while playing in Georgia town, realizr
ing that necessity was the mother of in
vention, hit upon new device for escap-
ing their board bill. One morning the
whole town was stirred to its very center
by the news that one of the members of
the company was missing. Parties, in
Guiding the father and sister of the stolen
girl, started in hot pursuit, and the impe-
cunious actors forgot to return. Then 1t
was discovered that in their haste they
burned the grief of the towpspeople into
astonishment which changed to wrath
when it was learned that the family was
happily reunited in neighboriny state.

To go sailing far away

To the fairy land afar,

And the rain pools are the seas,
And the leaves, like little ships,
Sail about ON tiny trips;
And above the daisy tree.

And the ants 20 marching by
Carrying par, els with their feet

Where the laybird ALT,

And on high
See the greater swallows pass
In the sky,
And the round sun rolling by
Needing no such things AS |.
Through that forest can pass
Till, as in a looking glass,
Humming fly and daisy tree
And my tiny self see.
Painted very clear and neat
On the rain-p pool at my feet.
Should u leatiet come to hand
Drifting near To where stand,
Straight III board that tiny boat
Round the rain-pool sea to float.
Little thoughtful creatures sit
On the grassy coasts Of it;
Little things with lovely eyes
See mo sailing with surprise,
Some are clad in armor green
(fhese have sure to battle been)-
Some are pied with every hue,
Black and crimson, gold and blue:
Some have wings and swift are gone.
But they all look kindly on,
When my eyes once again
Open and see all things plain;
High, bare walls, great bare floor;
Great big knobs on drawer and door:
Great big people perched on chairs,
Stitching tucks and mending tears,
Each II hill that could climb
And talking nonsense all the time

That / could be
A sailor on the rain-pool sea,
A climber in the clover tree,
And just come back, a sleepy head,
Late at night to go to bed.

four nor more than sixteen lines Of
poetry.
One morning Miss Blank got up and
recited from beginning to end, and with
much expression, Hoods Bridge OF

"That was very well done. Miss Blank,
