'You can buy almost anything you

"Well," continued grandma, II shall
want you to have your dishes in perfect
order. After you get them ready for in

even better" she thought.

Bessie began to look curious.

you have" remarked grandma, as she
readiusted her spectacles. Somehow

Bessie, promptly.
"Cheap enough, declare" and grand

exact change in five scent pieces. "PII

"Oh, grandmaW cried Bessie, in sur
prise, when she saw the brown, sweet
coins.
Isn't that the righ, changer" inquired
grandma, businesslike, not appearing to
notice the little shopgirrs wonder.
"Oh, yes" returned Bessie quickly.
"How much do you get for these plates ?
l think want one, two, three-perhaps all
you have" and grandma again opened
her purse.
1.-TWO cents each at Wholesale" said
Bessie.
Very well, and grandma counted out
twenty-five cents. II do wish there were
a dozen!'
Bessie put the change into the money
drawer-a bright Lwo-quart dish-and
wen. on with the sale.
Grandma found the dishes so much to
her liking that she bargained for the en-
tire lot al a generous price.
Il never was so rich before!" laughed
Bessie, when the store was closed for the
night-there, l meant morning-and she
was counting and actually eating her
money.
''And I'm delighted with my nice clean

The G. R. G. Motto.
Act well your part; there all the honor

While children's societies and clubs are
very important features of the lead
ing Eastern papers and magazine
little attention had been paid to the
subject in the West until the San Fran
cisco CALL eslablished 'Childhood's Realm
Club" in connection with its Sunday edi-
ton. Therefore, C. r. C. is the pioneer
children S newspaper society on the Pacific
Coast. That it has proved popular fea-
ture is shown by the fact that 1876 boys
and girls OF California, Washington and
Oregon are enrolled as members.
The Rose by the Wayside.
1t is told in an Eastern story
That when Mary took her fight
With the Holy Child to Egypt.
Slow journeying on by night,
Wherever in wild or desert
They paused for a brief hours rest,
The place of their hasty slumber
With sprlnglng rose was blest.
In her was the love unspottsd,
And the life of the world in him;
What wonder a power supernal
Went out on the night air dim.
And the breeze bent low to bear it,
Earth lifted her brooding breast,
Ana the flower OF flowers most precious
EmbOwered that sacred rest.
How often with happy meaning
The story comes back to me,
When some trusting, humble pilgrim
On the journey OF Life l see,
Who, walking desert pathway
From the joyous world afar,
Hears ever the Chrst-child's whis per,
Sees ever the love-lit starl
Who with word of cheer unfaiIing,
And loves perpetual grace,
Gives beautiful adorning
To the solitary place.
Oh, fresh and sweet were the roses
That pillowed Madouns's head.
But they blossom to-day wherever
TIE pure and the faithful tread.
