when the weather Is clear and the other lit tie boys and girls can go out and play with you.
 A small, solid rubber ball is the best to use, but m old glove stuffed very full of rags and wound very tightly with twine will do very well.
 Show the ball to the dog, and then roll 1t CD the floor once or twice. He will run after 1t almost every time. Then throw the ball against the wall So that it will bounce low enough for the dog to catch 1t in his mouth. After he has done this once or twice he will be so pleased at hls success that he can hardly wait for you to throw It agatn. Now the real game commences. Yon must strike the ball with the open hand only, knocking 1t against the wall so that 1t | will bounce back too high for the dog to reach but just high enough for you to strike 1t and knock 1t against the wall again. This is not at all easy, as you will find out when you try it. for the dog will jump into the air and often catch balls that you had no idea he could reach; besides, the ball will frequently bound back so near the ground that he can get 1t great deal quicker than you can. In fact, If the dog is large he will beat you every time.
 When the dog strikes the ball without catching it he scores foul. but three fouls score him one point. When you strike the ball without knocking it against the wall you count foul, and three fouls score you one point.

Anecdotes of Great Americans.
II.-BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

a soap and candle maker, but his business was not thriving one, as most of the Bos- tonians of that day made their own soap and candles Benjamin had IA brothers and sisters, and, as you can well imagine, Mr. Franklin had very hard time to keep all the children clothed and fed. He intended Benjamin for minister, and so when he was eight years old he was sent to gram mar school" where little was taught but the rudiments of Latin and Greek. This nchool proved too expensive, and Benjamin was transferred to a lower grade of school, where he learned reading and writing. This only lasted for two years, when Benjamin was brought home to assist in earning the family income.
 Benjamin rebelled at soap and candle mak- ing and determined to go to sea. His father would not hear of this course, so little Ben gratified his inclinations in that direction by building and sailing little boats in his spare moments.
 Benjamin's real education cannot be said\ to have commenced until the twelfth year, when one of his grown.up brothers returned from England, where he had been learning the printing trade, and started in business for himself in Boston. Benjamin was ap- prenticed to him. and soon learned type setting and the other rudiments of the trade. This was little when compared to the other chances his position afforded to him, although most boys would not have taken advantage of them. Benjamin, in his now duties, became acquainted with a num- Der of booksellers apprentices, who often loaned him their employers books. These Benjamin would receive in the evening and had to return in the morning early, but he

Have you ever thought of all the money that Is lost? People are losing money all the time, and 1t must go somewhere, you know.'
 Why, of course, 1t must,'' said MT. Hog. How funny that I never thought of that But how can you tell the right place to plant it?"
 'sThat is a gift" said Brother Rabbit, sol emnly. "None but rabbits can tell, and then only one fin a family. Not only that, but there are only three days every ten years that you can make the money crop grow that way. Today is the second. The last day Is the best of all, but the money must be planted over night. Then the next day you will find 50 times as much as you have planted the night before."
 Perfectly marvellous" said Mir. Hog. "Let's try it again.
 You try this time,' said Brother Rabbit. Here is good place." and he showed MT. Hog the place where he had planted the second handful of money. Mir. Hog stuck
The age-herald., 1901-06-09

piece of money in the ground where Mr. Rabbit pointed and said: Money Garden Money Garden! Grow,
 pray.
 Money have planted, and I want it back today.
 Never stop for rain or snow, sun or winters
 frost;
 Gather to my money, money other folks have
 lost"
 Then he dug in great hurry, and found handful of money with the piece he had put in the ground.
 "I have a whole bagful of money here, said MT. Hog, "and am going to put it in this same place and get some more You can never use the same place twice, said Brother Rabbit, but will show you new place if you want to bury your whole bag of money and leave It all night" 'Thats exactly what want to do,' said Mir. Hog
 Brother Rabbit showed him new place. and helped to bury tlie whole bag of money. Then he told him new verse to say when he came back in the morning. It ran: "Money Garden! Money Gardenl Everything
 is right; Money have buried and let it stay all night Money Garden! Money Garden! Gather me
 around Fifty times the money that buried in the
 ground.'
 Mir. Hog learned this perfectly, and told

He took the piece of money out of his pocket and stuck it into the ground where he had buried one of the handfuls of money. Then he said

 today.

 lost
 'Now dig in the ground where planted the piece of money and see what you will find." MT. Hog dug, and In a minute he turned up, first the single piece of money and then the whole handful, which Brother Rabbit immediately put into his pocket. That Is wonderful" said Mir. Hog. Ut seems too good to be true"
 'Oh, It Is very simple,' replied Brother Rabbit; when you find the right place to plant your moneyl and say the right words, some of the money that others have lost gathers around that that you have planted.

