OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
THE CLUSTERING WIND.

~ nee upon a time The Sun and the
N Wind hsd a bitter argument as
to which one was the more pow
erful. The Sun said; You are moth
ing more than a bully. You kick up u
terrible fuss with YOU buster and
noise, but what does it amount to when
it is over?' At this the wind grew very
angry and blew very hard, roaring
among the trees as though he would
tear them all up by the roots, but the
Sun only laughed. Said he: BLOW
away, old blusterer. but hat does not
prove anything. Look at me. l melt
the ice in the spring and cause the
fruit to grbw and bring forth the flow
ers, and yet you never hear me brag-
ging about it."
Pooh, pooh.' shouted the Wind, all
the louder.
"And / light up the world every day,
so that men are happy and c~ontented,"
continued the sun, c you say as
much?"
Then the Wind, being very much put
out. said: you can talk all you want
to-. but L I'm the more powerful. never
theless. Here is a test: 1 see a trav-
eler walking along the road yonder.
Let us see who a make him take Off
his cloak first.
The sun agreed. and the Wind started
in TO do his worst. He fairly howled
about the mans shoulders. but the
traveller only wrapped his cloak closer
about him and plodded along his way.
Then the Sun came out. and smiling
his brightest, threw his beams directly
upon the traveller. After Il few mo
ments he began To intuition his cloak
and finally discarded the garment alto
gether and threw it over his arm.
"NYell,' said the sun, YOU see that
] have beaten you badly in this trial. as
] can in all others. What have you to
say"
But the Wind had retired c%restfallen,
and was not heard again for Three
whole days thereafter.
