Girls Who Haven't Time.

Have you noticed what lot of '.haven't time
girls there are abouts It's such busy. busting
world, and they have their interests and amuse-
ments, which really almost FIJI the whole of each
day. Surely none could expect such busy people
to undertake all the little oddandend bits of work
and errands that crop up in every household
What lucky thing the little mothers are at
hand to FIJI the gaps
It's such nice, easy excuse to make if one
wants to get out of doing something We hustle
around and appear to be in the most tremendous
hurry.
We really haven't time to do many things we
are asked to do, unless by chance they happen to
be the things want to do ourselves.
Isn't that often the case! If it's something we
don't want to do out comes our ever-ready excuse;
but if it's just the other thing, and it's some pleas
ure that is offered to us-why, then make time.
But, dear girls, this isn't the right way to look
at life. God has given you your life not merely
that you may have good time and enjoy yourself.
but that you may make the best of it, and do some
good in the world.
What. think you, would your father say to a
clerk any in his employ if, instead of trying
to do the work given him, he wasted all his time in
amusements!
And it's just the same with girls work, which
you neglecting unless you making time to
do the kind and thoughtful actions that come in
your way.
You can leave them if you like: There is no
compulsion; but you will be missing what may be
the greatest happiness of your life if you do. And
how can you expect to be loved unless you show
your love for other people!
They may be such small things that they have
never appeared to you to be important. Just a
visit 70 cheer invalid duty done that will
leave the dear mother little freer halfhour de-
voted to amusing little Johnny. or helping him
with his lessons; letter written to some one to
whom you know it will give pleasure, treasured
flower gathered and given to some one who will
appreciate is; even kindly word or bright smile
such little things and yet they may mean an i'm
mense amount of self-denial and thoughtfulness
But don't thing you'll find it easy work. espe-
cially if you've tried to do these things be-
fore You won't. Probably many and many time
you'll be tempted to think it really isn't worth
while and you might well go back to the old
ways again. That is the time above all when you
must be on your guard.

FORGOTTEN Thanks.

OF course, you boys and girls are not the kind
who forget to say Thank you" when any one does
YOU favor. When you were very small, before
You could so much as talk plainly, father and
mother taught you these two little words, and ever
since. | trust. you have been careful about using
them at the right time.
There are many people who are careful to say
Thank you" when some one passes them the bread
dinner. lends them book TO read. but who
receive other and greater kndnesses without say
ing word.

Here they are. Jack" mamma says, quickly
the sound Of the impatient voice comes to her
ear. Il put them away for you when you left
them lying about"
And perhaps Jack says "Ohr' and perhaps he
Thank YOU We fear his mother is used to it,
however. Many mothers are.
How many boys and girls think of saying
Thank YOU" for the hours mother spends mending
heir torn clothes. or for her care of them when
aev ere sick for any of the little sacrifices she
making al the time If they want any help on
heir lessons mother gives it matter of course,
and they usually forget that it is anything for
which to thank her. They take it for granted that
whatever they want mother will give them. if she
possibly can; and so she will, but her willingness
and her love and her unselfshness are no excuse
for their being ungrateful and discourteous.
Start this very day to say THANK you" when
eyer mother does you a kindness. Perhaps you Will
he surprised to learn how many chances there are
in q day to use those little words. And you will
be even more surprised to see how much it means

THE STORY OF THE CAT-TAILs

In the meadow where the rushes
Whisper soft to every breeze.
And the rivulet runs singing
Underneath the willow trees.
Stand the cat-tails tall and stately,
Ever brown and browner grow
in the golden summer weather.
Slowly swaying to and fro.
Once | missed our tiny kitten.
And | searched most earnestly;
Twas the dearest little playmate
That body'd often be
Striped he was in brown and yellow
Full of mischief as dould be.
Round his face and roua d his figure,
But tailless cat was he.
And [ found him in thf rushes;
All, his eyes were opel led wide
Gazing at the velevet Ct tails
What were crickets Il a. beside.
Was he thinking thus ,fNJondered
In this quiet grass halI,
That upon SOFIA eieen Yall% growing
, Was his little missing tail!

the Birth-Month Party In the invitations each
guest is requested to wear something about her
costume which will indicate Ia the rest the month
in which he was born. The5e may take the form
of birth stones, appropriate fhowers designs or
naments, etc The following are few hints for
the puzzled ones
January-A string of trly silver bells; an hour
glass and scythe; babyi New Year and Fa-
Their Time
February-Some hint Of Washingtons birth
day, Feb %.
March-A musical scor in march time; tiny
April-A wee umbrella /; a paper fools cap.
Maya bunch of Maykflowers; a pretty spring
gown; flag.
June-A wedding ringR; bunch of roses.

| crackers
August-A white dr. ess, large fan and shade
hat.
September-Purple atsters berries,
October-Autumn leIhves; paper pumpkins

The year grows spIendid iNits royal crown Of gold.
But its crown is fairest
And its beauty rarest;
All because its leaves are growing old
May hope grow splendid, as your leaves of life
unfold,
May you find lifes duties
Like the autumn beauties
All the sweeter for Your growing old.

POLICE STRIKE THREATENED.
st. Petersburg Officers on Verge Of
Mutiny, Demanding Their Pay.

st. Petersburg, July 11.-Threats of a
police strike nearly caused a panic
here today and though the strike has
been postponed their anger cannot be
said to have entirely passed. The os-
tensible basis Of police discomfort is
monetary, including the accounting
for the mems saving fund, for which,
it is alleged, they have been allowed in
tereSt. The auth orties, however, de-
clare that the trouble was inspired by
agitators.
The gendarmes of the First district
this morning refused to go out on their
beats until authOritatively assured that
their money would be paid with full
interest. The captain tried to pacify
the men with the assurance that every
ed. but they would not listen to MIN.
Then they marched to the second dis
trict where they induced their COM
rades to join them. Cossacks were
summoned and the police We're sur
rounded and threatened with arrest;
but they held out until the chief of
police assured them that their demands
would be investigated and all wrongs
righted.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the po-
people are in terror lest the lawless
element Astounding here should take adj
vantage of the situation.
