Wonderful Baby.

"one is never too young to learn" thought a certain mother Of a pre-
cocous baby, an. SO forthwith she began to look upon her twOyearold prod
icy as susceptible Of the highest culture if properly developed The first prac-
teal demonstration Of her theory was when she undertook to teach the baby
al object lesson, using bdghtcolored illustrations of Impossible animals to
accompany and elucidate the text.
And now" she said, turning the leaves Of the picture book, "this is a
chicken. See the pretty chickie? What does chicke do for baby? Chickie lays
a nice fresh egg for babys breakfast every morning"
And baby gurgled and cooed and worked her arms and legs ecdatcahy
over the information.
Then here IS the doggie" said mamma. Mice dogge barks bow-wow-wow
for baby" whereupon baby exhibited a few ideapart white teeth in appre-
citation Of dogdes accomplishments
AND the hOrsie takes baby for a ride; and the % goes moomoo, and
gives baby a nice glass o. fresh milk to drink" and so o. through the whole
category Of animals domestic. and wild. several times. until from thesreauy
wise and intelligent expression in babys face the mother felt sure all the in
ticacies Of the animal kingdom had been mastered.
That evening a visitor called-a rival mamma-and baby was brought in
and properly exhibited and exclaimed over by both fond parents
Isn't she loveyT" said the visitor, thinking Of her own babyss charms
"oh, not lovely" explained the proprietor Of the baby, modetly, but
she is cunning I want you to hear her tell you about the animals She
knows them all. IT is really wonderful what a memory that child has Look
darling see the pretty pictured" and she opened the book conhdingly at the
chicken What is it. darling? Tell the lady what it does for baby"
Baby gurgled jOyOusy. "HOrste," cOoed baby; LAY nice fresh egg for

"Oh. isn't she smart?" said the polite visitor. but the fond mamma said

Mr.. English; I'd love to go. Good
bye, girls" and the couple departed
toward the lake.
II was late afternoon Of the second
day after the preceding conversation
and Marjorie and Alice had just de-
scended in their prettiest dinner
frocks. when the youngest girl came
flying down the long veranda to fling
herself into the arms of first one and
then the other.
You dear ~thingsl" she cried, all
out of breath. ITS all on account Of
you! It just happened, and I could
hardly walt to tell youi"
Did you actually try Tanner Num-

as we said 1t would?"
"Oh, it worked exquisitely, but not
exactly as you promised-a great deal
better-a thousand times better than
you led me to expect"
Tell us quick, you tantalizing
thing"
1T was this very afternoon, about
half an hour ago." began Elizabeth,
perching herself on the arm OF the
nearest chair. Il asked Willie
Brighton to enact the role of the small
boy and the little rogue was only too
delighted. So he hid behind the sofa
in the library, into which / lured
Wif-Mr. English-to Sook at a new
book Of %engravings. Pretty soon we
finished with the book and / asked
him If he didn't want to learn my new
game, just as you told me. He looked
rather puzzled-all the more so prob
ably because l was trembling with
excltement-but agreed to the propo-
sition. So l wound a great big napkin
about his head-he didn't appear to
think it funny that a napkin was ly-
ing about the library-and at the sig
nal Willie tip-toed around and kissed
him twice so loud that I was afraid
the whole house would hear"

only giving a queer, in%articulate kind
Of a cry that must have frightened

jumped out Of the way. Then Mr..
English took a long breath and said,
Why Bessie, you needn't have taken
all that trouble just to kiss an old
fellow like me-. An. in some way he
got my hand and held It tight.

At the Gates Of Night.

There are two gates that guard the
Night;
The one where shadows creep.
And lullabies come grooming low,
Full-throated, soft and deep;
Where twilight reaches forth her arms
TO all by Day oppressed,
And lulls them into happiness,
Serene upon her breast.
And from that gate. an dark ana cool.
The night road stretches far,
BY palaces OF sweet content.
Where many dreamings are:
Where blind may see and dumb may
speak.
And sad ones laugh and sing.
Where hungered ones may drink and
eat.
The pauper be a king.
All through the Night the good road
goes,
Ger valley, plain and steep;
Along It's Sides. IN grandeur. rise
The citadels Of sleep.
And many things there be that soothe
And comfort us. and bless
But best OF an. the blossom fair
OF rich forgetfplnesa.
The other gate that guards the Night
The one that ends the way
Has trumpetera that loudly call
Us forth into the day.
And though we fear the foes OF Day
With bitterness and dread,
We know that through the weary hours
The first gate is ahead.
