FOR LITTLE FOLKS.


l suppose there are not many boys
and girls who read The Record who
have not heard of Charles Dickens.
Probably you have had 'The Christ
mas Carop' read to you and know all
about Bob Cratchett and Tiny Tim and
just how the steaming pudRing looked
when Mrs. Cratchett brought it In that
Christmas day. If you had been in
Washington ON the Sd of February.
1868, you might have heard Charles
Dickens himself read the story. The
people crowded to see him and were SO
enthusiastic that they could not APP
plaud the reader enough.
There was one member Of the au-
dience, however, who showed his APP
probation in very strange way. While
Dickens was reading he suddenly saw
dog jump up from the seats in the
middle aisle and look at him very close
ly. No one else seemed to notice the
dog, but Dickens felt very sure that he
would presently turn up again and
bark. He was such a comicaI looking
little fellow that Dickens was very
much amused, so that when not very
long after the dog did jump up and
bark, keeping his eye on Dickens all
the time, Dickens laughed so heartily
that he soon had his entire audience
laughing with him.
The next night Dickens was reading
from David Copperfield" and in the
midst of his story felt sure that he
heard smothered bark One of the
ushers, 1t seems. had happened to look
down and had seen the intruder of the
night before on the point Of barking.
Quick as wink he seized the dog and
threw the little fellow over his head to
the ticket taker in the hall, who drove
him away.
Such treatment would have discour-
aged most dogs, but this dog was evil
IDENTIFY very fond of stories and very
persistent. for the next night he came
again. and this night he brought an
other dog with him. By this time how
ever, the ushers were on the lookout, so
neither one got In.
This interested Dickens so much that
he wrote letter to his sister-in-law
describing the incident and added that
in his opinion the first dog had promis-
ed to pass the other dog free.--E. A. II.

Did you ever stop to think of the
possibilities of grain of wheat? We
are so used to seeing the field sown
with wheat and the crop come UP and
ripen that we quite forget how each
little grain does great work through
the summer days in multiplying and
adding to the farmers harvest. A
farmer near Phenix, A. t., planted one
grain of white Australian wheat, and
at harvest time from it had sprung
1850 grains Of large, fat wheat. He
planted 10 acres of this wheat and har
vested 1T sacks, each weighing 1873
pounds. The single grain spoken of
produced SO stalks, so you see even a
grain of wheat helps wonderfully

He serves his country best
Who joins the tide which lifts her nobly on.
For speech has myriad tongues for every day,
And song but one. and law within the breast
Is stronger than the craven law on stone;
There is a better way
He serves his country best
Who lives pure life and doeth righteous deed
And walks straight paths however Others stray
And leaves his sons, uttermost bequest,
A stainless record which all men may read;
This is the better way.

In an out-of-the-way part Of West

his misery habits, in order to rave the
candles, used to give the farm hands
their supper in semi-darkness.
The iaborers grumbled at this, but
the farmer took no notice. Things
went on much in the same way for
some time, till the farmer had occa-
sion to hire another farmland, named
Tam Waring.
Tam, who was well known to some of
the other laborerS as a wild and reck-
less sort OF character, and always ready
for mischief, was informed how mat
tiers stood.
That night at supper, which consist
ed Of portage. Tam took his seat on
the right-hand side Of the farmer, and.
watching his opportunity, quickly
plunged a spoonful Of hot porridEe in

Jumped up with q roar Of agony. ana
