father and the other relatives, and still
needed more. the nurses and others con-

ing a good chance for recovery. but will
still need much more grated skin before

Judge Hawley of the United States
circuit court related recently from the
bench good story at the expense of
distinguished lawyer and United
States senator, whose name was not
mentioned. This prominent member
of the bar was very absent-minded at
times. One morning he was on his
way to court in q great hurry, and
happening to overtake a friend, re-
marked: II dressed inlsuch haste this
morning that / forgot my watch A
little further on he said: ri wonder
if I have time to go back and get it."
and as he spoke he pulled out his watch
from his pocket mo, have not time"
he concluded, after consulting the dial,
and he walked on. Nearing the court
house he hired messenger to go for
I the watch, paying him adollar for the
service. The messenger returned with
the information that the timepiece
could not be found, whereupon the
lawyer exclaimed, looking up from his
books and papers: 'tThat is very
I strange" Then he took a swift glance
at hissWatch and said: 1T makes no
difference, anyhow I can do without
/ it. The judge is late and there is plen-
ty Of time" And he paid the messen-
ger another dollar. d ~, :5 IS & $ y s.H &

him on shore and buried him, carving
his name on stone at his head. When
his mother and sisters heard where he
was buried they came to visit his
grave and mourn for him. His mother
felt that her heart would break, and
his sisters seemed to feel even worse,
if possible, for they stood day after
day, at the. grave by the river. their
tears dropping on the soil at their
feet. Their mother, fearing they
would be i'll, begged them to go home,
but they refused, and stood quite still,
weeping all day. Then she thought
perhaps they would die and she would
have to place them in tomb beside
her son. That was mora than she
could bear, and she implored Jove
to spare her the sight OF her daughters
being laid in grave. He heard her
and granted her request without a
word. When the poor mother looked
at her daughters again their feet had
sunk into the earth, their skin had be-
come hard, and their hair was turning
into green leaves-a moment more
and they had been changed to poplar
trees, but their tears still fell, and as
they fell they hardened and became
amber, which may be found to this
day in the sand by the river.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

ISL Avery, very long time ago there
lived q people called the Greeks who
were SO fond of the fairy stories that
they told them not only to their child
rem, but also to one another; and very
beautiful stories they were, too, all
about the fairies, or gods, ii as they
called them, who lived in the sea, the
mountains, the rivers, the woods, even
in the moon and the sun. III : 80.
v It is of the sun fairy or god, Apollo,
/ shall tell you. He was a very strong,
handsome young man, and his duty
was to drive the sun Chariot car of
gold and silver and jewels-through
the sky. Apollo, like all the other
gods, sometimes took upon himself the
form of human being, and came
among mortals. Once, when he did
this, he fell in love with very beau
tiful woman and married her, but she
told no one who her husband really
was for fear they would not believe
her.. She had three daughters, but
only one son, Phaeton.
When Phaeton grew old enough to
go to school, his companions began to
ask him about his father, why he was
never seen, where he kept himself
and a lot Of such questions which the
poor boy could not answer, for he did
not know his father was Apollo. They
leased him and made him very I'M

that his father was Apollo, the sun
god, who. having to drive the sun

only at night. He could scarcely be-

dreaming of the sun palace away off
in the east, and wondering what it
was like, until he could be still no

see for himself. So, without saying a
word to anyone, he left his home and
ran as fast as he could towards the
rising sun. He was very tired when
he reached it, for it was long way,
but after a time he heard some one
say:
why, my son, what brings you

Phaeton shaded his eyes with his
