TOO GOOD.

The Storyette editor sat In his
den, and his visage was puckered
and blue. He was wading through
piles of ancient jests that were stale
when the world was new. There
were jokes of the blunder that
Adam made when he was a gay
young spark. There were nautical
wheezes by mariner Noah when he
sailed with the Zoo in the Ark.
There were jokes of goats, of moth
yer-in-law, of anglers and mythical
fish. There were midsummer jest
let's, and Christmas puns-awidely
assorted dish. But the editor knew
then all by heart, and his heart
grew black with guilt as he read
the jokes that the Pharoahs told to
the crocodiles down by the Nile.
But all of sudden he gave cry
and his breath came quick and fast
and he scanned postcard eagerly
and then shouted, cat last! at last!
a bran new joke! can it be, W
gods? Yes, It's, yes, tbs, VOW
Then his brain gave way with a hor'
rid crack, and he's in the asylum
now.

telegram tJpapa< when I get through"
 Just as the clock struck 10 Rosie passed out through the front hall door, going off at a run toward the railroad station. She carried, tightly clutched in her hand, a tiny gilt purse, one which her papa had given her at Christmas. And in the purse was a silver dollar which grandmamma had given her on the same festive occa- sion. She had watched her opportunity to slip out from home while the cook was gone to market.
 Reaching the railroad station Rosie saw the train standing beside the platform. A number of people, heavily laden with luggage, were going aboard, and Rosie, asking no questions, entered one of the cars She found an unoccupied seat and took possession of the end nearest the window. Hardly had she become com fortably seated, when the cars began to move slowly out of the station.
 After few minutes Rosie found her self flying across the country at very rapid speed. "Oh I'm going to mamma, she whispered to herself, smiling happily Wont mamma be surprised when she sees me coming into auntie's house? l know the way there, too. All l have to do when I get of the train is to jump on a street car and ride till come to the park. where the fountain with the flying doves throws water about all day long, and there I will tell the street car man, who wears blue suit and brass buttons to let me off. And across the park is auntie's house. And I'll run up the steps and ring the doorbell and mamma will say to auntie: T wonder if that's the doctor or caller? And the maid will let me in and I'll run upstairs to auntie's room and say: Here's your little grille al rtl, won't that be a happy surprise for mamma? And then she'll say: What about the party this afternoonY' And I'll ask her to telegram to papa and grand mamma that I am in the city. but to let the party go right on, and to let Estelle Johnson take my place and look after everything and put my birthday presents away for me-

 During this speech from some invisible being, speech in a voice both hollow and overpowering which reverberated through the barn loft. and was accom- panied by sobbing wind and beating rain, Artie's face had grown asben, and
 he crouched down among his fellows, trying to get security from them instead of proving their protector.
 'Yes, yes, good ghost. I confess" came
 his reply in trembling tones. All the ghosts l have bragged about seeing were
 things of my own fancy. I never saw
 a ghost or a goblin in my life, nor
 never went through the graveyard at
 night.''
 Then why have you told all these
 yarns, Archibald JonesP' asked the
 ghostly voice.
 'To-to-to frighten the kids and have
 fun for myself" confessed Artie. his
 hair on end.
 "Ah, you are the biggest coward of
 them all. Archibald" declared the voice.
 You have boasted that you have no fear of a spook, and now that one has come to call on you, you tremble and con-
 fess to your own weakness. For shame.
 coward, to try to frighten your younger
 comrades, while at the same time you
 know you are telling them falsehoodsi
 For shame for trembling now when a
 real spook confronts youl May I speak with you alone, Archibald?" No, no, mol Oh, please, good ghost, let me and the boys go. I'll never make up another ghost story, never, and I'll own up to all that I have told as being lies!
 And will you confess to being a cow ard. Archibald Jones?" asked the invisi- ble spook.
 "Yes, yes, I'm an awful coward, if there are real, sure-enough spooks." fal- tered Artie.
 That will do.'' said the voice. Then
 before the frightened group of boys, with Artie in their midst, knew what was be- ing done. door right under the eve opened and a form came into the loft. The wildeyed boys stared for only mo- ment, then intelligence dawned upon them. Before them stood Jack Ball, a small megaphone in his hand His coat was dripping with rain. Holding up his hand, Jack spoke: You see, Art, couldn't stand your working on the minds of these kids any longer, so thought I'd cure you with your own med tcine. I am the spook who talked to you and wrung from you your honest confession. I hid on that little scaffold- ing under the side door there. and talked through the crack of the wall. Your fathers carpenter left the ladder against the scaffolding when he quit work on the barn roof today, so I camo up in a most natural way. And now, if you've all had enough of ghosts let's be go- ing" And Jack laughed a good-natured laugh smiling on the now amazed group of boys whose eyes had been opened by his clever little strategem And Artie vowed inwardly that he's never tell an- other ghost story.

