just three little girls and a yellow
dog, with such an active tail and two
bright eyes! They stood under a tree.
Suddenly two of the little girls started
away from the tree; and the dog went

their feet energetically. Poor little yell

PLAYFELLOWS.

WHY shouldn't the little squir-
w rels remember their friends?
For many years when the summer
supplies are failing, the gray "chip-
pies" have reappeared in the grove
back of our house, in expectations of
renewal of the provender provided
for them every winter. They have
become very tame. Though heredity
and experience have made birds and
animals fear man as their enemy, yet
there are persons who are able to
overcome the timidity of some ami
mails. / have in mind now little
story associated with one who has
this power.
In front of the telegraph office at
Stockbridge, Mass, there is large
elm tree, which is the home of three
red squirrels. A little girl who is
employed in the office comes out a
number of times a day and knocks
on the trunk of the great tree, at the
same time making whirring noise
as squirrels do.
Instantly three squirrels ccme out
of the tree, and running down the
trunk, they take the nuts she has in
her hand for them, and go up to
place where the branches divide.
Then they sit upon the landing
while they crack and eat them.
Two of them are very tame" she
told us, "but one is rather wild yet"
After the tame ones had been fed,
she pointed up to one of the topmost
boughs where the wild one" sat
looking down SO very wistfully,
The little girl kept knocking with
the nut and whirriDg like squirrel.
Soon the little creature timidly be-

A Hard Word to Say.

In the heat of passion Robert had
done something that he was ashamed of
and sorry for after the excitement had
passed away. 81 wish that | had not
let my temper get away with my good
sense" he said: "but it's done, and can't
be undone."
"But isn't there a way to overcome
the effect of wrongdoing to great ex-
tent?" asked voice in his heart.
"How?" asked Robert.
"By owning to ones blame in the
matter" answered the voice. Confess
ing ones fault does much to set wrong
right. Try it,"
Now, Robert was very much like the
rest of us-he hated to admit that he
was in fault. I'm wrong; forgive me-
is hard thing to say. But the more he
thought the matter over the more he
felt that he ought to say just that. It's
the right thing to do he told himself.
IF know what's right and don't do it,
I'm moral coward. I'll do it." So he
went to the one he had wronged and
confessed his fault frankly, and the re-
suit was that the two boys were better
friends than before, and his comrade
had a greater respect for him because
he had dared to do right although it
brought deep humiliation. Do you not
admire his moral courage?

QUEEN VICTORIA'S DOLL.

When her Majesty, Queen Victoria,
was about seven or eight years old. she
very much wanted to have doll that
she had seen in shop window. When
her pocket money was givensher. she
fastened to the shop, bought the doll.
and was about to step fromsthe door
when she saw poor, miserable man,
who looked as though he wouldslike to
speak to her. She stopped and asked
him what he wanted to say.
II am very hungry" he said. II would
not beg il | were not ready to sink with
hunger"
II am very sorry have no money.
said the little Princess, "or else"
He was just moving away. when the
little owner of the new doll murmured
"Stay."
She stepped back into the shop and
asked the lady behind the counter if she
would mind keeping the doll few dsys
The doll was taken back and.the money
returned to her. Hurrying out of the
shop, she placed the whole of the money
into the hands of the poor man. After
she had done so he murmured:
IF the Almighty made you a queen
it would not be more than your good.

Then he hobbled away to satisfy his
hunger. The Duchess of Kent, it il
said, told her daughter that same day
she would probably become Queen oil

DOLLY-TOWN.

