Poor Children.

It is well known that the children of the poor are often made to suffer at the hands of the children of the well-to-do. They are sighted, often insulted, on ac- count of their poverty. Their old and patched clothing Is laughed at; their un- couth manners often make them the butt of those whose own manners need mend ing. But if the children of the poor would turn their faces away from those who scorn them and pursue their way earnest ly, brayely, they may see the day when they will look down from superior posi- tions upon those who have but money to rest upon. In the pages of history we find the glorihed names of heroes, great genius es, statesmen, who came from the lower walks of life. One great man has told us that genius is rocked in the cradle of pow erty and obscurity. Money may give pleasure, ease, advantages, but 1t does not always prove advantageous to the youth. Indeed, 1t often curbs, or smothers alto gether his ambition. The poor boy real izes that with himself alone rests his fu- ture. He works like a hero to gain his goal The rich boy too often lets his money work for him. And in the end the child of the poor may prove the master in
 
 science, art, statesmanship, becoming leader of men, while his rich schoolmate may develop into an ordinary man with out ability to take care of the fortune which has fallen to him.
 Poor children have nothing to be ashamed of. Every path is open to them, and the petty trials attending their earlier school days-the sights and insults of Il. ~aIoe Ane e1n hn fn fIa0Frr simply trifes. Instead of suffering from injured feelings, or holding in their hearts envy or hatred against the children of the rich, they should feel only pity for those who so far forget themselves and their duty toward their less fortunate class mates that they can stoop to such un- worthy behavior. The noble boy and girl never allow money to influence them. It is ability, earnestness and worth that counts for everything with them.

 "To remove three of those bananas, my dear Miss. Otherwise, you may die. They'll choke your poor little stomach to death, you see."
 Sally threw herself on her face and be- gan to weep, for the Squee-gee mans words frightened her so terribly that for a moment she did not feel the awful pains that chased each other in a mad frolic about in her poor little stomach.
 "Oh, I don't want to have my stomach cut open," she walled. "Oh, I wish l had not disobeyed my mamma. I knew when I ate the three bahamas that I was doing wrong, for my mamma had often told me not to eat more than one at a time. But I was such a pig"
 "Pig! Ho, ho, ho! Just hear that, Doc tor Squee-gee! cried the awful hunch- back assistant. "Isn't that too funny? A little girl pig Ho. ho ho! I shall surely die of laughing"

 'Yes, darling. and the older they get the more they suffer for their wrongdoing. So, my Title daughter must grow better and better as she grows older"
 'I shall, Mamma, shall," declared Sally May earnestly. And never shall I forget that Squee-gee doctor, the hunchback, and their terrible knife and scissors. Ugh.' but at that moment the doctor came and Sally May had to be quiet and swallow some very bad medicine.

shall surely find one lad who is wholly unselflsh When one Is found he must be brought to me at once"
 The good kings command was obeyed, and that same day twenty of the wisest and best men of the kingdom were sent Into the various corners and byways of the realm to find one wholly unsehsh youth that he might be taken to the king.
 The search lasted for many, many months, one by one of the wise men re- turning to the king declaring they had not yet found one wholly unsefsh youth. And after the last of the twenty wise men had returned disconsolate to his king, declaring 'I have failed In the search, Sire" the king was very sad. But his duty said "Go you yourself and search for the wholly unselhsh boy. You

 Because he must have a bed to lie on and roof to shelter him from the night dews," explained the boy.
 And will your master give these to him7'' asked the king
 "I will give them to him." said the boy. My master is not very kind man and wolld not give anything to beggar, for he says he has no sympathy for one who lives on aims. So he would turn this old man out in the world, i'll and starving. But he will not object to my sleeping in the corner of the cowshed and allowing this old man to have my bed in the attic.
