his work on finance Is really compila-

amusing incident occurred while he was

A Snow Table.

1t was showing. Slowly and silently
but steadily the snow was coming down.
-Four little faces looked out of the library
window, watching it.
"Oh. dear. it is just too bad' said
Ted, the oldest. Il wish it would stop.

But mamma won't let US go out until
it does stop" said Frances. 80 we might
as well play with our dolls. Come on,
Grace"
After they had gone, Ted and Harry
still stood looking ut the snow 1t was
hard 70 be shut in a whole day.
Mamma had an old table that she had
used last winter for flower table. 1t
had deep box on top, lined with zinc.
This year papa had had a small con-
Seryat0ry built, so it wasn't in use. 1t
stood on the piazza in front of the Ii
brary window. The snow was fast piling
itself upon the window ledge and railing,
and the table was nearly full Of the soft.
feathery stuff, when IA bright thought
came to Ted.
~Oh say. if mamma would only let us
go out on the piazza. we could have lots
of fun. We could move the table up in
the corner where the snow doesn't come.
and have snow table instead of Il sand
table, such as we have in the nursery.
We could make fine things out of the
snow. 1t looks just soft enough to mold
nicely"
OF course the girls wanted to go also,
and as there We're just four children and
four corners to the table, there was ii
corner for each one.
Mamma said yes when they asked her.
and coats and hats We're quickly on.
Such fun as they had,
Ted made Il beautiful park in his cor
ner, with a statue of Gen. Grant--at
least he said ii was. but ii looked eX-
actly like an ordinary snow man, only
very. very small.
Harry made Il fort in his corner. and
had piles of cannon balls not much larger
than big buttons. Frances had house,
with the grounds around it laid out in
Welding drives and PATHWAYS
Grace made a tohoggan slide, and had
little tobOggans, made of cardboard, for
her tiny doIs.
They played Il long while. only going
in once in awhile to warm their fingers.
for You can't mold things with gloves
or mittens on. At last they had to go
in, II was getting late. and mamma was
afraid they would catch cold. The snow
had stopped now, and a fine rain was
coming down.
1T will be all gone. and it did look so
pretty. | wanted papa to see it," sighed
Grace.
But the next morning when they went
TO look ut their snow molding. what do
You think had happened? why the
rain had frozen all over everything. and
there were the park and fort and house
looking as if they were made of solid ice
Papa was called to come and see it.
and he thought they had done wonderful
things with their snow modelling. As the
weather remained cold and the table
was in the corner away from the sun. it
