Thank YOU"

Everybody likes little Carl Ros-
he is 80 cunning and
small and fat. He has lived in
America Just little while, and he
can speak only two English words;
but it sounds so funny to hear him
say, THANK you!" to whatever is
said to him that no one can help
smiling. | think this is the reason
that he gets cookies and slices of
gingerbread at every house where
he is sent on an errand.
One day Carl was trudging along
with a basket, and was droll lit
tie figure with his chubby legs aud
round fat arms. Some boys play
ing marbles on the pavement were
quite amused at this comical sight
and they began to laugh and
shout, Sausage bags"
Now Carl did not understand a
word; but he saw they were speak
ing to him, so he turned his dear
little face to them with the sweet
est of smiles and said, "Thank YOU. "
You should have seen how
ashamed the boys looked then.
One of them smiled and nodded at
little Carl; another gave him II nice,
red apple; while another took his
big basket aud carried it for him.
So the good-naturcd little fellow
trotted off thinking what kind
boys they were, and what n pleas
ant world this is to live in. Per
haps we should all think so, too, if
our tcmpers were as sweet as his.

tomtoms, and whistles. The horns are
OF solid ivory, made by following out
elephants tusks. The mouthpiece is
at the side. These trumpets are OF all
sizes, but the favorite ones are very
long and give seven distinct notes, pro-
duced by plugging the mouth with
corks Of various sizes The ordinary
tomtom Is hollow log OF wood, with
goatskin stretched over one end.
The following instance will illustrate
the way In which these native tele-
phones are employed: The post COM

Staid and sober A little while ago as
he was walking along one Of the boule-

him and asked him il he had ever lived

business man said he never had, but
when he used to be a commercial trav-

he was it, and begged permission to re-
