TOMMY'S STRANGE PARTY.

Tommy Smith was spending the
winter with an uncle and aunt in the
sunny Southland. Tommy's mother
and father had gone to Europe on a
business trip, and had decided to let
Tommy remain in his native land,
thus keeping him in school without
interruption.
During the first week Of his par
ents' absence Tommy felt very lone
ly. indeed, and many were the hours
that he longed and longed to be
with Papa and Mamma, who were
sailing on the great Atlantic Ocean.
But on the second Saturday after
his parents departure Tommy was
awakened early in the morning by
his aunt, who said tot him: Come,
Thomas Henry, get up and dress
quickly. 1 have a great and SPLEEN
did Surprise in store for you today.
Don't ask single question; but get
into your Sunday suit and best hat
and shoes and be ready for break
fast within 20 minutes, for at the ex-
piration of three-quarters of an hour

Starting where?" asked Tommy,
scratching one ear and rubbing one
eye to get awake.
Now, Thomas Henry, didn't / tell
you not to ask a single question:"
And Tommy's Aunt Mary laughed
and shook her head at the stil
drowsy boy. Come, open wide your
eyes, for l promise good time is in
store for YOU And then Aunt
Mary was gone from Tommy's room
and he could hear her busting about
In the kitchen down stairs preparing
breakfast.
Tommy dashed some cold water
over his face, and was soon as wide
awake as he could be. Then, recall
ing all that his good aunt had said
to him, he almost jumped into his
Sunday best, taking pains to lace
his shoes up very neatly, not missing
a single hole.
Then down stairs he went at

hardly stopped before they made
their entrance into it, Gee whiz,
call that a scrambled" said Uncle
Joe, as soon as the three Of them
had secured two good seats, which
they turned together.
Tommy's mouth was spread from
ear to ear, for if there was anything
he really enjoyed above all other
pleasures it was riding on a rail-
road train.
We'll, I'll bet my best boots that
there's big surprise waiting at the
other end" said Uncle Joe, beaming
on Tommp. And how does this
strike you, son? About as good as
ride on the old Atlantic, being so
seasiCk that even the thought of
water makes you turn your boots in
side out?"
This is great" said Tommy, look
ing at the flying landscape.
"And it will be greater" declared
Uncle Joe.
And Uncle Joe was right. AS
soon as the train pulled into the city
station Aunt Mary said to Uncle Joe
and Tommy, pointing to a great bill
board that faced the train: "What'd
you think of going to see that this
afternoon, eh2"
THE circus!" cried Tommy.
'W'y,.I didn't know they ever had
circuses in the winter time, Aunt
Mary"
"of course, we have 'em down
here during the months you North
erners call winter" laughed Aunt
Mary.
But there was no time spent in
idle talking. Aunt Mary was host
ess for the day, and took her guests
to restaurant, where they had a
fine dinner OF fried chicken and sweet
potatoes. Tommy ate SO much that
he declared he'd not want another
bite that day.
