Give them in honor of some boy or girl
who never can afford tohavea sletgh-ride or
a party" continued Marion.
Even then we would all want to have
fines enough to secure the party" said Alice
Ward. How would it be to have a regular
tax on all the members that would exactly
cover the expenses of the party or ride, and
let the resolution breakers pay the tax just
the same, but stay home from the party?"
There wouldn't be any party" said Joe
Sanderson. AT least, only the guest of
honor would be there"

and girls are not smart enough to keep reso-

OF course, you all know that there are
schools Of fish in the ocean. If you do
not any fisherman will tell you so, but
n you are not careful he will tell about
all the hsh he has caught, too, and how
much they weighed, and about the whop-

One evening down at the bottom Of the

steamer above fioated down at her feet.
This little mermaid, whose name was
Coralie could read beautifully, without
even stumbling over big words like "con-
tiguousness," so she picked up the big
newspaper and read it all through on her
way home. The paper was full of things
about New Years Day, and she could
hardly believe her eyes. The paper said
that the very next day would be New
Years Day, and the only New Years Day
Coralie had ever heard Of came in the very
middle of the spring You see. up here we

After breakfast the next morning she took
her school books as usual. but instead of
going to school she just went or for a long
swim, Intending TO go to a seaweed grove

Coralie went up to the reacner, and she

their lessons beautifully, and everything

up on the land had New Years Day on a
different day from the mermaids and fishes.
The little herrings looked at each other, and
then they said that, please, ma'am, they
had not got as far as that in their histories
yet.
NO indeed" said the teacher. That was
a very long time ago, before the ocean was
blue. Now. can any little fish tell me Why
the ocean is blue?" Not one single little fish
could tell that, and so the teacher said he
would tell the school and the visitor all about
it himself, and he hoped it would be remem-
bered by them all. Then he cleared his
throat, put the book under one fin and be.

"A very great many hundreds of years
ago the water was not blue as it is now. but
of no color at all, and perfectly transparent
like window glass. 1t was much lighter
down here then and more pleasant, but
there was fearful drawback, which be-
came so serious that it is a wonder there are
any fish now alive to tell the tale. Men
began to eat fish. They eat them now when
they can catch them, but in those days they
did not raise vegetables as they do now, so,
OF course, they had to depend more upon
hsh for food, and, besides fish were much
easier to catch then. The men would sail
out in boat, and lower a long, thin wire
with a moose on the end of it into the
water. The water was so Transparent and
Clear that they could see all the way to
the bottom, and all they had 10 do was to
look for a fish which was taking a nap,
wriggle the wire so that the moose passed
ever the tish's head, and then pull him up.
