'Wen, George boy how it today1' This ques-
ion came from Georges mother, she giving her
little boy goodnight kiss before tucking the covers
round him, only mothers know how to tuck covers.
George and his mother had agreed to try every day
10 do at least thing to help somebody that needed
helping and this bedtime generally their chance for
telling another about it. To everybody else it
great secret. For, you know you talk about helping
Things that you try to do to anybody except mothers
Ire most to get proud and vain.
telling mothers sometimes tempts to feel too
wen pleased with ourselves George found out that
night, when mother asked, 'We Georgia boy how was
Is today9"
1T gave half my lunch to Billy Saunders today"
said George promptly He could hardly wait to tel
mother this, he proud about it. You mother,
Billy never has any lunch but piece of dry bread

They were walking on the terrace,
Mama and little Fred;
There they met stately peacock,
His gorgeous tail outspread.
AS they stepped out Of the pathway,
To give His Highness room,
"Oh, look!' cried Fred, astonished,
"The peacock is in bloom!"

THE BOOKWORM BOY.

I know little bookworm boy
With appetite so keen
That leaves, such as most bookworms eat,
Are not enough for him.
A stMother Goose" when nicely dressed,
he used to quite enjoy,
But now he calls it ''baby stuff,
Not fit for big boy"
Hos not the kind of little lad
You'd think would feed on prey,
And yet 'sWild Animals Havo Known
He'll devour most any day.
OF Pepper Books he's very fond;
You'd think they'd mako him sneeze;
Instead, when he has taken one,
He's happy - you please.
But st1, this b tho very worst,
Just like cannibal,
That oftentimes he says he likes
