and we grown persons who build cities
and put little children there to grow
up among stones and iron, are making
stupid blunders.
Well, while God made the flowers He
kept thinking and thinking of the
children, and 10! before He knew it,
He had fashioned one most beautiful
flower that indeed looked like a child
itself, dainty and pure and soft.
Dear little flower said God, you
shall be a playmate for the little HUI
man flowers" And He breathed on it,
and it colored richly purple and blue
and yellow. But still He was not sat

replied one of the wee men, "All you

say:
And never, never go away"
Rain, rain, come to day,
Freddie got out of the hammock and
began jumping, while saying:
And never, never go away"
Grain, rain, come to day,

eye open.
When he first began to say it and

he was; but the more he jumped the
lighter he became. Then he felt him.
self growing shorter and shorter I'M
til he found he was no taller than the
dwarfs on the veranda railing on
which he was standing, or rather
jumping, much to his surprise. In
fact he had become rain dwarf, TOO.
'Hooray!' he shouted; and he and
the other two dwarfs took hold OF
hands, and jumped down on to the
sidewalk, where there were hundreds
of rain dwarfs dancing and throwing
up their arms in great glee.
Freddie was sure that he had never
had such a good time in all his life.
When he was nothing but a little boy
he used to get tired after jumping and
running a while; but now the more he
Jumped and danced about the more
he felt like it.
Pretty soon the sun began shining,
though it was still raining. 1t seem
ed to Freddie that the rain dwarts
were jumping more lightly, and they
looked strange and misty. He began
to feel very queer and so light that
1t wasn't exactly pleasant
Then the rain stopped entirely, and
he found he was jumping no longer,
but that he was floating up, up, drawn
by a very hot sunbeam that had turn
ed him to nothing but vapor.
1t was not long before he found HIM
| SELF above the treetops then above the

He didn't mind the hot sunbeam any
more. and only thought what fun it
was to be up so high, until he began
to wonder how he could get down on
| the earth again, and II he would ever
see his mother and father and sister.
That made him homesick: and he
put his funny, misty hands up to MS
| funny, vapory face and began to cry.
when. presto! he was turned into a
raindrop and felt himself falling
through the air, oh, so fast; and then
he fell thump on the sidewalk. and,
as he bounded back he found he was
a little fat boy named Freddie Brown,
who had gone asleep in the hammock

think that pansies are only flowers.
Yet every child is wise enough to
be able to tell us that every pansy has
a beautiful face of it's own.
This is the story of how the pansies
became little people:
Long ago there was a "once upon a
time" That was long before there
were even any children in the world,
which shows what an unfinished place
it must have been then.
God was only just preparing it for
the children and He was putting beau
tiful flowers into it with loving hands,
for God meant that children and flow
ers should always grow up together;

paths.
Thus the pansies were set apart from
all other flowers. And every child
knows that they are its very, very own.
Now, If you wish to see the wood
land elf in a pansy, but a petal from
each of the flowers in this picture, and
make new pansy. If you cut the
right petals and put them together
correctly, the face of the Pansy
Queen will appear.

The national debt of the United States is equal to only SIP per capita, while that of England is $74; France, $50, and Australia, S263, the latter country having the largest per capita debt in the world The United States d. bt was largest in 1865, when the civil war piled up $2.38l 100000 or $79 per capita. This debt was rapidly paid, and in 1892 it had fallen to $5S0, 900, 900 but was increased to $1,046, ,000,0 by the Spanish war, and has fallen again to about $93O, 100000 ln 1865 the av- craze interest paid by the government was 3 per cent. Now half the debt bears only per centinterest, and this is the only nation in the world able to sell ? per cent bond at par. In 1865 the interest on the national debt was $150,00 900 year, or about $i.29 per capita, and now the interest per capita is only 5 cents year.
