INDOOR BUTTERFLIES.
How Little sturgis, . Coavalescent
YOuagsteF, Was Entertained
Royalty By His Mother.

When Mamma Leavitt came home
from a call at the high school teachers
she found Sturgis wishing that there
was no such thing as measles.
"If it hadn't been for measles don't
believe should have taken any notice
Of some butterflies ! saw this after
noon," cried Mamma Leavitt, gayly.
"And l shouldn't have found out all
about them SO we could have some our
selves if it hadn't been for measles"
Flying butterflies" said Sturgis,
doubtfully. They don't fly in the win
ter. Were they big ones?"
NO." said mamma, but they were al
big as they ever would be-"
"Were they alive:"
mo, but they were lively" answered
mamma.
what were they made OFF," asked the
little boy.
Paper" replied Mamma Leavitt.
Lets have some" So she took some
thin white paper and cut on, two little
butterflies like Fig. C, and through the
dark spot in each head tied piece OF
sewing silk about six inches long.
you might get your water colors
and have these two butterflies any color
you choose" said mamma.
That seemed good idea to Sturgis,
and he colered them both light yellow
"They are not SO pretty as when they
are other colors, but they look more
summerish when they are yellow" he
said.

POTATO AND STRAWBERRY.

One time big potato grew
Beside q small strawberry red.
They into conversation drew.
And this Is what strawberry said:
I'm glad that am not like you
Way down beneath the ground. 80 deep
Where 1t is dark and chilly-Boo!
1t makes my runners fairly creep!
But you're too dirty to be seen
That's why you hide your head. guess:
Your face Is scarcely ever clean.
You're just a lump Of ugliness!
While / am beautiful, you see.
And sweet and fair-complexion 1ne:
The people fairly worship me. 5
They say that 1 am just divine!"
The old potato rubbed his eyes.
And. speaking slowly. answered thus:
1.-The vain. you know. are seldom wise:
And those who make the greatest fuss
About themselves oft know the least.
Reauty's a thing that quickly dies !.
And sweetness an insipid feast
For all but girls and butterflies.
IT'S true I'm ugly. old. and queer.
And make my home beneath the ground
But while you last q month. my dear.
am on hand the whole year round.
So listen. while potato sings
To you a truth. my little miss:
Not always are the prettiest things
Most useful-just remember this.

LITTLE MUDDY TURTLE.
How . Cleveland CO., Teacher Lost
Her Hard-Earned Reputation
for Artistic Cleverness.

In one of the public schools Of Cleve-
land the teacher of the primary class
has been reading Longfellow's lila
watha" to her pupils, and they enjoy
the rhythm of the poem. if they do
not understand all its verses. Says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer:
When they come to hard word the
draws picture to illustrate its mean
ing. This the pupils find highly enter
tanning, and it helps in quite remark
able way to fix the text in their minds.
A few days ago they came to this line
in the early part of the poem:
At the door on summer evenings sat the lit
''At-th' door-on summer evenings
sat tn little" read the children. Go
on" said the teacher; but they didn't
go on. The name of Hiawatha was too
much for them. They knew who Hia-
watha was, but they didn't recognize
his name.
So the teacher went to the board and
took considerable pains in drawing.
First, wigwam with the pole sticking
upabove it, and rude aboriginal paint
ing on the side; second, little Hiawatha,
with feathers in his hair, squatted at
the wigwam door; third a fine harvest
moon. Then she pointed at Hiawatha
and asked what it was. There was a
general craning Of necks and shaking
of heads.
''Come, comet" cried the teacher,
"you know what it is"
Then one little girl spoke up. II
guess know what it is, teacher"
You may tell the class, Laura"
II guess it's mud turtle" And in
stantly, with one accord, the class glib
~ repeated:
At the door on summer evenings sat tn
little muddy turtle.
And the teacher feels that her rep
,utation for artistic cleverness had re-
ceived . cruel blow.

COULD NOT BE DONE.
e Was Utterly Impossible for TAo1
hoy to Respect His Fathers
Gray Hairs.

Boys" began the Sunday school super.
intendeht, impressively, Il hope none Of you
will ever get into the reprehensible habit
Of abiding to your father as the old man.
When you grow up, no matter how big OF
old you may be, you should always look up to
and respect the silver hairs of your father,
who has grown bent and gray working for
you in your helpless infancy. Now, all OF
you who think you can do this please raise
your right hands"
Up went every hand except one.
Sternly cycling the delinqr mt, the super
intendent solemnly observed:
'Why, young man, / am horriied-abso
lutely horrifed-as well as astonished at
your behavior. Don't you wish to raise your
hand and put yourself on record as being
willing to respect the gray hairs of your ia
ther when you grow up to be man." :.
unblushingly responded the lad.
"Why not, sonny?"
Cause he amt liable to have no gray
hair. Dads bald" chirped the youthful
philosopher, triumphantly, and amid gen
eral litter the discounted superintendent
gave it up and passed on to something else.

THE QUEST OF FORTUNE.
sure to Be Nkund, Says Mr.. GOxxletOn,
II One Oaly Takes the
Right Road.

''Thc longer l live the more firmly am
convinced" said Mr.. Gozzleton, that man
who wants fortune has got to do some
thing besides wish for it.. Fortunes, large
and small, are shy, very shy. In one form
and another they are passing by all the
time, but they won't stop for the mere ask
ing. hswever polite and graceful and ear
nest the invitation may be. We might sit
out on the veranda from now till doomsday
and rise and bow and scrape at every one of
'em that came along and ask 'em all in, but
never one of 'em would stop. They might
want to come in, but nothing short of actual
collaring would bring 'em in. The fact is
that if We want fortune we've got to work
for it.
MEN have made fortunes, to be sure, with
out working. Oilmay spout up out the ground
one man owns and cover him with riches.
Another man may find iron ore IN his land,
and so on. But such cases are SO few in
number that they don't count; the chances
of our getting rich in that way are really
not worth considering If we would be rich
we must work for it. And work early and
late; all the time. Plug at it, and keep
plugging at it. There is practically no other
way.
''The man who idles away his time, or fails
to make the best possible use of it, stays
POOR; the man that works for all he knows
how and keeps forever at it is bound to get
Qlead,'-N. Y. Sun,
