Or. Martins Helpers.

"The only way you can help is by
keeping very quiet" said Dr. Martin
to the little group OF boys and girls
waiting 20 hear how Miss Edith was
that morning. "She doesn't need bou.
quets now, and you must not ring the
door-bell to ask how she is. but Just
keep as still as mice. II she is kept
quiet a few days, think she will soon
be WE'LL"
Then the busy Doctor drove away
down the street. There we're a great
many sick people just then, and he
had little time 20 talk to any one who
was well. The children whispered
about Miss Edith though they were a
whole block away from her house, and
were sorry they could not see her. On
Sundays It seemed very strange TO have
new teacher in the classroom, and,
though Miss Mary did her best for the
children. they all missed their dear
teacher
Il don't see how she can be quiet
with all those old wagons rumbling
past" said Nellie, as eight hoofs pound
ed over the paved street Il wish the
streets were all soft and dusty like
they are at grandpa's in the coun-
try.
Il wish they all had carpet over
them" said John. Il guess it doesn't
do much good for us to whisper when
they rattle and bang over the stones"
"Hur-l" began Tom. and then he
clapped both hands over his mouth.
1--WE got a plan" he whispered loud
ly. Let's get a lot of that grass Mr..
Richards wanted taken away from his
lawn and spread IL on the streets. II
won't take us long with our little wag-
ons."
They all wanted to. shout "Hurrah!"
at that, but they remembered what
the Doctor had said, and scurried away
like mice for their little wagons and
wheelbarrows in the neighborhOod.
Very soon there was thick, soft grass
carpet In front Of Miss Edlth's house,
and the children were working like
beavers up and down the street The
hOOfs did not make great noise after
that, and even the heavy wheels moved
softly over the grass.
"Herel What are you youngsters
doing. scattering straw up and down
the street7@ said a gruI voice. and
there stood a big policeman all shin
ing with brass buttons. and heavy
froWn on his face. You'll have to
stop this nonsense at once.
Its because Miss Edith is sick. said
Roy. wiping the big drops on his red
face. please don't talk quite 50 loud.

When the policeman took a big

The Busy Bee.
Washington star.

When you eat a spoonful of honey
you have very little notion as to the
amount OF work aud travel necessary
90 produce II. To make one pound OF
clover honey bees must deprive g.
600 clover blossoms OF their nectar,
and to do this requires 2,75O,0OO visits
TO the blossoms by the bees.
IN other words. one bee to collect
uectar to make one pound Of honey
must go from hive 20 flower and back
2.750,000 times, Then when you think
how far these bees sometimes fly in
search Of these clover fields. oftener
than not one or two miles from the
hive you will begin to get small idea
OF the number OF miles one Of the in-
dustrious little creatures must travel
In order that you may have the pound
Of honey that gives them so much
trouble.
II may also help you to understand
Why the bee is unamiable enough to
sting you II you get in its way. When
one has to work 50 hard to accomplish
50 little, It is quite irritating to be
interfered with Record.
