THE SNOW STORM.
The night before the storm I was
over to Willie Hume's playing ''Around
the World.' l heard train whistle
and said to Willie, "I'll bet it SHOWS
tonight" l was expecting harder
storm than it was. l was surprised |
when l woke up to see such little
amount of snow. When I went to
school l began to play pull-away.
When we had played little while it
was as dry as if it had never showed.
1t showed until almost time for the
afternoon recess. At recess we went
and tramped it off until it was bare
again, and 1 have not been out yet to
see how it is.
LLOYD MAXWELL.
An exchange gives the following APP
palling facts on literary immortality:
A'Out of one thousand published books,
six hundred never pay the cost of print

one hundred return1 a slight profit, and
fewer still show substantial gain.
Of this number of books, six hundred
and fifty are forgotten at the end of a
year, one hundred and fifty more at
the end of three years, and only fifty
survive for seven years. Man has
been writing books for the last three
thousand years, still there are scarcely
five hundred writer's who have stood
the test of time and of this i've hum
dred there are not more than fifty who
are known to the mass of people of
ordinary intelligence in one country"
LIrERACY GROWING IN THE SOUTH.
One of the most helpful signs in the
South is the marked decline in litter
acy among children from ten to four
teen years of age, as shown by a
teen states along the border and below
Mason and Dixon's line, the gain in
literacy has been nearly seven per ,

olina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala t
bama, Mississippi, and Louisiana,
where the percentage has been reatest t
on account of the black belt and the I
mountain whites, there has Deen Won 7
derful improvement, the gain reaching S
nearly nine per cent. Fully three t
fourths of the children can now read.
Fifteen years ago only about two-thirds Z
