How He Got Home.

Jack had paid his way always. Out
of the poverty of his childhood, he had
fought his way through the university.
After graduation he felt he must see
Europe. and with the little accumula-
ton he had, he crossed the pond"
trusting to good luck to get him home
again. But his trip Of sightseeing over
he found himself in Liverpool, without
money and with no means of getting
any.
He thought he would just go down
to the steamer, go on board and see
how it would seem if only he were
going home.
AS he wandered over the big liner
his attention was attracted by cry
ing baby. The mother was travelling
alone, and while she was attempting
to see to all the thousand and one
details incident to the beginning OF
an ocean trip, the baby and resented
the neglect he felt he had received
and was crying. The mother was at
her wits end.

three brothers Became Trees.

There was once three brothers who
went to see the lord of life and win
their hearts desires. One, though tall
enough, wished to be taller still. He
had tried in many ways to make HIM
self taller, because he wished to be
admired and looked up to by smaller
people. and win the love of the beauti-
full Indians of his tribe. To make
himself look taller than he really was,
he put soft clay into the mocassins,
to raise him on his feet, and he plas-
tered up his hair to stand high, and
on top of it was long turkey tail.
But what he wished for was to be tall
er still. The second brother asked
that he might live always, where he
might behold all the beauty of the
land, and rest in peace forever; the
third brother asked to live to great
age and always to be healthy till he
died.
Now, when the lord of life heard
what they desired he summoned his
servant, the earthquake, and COM
manded him to set them firmly with
their feet fast planted in the ground,
and when this was done the three
brothers were turned to pine trees.
The lord of life paid heed to their
wishes, for he gave them what they
most desired.
He who would be tall overtopped
all the trees in the forest; even the
turkey tail was not forgotten; it
waves to this hour, and on summer
days the giant tree sways and MUIR
murs with pride.
The second brother, who wished to
dwell in peace upon the earth, will do
so while he is rooted to the ground,
and the third, who wished to live to
the end in perfect health, is still
standing straight and sturdy in the
Washington Star.
