TEN LITTLE PIGS.
what Happened when Ida and Jennie Dis
obeyed Their Papa.

W nat happened Mhen iuA ana Jennie Dis
obeyed Their Papa.
Ida and Jennie were two little girls
who lived near the city. The electric
cars passed by their home, and they
often rode in them.
The little girls papa was a farmer,
and Ida and Jennie used to think it lots
of fun t. go to the big barn and feed
the horses, cows and pigs. In the back
part of the barn there was pen of ten
little pigs about three months old.
One day, when their papa had gone
to Boston, Ida and Jennie ran out to
the barn and opened the door of the
pigges' pen.
OH what a squealing and jumping
about those little pigs had
The girls thought it was great fun.
But when they tried to get the pigs
back into their pen, the piggies would
not 90. Then Ida and Jennie began to
cry. They knew that their papa would
be angry, for he told them never to
open the door of the pig-pen.
All at once the pigs ran out of the
barn into the road as fast as their legs
could carry them. An electric ear was
coming mp the street and the pigs were
frolicking on the track in front of it.
They will get killed." cried Ida
What shall we do?" said little Jen-

And then the little girls stopped cry.
ing and began to laugh. For there, in
front of them was the funniest sight
they had ever seen.
The pigs had formed in a line, in
double file, in front of the car, and
were running ahead of it. Such antics
as those pigs cut up. Everybody in
the car was laughing.
Ida SAYS she thinks the pigs were
playing horse, and thought that they
were drawing the car.
BY and by the conductor of the car
tired of the fun. So he rang the bell.
and the car stopped. Then he and the
driver helped the little girls to get the
pigs back in their pen
Ida and Jennie thanked the kind
hearted carmen for helping them, and
the car started on its way again
When their papa came home that
night they told him all about it. He
did not scold, and laughed very much
at what he called the "piggies' race 5"
But Ida and Jennie never disobeyed
again, and the pigs did not get another
chance to play horse with an electric
car.-Prince Tannatt Woods. in Our

and noticed a qneerly shaped bag .ying
upon the table. fIe went nearer to in
vestigate, and found a bag of lovely
fresh biscuit-at least two pounds!
Here was treasure indeed.
"Ahar cried Mr. Rat. smacking his
lips, II shall not go down TO the kitch-
en- for supper tonight.
He reflected upon what he had bet
ter do. He could not carry the whole
bag up stairs. If ne took the biscuits
up one at time, he would not be able
TO secure all of them before he was dis
covered. Must he lose this feast, and
be content with the two or three he
could eat before morning?
He looked about the room, and his
eyes fell upon the open CRATE, bare and
freless. 1t was only used in the cold
est weather.
''Just the thing" said the wise rat
With biscuit in his mouth he ran up
the hue, and found there a splendid
hiding place. The chimney was filed
with bag of straw, and behind it he
secreted the biscuits. making many
journeys, aud leaving only enough in
the bag to provide hearty supper for
the young rats after his exertions.
The next morning there was a great
cutlery among the children. Some one
had eaten the sweet biscuits! The bag
was empty!
NIECE declared Aubrey.
NONSENSE cried nurse mo mouse
no, nor ten mice-cOuld eat all these
biscuits in one night!n
But nobody solved the riddle. The
rat family lived high for week, and
Mr.. Rat grew fat from finding contin-
ual suppers at such short range.
At the end the week there cayne

Don't forget the straw bag, Nancy"
said nurse. Its put into the chimney
TO keep out the wind. but you must
take it down before you start the fire"
Nancy put her arm up the chimney
TO pull down the straw bag. One end
seemed quite loose. but the other was
wedged in tight. She gave a hard tug
and the bag came away so suddenly
that she tumbled over backward.
My goodness" cried Nancy.
For after the straw bag followed a
shower of SCOT, and then shower of
curiously shaped objects, which had
once been white, but had grown gray
and then black in their hiding place
But the parties feasting upon them had
never hesitated on that account.
When she had examined them, Nancy
called nurse, who was duly surprised,
and then she called the children, who
added "Ohsr and "Ahs!" to suit suit
the occasion.
Its them lost biscuits. to be sure!''
pronounced nurse. And it's that old
garnet rat that's done it the wretch!
hear him come thinlin' down them

Presently the fire blazed and roared
up the chimney, and threw flashes OF
light into the farthest corners. That
night when the old garnet rat came
down and saw it, his heart sank down
into his toes. He knew he would have
to go all the way down to the kitchen
again to find a supper. His roya, time

wANTED--BOYS.

"Wanted-boys.' . this want I find
As the city's wants read Of
And that is sO-there's a certain kind
OF boys that the world has need Of.
The boys that are wanted are steady boys,
Unselfsh, true and tender:
Holding more dear the sweet home joys,
Than the club or the ball rooms splendor
Boys who have eyes for the sisters grace.
Swift hands for the household duty;
Who see in the mothers patient face,
The highest. hottest beauty.
Boys OF earnest and noble aim,
The friends Of the poor and lowiy;
To whom forever a wOman's name.
Is something sacred and holy.
Boys are wanted whose breaths are sweet,
The pure air undefling;
Who scOrn all falsehoOd and smooth deceit
That lead 10 a souls beguiling.
Boys who IN scenes that are glad and bright,
Feel their pulses beat the Easter.
But who hold each animal appetite
As servant and not as master.
Boys are wanted whose strength can Lead,
The weaker upon them leaning:
Boys whose No is a mo" indeed.
And whose Yes" has an equal meaning.
Who are strong not only when life DEGREES
It's Dltter and heavy trials,
But can practice its small economics.
And it's every day self -denials.
Who eagerly Fortunes smile to gain,
With wise zeal wait upon her;
But count all wealth as a treasure vain.
That is won al the cost Of honor.
Doing their duty in every stress,
With love and with faith undaunted;
Daily growing in nobleness-
These are the boys that ara wanted

Good supper.
There was once an old rat who lived
in garnet. He had begun life there.
and having now large family, he
found it inconveIient to move But
the garnet had one draw back as place
of residence. II was long distance
from the kitchen, and the rat, having
TO go so far to forage for food, found it
not always easy to supply the needs of
his growing family.
One night he started down the garrett
stairs to find something for supper.
His tail sounded thump, thump on
every step. Anyone listening could
have heard the patter of his feet
through the hall But every body was
asleep. The sitting-room door stood
open. AS the rat passed he glanced in.
