THE FRESH AIR CHILDREN.

In crossing the ferry little boy
who was going to the country for the
first time stood on the upper forward
deck and looked thoughtfully toward
Jersey City. Noticing that he kept
apart from his friends and was much
absorbed in thought, the missionary
in charge of the party put her arms
around the child and said:
What are you thinking Off"
'Is dat de country over dere?"
asked the child, as he raised his thin
little arm in the direction of Jersey
City.
No. that is the city. The country
is miles and miles beyond that
The little boy turned to the mis-
sionary and, with a smile of relief,
said: Pm glad that amt the country,
'tause if it was 1 wouldn't go. Dat
place over dere is the place where the
bad boys go when they die, amt it?"
The missionary looked puzzled for a
moment, but caught the chi1d's mean
ing when a bright flame shot up from
the gas works of Jersey City and light
ed up the sky.-New York Tribune.

BENNY ON THE KANGAROO.

The kangaroo is an animal with four
legs, but it only uses half of them at
a time. This is because it's front legs
amt of much account. What it does
not have in front legs is makes up in
hind legs. The reason why the kanga-
roo stands up straight like man is
that its tail is too heavy for it, and
kind of pulls the head up in the air.
l have heard it said that if you cut
off kangaroo's tail the tail will grow
another Kangaroo, but the kangaroo
cannot grow another tail. Once there
was a man who drew a kangaroo in a
lottery. When he found he could not
ride the animal he traded it for a
bicycle, which is far more useful and
you do not have to feed it. Let us
learn from this not to be cast down
when obstacles rise before us on our
pathway through life, and if we are
good and obedient to our teachers we
will succeed. The kangaroo does not
walk like a bird or a human being,
but Jumps I would rather be griz-

The negro is sometimes good deal
mixed regarding relationships, as the
following incident illustrates:
A lady had negro cook who must
have been 20 years of age, but who,
in spite of her years, was fine in the
business" when it came to cooking.
Another coIored woman of advanced
years was in the habit of coming to
see the cook, and one day the lady
said:
'Dinah. who is that old colored
woman l sometimes find in the kitch-
en- with you?"
Dat ole 'ooman, missus? Oh, she's
jess a relationship of mine"
What kind of relationship,
Dinah?'
''Well, she's-she's-wel1, guess
she's my sistah-in-law."

in-law? Don't you know"