Have you ever been down to Dolly-Town?
The sight will do you good.
There the dollies walk,
And the dollies talk,
And they ride about
In a grand turnout,
With coachman thin
Who is made of tin,
And a footman made of wood
There are very fine houses in Dolly-Town,
Red and green and blue;
And doctor grand
Who is at command
Just to mend their toes
And their arms and nose,
When they tumble down
And crack their crown
His medicine is glue.
But the prettiest sight in Doliy-Town-
That place of great renown-
Is no dolly at all,
Though so neat and small.
If you've time to spare,
Go on tiptoe there;
See the wee, wee girl,
The rose. the pearl,
Who is Queen of DollyTown!

the little work table beside her. as
she selected the beads of each color.
John was playing cars. He had a
train made up of his old box cart for
the freight, his new express-wagon

switching off.
"Take care, john" said Gladys
again, a few minutes later, as the
train came still nearer. "I'm afraid
you'll upset the table and spill my
beads"
"Chool choo! Ding -ling"
Away went the train. But the en-
gineer must have been very forgetful;

John was always sorry, but it did
not make him careful.
"Never mind. john" said Gladys
quietly. "I'll forgive you"
She had been thinking hard for a
minute of the lesson the minister
read in church yesterday: "Then
came Peter to him, and said, Lord
how oft shall my brother sin against
me, and l forgive him' until seven
times? Jesus saith unto him, say
not unto thee, Until seven times, but
until seventy times seven"
Gladys had quick temper, which
gave her good deal of trouble; but
she was earnestly trying to be good,
and she had resolved to obey this
lesson.
John looked grateful as we'll as
penitent. He knew Gladys had
reason to be vexed with him; and he
had expected she would take her
dolls carriage out of his train, at the
very least.

tower, hating and debating every
now and then as it came nearer and
nearer to the uplifted nut.
At last it made one quick bound,
snatched the nut and was off to a
place of safety again. The little girl
told us they were going to put a
squirrel house in the tree, and try to
keep them all winter.
Wesaw one of these nimble littlefel-
lows on a pine tree the other day, wav-
ing his tail in state of great agitation.
Looking for the cause, we saw puss
quietly seated on the ground near
the foot of tree. The squirrel was
bidding her defiance, and brandish-
ing his brush almost in her face,
while he INDUCED in the sharpest
kind of scolding. Squirrels are great
scolds, and we have no doubt he
was calling puss all manner of hard
names. She remained very quiet,
but evidently kept one eye on mas
ter squirrel. Though running down
tree almost to the ground, he gave
her no chance to pounce upon him,
being evidently on the alert, waving
his tail and darting about in state
of great excitement. Puss disdained
his challenge, and walked off with
great dignity, whereupon master
squirrel must fain show his agility
by darting to the top of tree, leap
ing across to a neighboring maple,
running to it's topmost branches and
down again as much as to say,
Don't you wish you could catch me?"
He seemed to be a creature of the
air as he skinned across the tree
tops.
Squirrels, with all their fun, are
wise animals; they look ahead
and prepare for the future. When
autumn comes, and often before,
many little fellow may be seen run
ming as fast as he can, with his mouth
crammed full of grain, corn, seeds,
acorns, nuts, or some other food, that
he means to store away for winter.
They gather great quantities of food
and hide it in hollow trees, under
rocks, or in holes under the ground.
| When the weather grows too cold,
they spend most of the time in their
holes in trees or in the ground, eating
when hungry and sleeping good
deal. Sometimes, if not always,
when they sleep, they wrap their
bushy tails close about as covering.
The fact that they use their tails so
much as covering has probably
given them their name; this is from
two Greek words-skia, "a shadow"
and oura, "a tail" The Greek name
skirouros for "a squirrel" means "the
tail shadower," or the animal that
/ hides himself With his tall.
We saw another squirrel recently
leap from stone wall, and start to
run across the adjoining field. 1t
was squally afternoon, and the lit
tie fellow made for every tree along
his path, stopping at each one for a
moment as though claiming its shell
ter. Musing we wondered if the
church wasn't tree like that some
times, and if some people were not
like the squirrel hiding in the church
every Sunday and Drawing Gods dis
pleasure the rest of the week.

Seventy times seven. That's four

him four hundred and ninety times,
but after that shut her lips
tight. Somehow she felt as if little
