f" HERE once lived little girl who
was always trying to find faults
IN others, and whom everybody
| disliked for that reason. One day
she went to play with her COM
panions by the river side, but one said:
I'VE don't want you here; you only
spoil the fun by telling tales" Annie
turned away, disappointed, and run
ming home, cried: Everybody is so
unkind to me; 1 can't make out the
reason. 1 do nothing to make them
treat me so; even my little sisters and
brothers turn from me-" Then she ran
out Of the house to the garden and sat
down, crying, among the flowers, till
she was so tired she came in, and
shortly after had her tea and went to
bed She soon fell fast asleep and had
a dream. She dreamed she went to
gather primroses. but the little flowers
bowed their heads and said: You may
not pluck us; you may find fault with
us and throw us away" Then she went
to beautiful rose, but as she attempt
ed to pluck it it pricked her. Then she
went to a simple daisy, and it said: Il
must tell you something before you
pluck me, and perhaps you will be bet
ter. Try to conquer all your faults and
finding faults in Others" At this point
Annie awoke and thought, ST will try to
love and be kind to all" Her COM
panions loved her again. One night she
told her mother the dream, and said

q travelled one day to Rhymetown
To get a bundle of rhymes;
II The keeper knew me when l came
I'd been there lots of times.
The road that leads to Rhymetown
Stops at a monstrous gate
All written Ger with funny rhymes,
To read the while you wait.
The keeper comes to let you In
With an enormous key;
And, after you are once inside,
Then this is what you'll see:
Long gates and short gates,
And gates both square and round,
And high gates and low gates
All resting on the ground.
And straight gates and crooked gates,
And gates with curves and points,
And gates made of a single piece,
And gates with many joints.
Gates of every shape and size,
Medium large and small.
I'm sure if you had forty eyes
You could not count them ALL
Each gate the entrance to a street
Where rhyming words are kept
BY Elfin men and Fairy maids
Who never yet have slept.
To serve the folks who write;
For some make rhymes while it is day
And others choose the night.
Now what street first?" the keeper asked
With bow like to a king.
/ thought moment, Guess I'll take
The street that ends with Ing"

From the Baltimore American,

She saw shields, banners and armor
falling all around, and, to her excited
fancy, it seemed to her that all the his
torical relics in the room had suddenly
been given life and we~o as they were
reflected in the mirrors chasing her as
fiercely as the booieS ever followed Tam
O. Shanter.
Help! Oh, help!" she screamed,
greatly frightened.
There was a sound Of rushing feet.
In came policeman. The armor va
liantly charged in his direction, the
sword pointing straight at his broad
stomach. The officer ran out.
Then there were more steps. Mrs.
Lee entered and the armor of ancient
Rome executed military movement in
her direction.
''Tom," she said, come right straight
out of that armor or there will be
trouble"
The armor stopped in its headlong
career. Then from - depths came a
smoker. Then a somewhat shamefaced
but very humorous phiz beamed into
view.
Tom" said Kitty, ready to cry, IT
think you are too mean for anything"
Tom only laughed.
When the policeman returned with a
squad of other officers to arrest the
runaway armor, Tom, Kitty and their
mother had departed.
Little four-year-o ld--Laura, while
playing in the nursery one day, tore

But started back toward the gate,
Came after me with hop and jump
AS fast as If on wings.
They covered me from head to foot,
Went in my pockets peeking,
And on my specs, good roosting place
They found without much seeking.
They perched upon my nose and cara
And scampered through my hair
Until it all stood up on end
AS If I'd seen a bear.
1 tried to call their Fairy keeper,
But found l couldn't talk;
So many on my muStache sat,
They in my mouth would walk.
1 shook my head in deep despair,
When off my hat they tumbled.
shook all over like a dog,
And soon they all were jumbled.
In one big twisting, squirming mass.
Big, little, young and old.
Just then their keeper came in sight,
And o! how she did scold.
She took a slender silver stick
She keeps for just such things,
And scattered UP and down the street
Those disobedient 'Ings.
Recovered from my fright,
/ looked behind me and saw there
Was not an Ing in sight.
When now I go to Rhymetown
That memory round me clings.
I never since have found street
Like that one full Of 'Ings.

