II was an old. old. old, old lady,
And boy who was half-past three.
And the way that they played together
Was beautiful TO see.
She couldn't 90 running and jumping.
And the boy. no moro could he,
For he was thin little fellow,
With thin. little. twisted knee
Tfey sat in the yellow sunlight.
Out under the maple tree.
Ard the game that they played Ill tell you
Just IS it was told TO me.
1t was e-and -go-seek they were playing,
Though you'd never have known 10 TO be-
With an old. old. cid, old lady,
And a boy with a twisted knee
The boy would bend his face down
on his one little sound right knee,
And he'd guess where she was hiding,
In guesses. One, Two. Three.
''You are in the china closet"
He would cry and laugh with glee-
II wasn't the china closet
But he IT'LL had Two and Three.
"You are up in papa's big bedroom.
In the chest with the queer old key
And she said. 'You are warmer and warmer.
But you're not quite right" said she.
att can't he the little cupboi'd,
Where mammals things used to be-
So IL must be the clothes-press, gran'ma,'
And he found her with the Three.
Then she covered her face with her fingers,
That were wrinkled and white and wee,
And she guessed where the boy was hiding,
With a one and Two and Three.
And they never had stirred from their places
Right under the maple tree
This old CID old, old lady,
And the boy with the lame little knee
This dear, DEAR dear old lady,
And the boy who was half-past three.

Our baby sat in the bathtub,
The fOaminE rde rose hign.
AS with laughter gay,
He spashed away,
And made the water fly.
At last. his baby eye espied
A bubble fair to see,
Which rose and fell.
With every swell.
AS perfect as could be.
1t cleaned and glistened. round and full.
And grew terfold in hue,
It sparkled bright,
With borrowed light.
Rich crimson, gold and blue.
With outstretched arm he sought to grasp
The tiny wonder Just before
Which larger grew.
AS If 1t knew
Display would coon be Ger.
For like to bubbles chased by men,
Through countless ages up to date,
II burst in air
A course not rare,
Since none escape a kindred fate.

Dear Boys and Girls

1.-The Times"
Dear Boys and Girls:
When / was a very little girl. no bigger.
indeed. than Miss Nellie Starritt, whose pic
ture appeared in Father Times paper last
Sunday / went to delightful country
school In the dear old State OF Maryland.
just that part Of 1t where 1t Genes very close
TO the Virginia State line. 1t was beautiful
little school-house like some story books
tell OF. covered with vines and surrounded
by broad green fields, shaded by immense
old oak trees beneath which we children
used TO romp, play hide and Seek" and
have jolly time OF 1t.
But what | want to tell you s this We
had a dear teacher whom we all loved very
much because she tried so hard TO make our
lessons interesting and enjoyable. She was
very anxious that we should know some
thing CT each days doings In the great busy
world arc md u.s. and one OF the ways she
employed by which TO make us acquainted
with the general news was this: She re-
quired us to bring her each day an item or
news-a fact" as she called it-taken from
the village newspaper, so that we had to
keep our eyes wide open and our minds
alert not &c let the good facts miss us.
Now, beginning tomorrow want you clever
little folks to send me fact each day taken
from "The Times" emitting the accounts
of crimes as no nice children ought TO care
to read those things. At the end of each
week all the boys and girls who send me
facts will have their names In the paper,
and you have no idea how interesting the
search for facts" will become rs time goes
on. l used to like 1t best Of all my school
duties, and I am sorry TO say that | was
not always a very good little girl nor model
pupil but occasionally had to be very severe
ly punished
Now, I'm going to look out for some nice
facts from you small people.
should be very glad to hear from my
boys and girls at any time In regard TO
whatever interests them. for that Is the only
way for us to become real good friends and
work nicely together.
Hoping to receive some good facts" this
week. YOUR EDITOR.
