About the Lombardy Poplars.

Do you know how oddly the boughs of
the lombardy poplars grow? Straight up in
the air, looking for all the world like an
umbrella turned inside out by the wind. In
the world of fancy there is a reason. for
this, and here 1t Is.
Some one had stolen the pot of gold said
to be at the end Of the rainbow. The wind
messengers were sent to seach for it. The
elm, oak, pine and all THE trees had been
asked if they knew the thief. All pointed
their leaves toward the poplar. saying, The
poplar knows"
Il known" asked the poplar In pretended
surprise. why, how should i know?"
Just then the pot of gold was seen shin
ing through its leaves. The wind messen-
gers at once seized upon the gold, and as
punishment the poplar was doomed to for
ever hold its arms in just that position
that it might be a warning to the other
trees in the forest.
1t seems rather pity to tell such a
story of so beautiful tree But 1t doesn't
hurt the tree. after all, and as nobody be-
lieves 1t no harm is done. We are amused
by the story, and may be more interested
in observing the poplar because of it.

every woman there realized that she was
the mother of the unfortunate child. A
foor-walker made his appearance at the
same time and tried to drive back the
crowd, which every minute was growing
more dense. He soon learned the cause of
the disturbance and took the child and her
mother one side, saying quietly, only a
mouse, Why. that is nothing at all. Just
let me see what 1 can do to send Mr.
Mouse about his business Perhaps you
will become famous for having accidentally
discovered such novel kind of mouse trap
Who knows?'
Rays screams ceased when she discov-
cred that deliverer was at hand. Very
limp and very white she sat on the same
bench where few minutes before she had
been so entertained. The foor-walker put
his longest fingers up the guimpe sleeve,
and to Rays great joy drew out her furry
visitor.
Then you should have heard him laugh
"Ha. ha, hal" Then you should have
heard how quickly sounds of merriment
came from the onlookers who a few min
utes before had been trembling with fear
did you ever hear anything so absurd?)
Rays mouse was nothing more awful than
a silver-mounted rabbits foot, intended for
a charm" This had been among the
other articles on the bargain table, and in
some way became entangled in the lace in
Rays sleeve and worked its way half way
up to her elbow.
When Ray realized what her mouse was
she looked very foolish. She was so re-
and had no tail that she did not mind
papa's teasing when he heard of the adven-
ture. 1t was many months before she
would go into the store, where papa de-
clared she had forgotten to be a little lady
and become a mouse-trap instead.

mice are found similarly wanting. don't
see any way out of your trouble, Ray. You
must cultivate a taste for mice tails Peo-
pie eat frogs legs. you know, ana VINO

fond of tails you will ask mother TO give
them to you instead of breakfast food
"Ughr shvered Ray Il wish you
wouldn't talk such nonsense. papa This
isn't April FOOLS day"
Not long after this conversation Ray ana
her mother went into the city to do some
shopping At first Ray was interested In
everything she saw, but after an hour or
SO she wished herself back In her own
shady yard, watching the birds and bugs
and other delightful folk that dwell In the
country Finally she grew so tired OF going
from one counter to the other that she
asked her mother IL she could rest on
bench that was placed at the entrance to
the stairway. Her mother gave her con-
sent. as she had lot OF shopping 10 do IN
the basement, the kind of shopping that IS
uninteresting TO a child. Ray enjoyed
watching the crowds of people hurPying

SOME STORIES OF FLOWERS AND
TREES.
A Legend of the Snow Drop.

After Adam and Eve had been sent from
the Garden of Eden there were no flowers.
Failing snow covered ali the beautiful
green earth. An angel. plying Eve, came
down from heaven to say kind word and
give the weeping woman hope and comfort.
Just as the angel spoke a snow flake fell
upon his hand.
I've. Eve!" said the angel. This little
snow flake shall take: a flower form before
thine eyes. And 1t shall bud and blossom
for thee" Then the snow fake fell from
the angels hand, and as it fell 1t turned
into a beautiful flower.
Eve dried her tears and bowed her head
for joy, for the angel said to her: Take
heart, dear Eve. let this give you hope. Let
it be to you sign thaE by and by summer
will come again"
Then the angel went away. but all around
where he had stood there sprang up
ring of beautiful snow drops.

Instantly her mothers heart told her that

were correct.
