The 0ucer Country Which Georgic Wis.,
tied, Where No Ono Could Remember
ANY thing.
Georgia meant to be a good boy, but
he very seldom did any thing that he
was told to do. He nearly always for
got it. Once. when his sister May was
very sick, he was sent after some medi-
cine for her. SO he started in great
hurry; but he met Fred Smith with his
dog. and Fred coaxed him to go and
coast 'iust once down the long Red
Hill. Then he forgot all about May and
the medicine until it was quite dark,
and he felt SO sorry and ashamed that
he ran home and crept up the back
stairway to he'd, hungry and lonely
and cold.
By and by he fell asleep, and when he
awoke he was in u new and strange
place. He found himself in house
which was only partially covered by n
roof, and the rain came in through the
uncovered part and dropped upon his
bed. Georgia sat up and looked around
him. There was n fire place in the
room, besides some wood and kind
lings, which the poor, shiverng
little fellow eyed very wistfully,
th hiking that some ono m ght
perhaps light a fire. 1t was very chilly.
and his teeth chattered. There was
wee old woman sitting in the chimney
corner, and George spoke to her.
''What is it that you want, JimmieP'
she said.
"Will you please tell me what your
name is, and where l amp" he asked.
my name me-wcll, really, forget it
Just now," she replied, "but you are in
land of short memories-that am
aware OFF,
.But what shall call You?" asked
George.
"Oh, call me Mite! That will do as
well as any other name till you forget
it. Henry"
'.My name is George"

it. Tom you said it was. didn't youp"

getting cross with the old lady, for he
thought she meant to tease him.
There, there! cried Mite; ''the doc
tors said that you must not get excited,
or else that you must, l forget which.

Yes, should like to have some

"While she was bustling around, busy
with the Cruel, George lay quite still.

for it had ceased raining.
"Why don't you have the roof cover
the whole of your house?" asked George
of the old lady.
''Thc rest of the roof is somewhere
around" said she. al guess the work
men forgot to put it on. Now, here is
your nee cruel all ready for YOU"
"Why, it is cold!' exclaimed the dis
appointed George, who was quite hum
cry.
'.Surc enough; l forgot to boil it'll"
said the old lady.
'And 1 don't see any thing in the
bowl but water!'
"Dear me! Dear me!' said Mite II
