Walker. but was at his shop in town
busy with some work.

upon the porch. And as soon as her
eyes fell on the stranger she cried out
in a happy voice: why, if it isn't my
dear brother Jim And in another min
ute she was in the big mans arms and
crying for very joy over the meeting.
which was so unexpected.
And then Uncle Jim took Willie in his
arms and really kissed his frowzy red
head, declaring that he was fine boy
and worthy of his relationship. But that
day. after dinner, Willie heard his parents
in earnest conversation with his Uncle
Jim and heard his uncle say: 'Of course
1t can be done as slick as ribbon and
no harm done. And I've got the money
to pay for it. too" And it turned out
that it was Willie's crossed eye of which
they were speaking. and on the following
day they took him to the doctors Office.
and after being there a little while. Willie
came away with two straight eyes. But.
of course, he couldn't use his eye that
had been operated on for some days, and
had to have it closely bandaged. But
when the bandage was at last removed
by the doctor Willie was the happiest
boy in town, for now he had two eyes
exactly alike and as fine and straight as
any other boys eyes. too. AS for his
red hair-bah. he didn care fig about
that. Uncle Jim declared it would grow
darker as Willie grew older and that if
he lived long enough 1t would turn as
white as snow. And to all this Willie
laughed heartily, for he was so happy
No more would the boys laugh at him

Then you should have seen the way all
those ugly, tormenting boys did try to
get into Willie's good graces. for they
coveted a ride on the pony. Besides, the
report had been circulated about town
that Uncle Jim was a very rich man
(Which was true) and that he meant to
give his nephew all sorts of schooling and
travel (Which was true also).
And to do Willie justice-for he was
not bad boy at heart-he did not re-
sent the way the boys had treated him
in the past: but he never quite trusted
any of them save Sgd and Tom But he
treated even his former tormentors with
kindness and made them feel quite
of themselves. And to this day
they regret having made fun of the kind

King Edwards ThoughtfuIness

The tact of King Edward the Seventh
has endeared him to the hearts of people
outside of England as well as to his
own subjects. One of the attendants at
foreign court describes a recent visit
of the British monarch and the impress
sion he made. The teller of the story is
an old lady who has lived at the court
since her youth.
1.-The king came. He smiled. he beamed.
he was like the sun. He made us all feel
and yet there was no flattery. We all
fell in love with him from the moment he
kissed our queens hand.
He not only said nice things. but he
did nice things. He thought of everybody,
and we never felt that his charming
speeches and attentions came from the
idea, 1t is the tactful thing to do No.
1t all came from his heart.
"One evening there was a great function
at the palace. we had been standing for
nearly two hours. Our own queen is most
kind and considerable in these matters, but

honor, such a success, that it made her

burning sands. Here and there are green
spots, which receive the benefit of the

The Arabians are found not only in
Arabia. but also in the adjoining coun-

city. Every morning Mr.. and Mrs. Don
ovan went to factory to work. and did
not return till long after O'Clock in the
evening. Katie, being their eldest child,
was left in charge of the house and her
f1ve-year-old brother and six-months-old
baby sister,
And so it was that while most of the
other children in the tenement house had
time for play-though 1t was necessarily
in the hot and dirty street-Katie Dono-
van had time only for work. She had the
three poor living rooms to keep tidy. food
to prepare for the little ones and herself,
and the baby to mind when it was cross,
and to watch when it slept. So you chill
dren who never have to work cannot re-
alize what dull and work-worn life poor
Katie Donovan lived.
But Katie was not complaining girl
at ALL in fact, she was always in very
hopeful frame of mind. doing her work
with a will and doing it the very best she
knew how to. And her love for the little
brother and delicate baby sister prevent
ed the care of them from becoming a
hardship.
One sultry afternoon while the baby
slept Katie made hurried trip to the
market, a few blocks away. She led her
little brother with her to give him the
pleasure of going and to prevent his max
ing any noise to wake the baby during
her absence. And the two hurried
ed over her change-12 cents-and named
over the things she would buy for the
family's supper.
Five cents for bread, she began, land
five cents for sausages. That leaves two
cents for potatoes. But we've got three
potatoes in the kitchen already. And
we've got several slices of bacon, too.
which will make supper for papa. And
