THE WALKING BISCUIT.

One night just before supper, when
NaiKie and Baby K ate sat telling stories
and waiting for papa to come, and the
room was all shady and quiet, Maize
suddenly noticed something white and
round moving over the floor.
She pointed to it. what is that. Z"
she said. Did you drop some OF your
playthings, K4tie4"
81 didn't" said Katie" land I'm go
scared I'm 'fraid I'm goin' to cry. l
fink it's a bistick walking in hereI'
and Katie got on her feet and backed
hastily away from the queer thing as
it came in and travelled up and down,
and around and around, acting as If
it were really trying TO run after her;
never rolling. but scooting or showing
over the carpet.
20, said mama, laughing, biscuits
don't get down on the floor and chase
little girls about trying to eat them
it's the little girls who eat the biscuits, -"
and then she saw the thing herself, and
jumped up too. S1e tried to pick it
up, but it slipped away from her.
Just then papa came in, and as soon
as he saw the white round thing he
took il in his hand. He dropped it
again in a hurry. It was really a bis
cult, but i5 seemed to have two little
hind legs and a tail. Mr.. Papa caught
it once more. This time he gave it a
big shaking, and out dropped a Gus
Mousse had come into the quiet, half
dark dining room, climbed up on the
table, and eaten his way right into one
of the biscuits which he found there on
Gplate.
When he tried to get out he found
his head ana forepaws were fast stuck
in the hole he had eaten in the biscuit,
and in pushing about he fell right off
Che table to the floor, biscuit and all.
He must have been still trying to get
loose when Maizie saw him coming in,
and Baby Kate thong ht he was running
after her.
When Mr.. Papa ehook him out he
ran for his life, and luckily found his
mother and little sister waiting for
him in the hall, both as frightened as
they could be. Cad enough he was

genuine satisfaction than az olive
spoon or fish knife, cut glass dish or

in ordinary life, as she can use these.
Give a couple of table cloths and set Of
napkins not too foe to be used. A
dozen towels with a couple Of wash

TaE FIRST CHRISTMAS.

Like small curled feathers, white and
soft,
The little clouds vent by,
Across the moon, and past the stars,
And down the western sky.
In upland pastures, where the grass
With frosted dew was white.
Like snowy clouds, the Young sheep lay
That first 6lesG Christmas night.
The shepherds slept, and glimmering
faint,
With twist of thin blue smoke,
Only their fires cracking flame,
The tender silence broke,
Save when a young lamb raised his
head,
Or, when the night wind blew,
A nesting bird would softly stir,
Where dusky olives greWi
With fuger on her solemn lip
Night hushed the shady earth,
And only stars and angels saw
The little Savl0ur's birth.
Then came such fl ssh of silver light
Across the bending s zIes
The wondering shepherds woke and
Their frightened, dazzled eyes.
But ell their gentle, sleepy flock
Looked up, then slept again,
Nor kne " the light that dlmmed the
stars
Brought endless peace to men,
Nor even heard the gracious words
That down the ages ring:
''The Christ is born. the Lord has come,
Good will on earth to OringI"
Then DER the moonlit, misty fields,
Dumb with the worlds great Joy,
The shepherds sought the white. walled
town,
Where lay the baby boy.
And, oh. the gladness of the world,
The glory OF the skies,
Because the longed for Christ had
smiled
In MAry's happy eyes.
Margaret Deland.
