Thel!United States circuit court of
California has decided that the gov
eminent can not recover from the
Leland Stanford estate the fifteen
million dollars which it loaned him
years ago. Since there is no doubt in
the mind of the court that Stanford
and his partners received the money,
it is hard to see how this decision
establishes justice, and if it does
not it is plainly unconstitutional.
Such decisions as this promote dis
content and spirit Of anarchy much
more than the rantings Of dema-
gOgues.- Christian Standard.

1T amt any kind at all, I'm thinking

So every day the children ran out as
soon as they were dressed to see how the
little brown buds were swelling, and
Betty always said. Hurry, little tree,
and make your leaves!"
"I'll give you some glory seeds to plant
around it," said Betty's mother. "They-

pink and purple and red" But Tim
and Joey had far finer picture in their
minds of every twig hung thick with
shining apples and long stemmed cher

Very slowly, as the weather grew
warmer. the pale green leaves began to

little twig at the very top had the queer

WHO KNOWS THEM?

There was once two little sisters who
lived in the same house. One little girl
had pleasant things happening no her
every day; but the other little girl was
always in discomfort about something.
"Dearies," said mamma, "it is too
stormy today for you to go out"
20, then we can use our new teaset!"
cried the first little girl. "You promised
we could the first rainy day. How
NICE"
Dear mel" exclaimed the second lit
tie girl, that's always the way. par
ticularly wanted to go out today. Now
I can't. How provoking"
1t did seem queer, didn't it?
By and by. after fit of sulks, the
second little girl consented to play tea
party. They ran to fetch their tea table.
"But you broke the table last week."
mamma reminded them. Il sent it to
be mended I'll put this board across
two stools for you. That will make a
good big table,"
II don't think that's nice at all, NAM
ma" complained the second little girl.
ut hasn't any leaves. Now there!
Whenever want to play tea party, then
l can't find the right things. 1t seems
as if it happened on purpose
But see, it's prettier shape" said
the first little girl. Its square one.
Plenty of room for all the new dishes,
and room for every doll. Isn't that
lucky?"
So they played tea-party awhile. and
presently mamma called:
"Come, children. the rain has stopped,
and we can go for bit Of walk before
supper. Get your rubbers and thick
coats"
20 good!" shouted the first little girl.
"Then we can have fun. We can run
through all the puddles, and our thick
coats are our old ones, so it won't matter
if they do get spattered."
II think it's horrid," answered the Sec
ond little girl. 1.-THE thick coats are too
hot, and l just hate to wear rubbers.
But then l always have to do things I
hate, and l sspose always SHALL"
1t is very strange thing, but it does
seem so. wonder if it will happen to
her the same way all her life? Selected.

SUNNY DAY SERMONS.

The suns text is: begin the day
With shining purpose, anyway"
The rains: Let tears fall only where
They'll make the world more bright and fair. :
The wind says: LET your voice be sweet
And only pleasant things repeat"
The flowers whisper, hid apart:
"Show to the world perfect heart"
The while the sky from up above
Shines down the sermon: Heaven is love-"

THE BRAVE LITTLE TREE.

1t grew close against dingy little
house in the corner of big lumber
yard, with piles of lumber all about it,
some yellow and sweet-smelling, and
some brown and musty from rain and
storm.
The children who lived in the little
house called the great towering stacks
mountains. though they did not know
how mountain really look I'd; and they
pretended that brindled cat, with one
ear gone, that went proving about the
undergrad was tiger, very fierce and
dangerous.
There were three of the children, two
boys and girl-almost too many for
such very small house, but they were
SO jolly and rosy and good-natured that
one would not have objected to half
dozen of them. 1t was Betty who first
discovered the tree the day after they
moved into the house, when they were
all little hon esick. She was poking
about among the tin cans and old shoes
and rubbish, and all at once she noticed
the brave little tree, 1t had started to
grow right under the window that iutted
out like some sort of swelling from the
front Of the house. 1t must have been
disappointed when itgrew up against the
floor and found it could get no further
that way; but it just bent its head for
ward and went pushing out towards the
light, until it got beyond the window and
could grow up toward the sky. When
Betty saw it she shouted:
20 Jimmy, we've got tree! little,
crooked tree
Jimmy and Joe ran to see. They had
been thinking of tree to climb, and
when they saw the slim little thing,
Joey said:
mo! that amt anything
But Betty said: IF it keeps on grow
ing maybe it'll get up SO as to shade the
window and have birds nests in it,"
"Oh!' said Jimmy; "let's clear away
all the trash. SO it will grow faster"
Away went old shoes and tin cans,
whirliug among the lumber piles. while
thirty little brown fingers did the work
of rake very well.
Doesn't it look sweet" said Betty,
tying a bit Of scarlet braid about the
slender brown thing, and leaning her
rosy cheek against it. "It's our very own
tree"
That night at supper Betty said: do
you know all kinds Of trees, Father
YES" said the father; "once thy're
done up into boards know them; grow
ing in the woods they are all alike-just
green leaves aid bark. Then there's
kinds that have apples and cherries and
plums to grow on them; them amt for
boards"
"Oh!" said the children, their eyes
shining; 'sposing our tree should be
that kind"
Sand what kind is best for birds, Ia
therf" asked wise little Betty.
"For birds? Well. then. l don't reckon

