Harpcr's Young Peoples Bad Boy.

There is one good thing about Sue,
if she is girl she is real charitable,
and is all the time getting people to
give money to missionaries and things.
She collected mornahundred dollars
from ever so many people last year,
and sent it to a society, and her name
was in all the papers as "Miss Susan
Brown" the young lady that gave a
hundred dollars to a noble cause and
may others 90 and do likewise.
About a month ago she began to
get up concert for noble object. |
forgot what the object was, for Sue
didn't make up her mind about it until
day or two before the concert; but
whatever it was, it didn't get much
money.
Sue was to sing in the concert, and
Mr.. Travers was to sing, and father
was to read something, and the Sun
day school was to sing, and the brass
band was to play lots of things. Mr..
Travers was real good about it, and
attended to engaging the brass band,
and getting the tickets printed.
We've got first-rate band. You
just ought to hear it once. I'm going
to join it some day, and play on the
drum; that is, if they don't find out
about the mistake l made with the
music.
When Mr.. Travers went to see the
leader of the band to settle what
music was to be played at the concert
he let me 60 with him. The man was
awfully polite, and he showed Mr..
Travers great stacks of music for him
to select from. After a while he pro-
posed to 60 and sec man somewhere
who played in the band, and they left
me to wait until they came back.
l had nothing to do, so looked at
