NEW YORK. April 10.-In the course
Of his sermon in Plymouth church,
Brooklyn. the Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills referred to the gift of 100000
made by John u. Rockefeller TO the
American board of foreign missions
and to Mr.. Rockefeller's son. He said
in part:
The saddeSt words that have been
written in this generation were spoken
before Brown university by a young
man who is to inherit one of the great
est fortunes in This country. They
were spoken i'm defense of the trusts.
Listen to them. The American Beauty
rose can he produced in all its Splendor
only by sacrificing the early buds that
grow up around it,
''The rose has 1000 buds. and in or
der 10 produce the American Beauty
the gardner goes around it with II
knife and ships 999' in order that all
the strength and beauty may he fore

argument this yonng man tells the
working classes brutally that 800 small
business men must he Snuffed out Of
existence in order that his American
Beauty. the trust, may be produced.
Listen to Christ. Let the strong bear
the burdens of the weak" and again.
Give and it shall he given unto you
These words in defense of the trusts
nre the most heart breaking things in
literature TO those who know what is
going to come in the future. Can You

TALE OF A SPECTACLED DOG
Veracious Account of How a CoWardly
Canine Was Trans
formed

James Keene of Greenwood Me, owns
a mongrel pup that has enjoyed the
reputation of being whipped by every
canine in the village. From all
the cross streaks of heredity the
animal failed to receive the impress
from any battling forbear and was ac-
customed to lie supine and take its
thrashing with only a series of Whirn-
pers. His master was used to this and
did not mind it. But when he found
that his pets eyesight was failing he
provided a pair of spectacles with disks
of magnifying glass.
When once the proper magnifiers had
been selected he turned the dog loose
and was amused by the creatures at
tempts to evade everything from a fly
up. For insects loomed very large
through the glasses and a common cur
assumed tremendous proportions. One
day the dog freed himself from The
spectacles, and was rejoiced to find that
every quadruped he met appeared by
contrast to be almost minute.
Even his cowardly nature could not
forego the chance of having trouble
with such triflng antagonists, and to
his masters establishment he began
laying low everything on four legs in
the village.
Once assured he was a victor, moth
ing could stop him, and today he is
the acknowledged champion of the
township.-New York Times.

A MOUNTAIN HOME
BY Alta Shady. Aae u. Class A

BY Alta Shady, Age ID, Class A
Once upon a time there lived in the
mountains of the far west a little girl
and boy. Their names were Agnes and
James. Their father died when they
were years old and their poor mother
worked hard to support her two little
children. But when they were about 12
years old their kind mother died and
they were left alone to take care of
themselves.
One night as Agnes was preparing
their simple meal they heard a rap at
the front door. Agnes was frightened
but when James opened the door
young man was standing there He
asked them If he could have a drink of
water. James ran to the spring and
brought a glass of cool water. The
man thanked them and started away
but the children called him back and
asked him to eat some supper, thinking
he must be hungry.
While they were eating he asked
them if they had a father and mother.
The poor children told him their story
The young man felt sorry for them and
said:
81 want little boy in my office and
think you will do. 1 will give you $5
week"
How the little boys eyes shone as he
looked up to his little sister.
The next morning the children were
up at daylight for James was going to
work. James got ready while Agnes
got the breakfast When breakfast was
over James kissed his sister and said
goodby.
Agnes was very lonesome all day
but she cleaned the little house and did
many little chores and was soon pre-
pairing the supper.
When James came home he was a
little tired. They ate and talked over
the day, and then they did up the
evening work. They soon went to bed
for they had to get up early next morn
ing. People came to see the children
and wanted to take them home, but
they said: mo, we will live here to-
gether and take care of each other"
So the people went home, leaving food
and clothes with them. The children
lived happy forever after in the little
log bin in the mountains.

WHAT BOBBY BURNS DID
One Reason Why He Should Be En-
deared to All Good
Fellows

Booth Harrington was talking about
Burns, whose poetry he admires.
"1n a beer hall one night" he said, Il
saw bust of Burns"
Il turned to young man and said:
"'Who is that?'
Burns he answered, without hesi-
tation.
"'And what said I, did Burns do to
entitle him to a bust?'
"'Why, he-he-Oh, he died. said the
young man, yawning.
But his companion was a Scot. This
Scot, as he filled his whisky glass,
sneered and said:
Burns death alone wouldn't have
sufficed for his commemoration in
bronze and marble. Burns was a poet,
gentlemen. Furthermore, he was a good
fellow. Let me tell you something that
should endear him to such minds as
yours.
"'Once in Dumfries Burns had the
job of gauger. He went about from
public house to public house. seeing
that a good, pure grade of whisky was
served. And he was supposed, too, to
keep his eye open for unlicensed houses
to see that no speak-easies, as we call
them, fourished in DumfrieS.
"'And did he do it? Did he, indeed?
There's a fond Dumfries tradition that.
sneaking hurriedly into the back door
of a prosperous speak-easy one after
noon, Burns whispered eXcitedly to the
owner, a widow:
"'"Kate, woman are ye mad? The
supervisor and me will be raidin' ye in
half an hour" "'"-Phi hiladelphia Bulle-

Harry's birthday was on Halloween
and he had been planning for a party
for months. To be deprived of his
party was the greatest evil he could
imagine. so this threat kept him good
a long time.

going to the store, he saw Red Rack
smith coming, He hurried, because he
had been forbidden to speak to him.

