A boy was amusing himself BY
watching the birds that were flying
around him. At length a beautiful
bobolink perched on a rough bough Of
an apple tree near by.
The boy picked up stone, and got

carried him home"

weird, dim and dusty, musty old
curio-shop, with stuffed peacocks
hanging from the ceiling, and skulls
and bronzes and marbles, paintings,

Nowhere in the city can the real
sririt OF Thanksgiving be more beau
tifully shown than was shown In the
morning exercises OF the Hemenway

in these short months, the children
have often there met bitter disappoint-
ments as the childrens book shelves
are not sufficiently filled 10 supply the
daily increasing demands of the chill
dren for new books suitable for their
minds.
The children from the Hemenway
school have taken the matter up from
the practical side. and have voluntarily
worked to remedy the deficiency and

TO our young folks.
The offering was S52.25 and will be

true spirit or this great season Of ma
