A LITTLE BOY FLOWER.
The Pretty Notion of the Baby's Po-
 etic Little Uncle.


 This is the story of q little California boy who thought he would like to be f]ower-at least that is what his six yearold uncle thinks he thought The two little boys, the little uncle and the baby, had been playing together all morning. X California garden is beautiful place to play in, so it is no wonder that they felt very happy. And presently the little uncle climbed up on top of one of the big porous water jars which are used for cooling water to drink. Then the little uncle was called into the house suddenly, and Baby Ward must have decided that he want el to get up into that great jar, quite i hit taller than he was himself.
 So when the little uncle came out of t&e house again he found his haby tpheW trying and trying to climb up to the ta2 of the iar. The little uncle caught up fhe fahy aaI Eeld hill oa tep of the .iaf, but that Gidn,t satisfy King E:,by in the least. " anG by lhe little uncle real zcd tsat the haby wanted to get Inside the jar. &I,I ha lifted the child and placed him ia posi- ton. Then, as the baby's Le"d WAS some distance beneath tie top of He Jar, and the baby voice cried to he lifted, the little uHcle found q big stone for the baby to stand o.I
 "Nhy do yer suppose the child want ed 10 get in the iar:" puzzled 1he iaahy's mother and grandmother when the little uncle had summoned them t.om the hoase to see how sweet lis dear little nephew looked in the strange new position.
 T think. answered the Iitlie unele, watching the baby reach toward tEe big, lovely bush of mar%ueritcs or white golden hearted daisies which stood near, that he loves flowers so much that he wanted to be a nice lit tlc flower boy himself, and he thought il l put him in water, as we do the flowers, maybe he'd grow te he one"
