tho Boys Eyes were Opened.

tho Boys Eyes Were Opened.
Mothers who live in the extreme west
ern part Of the city do not permit their
children to play about the sand pits that
abound IN that locality because two
children were killed by o sand bank
caving in upon them. Notwithstanding
the stern parental prohibition, many Of
the little fellows play in the sand as
much rs ever. One mother, who has U
precoclous youngster Of about years Of
age, forbade the little fellow going near
the treacherous sand banks, telling him
that great big, black bears lived there,
and that they would eat him alive.
One day he met crowd Of his COM
panlons on their way to the sand bank.
They asked him to accompany them.
With childlike simplicity he told them
that ne would not go for fear of the big
black bears. They laughed at him and
told him that there were no bears near
the playground, but he held out bravely
until ne saw his Sunday school teacher
approaching. 1t was agreed to leave the
whole matter to her. She, not knowing
the circumstances, said that there were
no bears IN the neighborhood. Bursting
into tears, the little fellow ran homo to
his mother.
He related the whole story and how
his Sunday school teacher had said that
whoever had told him that there were
bears in the sand bank had told him a
STORY" and that it was wicked to tell
stories. The mother reproached her
self bitterly for having deceived the lit
tie fellow and frankly admitted that she
had said there were bears at the sand
bank i'll order to brighten him.
ut is wrong to tell 'stories,' F" she
continued, "and now let's get down on
Cur knees and tell God all about it and
ask him to forgive US.
The little follow consented, and they
had knelt down when he suddenly raised
his tear stained face and said:
Mamma s'pose tell him. You
might toll it wrong. "-Louisville Cou-

usurped in more than ono instance it can
at least be said of all of them that they

many faults Catherine tho Great proved a
wise and powerful monarch, and much

prisoners to q systom Of CHASTITY torture,
