The Story L told Jakey.

He was six years old, and his name
was Jakey. | took him upon my knee,
and asked him if he would like to hear
the story of the flood, and he said he
would.
well, Jakey, once there was man
named Noah, who
Noah what?'
Simply Noah. He had no last name.
1Iow did they find him in the direc.
tory, Them?
There were no directories. Noah
lived Il great many years ago, and
Didn't he live before the Centennial
did he:'
yes thousand years before?'
Did he wear pants:
Il don't know. He lived in coun-
tay where
Somewhere in Indiana, wasn't it:
In Asia Minor, where everybody was
very wicked, excepting Noah and his
three sons
Were they all boys?'
Yes, and-'
Gould they whistle on their fingers "
Had Noah knew there was going to
be flood.
In Rancocas Greek p
NO, III tell you directly if you'll
wait
Did it sweep away the milldam"
And 80 Noah and his sons went to
work to build a huge boat, whlch-
"A steamboat:'
No. of course not. Which they call.
ed in ark
What did they call it that for?
and while they were building it
numbers Of people came to see them,
IepOrterS, were IneY
And laughed at them for supposing
there would be food
Did you say it wasn't in the Eanco-
cas?'
But they went on building the boat,
without minding the people, SO that
Had she ub-boom ?
oh, l don't know. And SO one day
it began to rain, very hard.
Il know what you re going to say -
Noah left his umbrella at home
oh, pshaw. They had no umbrel.
las in those days.
No gum shoes eithcr?'
And it ralned, and rained, and rain
ed, until-
What ralned 2
so that the water began to cover the
whole surface of the ground
why didn't it run into the sewers"
so Noah and his family went 1t to
the ark, and took all kinds of animals
with them, and--'
Not spiders? ?
Yes, spiders.
And eels, too
Yes, and
But not potato bugs?'
i guess So
And pelcans?
oh, yes, everything
What did he take in bedbugs for ?
oh, hush You ask too many ques-
tons
Did the billygoat butt Noah's boy's?'
$50 when they were all in, Noah shut
the door, and the ark foated.
WAS the whale towed behind p
Where did he keep the tadpoles p
And it rained harder and harder all
the time
WAS there a Mrs. Noah
OF course
well, how did she dry her washing
when it rained ?
And so the ark sailed along upon the
water many days
Did they row it?'
NO.
'What did Noah and the boys do?'
Nothing, that I know Of
Maybe they fshed off the side of the
boat
Very likely they did
What did they fish for ?
TO catch fish, Of course
Did they get any

You really think they caught some ?
oh, certainly. And ] think it's not

Tic Origin Of nTnrncnnt..

1t is said that the opprobrious epithet
turncoat, took its rise from one OF the
first Dukes of Savoy, whose dominions
were open to the contending powers of
both Spain and France. Being subject
ed to frequent incursions of the rival
powers, he was obliged to temporize and
favor the powers alternately, as they
seemed to be able or not to injure him.
In order to carry out this arrangement
to perfection, he had coat made that
was blue on one side and white on the
other, SO that it could be worn indifer-
emily with either side out When he
was ostensibly on the side Of Spain he
wore the blue side out; when the
French were to be propitiated, he dis
played the white side. He therefore be-
came widely known as Emmanuel, the
Turncoat, and was thus distinguished
from other princes of his house bearing
the same name. Since the time of
Emmanuel the epithet has been applied
to those who turn their opinions TO suit
the occasion or their own personal inter
ests.-St. Louis Republic.

A BEAUTIFUL WORLD.
1t Has Its Compensation for the Afflicted

1t Has Its Compensation for the Afflicted
as Well as the Strong.
News came that baby had been born
in the Nelson household, dear little
girl, with blue eyes, but alas! with a
mishapen foot which would cause her
to limp all her life. When grandma read
the message, she went to her own room
without word, and the young aunts
busted themselves with their work,
looking suspiciously moist about the
eyes, That night, however, Edith Lee
came limping in with her two crutches,
and was told all about it, because she
was the dear family friend and knew all
the home secrets.
"And you feel dreadfully about it,
don't you?" asked she, patting one of
grandma's withered hands.
Eyes, my dear, we do; how could we
help it?"
"She will suffer SOP at will be so
hard for her when she grows upp' said
the aunts mournfully.
"Now, my dears, just listen to me-"
said cheerful Edith. "She will be sorry,
and sometimes mortified when she re-
members she's not like other people,
but she will have great many compen-
sations.
"Look at me! I've stumped through
life on helpless limbs, and the conse-
quence is that trust the world and love
it. Other people get blue, and say they
can't believe in people. | receive SO
much kindness every day know that
the world is full of warm, loving hearts.
When I make journey, l find the
merest strangers willing to carry my
bundles, check my baggage, help me
into cars and give me the best places.
1--WE heard some of you complain Of
the railway men who have no hesitation
in running you down with baggage
truck. Those same men push the truck
up to me, and ask If won't get on and
ride to the car or carriage Transfers
pull up their horses TO let me cross the
street. Walters in hotels give me a
seat near the door, so that need not
walk further than is absolutely neces-
sary, and in the summer, when we are
in the country, not a farmer passes me
without begging me to ride.
Now all this is because l am lame.
The very sight of my misfortune APP
peals to every heart, and the conse-
| quence is that, as / have told you, be-
lieve in the world and the warmth of its
sympathies. That baby will have the
same experience. The wind will be
tempered to her in precisely the same
way. and when she is thirty, as / am,
she will say: why, it's beautiful
worldN"
"Bless you, dear" said grandma,
warmly, II shouldn't wonder mite il
she did"
And they were comforted, remember.
