A Spoiled Child

A child who has been spoiled by over
indulgent parents Is greatly to be pit
led, and deserves much sympathy. It's
own life is not only made a burden,
but every one with whom it is asso-
ciated is made miserable by its pevsh-
ness and ugly disposition. No one
loves a child who is selfish. or one who
has been made so by being indulged TO
every whim. AS the baby grows old
er and its prattue is shaped into sem
tences, how often this child. the light
of the parents hearts. becomes impu-
dent. At first we think these sayings
cute. but IN time If they are not cor
rected, they often mortify us by the
same things that have amused US so
much. When they are grown, the par
ents' hair is often turned gray by the
trouble which the spoiled child has
brought to them. OF course, it is not
necessary to be so strict with a young
ster that II will obey through fear. A
child who is taught from infancy obed-
ience thoughtfulness. and unselhsh-
ness, will make everybody around
happy, and will also be loved by all.
Then when old age has overtaken the
father and mother, what a comfort
they will find In this young man or
woman. These are they for whom So
ciety is always looking, and they are
sought for to fill the prominent posi-
tions Of the universe.

Outside a gentle voice broke upon
the prayer, and like the shepherds OF
old, the two darkeys fell forward upon
their faces. and waited with breath
suspended for another sound of the
angelic response.
"Dory to Dord in de highest. an on

you the greatest troupe Of trained
monkeys in the world. They win be
entered In Q pony race once around the
track. The champion rider, locke. the
finest monkey bareback rider I'm the
world, holds the record IN pony rae
ing. He Is number 4 and wears the
bright red coat
Out come the ponies and their little
riders. They are lined up at the start
Ing point and everyone's eyes are
strained for a look at Jocko. Down
goes the flag, and the ponies are or
like the wind. their riders clinging to
their necks.
Jocko Ia In The lead. A quarter of
the way he whiris, the others vainly
endeavoring to gain on him. He Is
half way round, and the crowd Is
cheering the plucky little rider. when
suddenly he seems to lose his hold and
slips back on the pony's launches.
His grip Is gone but he has not lost
his heart. and tries desperately to re-
gain hold.
Startled by the monkeys unusual
movement, the pony leaps forward.
Jocko tries to steady himself by
to the pony's tail, but is
thrown suddenly backward 10 the
ground. In his little monkey heart
Jocko trusts his faithful mount to
stop. but the pony, unable to under
stand what 1t Is all about, dashes mad
ly on, dragging his little rider.
Cheers die on the lips Of the specta-
tors as the little fellow Is bumped and
kicked over the rough course. Attend

the distance before he can be stopped,

and Jocko has ceased to struggle.
As tenderly as If he had been a baby
they picked him up. His little heart
still beat family, and through his
dim little eyes M looked up at them.
They were the men who had watched
him from babyho0d, and he knew
their grief.
The band stopped the "circus music
abruptly as one of the men bore Jocko
back to the animal tent. It was the
man who, but a few minutes before,
had placed Jocko on his favorite
mount. 1t was he who had fastened
the strap but for which the little fell
low might have jumped to safety in
stead of to death.
Caring little for those who saw, the
big, burly fellow carried Jocko in one
arm and hid his face In the other as
He had taken the little fellow out
only a short while before, had romped
with him all the way to the big tent
AMI had given him a parting tap as
the ponies darted off. And he was
bringing him back dying.
Tenderly he laid him inside while
the other monkeys, dazed to see the
little fellow come home in any other
wcy than a romp, gathered about
chattering their misunderstanding.
They soon saw that Jocko's life was
fast going away. The poor little
MANNED body lay pathetically still.
and but for the old light in the eyes
they could not have recognized their
bright loving little charge.
He looked up at them piteously.
They had been so proud Of him, and
he had loved them all. His little eyes
blinked a pathetic farewell to his
faithful guardians.
Outside In the big tent the band
banged away as daring equestrienne
dashed around the main ring. But
there was no JOY in the monkey cage,
for Jocko had ridden his last race.

The great circus was out On parade
when Jocko came. Everything was
confusion about the grounds In prepa-
ration for the afternoon performance,
and no one thought to take a peep
into the monkey cage where another
little member had been added 70 the
family.

about gazing at the wonderful side

fallen Snov, till on the bill among some

blazed out in old-time splendor. Some
servants were searching the grounds
with lanterns, and just then a lady
with golden hair like the childs came
out OF the front door, and when she
saw the old darkeys with their bundle
between them ran out crying:

kissed 1t again and again, while every-

blazing with lights and decked in
Christmas greens-the old dining-room
that had been as much lost to them
rs though they had at one time really
owned 1t. Then as the family gath
cred eagerly around, she seated the
strange couple by the bright warm
hro; till suddenly as the light from the
chandelier shone on their faces. the
lady with the golden hair ran to them
crying:
Uncle Luke! and dear old man.

lap she threw her arms around her

and to the great events or the day
had been added the coming Of Jocko.
