she was engaged to be married, and

who was about the handsomest young
fellow that ever the sun shone upon.
He was as fair as the Signorina Mo-
rell was dark; his eyes were blue, like
violets, and his hair like gold; and,
bless you, sir, when these two young
people first saw each other it was as
clear case of love at first sight as any
other Romeo and Juliet, and just as
natural as the fame between fire and

Turk, and If looks could have killed
poor Rex would not have lived long to
be his rival. But neither my brave
Rex nor Miss Blanca cared bit for
the Signor's black looks, and then, you
must know, the young lady never really
agreed to the engagement. It was all
made up by her relatives. and she al
ways declared she would rather die
than marry her cousin, declaring bold
ly that she loved Rex Haywood, and
would never marry any other man.
and one day, with his bright face
shining with triumph and merriment
Rex hurried away to the church to
practice his music for the next Sun

BILLY AND THE BEAN.
A Helpful Little Boy who Was True
Philosopher.

A Helpful Little Boy Who Was True
Philosopher.
First.-On bright spring day up in
New Hampshire little Billy Blowgun was
watching his papa plant the garden.
Second -Why did little Billy Blowgun's
old man plant the gardenS
Third. -Because little Billy 3 father was
poor and had to do SO, that he might be
able to furnish his numerous family with
a winters grub stake. They were SO poor
that they never had any other kind OF
steak. This is why little Billy helped his
pa. Every time old Billy would bore a
hole in the earth with his boot heel little
Billy would steal slyly behind and drop in
seeding potato; then he would cover the
hole up. Oh, children, is 1t not beauti-
full thing to be able to assist our parents
as little Billy is doing?
Fourth.-As Billy Blowgun put his
right hand in his pocket to rest it while he
continued to drop seeds with his left his
fingers touched two beans that were left
over from last Sundays hunt with his
little blowgIn. Running to his papa, be

beans. May I plant them and have the

Fifth.-So old Billy gave him the de-
sired permission, and all that summer lit
tie Billy watched his bean vine grow.
Quoth he: "When sell my beans, shall
buy my dear mamma new sealskin sack
and my father new clay pipe, for the old
one is strong enough to kill hem"
Sixth.-One bright day in July little
bean was born.
Seventh. But, though he watched long
and earnestly, no more beans grew upon
the kidney bean vine. Resigning himself
to the inevitable, he said: "Well, by
chowder, I don't care anyway. This is
not evidently bean year, and am lucky
to get one bean for next years seed. l
must hope for the best Ma and pa, I
know, will wait another year for their
presents If I ask them.' So Billy hoped
on.
Eighth. But one September morn, when
baby was playing in the yard. little Susie
came running to her mother, who was also
Billy's mother, and said, ooh, mamma,
baby has picked Billy's bean when WASH 7

Ninth.-Alas for Billy, with his only
Seeding bean in the baby's nose! Did lit
tie Billy rant and curse at his i'll luck!
No. Billy was made of better stuff, and
besides he loved his little baby brother.
So he swallowed his disappointment and
felt better He wished baby might swal
low the bean as easy. Anyhow" he

cause why a writ of certiorari should not

the decision of Chief Justice Beasley in
