Hans" said I, you may read the num-
bers as point to them on the board"
so began to point and Hans began to
read, which was something like as fol-
lows: won, dow, dree, YOUR, wife, xix,
zeeven, ocht, MEN, den." "That was
well done, Hans" said /. ''Now you
may read them backward"
The little fellows face darkened for
an instant, then suddenly frightened
as the idea how to read them backward
came to him. He first turned his back
to the board and tried to read them by
looking over his shoulder, but failing in

touched the floor and looked from be-
tween his legs at the numbers back OF
him on the board.

roar among the rest of the scholars, nor
did ct the time attempt to quell it, for

genuine humanity.-Jennie B, Hogan

A little girl who had recently learned
q list of authorizations in common use,
was asked to spell the name of one of
our best-known rivers. The answer
came readily enough: ''M-r-s-i-p-p-i!"
Little Mary went to church, and when
her pastor called next day, wishing to
be social, she said to him: "Iheard you
speak your piece yesterday" "Did
