LITILE MARIE.
ONE ofthe ideas which Run Through Her
Precious Mind.

She is four years old and her name is
Marie For some weeks she has been at
tending a parochlal school A few days
ago she came home AID undertook 10 tell
her papa about her experiences at school.
She rambled along at great rate for
some time, and then startled her papa by
saying:
AN when people die they put masks
on them"
The papa had not paid much attention
to Marie up TO this time, but the masks
caught him
What's that, MarIe?" he said
Il said" remarked the little woman.
that when people die they put masks on
them"
Papa loo ked az mamma Neither said
word. and presently Marie vas asleep.
What on earth did Marie mean by
saying when people ole they put masks
on them2" asked papa
why that's easy" said mamma. 'She
has heard her teacher talk about masses
for the dead She has mixed the words q
little, that's ALL"
Papa reached the conclusion that only
mother, after all, knows how TO iigure out
the mysterious little thoughts that run In
her childs brain
on another occasion Marie and her papa
were taklng. a walk. Little Nellie, who
lives across the street and is, or was,
Maries playmate, was walking with her
papa at the same time. The two parties
met and the papas had talk. Marie's
papa noticed that the two little girls did
not appear to be as "chummy' as OF
yore. When the walk was continued papa
said.
Marie. what IS the matter with Nellie
and YOU? why did you not speak 10
herr"
Marie's little shoulders were shrugged
and her little lips took on curl OF the
utroost disdain as she scornfully replied:
"Oh. she thinks she Is awfully smart
iust because their baby died. "-Chicago

Where did he APPEAR Summing up all

years ago. The evidences OF his exist

unmistakable. BY what process he came
