to get up, and suit the action to the

traveller picking up bits of tallow
dropped from a candle and eating
them as YOU would candy. To see
how much he would eat this man
gave the whole candle. The boy
was delighted and munched it down
and eagerly looked for more. He
was given a second and then a third
candle, when the man thought can
dies were too expensive to be COB
bled up in this reckless fashion. He
gave the boy, who was five years old,
several pounds of sour frozen but
tcr-dreadful stuff. The young
Tartar ate it greedily. The traveller,
seeing that he was still hungry for
more dclicacies, next offered a large
piece of yellow soap.
Did the boy refuse this? Not he!

A THOUGHTFUL MONARCH.

King Alfonso NH. was once
touring in his motor car near the
Sierra de Guadarrama mountains
when he came across a little group
of wanderers drenched by a heavy
shower, shivering with cold and,
above all, dishcartened. The car
was stopped, and questions brought
out the fact that the travellers were
walking to Madrid in the hope Of
finding work, that they had lost
their way and that they had now
neither money nor food. The king
and his people gave the wayfarers
all their loose money, and then Al
fonso made the women get into the
motor that he might take them to
the nearest village. The men were
to rejoin them on foot Arriving at
the village, what was the astonish-
ment of the poor creatures to see
their benefactor hailed as the SOW
ereign of the country. As he start
ed again on his interrupted journey
Alfonso explained that at Madrid
the wanderers were to 90 directly to
the palace, where he would person
ally see to it that proper work was
found for them.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
The Tree Game Combines Sport and
Useful information.

A nice amusement for the country
is a tree party. Ask mother some
pleasant day to let you invite a
number of your friends over to
spend the afternoon. When tired of
playing romping games form a circle
on the grass and pass among the
guests numbered cards, on which
are pasted real leaves from different
kinds of trees.
Opposite the number ask the play
ers TO write the names of the trees
from which they think the leaves
were taken. The player who makes
correct list is crowned with a
wreath of ferns or rat leaves.
On the other side of the cards
have the following questions written
for your guests to answer:
What part Of tree is like a dog
The bark. What part of a tree is
like going away? Leave. What part
of a tree is like an elephant? The
trunk. What part of a tree is like
a hog? Root. What tree is not |?
lcw What tree never fades? Ev-
crgreen. What tree will never be
Younger? Elder.
