of having failed. At length trim,
bright faced boy of twelve or thirteen
came forward and delivered an eloquent
statement of the Indian question. His
utterance was clear and concise and
without the least trace of embarrass-

heard the distinct, rapid flow of choice
words his enthusiasm became SO great
that it was with difficulty he kept his
seat. AS soon as the exercises were
over he drew the principal aside.

Somewhere back in his boyhood Mr..
Dorkins had won a school prize, and
the glow of it had always remained in
his heart. Now he set to work to bring
that same glow to the heart of as many
boys and girls as possible. Prizes were
offered for almost every kind of ex-
cellence he could think of-conduct
scholarship, advancement-and a grand
special prize of a years schooling for
the best defamation to be delivered ON
the last day of each school year.
Mr.. Dorkins had a profound respect
for a good speaker. He himself had
never been able to make a speech, and
this very inability had enhanced his
admiration for f1uency in others.

The cars little daughters - the.
Grand Duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Marie
and Anastasia-are by no means para
CONS of perfection or little prudes, but
are warm hearted youngsters, full OK
fun and mischief and with an appreci-
alton of their own exalted rank.
One day in summer when the court
was still at Peterhof the four little
grand duchesses were playing on the
beach in front of the Alexandrine pail
ace when they saw a young officer SUI
pervising a number of sailors engaged
in difficult piece of work. The chill
dren naturally went to see what they
were doing, and Immediately the men
stopped their labor to salute them in
a manner BETTING their rank.
To be saIuted once was not enough
for the imperial youngsters, who,
abandoning their play. now began to
walk demurely backward and forward
in front of the men, who were thus
compelled to neglect their labors that
they might give the proper salutes.
For a little while the game went on
quite to the children's liking, but then
the officer, seeing that work was likely
to be hindered indefinitely, quietly or
dered the men to go on with their task
and to salute no more.
A moment or two later the Grand
Duchess Olga had quite shock. She
came tripping by, and nobody noticed
her. She looked first at the officer and
then at the men, as if at a loss to ae-
count for this neglect; then, stamping
cried, Salute at once or I'll tell papa"

- nee upon a time there was
A. mn very small prince with very
small nose. He lived in the
Land of Make Believe, in
which great many things happen that
would be considered quite remarkab BILE
elsewhere. Now, it was most unfortu-
nate that Prince Meriface did not have
longer nose, for there was a strong
prejudice in favor of long noses in that
country.
Now, trouble had begun when the
queen insisted that the long abandoned
custom of inviting fairy godmothers to
the christening of the heir should be re-
vived. Once, in the early history of
the royal house of Make Believe there
had been a very unpleasant incident in
which figured a prince with an extraor-
dinarily long nose and as it was gen.
orally believed that the unusual size of
his descendants nasal appendages was
due to this circumstance-altho
court chroniclers tried to discount it
with various fanciful tales of a fairy
godmother with a baleful influence-it
was tacitly admitted by all the invited
fairies that any allusion to a nose
would, to say the least, be indicate
The fairies felt that they must do their
very best to encourage this revival of
hospitality on the part of human folk
So it happened that when the fairy
folk, attired in the most exquisite crea-
lions of flower petals and cobweb lace,
trooped past the royal cradle fairy
eyes were sedulously averted from the
baby's nose and fairy lips were scrupu-
lously careful to make no mention of
that somewhat unobtrusive feature.
The little fellow grew up blessed with
every other desirable feature, but with
a nose which remained small and
slightly turned up, although as soon as
he discovered the deficiency the king
gave orders to the royal nurses to put
it through a regular course of massage
and stretching. Although the masseurs'
and masseuses' fortunes grew rapidly
the baby's nose did not.
