There was a man once who, when the dew

that had her nest in the box elder near his
bedroom window had begun her morning
thanks, arose and dressed him leisurely and

Of his lot. and without losing any OF the
wren's melody plucked him a bunch of
radlshes cut a liberal supply of heads of
tender lettuce, picked 8 pan OF strawberries,
and while in the garden took out of the
soil several handfuls OF young beets with
their tops and also picked a dish of green
peas.
Going back TO the house he picked over
and washed the vegetables. and berries, lay
ing the peas and beets aside TO be cooked
for dinner. The radishes, lettuce, berries,
together with pitcher of milk and a plate
Of crackers or bread, go on the table.
Breakfast is ready. There has been no

too small to accommodate the large con-
gregations In addition to the new church
a. new parsonage will also be built, and
the present site of both church and par
