Mammal mammal cried Johnnie,
"do you know where my cap is? 1 can't
find it anywhere, and papa wants me to
go to the postoffice for him right away"
Mamma was busy sewing, and she laid
down her work TO look for the missing
cap. As Johnnie said, it was nowhere to
be seen.
"Where did you put it when you came
from school not half an hour ago."
'On the hat-rack, 1 know, and now it
isn't anywhere. Oh, dear how provok-
ingp'
After fifteen minutes diligent search,
shared by all the members of the family,
the cap was found tucked away in the
owners coat pocket, and Johnnie ran off
to do his fathers errand, while the others

tried to make up for lost time

was missing "I think you will have to
stay at home; you certainly cannot wear
that coat as it is"
Sore as the disappointment was, John
ME was obliged to submit. For week
the very spirit of disorder seemed to rule
| the house. Every article was left where it
was last used, until the once tidy room
looked fairly cherries with the
| accommodating litter. There was one
exception. While Johnnie was constantly
called upon to look for Jennie's gloves, or
mammals scissors, or papa's umbrella, his
own cap was more frequently on the rack,
his skates on their hook, his slate and
books strapped together Finally after
an unusually trying experience, he ex-
claimed one day, Il never saw such a
house as this is getting to be. l seem to
be the only one that ever puts things
where they belong" The shout of laugh
ter that went up at this extraordinary
statement somewhat abashed the speaker,
but he sturdily maintained his point;
whereupon the others promised if he
would continue to set such good exam
pie they would certainly follow it. That
week taught Johnnie lesson he never
forgot.
