IN ACCOUNT WITH PAPA AND MAMMA:
Mo-

You should have seen Bennie's face
after he had read this bill. Some tears
welled up in his eyes and then stole
down his hot cheeks. 1t was half an
hour before he could trust himself to
go out to the dining-room and speak
to his mother; but when he did 60 there
was new light in his bright blue eyes.
"Mamma," he cried, 81 can't pay
this bill now. IL"
"Isn't prompt settlement the motto
of business men?" asked his mamma,
smiling.

they haven't anything to pay with.
Mamma, I'm bankrupt" he broke out.
Isn't that what they call it when a
what owe you; and-and the debt'll
just keep ON getting larger and larger
all the time. What shall do?''
Bonnie was almost sobbing.
"No, no, Bonnie DEAR" soothed his
mamma, "you don't owe me anything.
You are kind, obedient boy, and that
settles the whole account"
swell, then, you don't owe me any
thing, either. I'll receipt my bill if
you'll receipt yours"
10 THIS MS mamma agreed heartily,
and on each bill Received payment in
full was written.

OUR BOYS AND GIRLS.
The Ride to Bumpyillp.


Play that my knee was a calico mare
Saddled and bridled for Bumpville;
Leap to the back Of this steed, II you dare,
And gallop away to Bumpvillei
hoi you'll be sure to sit fast in your seat
For this calico mare ia prodgiously fleet
And many adventures you're likely to meet
As you journey along to Bumpville.
This calico mare both gallops and trots
While whisking you off to Bumpville;
She PAGES, she SHES, and she stumbles, in spots,
In the tortuous road to ;Bumpville
And sometimes this strangely mercurial steed
VIII suddenly stop and refuse to proceed,
Which, all will admit, is vexatious indeed,
When one Ia en- route to Bumpvillei
She's scared Of the cars when the engine goes
"Tootl"
Down by the crossing at Bumpville;
You'd better look out for that treacherous brute
Bearing you off to Bumpvillel
with a snort she rears up on her hindermost heels
And executes jigs and Virginia reels
Words fail to explain how embarrassed one feels
Dancing so wildly to Bumpville.
It's bumpetybump and it's 1iggetyjog,
Journeying on to Bumpville;
It's over the hilltop and down through the bog
You ride your way to Bumpville;
It's rattetybang over boulder and stump,
There are rivers to ford there fences to jump,
And the corduroy road 1t goes bumpetybump,
Mile after mile to Bumpville.
Perhaps you'll observe it's easy thing
Making the journey to Bumpville;
So think, on the whole, 1t were prudent to bring
An end of this ride to Bumpve;
For. though she has uttered no protest or plant,
The calico mare must be blowing and faint
What's more to the point, I'm bowed If 1 ANTI
So play we have got to Bumpville.

II We Only Knew.

There are gems OF wondrous brightness
Outlines lying at cur feet,
And we pass them, walking thoughtless
Down the busy, crowded street.
II we knew, eur pace would slacken,
We would step more oft with care,
Lest our careless feet be treading
To the earth some Jewel rare.
II we knew what hearts are aching
For the comfort we might bring;
If we knew what souls are yearning
For the sunshine we might fling;
II we knew what feet are weary
Walking pathways roughly laid,
We would quickly hasten forward,
Stretching forth our hands to aid.
II we knew what friends around us
Feel want they never tell,
That some word that we have spokenl
Panied or wounded where It fell,
We would speak in accents tender
To each friend we CHANGED to meet;
We would give to each one freely
Smiles Of sympathy so sweet.

When mamma had read the bill she
looked at Bonnie with laughing eyes.
$50 you have presented your bill,
have your" she said. "Well, 1 can't
settle it this evening, but to- morrow l
will make it all right"
"That'll do, mamma" answered the
lad. Cuisines men want prompt set
Element, you know"
"Yes, Bonnie, know; that is the
only proper way to do business. Never
let debts run on"
After Bonnie had gone to bed he
couldn't sleep for half an hour for
thinking of his bill and the money he
would receive. How large sum two
dollars and seventy cents was! He
would buy-oh, 30 many nice things
with it! He would even get something
for mamma that would please her much.
With this thought he fell asleep.
After breakfast the next morning he
glanced at his mamma with an expect
ant look. She took slip of paper from
her purse and without saying word
handed it TO him. What did this mean?
This was no money. 1t was only a
piece of neatly-folded paper. There
was lump in his throat. He hurried
into the sitting-room, where he could
be alone while he examined the paper.
His face grew as red as a cherry
when he opened it and saw that it was
not money, but another bill, which ran
as follows:

Bennie's Bill,

Bonnie got the idea from his father,
who was business man. He often
went down town to his fathers office
and noticed how the clerk made out
bills. When his new idea struck him
he was looking over bill something
1iLa tbie.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-04-15

1t was such bright idea that flashed
into Bennie's mind, he actually burst
out into loud laugh, causing the clerk
to look up at him in surprise.
In the evening when he got home he
went to the library with his brother,
and they were busy writing for some
time. IL took them good while to
get the document into proper form, but
at last it was done, and he folded it and
carried it downstairs to his mother.
On opening it she read the following