would study faithfully most of the night, and thus he acquired useful information and wide range of education in surprisingly snort tune. He never went to school again.
 AS Benjamin showed an aptitude for writ ing verses, his brother had him write ballads apout the events which were just then fore most In the public mind. Though these sold well, benJamn wished to improve in that nhe, ana ne studied the best authors he cocld obtain. They were books that few boys would care to open, but they were treasures to him.
 At length bis brother started a newspaper. which was regarded as a momentous ent, as there were then only two others in Amer ica, Benjamin knew that he would have no chance to contribute to its pages with his brothers knowledge, so he wrote articles and put them in, unsigned, under the office door.
 Soon after the owner of he pa :. as i'm prisoned for month through ha' . printed something against the local government. Benjamin was only 16 years of sgc it the time, but he ran the paper with s.sral suc- cess until his brothers release, when Ben jamin was compelled to continue, though in name only, editor of the paper, for the Massachusetts Assembly ordered that James Franklin should no longer print tho paper" Although Benjamin was now sup posed to be editor of the paper he was stlll his brothers apprentice, and was frequently thrashed for disobedlence
 Benjamin, after enduring this for some time, ran away to New York, where, how. ever, he could get no work. He walked all the way to Philadelphia, 100 miles awayo He reached that town with but q single dols lar, but he soon found employment.
 Sir William Keith, the governor of the province, took quite an interest In Benjamin, and commissioned him to go to England and get acquainted with the London printing trade and to buy press and type Ill ordef to start in business in America. He was to give Benjamin letters of credit and inc troductlon, but the boy never received thems although he sailed for London just the same Here he was forced to go to work at his trade, and remained for some time.
 Philadelphia merchant met Benjamif there and brought him back to Philadelphis with him, and Benjamin again worked if America, in minor capacity. When he was 23 he had gained enough experience and saved enough money to start the Pennsyk yania Gazette, which soon became one of the leading papers in the country. Thie marked the beginning of Benjamin Flanks lin's real career, and his upward steps t6 fame and greatness were gradual but regus lar and certain.

Mir. Rabbit he was his best friend; then h went on to Mrs. Pigs house.
 AS soon as 1t was dark Brother Rabbit came back and dug up all the money; then he smoothed the ground over nicely and planted a rosebush on 1t. As soon as he finished he took every bit of the money home with him and bought all sorts of beautiful things for the little Rabbits.
 MT. Hog came back early in the morning to get his money, and all that the money garden had produced in the night, but he could not find the place where he had buried 1t, for he had never thought of looking under the rosebush, as he knew very well there was no rosebush where he had planted his money. He went almost crazy when he could not find 1t, and told the Pig family all about it. They all looked for 1t, and are looking for it yet. Whenever you see pig or a hog, if you watch him carefully, you can see him root in the ground for Mir. Hogs money-bag.

 Mir. Hog was a great farmer. and raised larger and better crops than anyone else in the nsighborhood. That was because he worked harder than anyone else, and not because bis land was better than the other anfmais', ns everyone supposed. He was very greedy, and always looking out for good barsain-so, when someone offered to buy his farm for q larger price than 1t was worth, he jumped at the chance to sell it. and lost DO time in completing the bargain and receiving the cash, He felt so rich when he saw all the money be had received that he thought he would take holiday for q while. and go to see his sister, Mrs. Pig, for a visit. He put the money he had re- ceived for his farm, together with all he had saved, in q big bag. and started of to Mrs. Pigs with the bag slung over his shoulder He had long way to go. and when he had walked for several hours in the hot sun, with heavy bag of money on his back. he sat dowp by the roadside to rest. He se- leoted soft bed of moss for seat, leaning his back against tree, and he was so com

 Mfr. Hog was snoring at the top of his lungs when Brother Rabbit came along the road. He saw MT. Hog sound asleep with the big bag beside him. He opened the top of the bag and was astonlshed to see 1t full of money. He listened to MT. Hogs snores and laughed softly. Then he took out as much money as he could hold in both hands, and. digging two little holes in the ground, put the handfuls of money in the holes. all but two little pieces, which he put in his pocket. He had just finished filling the holes with dirt when Mir. Hog awoke. He grabbed his money-bag and looked at Brother Rabbit suspiciously.
 ''What are you doing here?" he grunted.
 sLooking for money garden,'' replied Brother Rabbit.
 T never heard of a money garden," said Mir. Hog.
 Well, will show you one," said Brother Rabbit; "this looks like good place.
