A Boys Conscience.

Every boy, no matter how haSty or
wrong headed he may seem, has in his
heart Il teacher who can always show
him the way 10 do right if he will lis
ten to what it tells him. Where the
voice comes from or who gave it power
to speak in boys heart one cannot
say here, but it is there, and, although
he may refuse to listen to the voice of
his mother or to any outside voice tell
ing him the right and wrong of his ac
lions, he cannot altogether disregard
the still. small voice which is always
with him and which sometimes he can
not refuse 20 hear.
Some writer's OF years ago and some
men ana women OF today believe that
all the religion Il man needs he may
find within himself. This is true so
far that there exists in each of us a
guide which can surely lead us to
choose the right way if we but obey its
injunctiOns. Perhaps the voice may be
very faint at first, but if we try to lis
ten it will surely come and speak loud
er and clearer in the heart of every
boy who wishes to find Il higher better
way than he has ever known before.

stepped about the grass on her long

own nest and her three little ones on
the roof of an old red barn.
Here she gently laid her burden
down and standing on one foot to rest

own children would take to this new
conner. ''''' +'

Missed Her Fan.

A correspondent of knowledge tells
a curious story of Il mare which was
accustomed. while feeding in a field, to
stand under a low spreading branch
of an elm tree, which just touched her
back, and to sway her body to and fro
in order to enjoy the brushing. One
winter the branch was removed, but
the next spring. when the mare was
turned into the field, she placed herself
day after day on the same spot and
swayed backward and forward, appar-
emily at n loss to understand what had
become of her fan.

Then Willie clambered up to the
square hole that served as a window.
'Listen." he whispered. IF he amt

Bonnie, and you and Susie climb up"
Another minute and three curious
heads We're bobbing at the window.
What they saw was a very small
black boy in n calico nightgown, his
woody head rolled back, his tight shut
eyes upturned toward the rafters.

''Oh, you dearest mamma" cried Su-
sic, throwing heT arms around her
mothers neck.
But the minutes few, and the kettle
sang, and the children felt like sing
ing, too. as they hurried back to the
cabin.
When they knocked at the door,
timid hand drew the latch, and star
tied face peered out into the darkness.
Hello, SAM said Willie, and then
nobody knew what to say next.
But Susie danced in and, taking
cup from the basket, began to break
the hot eggs into 1T. 1--WE don't want

eyes, for never before had she seen
such strange creatures. She did not
even put up her lips to cry. for she was
not one of the whining. crying kind.
Pretty soon the good farmer came
out to feed the cows. and. looking up
at the storks' nest, he saw something
that almost made his hair stand on
end. Was it really a baby? Yes, sure
enough! There were a white cap and
part of n white dress. Hecould see them
plainly. He called his good frau to
come and see this strange sight. while
he and the hired man got a ladder and
attempted to mount to the top of the
barn to rescue the stolen child.
But Mrs. StOrk. rs if guessing his in
tention, Sna tched the child in her beak.
rose from her nest and right before
their very eyes flew away. sailing off
into the deep blue sky until she and
her burden were lost to sight. The
good. kind hearted frau threw her
apron over her head and burst into
tears. "Oh, that sweet little baby!"
she sobbed. How its poor, dear moth
er, wherever she is. must be grieving
for it
Now, when the children who had TAX
en- the baby with them to the orchard
came back from their chase after the
rabbit they saw no baby. Where could
she be? They left her sitting under
the grape arhor. She couldn't have got
away by herself, for she wasn't a year
old and couldn't walk. Greta went
one way and Hilda another and Franz
still another searching for the missing
baby, but after awhile they all came
back again to the grape arbor without
her.
They went to the house and told the
mother. oh. what Il crying and sob
bling time there was,
Where. oh, where, was good baby
Suschen.' was the cry-'Baby Sus-
chen, who never cried, but sat all day
smiling and happy? Where was she
now?"
They inquired of all the neighbors,
they searched everywhe but no trace
of her could they find. Never again in
all their lives did they see or hear of
the lost baby.
Late on the same afternoon n small
sailing vessel. carrying a party of la
dies and gentlemen returning from n
fishing trip, was making its way up the
river when suddenly one of the ladies
cried:
oh, Oh! Look at that"
"A stork with n baby cried anoth-
er. ooh. how dreadfuli" And imme-
diately the captain was begged to stop
the boat The stork was coming in
their direction. and perhaps she might
alight on the deck. Oh. if she only
would, and they could save that pre-
ciouS child.
The good captain gave orders to reef
sails and drop the anchor, and by the
time the boat lay still on the water the
stork was directly overhead.
The passengers stood Watching,
breathless, when Suddenly the great
bird let go her hold, and the baby drop
ped to the deck, striking her head on
the boards with terrible -thud that
caused the watchers to turn sick with
dread.
y gentleman Sprang forward and ten
derby clasped the little form in his
arms. Turning its head, he burst into
roar of laughter. 1t was a big rag

No wonder she didn't cry when left
alone under the grape arbor nor when
carried to the nest on the old red barn!

one Of the banks best customers had
over $50, 900 out on bills of lading OF

not surprising. The firm was rated at
