THE WEATHER

March was very nice month this
spring. 1t was SO nice and warm that
most of the fruit began to bud out
Then April was so cool and everything
froze so hard that it has killed almost
all the fruit. Most Of the farmers
sowed their oats in March this spring
and the freeze in April thinned them
out pretty bad. So I don't think the oat
crop will be very large. 1t has warmed
up now and everything is growing.

Early in the spring you can see the

When it is about four weeks old a
little bud appears and in a short time
it opens and there is beautiful lit

Pretty soon the little white petals
fall off and there is a tiny green Der.

The little green berry soon grows
larger and begins to turn from green

JUNIOR STORIES.
AUNT JoAN's CARNATIONS.
"a True StoryA


In her beautiful garden no flowers
gave Aunt Joan so much Joy as her
carnations. They were the best in
the county for size. color and perfume,
and the delight of her heart. She spent
happy hours raking the mould, tying
up the splendid blossoms on dainty
white supports with colored woods or
with garden scissors shipping off faded
leaves or heads.
Into this delicious corner of ex-
quis1te colors and sweet scents. one
sunny morning, came Aunt Joan's lit
tie nephew, Jack, followed by his pet
lamb
He brought a message from his
mother. but began, "Auntie. look at
my lambkin. He has grown such a big
follow. He follows me everywhere and
| have taught him to jump ever SO
high Just watch him take your
garden gate. Hi, Toby! Come along,
Over!"
Aunt Joan's gate wasn't very high,
hut still tall enough to make Jacks
aunt exclaim: "Oh, what a clever
creature when Toby took it with a
bound. He jumped back again and
gave his mothers message.
Then there was a dreadful scream
from Aunt Joan. Toby, left to amuse
himself, was eating the carnations,
and In three minutes had devoured the
finest Of all. three of those intended to
win the prize at the county flower
show.
All Jacks apologies failed to pacify
poor Aunt Joan. Toby had to be TAX
en- out of her sight at once and was
dragged struggling and bleating to get
back to the unexpected dainty feast
he had discovered. He really could not
see why his master was so distressed
or Aunt Joan so terribly angry.
Toby had learned too we'll how
sweet and good carnations were and
how to jump the garden gate. He
wasn't going to forget, either Clever
Toby.
Next morning when Aunt Joan pull
ed up her blind there was Toby stand
ing occupied in munching the choicest
heads off her loveliest flowers. Oh. she
was angry! Jack and his mother had
a bad time. Toby didn't mind Fasten-
ed up to no purpose, day after day,
he leaped the gate, chose the biggest
carnations, and Aunt Joan had no
chance of prize if he remained near.
At last Toby was sent to Farmer
Vowel's. two miles away, till the
Flower Show was over. Three days
later Aunt Joan came out screaming
with rage. Toby was back again.. She
ran at him with whip. Toby net her
lovingly. his mouth full of scarlet
blossoms.
Again Mr.. Vowels took him away.
'Ill settle him this time said the
sturdy farmer So he coupled Toby to
the Oldest, latest, LATEST sheep in the
flock and for three weeks Aunt Joan's
carnations got time to bloom, better
than ever for Toby's pruning.
The show time arrived, Aunt Joan
won her much desired prize and Jack
began to beg for Tobys return to-
morrow.
But the next morning Aunt Joan
was awakened by a plaintive bleating
at her gate and when she looked out
she burst into hearty fit of laughing.
Toby had dragged the poor, tat old
sheep all across the country along with
him to the beloved carnations, but at
the gate his companion proved bar

Joan was so much amused at his per-
severance and determination she gave

LING Loo AND THE GIANT.

Little Ling Loo
Found giants shoe;
The shoe was broaP and deem.
Ling Loo got inside
And did gaily ride
Across the ocean deep.
To an isle he went
On adventure bent.
AS he sailed in the giants shoe.
So he landed awhile
On the bonny isle
For he'd nothing else to
While he rested there
In the fresh night air
A step was heard hard by.
Ling Loo took peep
Up the mountain steep;
Then, frightened, began to cry.
For a giant strobe
Ger the mountain road.
Coming straight toward Little Lina
Loo.
And one foot was bare
AS it cleft the air,
For the giant wore but one shoe.
"Ah, hat" he cried.
When Ling Loo he spied.
Little chap, you've got my shoe.
But, come, dry your eye;
You needn't cry!
For I'll tell you what I'll do.
''I'll let you stand
On my outstretcned hand;
1t will bridge the ocean deep.
Then, when say Col.
Be ready, you know,
To make the home-stretch leap"
So little Ling Loo
Did what you would do
He jumped on the giants hand;
And with one mighty leap
Crossed the ocean deep
To his own Celestial land.