OUR BANTAMS S
BY Karl Humphreys, Age IL, Class c

BY Kari Humphreys, Age IL, Glass
We have the dearest bantam family.
To begin with, the rooster is named
Dick. He has bright and beautiful
plumage and is a regular fighting cock.
He has fought all the ROSTERS in the
neighborhood. Then he goes off and
crows. He will call the hens when you
tell him to, but he will not be petted.
The little hen is great pet, and she
will eat out of our hands. She also
wants to be petted and stroked and
talked to. She has raised several
broods of little chicks Among the little
chicks she has raised little brown
pulet. This little pullet is a pet like
her mother. She isn't quite 8 months
old and hasn't laid any eggs yet. She
has adopted a brood of six chicks. She
clucks, she scratches for them and she
calls them to her. At nights she hovers
over them. They make her spread her
wings out a great deal My mother has
to pick her up and put her to bed. She
isn't afraid to be picked up.
The chicks follow my mother until
she comes to the coop. Then they all
hop in She has taken care of them for
two weeks now and the little chicks arc
so large I'm afraid she will not be able
to cover them much longer as she is so

The pipe runs under the cement

AIE all love our garoen' put
" Christy, the gardener, and 1
love it best. That is because
he makes it and 1 play in it all day
long.
One morning as we were transplant
ing some blue larkspurs he said:
Jean, ye should see the garden by
moonlight. 'Tis the bonniest thing!'
"why can't I?" said I.
1.-THE moon doesn't rise until ye are
safely asleep" he said
That was true. for when 1 went to
sleep that evening there was no sign
of her. i walked in the night Q don't
remember ever doing that before), and
the bright moonlight made a great
patch on the floor just the shape OF
the window laid down. 1t had wav-
ing, ghostly curtains, too, like the win
dow curtains.
OF course L got up and went into
the garden.
1t was bonnie chat means pretty),
as Christy said. The sky was nearly as
light as day. and my shadow danced
in front of me when / danced for fun
There were all sorts of shadowy, black
places l never see in the daylight, and
a soft breeze made the flowers nod and
toss in the oldest way.
The garden looked so different that
I was a tiny bit afraid of getting lost,
so / sat down on fathers carved bench
to look at things.
1t was not long before I realized that
something strange was happening. The
flowers were talking.
The first l heard speak was one of
the blue larkspurs we had transplant
ed that morning.
''It is such a comfort to have room
to grow in, and our servant here in
the garden moves us so nicely that
it does not hurt. l really cannot see
how we could be better situated"
THAT is true" replied a red rose
tree. 1T is extremely comfortable.
Yet some of us are not contented."
"Who are they?" demanded the mas
turtiums, speaking together, as if they
were one person.
'It is the oriental poppes," declared
the rose tree.
why aren't you contented?" asked
the rose tree.
"Honorableness, in the far island
country whence we came there is a
garden near little stream with a
came child in bright Colored robes,
who loved us dearly and wept when
her father sent US away"
do you mean you are homesck?"
asked the rose tree, gently.
Truly it may be that, honorable
ness" answered the poppy, bowling low
again.
IT can't think how you expect to get
back" said a voice l hadn't heard be-
fore, and there was a fairy sitting on
the edge of the stone basin father put
there for the birds to drink from.
The flowers all bowed low, the pop
pies lowest of all, before the homesick
one answered.
"If your graciousness would deign to
use your unlimited and marvellous
powers this humble flowers trouble
might be cured"
The fairy shook his head decidedly.
81 can't do it," he said. decidedly.
The poppies all began to wall again.
'I might turn you into a butterfly"
said the fairy. "HOw would that do?
You'd make a gorgeous butterfly" he
added persuasively, cooking his head
at her admiringly.

bushes.
The king of the Beetles was at the
end of a room on a stool, and he was
so old that his white beard trailed on
the floor 1 bowed low, as one should

He took out a box made of beetles

worms came out and sat on the edge,
so we might see clearly In the box
were three long, sharp icicles.
Good" said Lilo. when l showed
him the icicle in my hand. Now pin
her petals together at the top with it,"
Gently as | could | gathered up the
four scarlet petals of the homesick
Poppy and pinned them together. Then
l went back to the bench.
The fairy stood up, waving his arms
slowly, and all the poppies began sway
ing in time to the waving. But they
sang such a sleepy song that l could
not stay awake.

when | awOke the moon had set and

so I could hardly move at first. I
could not see the flowers in the dark

back to the house. And then l fell
asleep again until morning.
While we We're at breakfast Christy
came in to say that some one had
stolen one of the oriental poppies.
And now comes the very strangest
part. Two days afterward Jane came
upstairs to say that there was Il. wo-

The woman stood by the door and [

I was little scared at first when

mamma, but the Poppy smiled at me,
and then l wasn't any more; l saw
that she remembered and knew that
l remembered.
She had lovely things to sell. / sup

Mamma was delighted and bought a

travel as they do, and l can't do that.
