To Initiate a Rooeter.

The natural history class had just
begun and the teacher was telling the
boys about various animals. Although
she made her little talk as entertaining
as possible, she noticed that some
members of the class were not paying
very strict attention. Thinking to re-
vive their Tagging interest, the teacher
said: Nov, boys, want every one to
initiate the noise made by some ami
NAL l will give you two minutes to
choose your animals, and then Well
see how well you can do it"
The two minutes being up, the room
was filled with sounds seldom heard
outside a menagerie Squealing of
pigs, barking dogs, braying Of donkeys,
roaring of lions, twittering of birds AMI
mewing of cats issued from every cor
ner. The children seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely, with one ex-
ception. Johnny Small sat in utter 81
lence. Teacher noticed his closed
mouth, so when the noise had some
what subsided she said:
Johnny, why aren't you initiating
some animal? Can't you think of
any?"
Il am responded Johnny, quite So
berly. "Sh-sh. I'm keepin' perfectly
quiet, cause I'm rooster. and I'm lay
in an egg."-Washington Star.

There is a funny little boy
Who follows me around.
He sometimes walks upon the 1ehce
And often on the ground
He never runs about alone,
But always m!mlcS me.
And sometimes L m SO tired OF hliii'
AS tired as l can be.
Once in a while. in lonesome tlhes'
He's nice TO have around.
For then he's sort of company
l oftentimeS have found.
He always seems to be afraid
To go outdoors at night.
He hides away and never comes
Till it is very light.
! sometimes think he's cowardly.
And try to punish him;
But off he starts and runs away
He's such an awful limb"
! get SO vexed | try to put
My foot right on his head
He hobs and lodges SO l can't
Who says shadows are dead!
My brother says it is no boy,
1t hasn't life at all:
But l know better, mines alive,
Just see him on the wall.
He shakes his finger. SO and SO,
AS lively as can be.
I'm fatter, but l cannot run
A faster race than he.

Dr., 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 to 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 nece. If she is kept
quiet few days, think she will soon
be WE'LL
Then the busy Doctor drove away
down the street. There were great
many sick people just then, and he
had little time to talk to any one who
was well. The children whispered
about Miss Edith though they were a
whole block away from her house, and
We're sorry they could not see her. On
Sundays it seemed very strange to have
a 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 rumblins
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-!" began Tom, and then he
clapped both hands over his mouth.
I've got a plal.," he whispered loud
ly. Lets get lot of that grass Mr..
Richards wanted taken away from his
lawn and spread 1t on the streets. 1t
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 Edith's house,
and the children were working like
beavers up and down the street. The
hoofs did not make a great noise after
that, and even the heavy wheels moved
softly over the grass.
Here! What are you youngsters
doing, scattering straw up and down
the street?" said gruff voice. and
there stood big policeman all shin
ing with brass buttons, and heavy
frown on his face. You'll have to
stop this nonsense at once"
=, (, - Sa1y cot a
Roy, wiping the big drops off his red
face. please don't talk quite so loud.
The wagons rattle so, and DR.. Martin
said she must be quiet. You won't
make us take it off, will you?"
''No, indeed" said the big man,
kindly. Go right ahead, and I'll
help"
When the policeman took a big
wheelbarrow and carted several loads
of grass from the lawn the children
said he could wheel as much as dozen
wagons could carry, and the task was
soon complete DR.. Martin came next
morning and was much surprised
to find the street so quiet, until he saw
the grass carpet.
Miss Edith is much better, chill
dren," he said, kindly. $50 much bet
ter that l have just been telling her
about my crowd of little helpers.
wish every patient have could have
such kind helpful neighbors. Your
carpet is doing more good than my
medicine" And in a very short time
Miss Edith was back in her place, we'll
and happy, all because of her Doc
tors helpers, she said, with a bright
smile.-Hilda Richmond, in Sunday

The Busy Bee.

When you eat spoonful OF money
you have very little notion as to the
amount of work and travel necessary
to produce it. To make one pound OF
clover honey bees must deprive o.
coo clover blossoms of their nectar.
and to do this requires 2,75O,O0O visits
to the blossoms by the bees.
In other words, one bee to collect
nectar to make one pound OF honey
must go from hive to flower and back
2,75O,0O0 times. Then when you think
how far these bees sometimes ty 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.
1t may also help you to understand
why the bee is unamiable enough to
sting you if you get in its way. When
one has to work so hard to accomplish
so little, it is quite irritating to be
interfered with.-Philadelph Record.
Dog Leads Blind Horse to Water.
Tom, a bull terrier, belonging to Os-
car Thomas, near Setauket, is claimed
by his owner to be the most intelligent
dog in Suffcll, County, which contains
some of the best kennels in the East.
Tom is not show animal, but he
has sense and a great deal of charity
in his heart. On the Thomas farm
is a blind horse The animal was re-
Gently turned out to pasture and it was
necessary to lead him to water. After
he had been led several times it was
seen he never would be able to find his
way by himself.
Much to the surprise of his owner,
the dog, who has always been attach
ed to the horse, was noticed one day
walking in front of the horse leading
the way to the brook. He kept just in
front and out of the way of the hoOfs
of the old horse and barked frequent
ly.
The dog waited until he had had his
fill Of water and then led him back to
pasture. He does this three or four
times a day. When the old horse,
which went blind this spring, wants
a drink he whinnies, and Tom goes on
the jump for the pasture and attends to
his duty.-Port Jefferson Dispatch to
New York World.
