FOR THE CHILDREN
Two Good Tricks.


Take a quarter of a dollar between
the thumb and foreinger of the right
hand then by rapid twist of the
fingers twirl the coin by the same mo-
tion that you would use to spin a tee
totum, at the same time rapidly close
your hand, and the coin will disappear
up your coat sleeve. You can now open
your hand, and, much to the astonish-
ment Of your audience, the coin will
not be there
This capital trick may be varied in
hundred ways. One good way is to
take three dimes or quarters and. con-
cealing one in the palm of your left
hand. place the other two, one each
between the thumb and forefnger of
each hand Then give the coin in the
right hand the twirl as already de-
scribed. and. closing both hands quick
ly, the coin in the right hand will dis
appear up your sleeve, and the left
hand on being Enclosed will be found
to contain the coins, while that which
was in the right will have disap-
peared Thus you will make the sur
prised spectators believe that you con-
jured the coin from the right hand into
the left

A FLOWER FOR BABY.s GRAVE.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nys.

A FLOWER FOR BABY'S GRAVE.
This is true story OF what hap
pened in Prospect Hill cemetery at
Omaha, Neb.:
Two boys. just average American
boys, were strolling through the Gene
terry. Many of the graves were dec
Grated with flowers.
In that walk the lads came across q
small grave that had no flowers on it.
The younger boy, aged about seven
years, stopped and looked at the grave.
He turned about to see if any one was
near. The coast seemed clear. He
crept over to q nearby mound that was
almost covered with fine blossoms
Telling his companion to keep watch,
the little fellow selected several bou-
quets from the well decorated grave.
Secreting the flowers under his jacket,
he crept back to the neglected little
mound and gently and lovingly be-
slowed them upon the tiny grave.
The two little fellows walked quiet
ly away, speaking no word to each 9th
er until they reached the street.
Then the younger said, THAT wasn't
stealin'. was it?'
Course 1t wasn't" responded the
other Don't you think that little
baby had just as much right to flow
ers on its grave as some of those old
folks ?"
Aye, boy, why not?
Somebody had forgotten baby's
grave. That was no reason why boy
should stand by and allow it. That
was no reason why the tender feelings
of two boys should be hurt.
Benisons on their heads-and hearts!
They felt the reproach caused by the
neglect Of the baby's friends. They re-
moved the reproach and repaired the
neglect by taking a few flowers that
would not be missed.
Trust the sweet, tender instinct of a
right thinking lad to do justice and
love mercy.
IT WAS NOT STEALING.
| don't care what the calf or buck
ram bound books in the law library
have to say about what the boys did.

law, why
