 The owl begged her to be still while he nuted the dainty dress perfectly upon her iairy-like form, but no, she wished to be naughty or tease the owl, she continued to eVade him in his efforts to put the dress on her. When at last the owl became im- patient, and declared to the raven If she refused longer to sit still: 'I will spill this lamp full of sooty oil on pou."
 The raven paid no attention to the threat, and Kept up her merry jest and the owl at last in his vexation dashed the contents of the lamp over the snowy white garment, and cried out: Qua! quar'.
 From that day the raven has always been clad in a black coat.

The boys had been studying dilligent all the time, and as the term was nearing the end they talked of home every day. When the day arrived that they should go home 1t was happy group that was gathered around the station waiting for the train. At last they heard the whistle of the loco motive and, looking down the track, they saw it coming.
 It stopped for twenty minutes at the sta- tion and the boys got on.
 At the end of twenty minutes the con- ductor shouted "All aboard!' Ding-dong, went the bell, and the train started.
 It was about 8 p. m. when the boys ar rived at home. Sunday was spent very pleasantly in tell ing their adventures to their parents. On Monday Jim called meeting of the M. M. M.

(The End.)
How the Raven Became Black

The Esquimaux have a legend that ex- plains the ravens dark feathers Any little Esquimo boy or girl could tell you about 1t, for they are as familiar with the story as you are with Red Ridinghood or Puss-in- Boots, the difference being that you know your stories to be fairy tales, while these children are taught the raven story as a true one. It begins very much as all your stories begin. Once upon a time ravens and owls were the best of friends. They never quarreled or disputed and thought only of giving pleasure each to the other. They were as affectionate and kind to one an- other as brothe and sister, having all their possessions in common.
 Once the beautiful raven, who always dressed in spotless white thinking to be as generous as her dear friend, the owl, al- ways was to her, made beautiful dress of white and black, and presented 1t to the owl as token of love and friendship.
 In return the owl constructed a fine pair of whalebone boots for the raven, and not content merely to do as much as the raven

 "Here! Take it, then" Hubby responded, throwing a piece of apply pie at him. The soft object missed Doc and struck Stuffy in the ear.
 "G-g-gee whiz! what you d-doin! Think you re b-b-blamed S-Smart, don't you?' snarled Stuffy, wiping the apple juice from his cheek.

 "Shut up and sit down." irreverently in- terrupted Hubby, ignoring the fact that there was such thing a president How dy seeing his efforts to keep order were of no avail, immediately subsided. Just then Lengthy thought of the coffee, and upon making a demand that it be brought, everyone supported it. Doc, sec ing that further opposition was useless, meekly got it from the stove. This gave new cause for trouble. For when he poured the hot liquid into the extended cups, he purposey let 1t spill over out on the hands that held them, thereby causing great confusion. Lengthy was the first to suffer He was eagerly holding out his cup for his portion with one hand and suffing Skinney with the other, when Doc spilled nearly a pint over on his hand.

Second PrIze-Gus Douglas

In your story of the M. M. Ms think nave guessed the name and some facts connecting the boys. In the dictionary I found the name, which is Mind, Moves, Matter" The facts are that Fred Scofields parents died, leaving great sum of nancy in care of his guardian, Daniel Dick Delan- cer
 D. D. D., Jr. He found out his father sum of money in his care. When Fred was young he was taken to Richmond, Va, and lost by his guardians son, D. D. D., Jr., who wanted to get Fred's fotune.
 D. D. D., ST., was so disappointed over his so many unsuccessful attempts to find Fred that he moved to the mountains to have nothing else to do with the world. By trying to find a bear he found a cave and left his money in it.
 The boys on a trip to the falls saw an Indian woman who told them that there was bear prowlng around up there They started up the mountain, and met bear, and at critical moment a stranger hand ed them a gum
 One day they found D. D. D., Jr., threat ening the old man to make him tell him something. They caught D., Jr., and tied him in the cave. When they got in to the old man he was dying. He beckoned for Fred to come to him and told him about the money dn the cave and Fred, or Thea dore Scofield, said that he was the boy that the money belonged to. The cash money was for Fred.
 Fred cleared all matters and they went back to school and had enough money to go through college.

