Children's Column.
THE BALLAD OF BERRY BROWN.

On, do you know a country lad bv
name Of Berry Brown,
Whor rides upon a load of wood along
the streets of town?
He has a hat turned up in front and
crumpled down behind,
His curly hair so long and fair is
tumbled by the wind,
And through his coat his elbows peep.
and through his boots his toes;
But everywhere and anywhere he
whistles as he goes.
There's something strangely taking
in the eyes of Berry Brown
They seem to flash a cherry light
along the streets of town;
Despite his coarse and tattered vest,
his boots and hat fOrlOrn,
His trousers patched, threadbare, and
sagged, his shirt so old and worn,
For every glimpse he gives he takes
a measure of surprise,
And everybody wonders where the
secret of it lies.
And so his way of sitting there, so
steadfast, calm, and strong;
His air, as if his whistling bore wagon
and wood along;
His independence and self-trust, the
frm-set throat and chin,
The working of his muscles when he
reins his horses in,
Take hold of one and fascinate, as
hints and glimpses can,
When all the glory OLA boy is merg-
ing into man.
Oh, Berry Brown looks careless, but
he holds his secret we'll:
Far hidden in the clouds are heights
whereOn his visions dwell;
Within him somewhere swells a vein
of ancient hero-vim,
And who shall hold him back one
step, or set the pace for him?
Wait, you shall see if poverty can
chain so strong a soul,
Or if to sell his wood can be the
rounding of his goal!
The old folk shake their heads and
say "LoOk out for Berry Brown
When he shall measure forces with
the best boys in the town!
The wind has beat in Berry's face,
the sun has burned his skin,
And winters cruel hand has pinched
where Berry Brown has been
But hearts like his are brave enough
to meet the strokes that form
And fOrtify the giant souls that take
the world by storm !"
Maurice Thompson, in St. Nicholas.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1900-08-28
WAS SHE FREE?
A. Matthews.

When Susie came out of school,
one afternoon, she went home with
Ruth James, because she felt pretty
sure that mamma would want her to
take care of Baby Fred.
"And I'd just be tied down the
rest of the afternoon !" she said to
Ruth, repeating a phrase that she
had often heard her mother use.
At Ruth's she could do almost as
she wanted to, and she had a fine
chance to play. But she did not feel
very comfortable, for she could not
help wondering what mamma would
think of her running off in this way.
And the more she thought about it,
the less she enjoyed her play, so at
last she put down Ruth's beautiful
doll and started for home.
She had found, you see, that we
cannot make ourselves free by run.
ming away from duty, and that
conscience can ''tie US down. quite
as firmly as the task that we dislike
and try to avoid.-Selected.

A THEORY.

81 wonder how Solomon became
the wisest man on earth"
That's easily explained" replied
the man with the intellectual but
worried face. "You see, Solomon
had a large number of families. and,
of course, his children asked ques-
tons, just as all children do. I have
no doubt Solomon was like anybody
else, and had a certain dislike to ex-
posing his ignorance. When one of
the children would ask him some
thing he didn't know he'd make be-
lieve he wanted a drink of water,
and then go out and lookin the back
Of the dictionary. I shouldn't be
surprised if he were compelled to do
this fifty or sixty times a day. Under
such conditions a man couldn't help
getting wise. '-Washington Star.

THE SWEET MoFHERLY SOUL.

A woman who entertains a great
deal says that she is heart, brain,
nerve and soul weary of clever peo-
pie and she longs to know somebody
who neither writes, sings, recites,
toots, fddles, nor even has ideas.
Cleverness runs in families nova
days. Even the household baby is
hauled out at deadly night hours to
do his little turn and the grand
mother of the family is clever. All,
a T and satisfying person to meet
IS the family woman who is not
clever who makes no prentensiOns
to c~leverness who has not prepared
a paper on any of the burning ques-
tiOns of the hour.
Thank God for the woman who IS
satisfied to stay at home and mend
the stockings and make pies and
other good things-make anything,
in fact, provided she is contented
while she is doing it. Probably she
doesn / talk a great deal and doesn I
mind if you do not and doesn't cher
ish it up against you if you>do not
hear what she is : ing, even if you
seem to be listening and are looking
right at her. What a dear, restful
soul she is! She knows good
old tried and true remedies
for ailments and she doesn't
ever ask you whether you want
specifics for your ills or not, but she
just clasps them on, or pours them
in, and bustles around and hangs up
things, and tells you you'll be better
in the morning, and sure enough you
are, dear, unselfsh prophet that she
is! Give us the sweet motherly
soul.-Selected.
