far as she has reasoned 1t out. her
third birthday arrived on schedule time
Thursday. and she was duly apprised of
the fact that it was coming to her by
her two elder brothers. They told her
about it "a week or two beforehand.
They also sDoculated good deal as to
what she would receive, and perhaps
it was eXcusable for her to become
somewhat bewildered.

asked her mother when first told of it.
"Yes, dear" was the reply.
"When?"
Next Thursday
Her brothers continued dilating on
the beauties of birthdays. and she con-
tinued making inquiries about hers un-
til the day came.
Early that morning she raised herself
up in her little bed and asked anxious
ly:
Mamma, hath my birthday comed?
"Yes. dear" replied her mother.
The little one looked around the room
eXpectantly.
Well. where Is it," she asked.
1t took her mother the entire day to
explain to her satisfaction what a birth
day is. and even then she rather clung
to the idea that the doll she received as
present was really birthday"

BAD BOOKS AND BAD BOYS.
Is the Influence of the Former Great on
the Latter.


Sir Walter Besant has been saying
something's about the influence of bad
books on boys. This question that
every mother is seriously pondering.
There are some who argue that boy
is bad with or without the reading of
books. ''TO my own unintellisent mind
the fact that bad books do make bad
boys Is so sure and certain that it re-
quires no argument to prove 1t, only
a plain statement" says Sir Walter.
Books teach by precept or by example;
every book that attracts and holds the
imagination teaches: If it did not teach
it could not attract: therefore bad books
must teach bad things. Bad books. says
a recent writer. did not make me a
bad boy, because, first ! only read good
books: and secondly. | was bad always,
and through and through. from the be-
ginning, and without any teaching. He
proceeds to give instances of his own
appalling wickedness Indeed. he seems
to have been half mad at times with
rage and Jealousy and imaginary griev-
ances. Are there many such boys going
about among us? Everybody knows the
real bad boy at school: the boy who is
not to be moved by any of the ordinary
methods. They scold him; they sneer
at him: they rage at him: they weep
over him: they gently lead him: they
kick him; they preach at him; they
cane him: they encourage him: they
praise him. Nothing moves that boy
He won't work: he won't enter into the
spirit of the school, he won't be led i;
he won't fall into any traps. Then
he leaves the school. embraces some
career and turns out-now and then
one of the finest fellows in the world.
But the little demon described in this
letter, who Furnishes his master by turn
ing up all the gas before locking up
the shop for the night; who meditates
setting fire to the house; who carries
o revolver with intent to use it: are
there many of this kind? And is it not
rather terrifying to learn that he grows

What is the best cure for the badness
caused by bad books? The peculiar
kind of badness thus generated seems
to be the destruction of morals in the

There are always two directions-Sen-

which tempts a boy thus fired by these

instinct for battle and for struggle. a

ductOr collected one or two fares and

A great many people We're given a
fright yesterday and some n good deal
of trouble. Workmen who took advan-

large quantity of ice becoming stuck
in the mouth of the distributing pipe
thus shutting off the water.
