Ray Faust is such tiny morsel

OUR YOUNG PEOPLE
A Careful Girl.

Sleeves to the dimpled elbow,
Fun in the sweet blue eyes,
To and fro upon errands
The little maiden hies.
Now, she is washing dishes
Now, she is feeding the chicks,
Now, she is playing with pussy,
Or teaching Rover tricks.
Wrapped in a big white apron,
Pinned in a checkered shawl,
Hanging clothes in the garden.
o, were she only tall
flushing the fretful baby,
Coaxing his hair to curl.
Stepping around so briskly,
Because she is mothers girl.
Hunting for e~~s in the haymow,
Pettino old Brindle's calf,
Riding Don to the pasture
With manv a ringing laugh.
Coming WIENER you call her,
Running whenever sent.
Mothers Girl is a blessing,
And mother is well content.
Exchange.

When to Cry.

There are millions of little boys
and girls in the world who want to
do just the right thing and the
very best thing. But they do not al
ways know what just the right thing
is, and sometimes they cannot tell the
very best thing from the very worst
thing.
Now I have often thought that
there are little boys and girls who
cry, now and then, at the wrong
time; and | have asked many of the
older people, but none of them could
tell me the best time to cry.
But the other day l met a man
older and wiser than any of the rest.
He was very old and very wise, and
he told me:
''It is bad luck to cry on Monday.
"To cry on Tuesday makes red
eyes.
Crying on Wednesday is bad for
chiIdren's heads and for the heads of
older people.
''It is said that if a child begins
to cry on Thursday, he Or she will
find it hard to stop.
''lt is not best for children to cry
on Friday 1t makes them unhappy.
"Never cry Saturday. 1t is too
busy a day.
Clears shed on Sunday are salt
and bitter.
"Children should on no account cry
at night. The nights are for sleep.
"They may cry whenever else they
please, but not at any of these times,
unless it is for something very seri-
ous."
[ wrote down the rules lust as the
old man gave them to me. Of course
they will be of no use to the boys and
girls who are past six, for those
children do not cry. The wise old
man meant them for the little ones
the millions of little boys and girls
who want to do just the right thing
and the very best thing.-Mary
Elizabeth Stone, in August St. Mich
olas.

self, even in questionable situations.
She went on daring and risking,
futtering about the fatal flame in
reckless manner. Then some day a
scandal blackened her name, and,
whether guilty or innocent, she
found her life marred, and when she
came to herself. she discovered that
she had made a fool of herself

Don't be Fool Just Because You Know
How.

In a recent issue of the Sing Sing
Star of Hope, written and printed
by prisoners, the following ap-
peared:
''Don't be fool just because you
happen to know how"
How many bright boys and girls
get into trouble which ruins their
regulations, and sometimes makes
criminals of them, just because they
"know howl" 1t is so easy. They
want to see what it is like; want to
see if they can do it, not realizing
that every time they do a foolish,
questionable, or dishonest thing it
forges a link in the habit chain,
which binds them, and makes it so
much the harder for them to retract
their steps. Doing wrong becomes a
powerful habit, and each time the
wrongdoer escapes detection he be-
comes more confident, bolder and
bolder. until he takes great chances
and is finally caught.
Lhave known sharp, cunning boys
to steal just to see if thew could do
so without detection, not because
they wanted the things they took.
Burglars have said that there is a
great fascination in planning and
scheming ways and means of getting
into a house in the night; that there
is a sense of triumph felt in over
coming obstacles, and in taking
great chances, which becomes almost
a passion with them. They say that
they feel a sense of great exhilara-
ton, mixed always with fear, when
they enter a room where people are
sleeping. They know that they are
liable to be shot at any moment, and
yet the love of taking chances, of
going to the very edge of the dan
ger. precipice, goads them on, often,
as much as the desire to obtain the
booty.
A second-story burglar, who had
been arrested and tried many times,
and who had served more than twen-
ty-fve years in New York prisons,
once told me that he felt a real pride
in his skill as an expert, in entering
second stories in the night, facing
all sorts of dangers. and experien-
cling all sorts of hairbreadth es-
capes, and that he often did not
care so much about what he might
get as for exercising the love of ad-
venture, the passion to take chances.
He began by making a fool of him
self just because he knew how. He
wanted to see what he could do with
out being detected.
Many girl has met her ruin just
by the fascination of taking desper-
ate chances. She just wanted to
show those who knew her that she
was entirely able to take care of her

Concerning the Indians.

When cold winter days come I like
to read about Indians, their home
life, employment. weapons, etc. !
have few Indian relics: hoe, an
arrow head, a beaded watch case, a
vase, a lizard about six inches long
made of deer skin and covered on
the back with beads. And now I
have learned to weave baskets out
of raffia as the Indians do. One day
last fall We were at hotel and talk
ed with John Deer, the son of an
Indian chief, who is ninety-six years
old. He is an Usage and his home
is in Indian territory. He told us
of their fine forests, good game for
hunting, good schools, and their
medicine man, who is now 1O3 years
old. He gave us his picture. It was
penny with the Indian head. I
have learned about 200 Indian words
some of them from Hiawatha, some
from other books and papers, and one
piece of poetry in their language.
When I am older, I want to 90 to
their reservation. and maybe learn
all their language. Here is the first
verse of "Jesus. my all to heaven is
gone" Jesus ne tie tab We moo win,
Is mix kaka ee to tate; we yak pike
