the animal kingdom are meant by these busy
w v1fts1' ereataungsusan was girl, I've
often heardher say,
Children as well as grown folks were
more-useful than today,
And even birds and insects helped to do
the daily work,
And none of them were idlers or ever
cared to shirk.
Some curious things they tell us of
the beasts that watched the fire,
And of a bird that held the pot and
never seemed to tire;
A most industrious insect helped pre-
pare good things to eat,
While dainty winged worker offered
\rest to poor, tired feet.
And these were very kind, indeed, but
/ think even better
Was the interesting animal who helped
secure a letter.
And still another gentle beast, of whom
you've often read,
Gave up her forest wandering to stay
and make the bread.
Now | suppose that YOU suppose that
those I've mentioned here
Are all outlandish foreign beasts, un-
usual or queer;
But this is not the case, you'll find
when YOU have guessed them right

have toiied by day and night.

carriages filed with distinguished
citizens" In one of these carria ges
sat man of commanding figure. a
genial countenance, white hair and
kindly eyes. who repeatedly raised his
hat and bowed as the crowds on the
sidewalks cheered and waved their
flags In the rear We're more horse
men, more carriages. more brass bands
and many local fraternal societies and
pedestrians.
Queen yie's eyes grew as round as
marbles as she gazed with awe and
delight at this sight. She had never
imagined there were so many people
in all the world. But she looked in
vain for Fourth of July" Finally
she decided that the gentleman with
white hair. who kept bowling to the
shouting crowds, was the famous char
aeter she was looking for.
Presently, after marching through
the principal streets. the procession
made its way to a small grove on the
outskirts of the city. where a platform
had been erected and draped with flags.
Vic noticed that her Fourth OF July
made a speech, which was received
with much elapping of hands. but she
did not catch the name. when he was
introduced TO the audience.
After the speeches were over. the
groups, lunch baskets were opened and
picnic dinners were in order. As Aunt
Kitty took her basket from the wagon
Vic all at once remembered the melon
and what she had intended to do with
it. Without a word she slipped away
and, looking anxiously about for her
hero, discovered him seated on the
grass under a big tree. vigorously fan
ming himself with his Panama hat and,
fortunately for the timid child, all
alone. She walked up to him and stood
at his side.
