producer, Augustin DAILY, he imbibed
from him the love of beauty in the detail
of stage productions and the unerrlng

warped under the DAILY regime, if any

WiiIie'S PRAYER.

Little Willie wanted a drum His
mother thought it would be a good op-
portunity to give Willie an object lesson
on the efficacy of prayer, so advised
him to try it. When he knelt down by
his little bed that night and bowed his
head his mother slipped the drum on
the bed and Willie prayed:
Now l lay me down to sleep
L want a drum.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
| want drum.
If ] should die before / wake
| want a drum.
l pray the Lord my soul to take

When Willie raised his head there lay
the drum. His eyes fairly protruded in
amazement. Finally he exclaimed in an
ecstasy of joy;

from, anyway? y?'-San Francisco Post