do, so it's quiet. and cats not too neigh

LITTLE SONG FOR BEDTIME.

A little song for bedtime
When, robed in gowns of white
All sleepy little children
Set sail across the night
For that pleasant, pleasant country
Where the pretty dream flowers Dlow'
Twixt the sunset and the sunrise.
For the Slumber Islands, oh!
When the little ones get drowsy.
And the heavy lids droop down
To hide blue eyes and black eyes,
Gray eyes and eyes Of brown.
A thousand boats for Dreamland
Are waiting In row,
And the ferrymen are calling
For the Slumber Islands. OIL
Then the sleepy little children
Fill the boats along the shore.
And go sailing off to Dreamland,
And the dipping of the oar
In the sea of sleep makes music
That the children only know
When they answer to the boatman's
For the Slnmber Islands, oh!
Oh. take kiss my darlings,
Ere you sail away from me,
In the boat of dreams that's waiting,
To bear you DER the sea;
Take kiss and give one,
And then away you go.
A-sailing into Dreamland
For the Slumber Islands, oh!
The Household.

ssNow, children, if you are not
sweeter tempered toward each other,
you shall not go at all" said Mrs.
Blakesley, coming out on the piazza
where the children were assembled
with their pals all ready to start.
There were two little girls from the
neighborhood, Allie and Mabel Blak-
esley and little Josie Josie was only
eight, and had never been berrying
before. Her little fat face and her
bright black eyes were fairly radiant
with delight.
"Oh, mamma, | didn't mean any
thing" said Mabel, who was really
good natured girl. 81 was only
joking"
"You wouldn't like to be joked,"
said Allie, in an injured way.
well l couldn't help it. 1t was
funny the way she went berrying.
Some of the time she ate her berries,
and some of the time she sat under
tree and rested, and if she didn't do
anything else, she spilled them"
81 think you're too bad," said Allie
half laughing herself.
"Well, l won't say another word.
Come on"
Allie in her old bingham and her
old hat, marched along with the
others. She did not talk as much as
usual. She was thinking. By the
time they reached the berry pasture
she was fired with a resolution. She
would fill her pail full to the brim
this time; they should see.
Allie was a slow motioned, dreamy
little girl. She was not deft with her
fingers. If she worked steadily, it
was long before she could get the
task done, and it was very hard for
her to work steadily.
Today in spite of her resolution. it
was very difficult for her to pick five
minutes without stopping and staring
lazily at the blue sky through the
tall bushes, or at her busy companies.
AS Mabel had said she ate good
many berries, too, in an distracted
way. Poor little Allie really lacked
sadly the power of concentration, but
the others knew nothing about that.
They only laughed at her good ma
turedly because she was so slow
about picking berries.
Today it seemed to Allie herself
that she had never worked with such
feverish speed. When it was time to
go home, and her pail was only two
thirds full she could not understand
it. She peeped furtivelY at the others,
keeping hers out of sight. They were
all full, even little Josie's though hers
was much smaller than the rest. She
had turned out an apt little picker.
She was close beside Allie. Indeed,
she had picked beside her all the
afternoon. She felt that she was
more of a chum; the other girls were
a little older.
When her pail was full she held it
up to Allie with rapture. Mabel was
singing out across the pasture that it
was time to go home. Allie looked at
the little pail brimful of berries, and
a great temptation seized her. She
looked at Josie's pail then at her
own. If about half of Josie's berries
We're turned into her pail, it would fill

BLUEBERRYING.

LIE won't get In y,
there's no sense in her
going. Why she went
berrying a dozen times
last year, and she never
got the bottom of her
pail covered once"
81 will too; now you
keep still Mabel" said
Allie. "I'll pick as many
as you, see if l don't"
"H'm I guess YOU will"
