Dear Children-I am home again after a
xloararat Ii, tho country.

pleasant month spent in the country. !
met a great many nice boys and girls, some
of them belonging to our little band.
l have always thought l would rather
possess the faculty of giving happiness to
children than anything else in the WORLD
you may strive to make grown people
happy, and even if you succeed, they soon
forget your efforts and do not appreciate
them; but a little child is always grateful
and shows SO much pleasure when you
give them happiness. l thought OF THIS
while | was from home Oh seeing a dear
little boy and girl come every Monday
morning to hear lady read Uncle Ike
muss" story TO them. 1t was with perfect
delight they would take their seats and
listen attentvely to every word. L won
1ered if Mr. Harris ever realized how
much happiness he brings to the hearts OF
hundreds of little children. i wish L could
be in his place in that regard. 1t is better
than all the reputation and honor he re-
ceiyes-the power of giving pleasure to the
young. | trust his reward will be great in
this world and the next. | had letter
from a mother the other day, III which she
enclosed me a composition written by son
of hers when he was only nine years old.
1t is so cute that l want you to read it. 1

her son is now occupying a position in The
Constitution office that only a good speller
could get. Now you see there always has

will accomplish great deal before you get
big Remember the old saying-'Tall oaks
from little acorns grow" Here is the COM
position. The subject is:
The Cow.
