THEIR SAIL.

Said Charlie to Sam on bright summer day.
"Come. let us go sailing in Chesapeake Bay:
Wen fish and wen sail, and big storm VIII
come,
And rock the boat so that Wen hurry back
home"
Said Sam unto Charlie: 30 yes! let's jump In
I'm ready, right now. for the storm to begin"
And lust as soon as these boys got afloat
big storm arose and kept rocking the boat.
Said Charlie to Sam: "There hasn't been time
For even one fish to nibbe my line.
Such a terrible storm didn't expect;
If 1t keeps on like this our boat will get
wrecked"
said Sam unto Charlie: "This boat keeps on
rocking.
And soon will upset, the storm is so shocking.
Wen surely get drownded, and there'll be
great fuss,
And we won't catch the fish, but the fish Will
catch us.
Said Charlie to Sam: ITS really too bad
But Biddy is coming, and looks very mad;
So guess that we'd better get out of her way,
And finish our sailing on some other day,
And so Sam and Charlie both fastened in fear
To get out of the way before Biddy came near;
For when that big storm rocked their sailboat
so hard,
They were in Biddy's wash-tub out In the back

A BIT FROM GENERAL MILES'S
BOYHOOD.

He had few companions near his
home, for it was farming region and
sparsely settled. His only brother,
twelve years older than himself, left
home early, and his two sisters being
much older, Nelson was left much to
himself. He continued to ramble through
the adjacent country, carrying his ex-
plorations farther than before, often
taking along well-trained dog and a
shotgun, for he was natural sports
man, and was fairly skilled in setting
snares, trapping, cunning and fishing.
On Saturdays and other holidays the
chool-boys frequently met by appoint
ment at the home of one of their num-
Der. They formed themselves into bands
and clans, and drilled or carried on min
iature warfare. They re-enacted scenes
of the Indian and Revolutionary wars.
The leaders drew lots to settle who
should be the British" the "Injins," or
the "Mericans."
Nelson Miles frequently led one band.
They made expeditions through the open
and wooded country. Sometimes i'm
agining themselves rowing Indians, they
built wigwams, and sometimes as pio-
neer settlers they built log huts. They
laid ambuscades, attacked strongholds,
captured parties, and did many other ad-
venturous things. Their costumes were
gathered from farmhouse garrets, and
consisted of Colonial, Continental, 1912,
and train band Internationally COM
mon in old New England families-and
limitations of the dress of the Narragan-
sett and Iroquois Indians. The wea-
pons were old flint lock muskets, shot
guns, rusty swords, tomahawks and bows
and arrows.
1t is easy to infer that the Miles boy
had military aspirations, and that the
promise of an appointment to West
Point when he should be of the required
age would have been hailed by him with
delight. But farmers boy without
relatives or friends with political inhu-
ence had no hope of such an appoint
ment in those days. when cadetships
went by favor, and not by competitive
examination. Had some seer predicted
that he would become Major General
of the army without ever seeing the mil
itary academy, he would have smiled at
the prophecy as idle and visionary. At
the age of sixteen he went to Boston to
learn to be merchant. -Harper's

The Emperor and the CobbIer.

81. Crispin, you know, is the patron
saint of the shoemakers. In Flanders
and some other European countries be
has his day which is kept as a festival
1t is said that the Emperor Charles v
went into cobbler's shop on the even.
ing of st. Crispin's Day, and found the
cobbler celebrating the day with his
friends. The Emperor. who was not re-
cognized, told his errand. He wanted
his shoes mended. The cobbler told him
he would not do any work, not even for
the Emperor. "Do you love him?" asked
Charles. II do" said the cobbler, "but
l would love him more if he taxed us
less" The Emperor sat down with
the cobbler and his friends and had
pleasant evening. The next day the
cobbler was summoned to the palace,
and in the Emperor saw his visitor of
the preceding day.
The Emperor asked him what he
wanted most. The cobbler asked for a
night to decide. The next day he told
the Emperor that he desired that the
cobblers of Flanders should have the
right to bear for their coat of arms a
boot with a crown upon it. The request
was granted.

THE CHARM OF WINTER EVEN
INGS.

"A world of strife shut out, world of
love shut in" There is great charm
in these cosy Winter evenings which
brings a vision of peace and content
ment to thoughtful and well-regulated
mind. 1t is almost feeling of luxury
we experience when the shutters are
closed for the night, the curtains drawn,
and the lamp lighted, and we turn our
backs on the noise and hustle of a rest
less world to our own inner world which
after ALL is more often than not our real
world.
We love, most of us. to draw up our
armchair in front of blazing fire and
dream dreams and see visions in the
glowing embers and cracking logs of
wood with which the CRATE is filed to
OVERLOOKING. Like little island of calm
repose surrounded by sheltering seas
and rocky boulders is an American winter
evening; no other country can boast of
of such picture of warmth and comfort
shut in from the cold northern blasts
and showers of seet and snow that
usher in the first and last months of the
year.
Great are the charms of winter to the
lovers of outdoor life; still greater are
they to the lovers of indoor life. To the
scholar, the poet, the scribe and must
clan. the reign of winter comes in rosy
chains of wonderful enchantment. The
tender dream Of poetry and the immor-
tally of earthly love. blent with the
heavenly, are his to the FULL Christian

"I'd like to-" Cliff cast longing
look up the hill shining with the
scarlet and gold of autumn. Very

brown nuts rattle down an accom-

boys.
"Come on, then"
For moment Cliff wavered, then
braced up.

looking out for me. She always feels

Cliff had multiplied his words
fiinging them out with more and more
relish at Toms anger. He now turned
and run away with laugh.
With shrek of rage Tom started
to follow him, but was soon forced by
the pain in his foot to stop. AS he
continued to shout his anger after the
enemy, the teacher came from the
school-house and went toward him.
