Instead Of nouns the pronouns stand,

Adjectives tell the kind OF noun,
As great" small "pretty, !"

A proposition stands before
A noun, as Gin" or through" the

Verbs tell of something to be done
To sing" or laugh Jump

How things are done the adverbs tell
As SLOWLY" quickly" "iil" OF

Conjupctions join the words together,
AS men "or" women, wind ''and''

COSTLY GENEROSITY.

Early one morning recently be-
fore inspecting some regiments on
the maneuyering ground the pres
ent "1Ioltke" of the German army,
Count Haeseler, went into the regl-
mental canteen and asked for 3
cents worth of bread and sausage,
such as is supplied 10 the ordinary
soldier. The man in charge thought
he would do himself a good turn by
handing the general an extra large
piece of either luxury. Later IN the
morning, when halt had been called,
