THE WISH-BONE

It Is the hardest thing to do
To have a single wish come true.
I've hoped and hoped just one to get
And not a thing has happened yet
But now I'm sure know the way
To make a wish come true some day.
A wish-bone l am going to take,
And when it's dry enough to break,
IN either hand I'll take an end.
And when they both begin to bend,
Ial think of something that l need,
And wish it very hard, indeed;
And then whichever wins the game,
! shall be lucky Just the same.
1t is so plain, l wonder why
No one has ever thought to try?
But I'll not tell my wish to you
Unless the thing l wish comes true.

Father and the driver pulled in the
reins with all their strength, but
as they did this the horses heels
struck the dashboard with a bang.
The men loosened their hold and the
horses went all the faster. They
were in danger of having their knees
smashed by the hoofs, which constant

miles from Monroe! IA
The sequeal is soon told. When
the buggy stopped the driver went
on for his horses and father waited
for the man to come up who had

him to take him to the next village,

Why is it that Europe in this age

much money and devote SO much
energy to the improvement Of natu-
raj commercial waterways and to the
construction OF those which are

A MARROW ESCAPE.

Several years ago, when my father
was In Monroe. Mich, he hired a
liveryman to drive him out into the
country a few miles, where he had
to go on business. They started in
q buggy at 10 O'Clock in the morning,
and all went well until about 4 N
the afternoon, when, as they were
driving home behind their two beau
tiful spirited horses, the driver gave
the right hand horse a cut with the
whip. Not being used to such treat
ment, 1t began to prance, and be-
fore it was quieted he deliberately
struck the left hand horse in the
same manner, upon which that horse
also showed resentment The driver
pulled in on the reins and tried to
calm them, but this only excited them
more and more. and finally they
started on a run.
Father, seeing that the driver
could not hold the horses alone. took
hold of the reins, too. The. horses
were going like lightning by this
time along the wide, straight road
which stretched out in front Of them

SELFRELIANCE MARKS THE
GIRLS

Let US be serious for a moment. A
very great man once pronounced
these singular yet deeply significant
words: "A little child shall lead
them" Can these words mean any
thing else than that the spirit of
childhood-the hope, the faith, the
utter unconsciousness of real wrong
lis not only the finest thing in the
world, but also the most powerful
creative force. The girl of the old
world is borne down by the dead
weight of age-old customs, traditions
and prejudices. She, in so far as she
is influenced by her elders. is sus-
picious because she has never known
how to be young, says Oliver Opp
In Success. She is old with the age
of her race. But 1t somehow seems
to me that the wonderful innocence
Of the American girl, the splendid
oblivion to the evils of a scanned
and checkered old world, sum up
better and more completely than any
thing else the hopefulness and the
youth of this young nation of ours.
Since we must rely on her to, found
our homes, and through them our
institutions. can we be sorry that
this childlike innocence and optimism
Is so strong In her?
My British friend has travelled
