saw on his arm, crossed the street
to rest beneath the same shade He
glanced at the boy and turned away
but his look was drawn again, and now
he saw the picture and read the story.
He, too, was poor. He, too, knew what
it was to shiver and hunger. He tiptoed
along until he could bend over the boy,
and then he took from his pocket a piece
of bread and meat, the dinner he was to
eat if he found work, and laid it down
beside the lad Then he walked care
fully away, looking back every moment,
but fastening out of sight as if he wanted
to escape thanks. Men, women and
children had seen it all and what lever
it was The human heart is ever kind
and generous but sometimes there is
need Of key to open it. A man walked
down from his steps and left half dollar
beside the poor mans bread. A woman
walked down, and left good hat in
place of the old one. A child came with
pair of shoes and boy brought coat
and vest. Pedestrians halted and whis-
pered and dropped dimes and quarters
beside the first silver piece.
Something curious had happened The
charity Of poor old man had unlocked
the hearts of score ofpeople. Then some
thing strange occurred. The pinched
face suddenly awoke, and sprang up as
if it were crime to sleep there He saw
the bread-the clothing-the money
the score Of people waiting around to see
what he would do. He knew that he
bad slept, and he had realized that all
these things had come to him as he
dreamed. Then what did he do? Why,
he sat down ard sobbed like grieved
child They had read him sermon
greater than all the sermons Of the
churches They had set his heart to
swelling and jumping until it choked him.
Poor, gged and wretched, and feeling
that he was no more to the world than a
stick or a stone-he had awakened to
find that the world regarded him as a
human being worthy Of aid and entitled
to pity.-M quad.

MALARIA

Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fire.
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there Is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow of his former self.
Malaria once having laid its
hold upon the human frame, the
door Of the system is thrown open
to nervous diseases The body
weak and enfeebled absorbs no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions
the liver becomes torpid. and other
organs failing to do their routine
work, speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
to ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
Browns IRON BITTERs is highly
recommended for all diseases requir-
ing certain and efficient tonic; es-
