Sammy Found symbol That He Thought
u ll Would Answer. 4
Miss Chapel's Sunday school class was
as varied in color as 1t was in national
ity, passing through all the degrees Of
light and shiide, from Whitley, as they
called the little Swedish boy, through
Mickey, the grandson of old Erin, and
Pietro, the Dago, to Sammy, that double
dyed personifcation of blackness whose
brilliantly stupid remarks have so often
delighted his teachers heart. ~.
Il was announced one Sunday that
the school would be visited the follow
ing week by well known English mis-
sionary, who would personally visit the
various classes in order to make a prac-
tical study Of the different methods Of
teaching. Each teacher was advised to
select some interesting chapter Of the
Bible and prepare her scholars for an
examination oft. SO Miss Chapel cast
about for some story with a Sensational
coloring, finally deciding that Jonah
furnished about the proper material. =
1t had been the one cross of her career
as a teacher that che always had to
spend more time in maintaining order
and attention than In expounding reli-
gious truths. But for once her choice Of
texts seemed wise, and the steady inter
est with which the little urchins fol-
lowed the adventures of poor old Jonah
and his travelling companion inspired her
with hope and confidence. I0Vl us
"Now, boys" she concluded, "remem-
Der all l have told you. Remember that
Jonah could not escape from his duty,
for the whale carried him to it just as
surely as the great ship, when you are
once on board and under way, will not
stop until il has landed you on the other
shore. And above all, remember this,
that when Jonah was cast mp on the
sand it was q symbol of that which We
all need-a higher birth" r,l
The class was dismissed, and Miss
Chapel waited anxiously yet confidently
for the following Sunday. At last the
great day came, and all the boys were on
hand bright and early. The distinguish
ed visitor was there, and after awhile he
found himself q very interested member
Of Miss Chapel's class. Everything had
passed off fatteringly, and the end was
near.
Miss Chapel, her eyes glowing with
satisfaction, turned toward Sammy.

The servants surrounded it. jumped

ORIGIN OF THE BALLET,
known to Have Existed in Italy at
Least Five Hundred Years AgO.

known to Have Existed in Italy at
Least Five Hundred Years Ago.
Strictly defined. the ballet is proper
ly L theatrical exhibition of the art of
dancing in its highest perfection, COM
plying generally with the rules of the
drama as to its composition and form.
1t was in existence in Italy as far back
us A. D. 1900. according to Music and
the Drama, the court of Turin of that
day making especial use of it and the
royal family and mobiles taking part in
it. The ballet was first introduced in
France in the reign of Louis MIL, and
both that monarch and Louis XIV.
occasionally took part in it's dances.
In it's earliest presentation the ballet
appeared deXterously in combination
with the other theatrical acts, and is
said to have completed the chaotic
medley exhibited in these spectacles,
which were at once NEUROLOGICAL, allie
gorical, fantastic, warlike and pastor
al The reader will not be slow to
observe that its development in the
present day has not apparently entire
ly lost sight OF these conditions. About
the year 100 women made their first
appearance in the ballet, which I'D
to that time had been performed ex-
clusively by men, as was the case also
with plays and operas, but no woman
ballet dancer of any note appeared
until 1890, or about a century ago.
AS early as 1850, however, the ballet
had been separated from the opera
and given an independent dramatic
form. Later on in the century the bal
let assumed the form of a great rhyth-
mical pantomime. and for many dec
AIDES was kept up in the theater of
Milan in most exalted style,

Advice to Parents.

If you are parent and have a son
who is dear to you. bring him up in
such manner that he will never be a
speech-maker. The most tiresome man
in the United States to-day is the one
who is always watching for an oppor-
tunity to make speech. The worst
of it is that the man who wants to
make q speech is never good speaker.
He generally has wheezy voice and
yellow teeth, and in nine cases out of
ten he says "eyether" and ''nyether."
So, if your boy develops weakness
for speaking lead him out to the wood.
