He Wanted No Pay.

he was so small and frail the chilly
March wind seemed to blow him about
like q Wisp of paper. His pinched
face was blue with cold where the dirt
allowed the skin to be seen. and his
hands were pushed far down into two
holes. which he doubtless called pock-
cts, in his trousers. Little streamers
of rags blew out from his tattered
clothes, giving him a fringed appear
ance, and as he drifted uncertainty
along he occasionally raised shrili,
babyish voice in an attempt to sell a
soiled paper which he held under his
arm.
Presently he met a sweet-faced,
notherly woman, and holding out his
crumpled stock he said:
"Buy a paper, ma'am?"
The old lady looked at him. She saw
in the pathetic little figure that which
called up memories of time long ago
when babies filed her home with life
and childish prattle. She thought of
their happy freedom from care. and
compared their comforts and ease with
the wretchedness of the waif before
her. She did not want the miserable,
dirty paper, but her heart softened.
''Yes. DEAR" she said.
The unheard-of tone and words of
the reply astcnished the child for an
instant, so that his mouth dropped
open and he stood as though dazed.
Then, with broad grin Of delight
breaking the crust of his face into
ridges and burrows, lie impulsively
held out his entire stock in trade, and
said eagerly:
Here It's, ma'am. Idon't want no
pay. y.'-Indianapolis Ncws.

Send in Your Name.

Sir Philip Miller, the great English
horticulturist, writing in 1740, says;
't'The best method to have Cabbages
good is to procure fresh seed from
abroad every year, for it is apt to de
generate in England in few years"
The above is a simple illustration OF
the fact that the best seed will rapidly
degenerate under unfavorable conditions.
The wise will take heed, therefore,
and buy their seeds OF D. NJ. Ferry & Co.,
Detroit, Michigan, whose world wide
reputa ton as the best and most reliable,
as well as the most extensive seed
growers and dealers, is due to the fact
that they take advantage OF every
circumstance OF climate, soil, methods
OF culture, selection OF seed-plants, etc.
to procure the best possible seeds ant
keep them up to that high standard.
