Vacation Days.

When Johnnie comes to grandma's house old Tow
runs away,
The kitten climbs the apple tree and stays up there
all day;
The chickens in the barnyard are as fustered as
can be
They don't approve of little boys, as any one can
see.
And many night before he comes, poor Nora lies
awake
Devising hiding places for the things that he
might break
The jam and jelly's sure to be up the highest
shelf,
But grandma gets them down. sometimes, and bids
himself help himself.
When Johnnie comes to grandma's house there's
mud upon the floor,
And thumb-prints the banisters and grease on
every door.
The house is always upside down the whole time he
Poor Nora signs and wonders why dear grandma
doesn't care.
But when at last that boys in bed and everything
is still,
Old Towser leaves the barn and Tabby ventures
forth at will
It's then the much-abused armchair holds
clave in the dark
With the old clock in the corner, standing there so
stiff and stark
'Im quite worn out" she Imply signs; since that
young scapegrace John,
Came out from town I've been at times most
rudely sat upon"
ut beats my time" the clock replies, chow modern
young folks do;
It wasn't SO in my day. What's the world a-com-
ing tot"
And the cause of all the trouble-do you think the
rascal cares?-
Is miles away in Slumber Land in his small bed up
stairs.
But grandma says when she goes in to tuck the
blankets down,
Dear, dear, we will be lonesome when that boy
goes back to town."

the passengers The train had just left One Hun

saw entering the car a little boy about six years
DID, half carried by an older boy, evidently his
brother. Both were well dressed but at first glance
it was that the little fellow was blind. He had
a pale, wan face, but was smiling. quick look of
sympathy passed the faces of the passengers
and an old gray-haired man got up and gave his
seat to the two. The "big brother" who was about
eleven years old, tendery lifted up the little blind
boy and placed him on his knee.
"How's that?" he asked.
Nice said the little chap. Where's my mon
leap
This puzzled some of the passengers, and several
turned to see what the child meant. But the "big
brother" knew, and Immediately drew out small
mouth harmonca and placed it in the little fellows
hands. The little fellow took the instrument into
his thin hands, ran it his lips and began to
play softly, Nearer Ny God to Thee" Tears came
into the eyes of the old gentleman who had given
up his seat, and there many moist eyes in the
car.
The train rushed along, the passengers listened
and the little fellow played treessly never miss

and told the little to get ready to leave the
train nearing their station. Then, if he knew
he had whole load of friends, the blind
boy quickly changed "The Suwanee River" into
"Auld Lang Syne" and with one accord the pas
sengers burst into a round of applause, while the

What a Daughter Can Do.

There is so much daughter can do for her
mother that it is hard to know where to begin. For
years the mother has had the entire charge of
both, and it is time she were relieved. Remem-
Der, girls, that all your lives your mothers have
been sacrificing themselves for you. Now you have
a chance to reverse things. Your shoulders are
young and strong; help lift the burden little
from the tired shoulders that have borne it long
Patiently and uncomplainingly she has drudged
along with thoughts but for her children's vel

as well as duty, to bring little recreation and
pleasure into her mothers life. Let her see that
you appreciate all that she has done for you.

Essay on Ducks.

A schoolboy assigned to prepare essay on
ducks, submitted the following:
"The duck is low, heavy-set bird composed
mostly of meat and feather, He is a mighty poor
singer having hoarse voice, caused by getting so
many frogs in his neck. He likes the water and
carries toy balloon in his stomach to keep from
sinking. The duck has only two legs, and they are
set so far back on his running gears by nature
that they come pretty near missing his body Some
ducks when they get big have curls their tails
and are called brakes. brakes don't have to set or
hatch, but just loaf and go swimming and eat
everything in sight. If l was to be duck I
would rather be drake

Little Tommv,s Politeness.

Little Tommy was polite,
And always knew his place;
He never yelled or whistled while
His pa was saying grace.
He said Excuse me" when he pushed
His sister down the stairs,
And begged his mothers pardon when
He added to her cares.
When visitors got ready to
Depart he always rose;
lie never used his napkin when
He wished to wipe his nose.
And if he dumped the baby from
The hammock or upset
Its carriage, he would hasten to
Express sincere regret.
lie bought a cannon cracker which
Was big and red and round,
And blew his brother up and tore
A big hole in the ground.
He saw the fragments float away,
And sadly sighed, and then
Politely called: Excuse me, please;
It won't occur again"

needy could not build the road by
himself and he so stated when
he first came TO Memphis, and
without the cooperation Of the
people along the proposed line it
could not be built. Mr.. Kennedy

to a trunk line and that road
will be built at once. Now the
