We seem to be in the way OF making
ourselves ridiculous. Germany Just
now is overrun by Mormon missiona-

their protectors. Not long ago the Ger

the clergy, but at the earnest request
of our diplomatic representatives those
notices were temporarily withdrawn.

The Modern Child,

The modern child is the most dis

the other day undertook to entertain
small neighbor Of mine while her
mother passed the afternoon in bed
with a sick headache. Naturally, 1 as
sumed that the little girl would enjoy
looking at a prettily illustrated book
of fairy tales which had just come into
my possession. She took the book po-
litely, and sat down to look at the pic
lures. When looked up she was star
ing at me with a question in her eyes.
Seeing me disengaged, she put it into
words:

she, pointing out, or rather indicating,

wash drawing of Titania and her at
tendant fays. They're very pretty,
