The Little Daughter Goes to Sleep.

DShe sat limp and disconsolate in her lit
tie rocker Her dreaded nemesis was close
upon her. She had said Now lay me,''
and had kissed the whole family ''nightie''
half dozen times, and now there was
nothing left in the world to do but to have
to go to bed. A brilliant idea struck her;
she would kiss the family the seventh time.
She had to tiptoe to reach papa, but as this
resulted in sideways kiss not at all salts
factory to her ladyship, she climbed up on
one round 10 get a better one, and then
she had to get on his lap so she could hug
HIM tight.
"You sweet old boyl'
Papa puts down his paper and looks rosy
and smiling. Her arms are around his neck,
and she looks straight into his eyes and
says, with many nod:
Papa, you rock me and les play

Papa argues with her She is too big to
be rocked to sleep; nice little ladies go
right to bed and don't say word. This
has no effect, so he strikes compromise.
"Well, We'll play church little while;
then you tell me when you are sleepy and
I'll put you in bed.'

Papa's voice was soft and low, but her
voice rang out clear through one entire
verse. She wavered through two lines of
the next verse, but yawn enveloped the
third, and papa's voice alone was heard.
She was quiet while he sang the fourth

JoHNNY'S DAY IN THE WOODS.

And What He Heard And Saw There.
Edna Lewis little girl twelve years old
writes for the Omaha World Herald this
true story of boy that lived in Omaha.
He went to the country with his mamma to
spend the summer with his grandma, who
was very fond of him.
Johnny thought it would be great sport
to go to the woods and spend the day by
himself. Grandma said there would be no
harm in it, so one bright morning mamma
packed basket with good things, and told
him he might go. How happy he was. He
danced around until his yellow curls looked
like a flock of butterflies in the sunlight.
Taking his basket he started down the
path through the orchard leading to the
woods, with faithful old mother dog June
following him. He felt to be quite man
as ne turned to wave his hand to mamma
who stood on the porch watching him as he
disappeared through the gap in the hedge.
How happy he was as he trudged along,
with old June at his side, looking wistfuliy
in his face as much as to say, will take
care of you my little man, it is all right.
But Johnny does not notice her, she is of
small Importance TO him now, with q whole
day and the wide world before him. AS he
passed down through the pasture land that
sounds fill the air, and bright flowers cover
the ground. Johnny sees one taller and
brighter than the rest in a tall clump of
grass. He tells June they win gather the
brightest of them all for mamma. He
reaches up to break the red lily, when out
bounds a great gray something from under
the grass, and poor Johnny leaves the lily
dangling on the stem, and with white
face turns to June. What can it be! June
seeing his fright starts after 1t.
Away they go. AS Johnny sees the white
tale bobbing up and down he feels better,
and says, "Hol it is only just rabbit:
thought it was bear' Calling June he
pats her head and calls her good old doggie.
They start on. He does not venture back
TO get the lily, but tells June I'VE won't
'sturb 'em; there must be q nest there.''
He comes to a brook that dances and chat
tiers over its pebbly bottom. He sits down
to rest and watch the little fish that come
in flocks TO nibble at his feet, as they bangle
in the water.
1t is past noon, and feeling hungry he
does Justice to the sweet things in the bas-
ket, June coming in for her share. Feel
ing sleepy, he lays his head on his arm to
rest and drifts into dreamland. As the
birds fit to and fro they pause to look at
the little sleeper. As the shadows
lengthen they grow more bold and help
themselves to the contents of the basket.
Johnny having finished his nap, starts up
In surprise as he sees a blueiay deep in the
mysteries of the lunch. He quickly shuts
the lid and clapping his hands he tells June
they will go home to show grandma, who
soon sees little boy with very red face
coming up the path to show her what he
had captured. He feels quite like a hero
as he relates the story of the lily and the
rabbit, but we think if it is possible for
dogs to laugh that is the reason June hid
her face in her paws.

of shame, but could find nothing but pride
at the possession of such sister and hope
that she would get a proper "advertisin'. -
