The schoolroom presented a very attractive appearance, having been prettily decorated with a profu- sion of bunting, garlands, chains, crosses and bouquets of daisies and roses. The carefully prepared pro- gram was rendered in so creditable a manner by all that it would be unfair to discriminate, but especial mention is due Miss Alice Cornell in the excel lent exhibition she gave, by request, of the use of the Indian clubs.

day, at last they sent him to New
York with several commissions, one Of
which was to buy some corn. They
anXiously awaited his return, fearing
he would make some mistake. When
he reported his days work, they were
pleased with the price he paid for the
corn, but were doubtful about the quail.

his pocket. But they were very much
disturbed when they found out the boy
had bought twice as much as they had
told him to.
"We shall lose money on it," they
said.
ooh, no. replied the boy. II sold all
you will not need for good profit.
and he took out fat roll of bills.
WELL said his employers, after they
had talked the matter over, 1--WE think
we will get some one else to do the
Office work and will take you into the
business with u.s."
That was the beginning of a life OF
continued successes.
