Here there was great clapping of
hands and shout of applause. "Or-

all quieted down again, the monkey
said, Now, Mr.. Horse" Then the
horse arose and said, "Tf Billy Postum
dares come in here I shall kick him
out faster than he came In" and with
that he lay down again. Then the
monkey said, TT seems to be the opin-

Hy HERE wasn't a sweeter little boy
in the world than Eddie Knolton
\ when he first came to school. II
was a pleasure just to look into his
laughing blue eyes, hear his clear ring
ing voice and watch his sturdy little
form on the playground with other boys
or sitting quietly at his desk in the
schoolroom studying his lessons.
isn't he sweet?" was the general re-
mark of everyone who saw him.
His teacher was proud of him as she
could be, not only of his correct deport-
ment, but of the rapid advancement he
made in his studies.
At the end or month he could read
every word in the primer, write his own
name and address, count up to a hum
dred and add little sums. He was pro-
NOTED to the first reader, given his first
copybook and a speller and primary
arithmetic.
He was big boy now and must have
a satchel In which to carry his books,
though he was only 6 years of age.
In two months more he had con-
quered the first reader, mastered his
arithmetic and could spell every word
in his primary speller.
His teacher hoped great things of
ing what wonderful things their Eddie
could do.
He had barely reached years old
when a larger boy, whom he had turned
in his class, said: you may be smarter
than l am with your books, but you
can't lick me. Come on, IL you want to
try it," and Eddie, just then feeling as
strong as lion, pitched into the boy
larger than himself and gave him the
worst whipping he had ever had in his
life. He went into the schoolhouse cry
ing and with the blood flowing from his
nose, closely followed by the smiling
Eddie.
"Oh. Eddie! did you do that?" asked
his teacher.
HE told me 1 couldn't lick him. and
so thought l would try it," was the
reply
''But only toughs and DULLES fight"
said the teacher.
But those words did not make much
impression on Eddie. He was thinking
it wouldn't be so bad to be a tough II
he could only always lick.

needed"
They all went on talking this way,
each giving some reason for not want
ing to lose Teddy, until the French doll
called out: Let us settle this at once
by keeping Teddy and taking Billy
'Possum in too"
DO you all agree to this?"
Eyes, yes,'' cried all the toys to-
gether, IF our mistress will agree
also"
''I am sure she WILL" said the French
doll and l guess she did, for that was
how it was decided. suiting every one.

fireman. Wouldn't you rather be ruled

flesh and then being unable to let it
alone.
Eddie became the greatest pugilist in
school. He was continually fighting
with some one. In vain his teacher
made him write a thousand words or
kept him in every recess for a week;
the fighting went on.
Things went ON from bad to worse,
until one day in his desire to whip, Ed
die so pummeled a boy that he was
sick for weeks
The teacher had to turn Eddie out of
school then. and she did 1t with tears
in her eyes; but as Eddie marched off
he said: IT don't care. Only got sent
home because 1 can lick every boy in
school,"
Eddie soon became what is called "a
street urchin!" His hand turned against
everybody and everybody's hand turned
against him.
One day a kind-man found him in the
streets and so admired his physique and
beauty that he asked him to go home
with him, where his own son, 2 years
older, had been belfast for months with
an incurable ailment.
Poor, sick Cyril admired Eddie at
once. He felt his arms and muscles and
said plaintively: ooh, If was only as
plish something's"
"You could lick everybody" said
Eddie, proudly.

Then Cyril told him, and Eddie went
away with better desires. From that
time he did less fighting and more work.
finding 1t a greater achievement to
build something than to lick" some
one.
He visited Cyril often; frequently re-
manned all night with him, his greatest
pleasure seeming to be when he could
take him up in his arms and move him
from one position to another: once say
ing: 1T is the duty for the strong TO

strength is given to me for. am never

Rinqs of Glass

1t is always a great satisfaction to
make something out of nothing, and a
bottle with a broken-off neck is worth
just about nothing and is generally
considered as fit only for the ash pile;
but there is a better way to treat it
than that. In fact, it may be turned
into neat and serviceable vessel; or
you may make out of 1t a number of
glass rings that may not be of any par
ticular service, but they certainly will
be curiosities.
Place the broken bottle on the table
and pour oil into it until it reaches
point just below the jagged edge. Your
object is to cut off this jagged part.
and leave the rim smooth all around:
in other words. you wish to convert the
broken bottle into a sort of tumbler.
All you have to do is to plunge into the
oil red-hot poker, and the glass will
suddenly break straight around on
level with the oil.
That will give you vessel that the
cook viii be sure to find use for. The
only trouble is that she will bring you
all the broken bottles she can find for
similar treatment.
Now, If you want to make rings, say
half an inch in width, pour out half an
inch of the oil each time, and use the
red-hot poker as above directed.

willing for Mr.. Postum to take the
place of Mr.. Teddy Bear?'

said Little Teddy. II am tired of be-

am perfectly willing to let Billy Pos

This was very long speech for
Teddy, and he lay back exhausted
II think we ought to consider what
Mr.. Teddy Bear says" said Mr.. Horse,
rising. "He does need a rest"
Let us vote on it, said the French
doll
They all voted, and when the votes
were counted it was found that Billy
Postum had the largest number of
votes, not because they wanted him so
badly, but because they wanted the
Teddy Bear to have a vacation.

not finish the sentence, for just then
they heard Mary and Jessie coming

when the girls came rushing in, each

part of the time was devoted to the
study of the life and deeds of Column

An amusing reply was given by one
of the pupils. A teacher had told the
class of the wonderful voyage of Co
lumbus and how he insisted on contin-
uing the voyage after the other men
were clamoring to return. Then she
asked: 'fWho was Columbus?' with thu
view of hearing how well they had fol-
