I'VE all believe in it." he said, but
we want to see it brought about at

This boys mother said to him on her
return from long days shopping In
the Thanksgiving season:
Nov, ! hope my little Tommy has

night about charity and unselfishness.
Since he has few troubles of his own
l hope he has thought of others trou-
blCs all day long. Since he has many
causes for Thanksgiving himself, hope
he has tried to give cause for thanks
giving to others. What is my Tommy's
report for the day? How many acts of
kindness has he done? How much woe
has he lightened? How many hearts
has my Tommy made grateful and
glad?"

good young mother. And her Tommy

GEOGRAPHY, AS IT Is TAUGHT.-Lit-
tie Bob was a prize geographer Of the
class, that is, he could locate cities
and bound countries with great glib
ness, says Success. He could draw
the most realistic maps, printing in
the rivers, mountain ranges and the
cities from memory. ROb considered
geography purely in the light of a
game, in which he always beat. but
he never associated 1t with the great
world about him. Rivers to him were
no more than black, wiggly lines, the
cities were dots and states were blots
New York was green, Pennsylvania
was red and California was yellow,
Of course Bob had never travelled
He was born in a village near the
country school he attended One day
the teacher made the discovery OF
Bob's idea OF geography through the
following incident: After vainly in
curing OF several Of the children
where British Columbia is located
she called on Bob. who. as usual, was
waving his hand excitedly. wild with
enthusiasm of pent up knowledge:
1T is on page sixty-eight." he de-
clared.
After the roar had subsided the
teacher explained that that was only
a picture of British Columbia. Their
she asked Bob to bound British Co.
