Billy's Teeth.

A teacher in one of the kindergartens
used TO ask her little pupils every morn
ing II they had cleaned their teeth. Shc
had in her room a very little boy, whom
we will call Billy. After while Billy
left that school and went to another.
In the new school the teacher never
asked the pupils IL they had cleaned
their teeth, so Billy left OF cleaning his:
One day his mother. noticing the color or
his teeth, said: why. Billy, your teeth
are in a terrible condition. / see you
have not cleaned them for a long time"
"Oh," said Billy. that's all right; we
don't have to clean our teeth any more
at my new school" l.. M >.

Feeding the Cow

One day the old man was making a
rabbit trap down In the orchard. He
was in a great hurry to finish 1t, so he
sent Jessamine to feed the cow. She
fed the three smallest carrots, as the
old man bade her. Then she went to
the haystack. She stayed there a long
time. You need not think she was count
ing the straws, though. Old Simeon
was not quite SO stingy as that. lie
looked at JeSSamlne's eager face and
then at her short arms.
Give the cow an armload of hay" he
said. Just what you can carry In youI
arms at one load; not straw over, now
mind you"
Jessamine tried again and again.
When she moved few steps from the
stack so much hay would slide from her
load that she would rake it all back and
try again. At last, by loading very
skillfully and walking very steadily.
Jessamine dropped her hay before the
cow, who had been watching with
.'Ha! RaF' said the gray goose. "I
wish you had the key to our corn chest.
1 thought. it was small hay stack
till you dropped it. that there was girl
under it."
So the poor old COW had one good feed
When she had eaten it she lay down uu-
der a tree and chewed her cud.
Old Simeon finished his trap and baited
1t with a cabbage leaf AS he came to
the house he saw the cow lying under
the tree.
Dame Prudencei Dame Prudence!
The cow is SICK" he shouted.
Simeon had not been used to seeing
his cow take her ease.
Simeon and Dame Prudence went to
market. Dame Prudence carried a bag
of red peppers, a firkin of butter, q bas-
ket of eggs and some woolen socks. Old
Simeon was loaded with two hams. a
cheese, a jug of cider and one goose tha t
had become too old and feeble to strug-
gle over the fields in search OF food or to
lay eggs. Simeon had hoped to snare a
rabbit to carry with him. He looked in
his trap the last thing before starting.
but it was empty.
Jessamine cleaned the house and fn-
ished piling the wood that Old Simeon
had begun. Then she knit until time to
milk. The cow, after her generous feed.
gave more milk than usual The crock
would not hold it all. Jessamne stood
on a stool to reach a big flowered bowl
from the shelf. Her feet slipped and she
caught at the shelf to save herself from
falling. 1t gave way. Jessamine, sthe
shelf and the dishes came tumbling
down. The flowered bowl, the gold
banded teapot, the blue plates. the cups
and saucers, all of Dame Prudence's best
dishes, were broken into a hundred bits.
Jessamine was bruised and smarting,
too. but she did not think Of that. She
ran to the cow shed and crept into an
empty barrel in the farthest corner.

The way to do is this: After you
have all drawn your tea-leaving just a
few drops with the leaves-first make q
wish. and repeat IL three times in your
mind; then twirl the cup around so as to
shake up the leaves as much as possible.
Do this three times (from left TO right
then turn the cup upside down and. set

She only ran up higher on the cliff,
and. when she found that he could not

The Water Gods

When he opened his eyes he found
himself sitting on big rock in the bot
tom OF the river, and ali the water gods
were sitting around him. They were
very pleased to have him with them and
received him most graciously. They ad-
mitted him to the honor of their society,
but they told him that he could not be-
come one OF them until they had OBJ
tanned the consent OF Oceanus and Tet-
kys, the sovereigns or the sea. So he
was compelled to sit on this rock and
wait for ten days and ten nights until
the gods could communicate with their
kings.
Glaucus wished himself many times
back on earth again. as IL was very wet
and dull sitting down at the bottom OF
a river alone. for all the gods left him
while they went to seek permission
OF OceanuS and Tetkys that he might
STAY with them. Oceanus and Tetkys
agreed he could stay. and that all that
was mortal In him should be washed
away.
To effect this a hundred rivers must
pour their waters over him. Then only
would he lose all sense OF his former
nature and all consciousness. Poor Glau-
cusi Little did he know what was In
store for him. There he sat on the lone
ly rock at the bottom OF the river long

who passed his uninhabited island IN

Glaucus made his living by fishing. He
took his fish each day to the bank OF the
river. and there the marketmen would
meet him and give him few pieces of
gold for them. and he. without uttering
word to them. would then return to his
lonely island.
One day when he drew In his net he
found IL full of the most wonderful

origin in China, where the peddlers

humming sound that 1t produces. OF

The Fish Escape

He emptied hts net on the grass far
from the river so there would be no dan
ger that any OF the fish would get back
into the water again. but what was his
surprise to see the fish suddenly begin
to jump and move their fms as IL they
were in the water! He was so aston
ished that ne stood by and watched
them In amazement They one and all
moved on TO the water. into which they
Jumped and swan away. He had never
seen anything like this before in all his
life. and IL is not surprising that he was
frightened Glaucus did not know wheth-
er some god had made the fish move. or
whether the grass possessed some secret
power.
With this thought In mind. he search
ed carefully the place where he had
thrown the hsh. and called out. ''Ohi
that might know what secret power
mas lost me my fish," He waited and
listened. but there was no answer. and
god TO interfere with me and my hsh?''
but still no answer came back to him. So
ne looked all about him. and there, just
where the fish had been he saw a little
green plant with white flowers on IL like
watercress.
This was the only thing he could see
tnat ne had not seen before, and II
looked very harmless. So he picked soma
OF II and smelled and tasted the littlo
flower. No sooner had the juice touched
his mouth than he found himself longing
for water. He felt an uncontrollabie de-
sire TO rush into the river. Try as he
would. he could not overcome the de-
sire.
He ran to the bank OF the stream. and
before plunging in he turned and bade
farewell to tho earth. Stretching out
his arms. he cried. Farewell. o beauti-
countries unknown to man." and then he
plunged into the water.
