till Miss Kimball wept.
At last the janitor climbed down and un-
screwed the top hatch Of theelevator. Then
he got a small step ladder. and thrust 1t
down. Miss Kimbal climbed to the top OF
the elevator by step ladder, squeezed
through the hole, the jsnitor pulled the
ladder up, set It again, and she was hauled

oeived her literary training from her own
baby daughter Mrs. jackson is a great
believer in the STORY hour and she soon

more interesting than new ones. and that
any change in the wording Of a story was
viewed with suspicion and disapproval.

small audience Of ono and attempting to
satisfy this one impartial critic she learned
to write stories which would appeal to all
children. MB. jackson Is not the only
author who knows that tho child Is the best
OF all critics. Every story in THE Wagner
Story Book was read to many children
before It was printed, and one Of the tales
was entirely rewritten to satisfy the just

emphasizes the STORY hour as an important
time In which strong links are forged TO bind
mother and daughter together, and in which
much may be unoonsciously learned by

An English gentleman OF limited
means had married recently into
very prolific family, says Leslies
Monthly. There was prospect OF an
addition to his household.
Twins" reflected the gentleman.
"are much more expensive to support
than one child" And he sent his
broker to one Of Loyd's underwrit-
ers. The underwater set an aetuary
to look over the vital statistics and
make a few calculations. Then, for
the sum. think, OF twenty-five gum
cas-, he insured the gentleman In 2l,-
coo against the advent of twins.
This somewhat threadbare tale
shows fairly both sides of the game
of insurance. The evident side is
chance The underwater invited a
loss of es7S.15.0 for which he would
have nothing to show. The other
side:
The point of the story is that the
lady presented her impecunious hus-
