A BUTTERFLY IN
Little white comrade, down the dusty

Under the shadow Of buildings tall

Is your tiny life a message from

Do you ever seek the dream thai waa
born in your heart to be?
Glover and sunlight, daisies and vino
and sea!
Where will you pause to rest those
spirit wings?
Clovers? The city knows not Oh
these things;
Only the pavement stretching dull
and gray.
Only the crowds surging their end

Somewhere the summer lies with Its
depth Of blue,
The dune1grass sways, as the sea-

And bobolinks are singing in the sky!

A LAMB THAT LOVED OLIVE.

A few years ago my little six-yeas.
old Olive was presented with q young
lamb which was brought up by hand.
and which soon became a great pet
He quickly grew to love Olive and her
little brother, and was often let out
of the pen where the sheep were kept
to become an interested participant
in all their romping games.
AS the warm days Of May came On
it became necessary to drive the
sheep to q distant pasture, but Olive
pleaded SO earnestly for her pet that
she was finally allowed to keep him
at home. At about the anne time
Olive and her brother began to at.
tend the district school. The lamb
missing both his four-legged and two
legged friends, Immediately became
very lonesome and inclined to stray
from home. so that it was thought
best to tie him to an apple tree not
far distant. But poor Dickany rebelled
at this indignity and bleated inces-
sanity.
One day he broke his rope. and We
found him in the back room chewing
his cud and peacefully standing By
Olives old familiar dress, which hung
low down upon q nail.
This gave US an idea; and. when
Dickany went back to the apple tree.
the dress went too. and was hung on
q branch where he could reach it.
After this the lamb stopped bleat-
ing and led q very quiet and happy
life, wearing his rope with patience
In school hours, and bounding and
jumping with Joy when the children
returned at night.-Christian Endeav

drought. The springs dried up. a1d
The streams became trickling rills or
disappeared altogether. The cattle
wandered r~estlessly W the range in
search Of water. Teddy's father sent
to the nearest town and had men
coms with steam drills and iron pipes
to bore an artesian well, SO that
there would always be plenty Of water
tor cattle. They bored down several
hundred feet in hopes Of finding an
underground stream, but they could
not do 30, and had to give up the
quest. They went away, taking their
tools with them, but leaving-what
greatly interested Teddy deep hole

the board on the pipe and peer down.
and then drop in a rock and see how
many he could count before it struck

mamma. He said: Last winters

day he walked over to where the men
had bored for the artesian we'll. He
peered into it, but it was as black as

dry prairie grass. rolled it in q small
piece Of birch bark in which he had

and watched 1t blaze - It fell down
