when Deacon Day popped his CHEEKY

Perhaps he saw they needed some
thing to wake them up, so when the
class were through with the lesson, he
gave them this problem:--
III eighteen COWS were going through

The story ofaLIttIo oIri.

A while ago little girl was lost IN
New York, and 70 the editors Of a
great paper came nm appeal for help
in finding her.
Wen get up n picture to show
everybody how she looks" said tho
editor, who has a soft spot in his
heart for lost children. So reporter
was sent out, but presently returned
to report that he could get no photo.
graph OF the girl, but TINT size was
small OF her age, always stood with
her feet close together, had blue eyes,
and wore Nelly bly, peaked cap.
Now get up q nice picture said
the editor, and the artist was puzzled,
as well he might be, for the facts that
the girl had blue eyes and was small
Of her age were OF no use in a black
and white drawing, and he had only
the feet and the cap TO work upon.
However, he did the best he could and
drew picture OF a real nice little girl.
The resemblance was remarkable.
Everybody said so. The mother OF
the little girl came in to thank the ar
tist and the editor, with tears in her
eyes, after the girl had been found,
and modern journalism entered an.
other splendid triumph on its notched
stick.
