LITTLE FOLKS SAYINGS

LITTLE country boy of years
n looked in astonishment upon the
things he received Christmas
morning. He placed everything in a
heap ON the floor, walked aroud the
pile several times, then. sitting down
in his little rocking chair, he rocked
for a while apparently in deep thought.
AT last, looking up, he said: NAM
ma, l think l ought to thank the Good
Man for all these things, don't you?"
A 5-year-old girl was greatly aston
ished to find she had a real, live little
brother Christmas morning.
Did it come all the way down from
heaven?" she asked.
The nurse nodded mysteriously.
How many miles is it to heaven?"
she asked.
Il don't know said the nurse
And did Santa Claus bring it?" she
asked.
''To be sure said the nurse.
mo wonder, then, l only got just one
Teddy bear. I'D rather old Santa Claus
would bring my little brothers and sis
ters some other morning." she said with
disgust in her tones.
s.
Darling. you have been so naughty
ills year l1ldI you HlUSI turn over Il
new leaf tomorrow, New Years morn
ing" said fond mamma to her z
year-old son.
An hour later she found him on the
floor slowly turning over the leaves OF
new book.
I'm turning over new leaves, mann
ma, so that can be better after this" :"
he said.

WHY KITTY is "PUss"

A great many years ago the people
of Egypt, who had many idols, wor-
SHIPPED the cat, among others. They
thought she was like the moon, be-
cause she was more active at night and
because her eyes changed like the moon.
So they made an idol with cats head
and named it Pasht. The same name
they gave to the moon, for the word
means ''the face of the moon" The
word has been changed to PAS and
'Pus," and has come at last to be
"PusS," the name the most of US give
to the cat.=ROstOn Transcript