And then I saw a wondrous sight
To you, but not to me
The keys to all the smaller gates
Made up the one big key.
He touched spring, and 'Ing-street key
Stood straight out from the rest
And when he had unlocked the gate
| started on my quest.
Ing street is broad and very long,
And always quiet seemed,
Until to-day with riotous 'Ings
From end to end it teemed.
I wondered what could be the cause
OF all this uproar loud.
Determined then to find it out,
l stepped into the crowd.
A little Ing upon box
Said, please sir, it's an Ed,
Climbed over in our street last night
While we were all in bed.
For this unlawful act the 'Ings
Are chasing him to death.
He's almost finished, sir, l think
He hasn't much more breath"
" Poor little chap" / thought, "too bad
That you should end this way"
And with one big, long step stood
Beside him as he lay
All torn and dusty. on the ground
A sorry looking fellow;
The 'Ings had beaten him till he was
So soft. as to be mellow.
I picked him up and dropped him in
The leather bag 1 carried,
And then, when I had found my 'Ings,
No longer there tarried.

TX of the interior counties Of CAL
~ ifornia. Her dream of happi-
ness has been, for long time,
to visit San Francisco and see
all the quaint and rare things at Golden
Gate Park. Kittie has mischievous
brother Tom, and he came to the city
with Kitty and her mamma. When
the shopping was done Mrs. Lee went
out to the park, and Kitty's cup of
happiness was full as she stood In front
Of the exhibits.
But where was Tom? Mrs. Lee first
noticed his absence and as he did not
respond to her call she went out to seek
for him, leaving Kitty alone in the
armor room. There are specimens Of
ancient armor and ancient arms, some
of which may have been actually worn
and used by the fighting men of old.
Kitty knows enough about history to
be interested in the spears and breast
plates and old-time swords. She was
soon absorbed in study. Suddenly, to
her establishment, one of the suits
Of armor said to her:
Little girl, I wish you would not
stare at me so. I declare, I have not
been so rudely treated since the battle
Of Cannae, where 1 was worn by a Ro-
man soldier"
THAT was great battle" said Kitty.
not knowing what else to say.
"Humph! Much you modern people
know about fighting" was the re-
Spouse.
II know all about the battle of Cam
nae" said Kitty. There were so 900
fighting men killed there in one day."
"Ah, yes; look out, the spirit of war
is upon me and I must kill some one.

THE MOTHERLESS LITTLE ONES.
BY DR.. T. ]. BARNARDO.

n Cd pity the helpless children
Who never dare lift their eyes
u Or voices plead though their hearts may bleed
Except the plying skies;
Who cringe from the sting of word or blow
Where mercless Justice stands
Till long gather them all in my arms,
And soothe with loves plying hands
God pity the motherless children!
Oh if love not selfish to-day,
We would hush every cry that is waited on high,
From the orphans that throng in our way
We would clasp little hands would cheer little hearts
AS motherhood blesses and charms;
Gather them in from and SIM
As Christ folded them in his arms

ACRES OF PINK POND LILIES.
Floral Display That Delights Con-
necticut Railway Travellers.

Floral Display That Delights Con-
necticut Railway Travellers.
One of the most beautiful floral ex-
hibits in New England is upon Tad
pole," a famous pond lily pond on the
line of the Norwich & Worcester rail
road, one mile above Jewett City, Conn.
The surface of the pond is now a mass
of pink and white pond lilies, and their
fragrance is carried for miles by the
summer winds, says the New York
Sun.
No one knows how long this remark
able garden of pond lilies has been in
existence, but for many years Tad
poles lilies have been sought by picnic
parties from nearby counties in this
state, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Carloads of the flowers are carried
away, but there seems to be no dininu-
ton in the supply.
The railroad comes suddenly upon
the pond, which it divides in halves. anc
in an instant the passengers detect the
fragrance of the lilies and throw up
the windows, the better to view the
beautiful and unusual sight. In one
section of Tadpole there is large tract
of lilies the blossoms of which are of
so rich a pink as to be almost rose
colored, it is said. They are of exceed
ingly rare beauty and are much sought
after by collectors.
/. Tadpole's unromantic name comes
from its being favorite place fol
young frogs. 1t has been known by
this title for years, but an effort is now
making t&change its name to the still
more unromantic one of Clayville
pond. .---/
