A Mother-Geose Problem.

OF course all my cousins, says Fan
ny M. Flynn, Of the Dublin Freeman's
Fire Side Club, can repeat, without
prompting, that charmingly familiar
Mother Goose melody:
Sing a song of siXpence,
A pocket full of rye,
-Four and twenty blackbirds
Baked in pie.
When the pie was opened
The birds began to sing;
Wasn't that a dainty dish
To set before the king?
The king was in his countinghouse
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes;
Down came blackbird
And pecked off her nose.
But leaving the king to the con-
temptation of his money bags, and the
queen to her repast Of bread and
honey, as we'll as the maid with her
shipped off nose in the garden, We
will see how many Of our cousins are
familiar with the correct sequel to the
storX3when the doughty monarch pro.
ceedsN to recover his fugitive black.
birds. We are told that:
With his trusty blunderbuss
The king shot at the birds,
And from that flock Of twenty-four
He bagged about two-thirds.
Three twenty fourths Of what was left
Fell as he fired again,
So of that flock of twenty-four
How many did remain?
I really cannot say that have ever
seen any attempt to answer this
query, despite the fact that it is no,
so mathematical as it looks. So a
prize story-book will be given to the
quickest and keenest Of our puzzlers
who sends the correct answer.

MAY WE'D A PRINCE.

Mr.. Porter, the United States Ambas-

State department that the grave OF
John Paul Jones has been discovered
In Paris. II there Is no mistake In the
Identification Of the grave Congress
should not hesitate to take prompt ac-
tion for reburial In this country and the
erection OF fitting monument to the
memory OF the great sea fighter who
was the first TO make the Stars and

hero has more worthlly earned the

INNOCENT CHILDHOOD.

The Story of Little George aud His Uncle
frou California.
One fne bright morning, as little
George Pillgarlic and Benjamin Butter
nut were playing marbles in the vacant
lot that was around the corner from
their homes, an old man came to them.
Good morning my lads" quoth he.
"And what might gOur names be, could
askr' "Sure you can askw promptly
exclaimed little George, merrily hook
ing marble while Benjamin was not
looking. Getting an answer, sir, is
where you win have trouble"
Go get IA hair cut" said little Benja-
min triling happy laugh.
Get them al cut, sir" earnestly
cried little Gorge; "oae is as bad as the
other" And with shout of laughter,
for he was boy Of high spirits, he
dashed a large COB of mud in the old
mans eye. Little Benjamin quickly
followed the example Of his merry
mate, ana when the mud gave out the
lads were not above taking plain
ish glee, the marbles were forgotten as
they pelted the Old man. That noon. as
little George wendell his way home
ward, for he was lad that had never
to be called to his meals. he thought OF
the old man, and wondered who he
could have been. No sooner had he
entered the house than he heard his
mother call him.
Come, George, your dear uncle from
far-of California is here and wishe.

The old man that George had petite,

And did the rich uncle put the gol,

Gorgie's mother what a bad boy he
son had been? Not in many thousan,
years, little reader! He gave llttl
George the gold watch and many othe

when his visit was over he begged har
that little George be permitted to Q

BAD MEMORY A FAULT.
Practical Man Says Forgetfulness /
Mainly Due 10 Laziness.

Practical Man Says ForgetfuIness Is
Mainly Due TO Laziness.
A successful business man said that
there were two things which he learned
when he was Is and which were ever
afterward of great use to him-namely.
never to lose anything and never to
forget anything.
An old lawyer sent the young man
with an important paper, giving him,
definite instructions what to do with it,
But" inquired the young man, sup
pose that l should lose it, what shall 1
do then"
you must not lose it." said the
lawyer, frowning.
Il don't mean to-" said the young
man, but suppose should happen to-"
But l say you must not happen to-
/ shall make no provisions for such an
occurrence. Yon must not lose it,"
This put a new strain of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do thing
he could do it. He made such a provi-
sion every contingency that he never
lost anything.
He found this equally true about
forgetting. If a certain matter of i'm
portance was to be remembered, he
pinned it down on his mind, fastened
it there and made it stay, He used to
declare:
when a man tells me that he forgot
10 do something l tell him he might as
well have said: 4 did not care enough
about your business to take the trouble
to think of it again

him that would not answer. If he was
sufficiently interested he would be care

led him with this truth.

during the last year Of the three he was
utterly changed in this respect. He did
