w. G.. T. u. COLUMN.

A teache or in one of the kindergarters
of Chicago relates the following incident
OIe day her pupils were playing "Oc-
cupation," and it was Bobby's turn to
choose what they should make. He
said "barrels.' and all the children went
round and round, singing the song about
barrels. Then they stopped and pre-
tended to put the hoops on the barrels.
When this was done the teacher asked
Bobby what he would put into the bar
rels. He replied, "Beer." "Oh, I am
sorry to hear that" said the teacher,
II am afraid none of US could taste your
beer when you offer it, because we do
not drink beer" Then she asked the
assistant teachers, and they said no, they
couldn't take any, and ever SO many of
the children said they couldn't either.
So Bobby said he would have apples
put in the barrel. Then the children
went to work pretending to fill the bar
rel with apples, and Bobby played fill q
basket with apples from the barrel, and
then offered some to each teacher and
scholar, and each one pretended to take
one, and Bobby was happy.
That afternoon when he was in his
fathers beer cellar-the father kept a
beer saloon-Bobby began to cry and
pointing to the beer barrels said "they
ought to be filled with apples; teacher
won't take beer, nor Willie, nor Mamie,
nor lots of 'em. Fill the barrels with
apples, frther, do"
At first his father could not under
stand what he meant, but he loved his
little son very dearly and wanted to
have him happy, and when he saw that
day after day the sight of the beer bar.
rels seemed to cause 80 much sorrow to
his only child, he decided that as Bobby
kept begging him to fill the barrels with
apples he would quit selling beer and 60
into the grocery business.
One day a few months after the bar
rels had been made in the kindergarten,
his teacher called on Bobby, and with a
very happy face he brought her a basket
Of apples, saying, 1.-The barrels are full Of
apples now" d
Then his mother explained how Bobby
had felt so bad about the barrels being
SO full Of beer, and not being able to
give any to his teachers or his school
friends, that his father had gone into
the grocery business just to please Bob.