grassy lanes instead of strets. He Irove the cows to pasture on the Common. Wash ington-st is the old crooked cow-path. There was a high beacon on Beacon Hill and a windmill on Copp's Hill. The boys liked to coast down Beacon Hill in winter
 "An Indian was the postman who carried letters from town to town. The people trav- elled by stage. The only ships were sail ing vessels.
 "Because the people of Boston (town) were good and brave, it grew to be big city. There are five hundred thousand peo- pie In Boston now.
 The Boston boy of 1899 rides in steam horses.
 "The mall and telephone and telegraph carry our messages. Steamboats cross the ocean in a week. There was not land enough for all the people, so more land was made in the harbor. The old Town Dock Is part of the Subway now The little Puritan boy would find everything changed except the Common.
 "I am very glad the little Puritan boy came across the sea from England to live in Boston in 1890, but would rather be the Boston boy of 1S99."
 The story was written by Tommy in the Braille joint characters during his hours of play. It was read by him from his own manuscript before a large audience and the table upon which 1t rested was made by his own clever hands.

pup-punch your 1l-head for you" Lengthy now put an end to this inter esting conversation with a howl.
 Say, Doc, ain't supper most ready?"
 Doc hung his hat up and took a seat at the table before replying. Then he said:
 "Why believe 1t is!''
 Hubby, who was judging the game, made a dash for the table at these words, and needless to say, Lengthy and Howdy were not slow in following.
 This noise aroused Browning, who sat up with a.
 "Who said supper!"
 Nobody did," shouted voice from the table. "Just stay where you are Browning, then we'll be sure of getting something to eat"
 Browning muttered some indignant reply and made an attempt to climb over the board, where skinney and stuffy were still playing. In his mad efforts to accomplish this feat effect" Doc said) he ripped over Stuffy's knee and the trio fell In a heap upon the floor with the board and two chairs atop of them.
 Doc was too busy eating to more than remark, with his mouth full of cake, Come here and I'll pick you up."
 Skinney was the first to get untangled from the heap, and he seized chair at the head of the table and commenced eating.

CHAR HOWELL ON THE
 PHILIPPINE QUESTION

Continued from 17bh Page)
 >------------------>------ mission without patriotism. Governments have been so administered and people have been so held, but not until this day has it been established that such a system of gov ernment is best, either for those who gov- ern or for those who are governed.
 Personally, I am inclined to think that the American flag in Cuba and in the Philippines will never be substituted by any other. I think 1t is there ito stay, and that as it was put there by the hand of God. so will it be kept by divine direction. be- lieve, however, that it is not force which will shape this end, but that it will come about as the voluntary act of the people of Cuba and of the Philippines Like the republic of Texas, Cuba, if it ever attans independence, will instinctively turn for ad- mission to the American sisterhood of states it is inevitable. As to the Philip pines, when we have put down the insur- rection, the end of which Is now apparently in sight; when we have established our right to proceed to the work of reconstruc- ton, even to the satisfaction of Aguinaldo himself: when peace and order shall pre- vail and the people of the island shall have turned once more into the almost forgotten paths of prosperity-we will bring to their hearthstones such a practical illustra ton of the benefits to accrue to them from our system of government. so strikingly in con- trast with the oppressive methods of Span ish tyranny under which they have bowed for centuries, that, rather than risk re- turn to old conditions, they will invite the perpetual domination of American ideas by insisting upon the permanent retention of the American flag.
 It will take time to bring all this about years perhaps-maybe decades. In mean time we should deal fairly and frankly with the people of the islands, holding before thet, as a guarantee of our good faith as- surances of ultimate independence when, in the opinion of this government, they are able to maintain a government of their own. They will accept this guarantee, and had 1t been made by the last congress the rebellion against which we have contended for more than a year would never have begun. Millions of dollars would have been saved, not to speak of the thousands of lives which have been lost, the hearts which have been broken, and the homes which have been darxened. It is never too late to do right and it is not too late now to declare our purpose, and when this is done, to work to that end.
 Along these lines the forces for the great battle of 1900 have been formed the bugles have been sounded, and the smoke from the picket lines already announces that the fight is on.

I am in my seventy-third year, and for fifty years I have been great sufferer from indigestion. constipation and bilious ness. I have tried all the remedies adver- tised for these diseases, and got no per- manent refef. About one year ago, the disease assuming a more severe and dan gerous form, I became very weak and lost flesh rapidly. I commenced using pr. Moz- leys Lemon Elixir. I gained twelve pounds in three months. My strength and health my appetite and my digestion were per- fectly restored, and now I feel as young and vigorous as I ever did in my life.
