A BOY WE KNOW.

That summer day, from early dawn, his hours in
play were spent,
The other fellows came at eight and all on fun
were bent;
They dug a cave, they built fort. went rafting
on the creek,
Played Indian in the meadow lot baseball and
hide-and-seek.
At noon they picnicked on the lawn, luncheon
fit for kings,
HczEe
to swim,
Then dinner came, and all the boys were asked
to dine with him;
And after that the fun went on; twas such a
glorious day
1t seemed as though they'd never get one-half
enough of play.
At nine o'clock they called him in; twas surely
time, they said,
For little boys as tired as he to tumble into bed
And though he vowed he wasn't tired, and beg
ged they'd let him stay
Outside for just an hour or SO, to finish up his
play"
They ordered him to bed at once, in firm but
kindly tones,
Nor needed that he filled the house with dismal
howls and moans,
Nor that he shouted from the stairs, through all
his tears and CRIME,
"I never have-Boo-hoo! Boo-hoo lone bit of q
good time." -Ett&0beth SytUesteT.

ELOQUENCE OF AN INDIAN.

by the chiefs of the various clans of
the Seneca Nation, by whom Mrs.
Converse was adopted when but lit

looking Indian with hair streaming be-
low his broad shoulders, said:
Il am not a Seneca, but l come of
the Denikee tribe. l know the Great
White Mother as every redman in this
dams religion, the true religion. 1t
is founded on the true God. Our God
touched this woman'S heart, and she
understood us. She was the angel of
God. We may not have a Christ in
our religion, but we have a mediator,
and she was the great mediator be
tween the whites and the Indian. We
see our God-we hear our God. We
see him in the trees, in the rivers and
even in a blade of grass, just as we
hear him in the rustic of the leaves in
our forests. Ours is the God of ma
ture. She was a leader to US. She
inspired us to better things. We loved
her, and now she is gone from us. But
while we are sad it is for US that we
are sad, not for her, because we are
left alone. l think ours is the sweet

From Tit Bits.


Among the lower animals those that
undergo a metamorphosis before reach
ing maturity are very often smaller
when grown up than when in the
larval form. This is especially the case
with insects, and with butterflies and
moths the rule is practically univer-
sal.
Take, for instance, the case of the
largest British moth, the death's-head
hawk moth the caterpillar when full
grown attains a length of about five
inches, whereas the total length of the
moth itself seldom exceeds two inches.
With butterflies this difference is, if
anything, still greater, for the cater
pillar is often as much as three times
as big as the size of the perfect in
sect, bulk for bulk. With many ami
mails belonging to the crab family the
mature male is not only smaller but
vastly inferior to the larval form, be-
ing destitute of almost every impor-
tant organ except those of reproduce
ton. These animals are known as
cirripedes, and include the well-known
barnacles and acorn shells of the sea-
shore.

 There are two minor stomachs beyond the main stomach of the sperm whale, but it may be presumed that the pra- phet made no attempt to explore these. Why the creature should possess so complicated a digestive apparatus mo- body knows, but probably it is ain in- heritance from ancestors who were land animals. There is no doubt whatever that the remote forebears of all modern whales lived and walked on dry land. Some of them actually have rudimenta- " thigh bones, and even now the un- born cetaeean is clothed in hair, which disappears later.

 My very first lesson in that game was when was in the habit of going to a Brooklyn church every Sunday morning to report the sermon for practice.

A Sight That Surprised the Police

S.Ef .. 7E&StF A Sight That Surprised the Police man. s...~.
 Three automobilists who had started homeward from the Washington Park club house early yesterday morning ended an exciting ride in the south la goon in Washington Park. In the gloom the three figures-those of two men and woman-were silhouetted against the blackness of the miniature lake about them when found by a policeman, and water was rising above the seats on which they stood as the guests sunk deeper in the mire of the lagoon bot tom. Attracted by q prolonged cry of dis tress, the policeman hurried to the scene, and he was considerably pug zled at the sight of three dark forms looming above the water some distance from shore. At first he thought the vic tims were standing on a raft or boat. but as the shadows shifted glimmer of polished metal work furnished en- lightenment.
 When the policeman arrived all three members of the party tried to talk at once. and it was some little tme before he could gain an explanation. The chaffeur had sought the highest part of the sunken machine and was holding to the steering wheel for sup port. His companions were struggling to keep as much out of water as possi- ble.
 Can't you get us boat?" finally asked one of the men.
 The boathouse is closed until morn ing, replied the officer.
 Then couldn't you get 9 team of horses and drag us out of this?'
 That's impossible, too replied the policeman. The sprinkling cart barns are locked up"
 On the upper deck of the automobile whispered council was held and then one of the men let himself down into the water He was followed by his com panion, and, supporting the woman on their shoulders, the two automobilists waded ashore.
 In an effort to prevent the news of their disaster being traced the owner of the automobile tore off one of the nu- morals of the license number. The
 missing numeral was found later, and when replaced the license number of the vehicle read s42.--Chicago Record Herald. apa ff.. . !.
