The Kindest Way.

Someone has told a story of two girls who were on
q street car together when poorly-dressed
man entered, accompanied by several children. One
of the girls lifted the largest child to her lap and
held him there during the remainder of the ride.
Later her friend demonstrated with her. saying that
it would have been easier to pay the boys fare
and let him have seat; to which the youthful
daughter of the king answered simply, 1T would
have been easier, but | don't think it would have
been as kind" The following is an account of a
helpful act done in the kndest if not the easiest
way:
Billy Watson was taking home the big basket
of freshly-roned clothes over which his mother had
spent so many hours of work, when the toy express
wagon on which the basket rested, broke down.
Billys wits never very keen, quite unequal to
this emergency. He sat down in the grass by the
roadside. and was crying there when Rae Winston
happened to pass.
1t took Rae only half minute to get the whole
story from Biy's trembling lips and it took her
even less time to determine what was to be done
"These go to Mrs. Rollins do they" she said
cheerfully "Well, / wonder if we couldn't carry
the basket that little way. You take one end and
will take the other
Billy's tears dried at once over this unexpected
offer of aid He clutched the handle of the big
basket with both hands and manfully did his best
But it must be confessed that neither found the
task an easy one, and Rae, as we'll as Billy was
glad to stop on each corner to take breath for
new start.
When Mrs Rollins, looking from the dining
room window, saw Judge Winston's daughter help
ing Billy Watson bring the washing through the
yard, she was SO ''taken aback," she declared
afterward, that you could have knocked her down
with feather" But the neighbor with her smiled
at her amazement. 'Ihe childs just like her
mother" she said, "and she's got the same way of
helping folks"
Rae's aid did not end even there She took Billy
home with her, and gave him pair of old wheels
which had been in the loft of the woodshed for
some time and which she rightly judged would re-
pair the broken cart. Billy went away with shining
eyes And though three little blisters Rae's
white palm showed that her way of helping had not
been the easiest, there can be doubt that trfng
as it seemed, it had showed the very spirit of the
Master.

Ten Rules of Politeness,

10 be polite is to have kind regard for the
feelings and rights Of others.
BE as polite to your parents. brothers, sisters
and schoolmates as you are to strangers
Look people fairly in the eye when you speak to
them, they speak to you,
Do not bluntly contradict any one.
1t is not discourteous to refuse TO do wrong.
Whispering, laughing, chewing gum, or eating
at lectures, in school, or at places of amusement,
is rude and vulgar.