to her the places of interest along the way and taking her to see the sights iu the city itself; so that the little girl has never realized the bigness of the city nor the many miles they traversed In reach lug it. The train has a way of getting to a place so quickly and so easily that Rosie has never given a thought to the distance 1t travels in very short time.
 Well, a few weeks before the writing of this story Rosie's mamma was called to the city to visit her sick sister, Rosie's dear Aunt Grace. And Rosie was left at home to keep papa company, and to play Little Red Riding-H Hood to grand mamma, for every afternoon Rosie, on re turning home from school, would have Ann. the cook. prepare a little basket of dainties for her to carry to Granny dear"
 One evening as Rosie sat at grand mammals side. listening to a funny old story of how monkey threw a cocoanut at n squirrel, and how the squirrel caught it and said, Thanks, MT. Monk It will serve for my supper,'' she suddenly fn- terrupted with: "Oh, Granny dear, do you know that the day after tomorrow is my birthday? Papa told me so this morning. Both papa and l nearly forgot it, for when mamma is away we forget most everything, 'cept to eat and take our Saturday bath"
 ''Ah, and so the day after tomorrow is my babys birthday" said grandmamma. musing. Surely, and so 1t is. Well, l had almost forgotten it myself. Well, we'll hope to see your mamma at home on that day. She would be very sad to spend her little Rosie's birthday away from home"
 Then Rosie and grandmamma fell to planning Some little entertainment for
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-18

Ty KNOW you have never met Rosie, k4 dear little girl six years old. for she # doesn't live in your town nor in your & county nor in your state. She lives ~ very long, long way from you, dear little reader. So I shall describe Rosie to you before 1 go on with the story in which Rosie is the heroine.
 As I have said, Rosie is six years old, or she was six her last birthday. And that was several weeks ago. In fact. it was on her sixth birthday that Rosie did something which occasioned this story. Well. to return to Rosie and let the story wait a bit. Rosie, being six years old, is not very big, as you must know, fer one is never big at six. And Rosie being such a little girl, is not very well acquainted with the ways of the world ss yet, for very young people rarely ever know much about the great Big, Busy World; they only know about Home, Papa, Mamma, Sister, Brother, Friends, Chums and School. Of course, there are many things connected with Home, Parents, Sister and Brother and Cnums and School that little folks know about; but of the mysterious Big World they are ignorant.
 Now, Rosie has no Idea of distance She lives in a pretty village, and it is three blocks from her home to her papa's store and four blocks to grandmamma s. and five blocks to the school where she goes to learn so many, many things And 1t is only a little way to every place thnt Rosie has to go. So, the world Is d small one to Rosie. Of course she has been out of the town on excursions" going on the train to the city, which is half a days journey from her home. Her papa and mamma have always gone with her on these pleasure trips, pointing out

were simply romancing and tell the youngsters that the spook stunt is all hoax, why. I'd say go ahead and build up all the ghost stories you want"
 Then the subject was dropped and Ar tie went home, creating another blood curdling "spook' story to infict on the credulous little chaps who would assem- ble in Artie's fathers barn that evening after supper.
 And Jack, vending his way homeward, in brown study, began to build plan by which he might put a stop to Artie's stories which he knew to be hurtful to both the mind and the health of the It. tie boys, many of whom were becoming such towards that the darkness of night
