Here is AN extract from a girls
essay: "People are composed of boys
and girls, also men and women. Girls
are young women who will be ladies
when they graduate. Boys are an
awful bother; want everything they
see but soap. If had my way half
the boys would be girls and the other
half DOLE. My mamma is woman
and my dad boy. A woman is
grown up girl with children. My pa
is such nice man that I guess he
must have been girl when he was a
little boy"

A King md Il Miller.

Every reiGnlnG member Of tho Hob
lenzOlern dynasty has been noted for
\ his sense Of fair play in dealing with
his subjects.
1t is said that the Emperor Frederick
the Great was greatly annoyed by the
presence Of a -four mill that stood
CLOSE by one of his palaces in Berlin
The miller refused to sell his mill
and insisted that he should retain pos
session of ii as long as he lived. Tho
emperor stornNed at him without avail
and finally threatened to drive the
miller out by force and confscate h7
property.
The dauntless miller replied to hi.
Threat by saying. There are still
1ndges in Berlin, your majesty"
This reply, which has since become
FAMOUS throughout Germany, impress
ed the emperor so favorably that he
withdrew both his threat and his re,
quest, and the flour mill is standing to
this day. F%''v-

~ When the Worm Turned.

In a little town there dwells man
OF, exceedingly shiftless disposition,
and recently he got his "comeup-ance.'
His wife had borne with his shiftless'
ness for some years. Sometimes she
scolded him sharply but it had no eff
feet So long as he could shuttle down
to the village store and gossip with
not care for Il sharp tongue.
He ,.avcr worked. and the wife sup
ported her husband and did the house
work. cooking good meals for his lazi-
ness to ereedily dcvUur. One day he
had chance TO work and did not take
it. His wife heard about it and gave
him piece of her mind. but be receiv-
ed it as stolidy as ever. He went down
to the store that morning, as usual, as
placid and as self satisfied as ever.
When he returned at noon, a strange
sight greeted his eyes. The house was
empty. bare as Mother Hubbard's cup
board. He Went into the bedrooms.
Bedsteads, bureaus. all the furniture,
the curtains, everything had been re-
moved. 1t was the same baroness down
stairs. lie crcpt into the kitchen, hop
ing that there at least he might nnd
something comfortable. Here. too. emp
tiness greeted him. but directly In the
center Of the floor was a little white
mug. and on it in Gilt letters We're the
words, Think of me-
