A kind word is something that every.
one can give and should on all occa-
sions We can always make other
people happy as well as ourselves by
giving them a few kind words when
we meet them.
Did you ever see girl or boy large
or small but what likes kind word?
Somestimes there are children that
have not got as good clothing as others
and all the other children will gather
about and tease and torment them I'M
til they don't know what to do, and
then some kind person comes along
and gives them few kind words and
smiles. How their little hearts will
feel to know it has one good and kind
friend. 1t will not only make them
happy. but it will also make yourself
feel happy.
Always speak kindly to animals as
we'll as people.
Take even dog and speak cross to
it and 1t will sulk away from you, then
call it back lanl speak gentle and
kind to it and then your will see the
difference. 1t will come to you wag-
ging it's tail and act as affectionate as
it can. Is it not better than to have
everything and everyone afraid OF you
when you 60 by?
Try it yourselves, girls and boys,
and see what everyonee and even your
self will like best and think they will
all say they think that kind words are
best. Edith p. Dale, age IL.

les. salad, pickles. bread, butter, fish,
honey. crackers, fruit etc. We can
not hardly wait until time for us to
start, and when it comes we are very
glad. When we reach the woods we
run and play and wade the water. but
It is not very long until dinner time,
and my! how we do enjoy 1t. After
dinner we must get some bate and try
our skill at catching fish. Sometimes
we catch several and sometimes none
at all. | always like to get by myself
when I fish for when there are several
we are most sure to get to laughing or
talking. After we have caught all we
want we must amuse ourselves in row.
Ing the boat and gathering flowers ETC.,
and the time flies merrily, but we do
nate to come home. AS we 60 home
we jump on and off of the wagons and
TALK about the different things that
happened during the day and when
we reach home we have to tell it all
to our mamma.

JUNIOR STORIES.
OUR COUNTRY.

Our country has delightful eli
mate. 1t is cold in winter, and warm
in summer. It has schools, cities, rail.
roads, phones, electric lights and
wires.
Canada is in America but does not
belong to 1t.
Alaska belongs to America. The
people there dress in furs and
catch seals, walrus and other sea ami
mails.

America. Almost every town has two
or three churches.
There is the newspaper people to
find about other towns.
The schools tell how to speak cor
rectly, write, read and to add and null

MAY DAY CUSTOMS.

One of the prettiest customs which
is coming more and more into practice
in this country is that of hanging May
baskets filled with the early spring
blossoms. on the doors and gates of
the domiciles Of friends. The schools
are largely to be thanked for the
spread Of this old English custom as
there is scarcely a primary school in
any city in the land where May bas-
kets are not made and inspirational
talks given about how to remember
the kind father and mother, the sick
friend, the poor little girl or boy.
1t is certainly a beautiful custom
and one well worth initiating by more
of the older folks. 81
In the villages of Bohemia this Gus
tom of planting trees for May day
some times creates marvellous
change. One writer tells that in a
certain village the streets were bare,
but on May day, Behold! rows of
fair green trees had sprung up over
night and beautified every lane and
street in the village"
In the latter part Of the eighteenth
century a law was passed in Bohemia
forbidding the cutting down of trees
for the purpose of using as May day
trees, but despite the numerous prohi-
billions, the custom is still continued.
The young trees thus used are imme-
diateiy replaced in the forests Of Bo-
hernia, the excellent custom of plant
ing tree for every tree used being
carried out to the letter whether the
tree be used for building purposes,
fuel, or for the perpetuation of the
May day and Christmas. festivities.
Thus the forests and parks are never
depleted as here in America, where
ruthless destruction of trees takes
place and no effort is made to replace
them.
On May day the youth of the vii.
lagos assemble on the green or in the
meadow beyond the town and sing
and dance to their hearts content,
choosing May queen, as In England,
and GROWING her with the sweetest
flowers of the field ard forest.

FAvoRITE GAMES.

MY favorite games are such as ball,
blackman, hide and seek. How to play
ball. One must be pitcher and the
other be catcher, and three or 1--WE be
batters. The batters strike at the ball
three times and if they hit 1t they
must run. If the fielder catches the
ball, the batter is out. Then the field
er bats the fall. It Is fun to play ball.
How to play blackman: One or two
stands and the rest run through. The
ISLANDERS try to catch them. II they
catch anyone the one he catches has
to stand the next time. That Is the
way to play blackman. How to play
hide and seek. One stands and the
others go and hide. The one who
stands has to count hundred. II he
catches anyone he has to stand and II
all Of them get in free the stander has
to stand again. That is the way to play
hide and seek. We play these games
at our school. Our school was out the
April 81. will close.

HOW TO MAKE THE GARDEN
PRETTY.

The way to make the garden pretty
is when spring comes to hoe the gar
den and then rake 1t, then get some
rich sandy soil and put on the gar
den, scatter the seeds on top. and COW
er with soil Brick or stone would
make a nice edging around it. The
flower beds can be made square,
round, star or diamond shaped. I
should plant sweet peas, astors, zen
las, dahlias, marigolds ana palsams.
When the flowers bloom they will look
pretty. Now the weeds must be kept
