at the expense of their friends with no

gayeties for which others pay, who
accepts favors and is churlish about

SIT UP STRAIGHT.

Your backbone was not made for a
barrel hoop; do not curve it around
but rather straighten it out. God made
man upright, not round-shou1dered,
humpbacked, or bending over.
If you bend over too much in your
studies, get lower seat Saw the
legs off an old chair, and then sit
down so low that your chin will come
just above the table, make the hind
legs little shorter than the fore legs,
and then read and write with your
arms on the table, and it will take out
some of the crook from your back.
One mother whose daughter was
getting the habit of STOPPING used to
have her lie fat on her back without
a pillow, for an hour each day while
she read to her out of some interesting
book In little while she was as
straight as need be, and a picture of
health and strength.
In some countries the women carry
pals, tubs and heavy loads upon their
heads-this keeps them erect. Throw
ing back the arms is another means of
keeping straight. Remember you may
add years to your life by standing up
straight; and you may not only have a
longer life, but stronger, broader,
deeper, happier, and more useful life
If you go about with head erect, chest
expanded, and lungs. we'll developed,
with rosy cheeks and fresh complexion
than if you go about bent over, cramp-
ed up, STOPPING, fiat-chested, sallow,
nervous, and miserable.
Remember, God made man up
right"

Keep, Lord thy child in poverty.
If wealth must dim his eyes
To the beauty of Thy pictured. earth,
The glory of Thy skies.
And in Thy mercy send defeat,
If victory's fruit must be t's

II victory cost him Thee.

A little hand to lead me forth
TO meadows of the morn
Blow, Sir Trouble, the worlds audible
shall not hear your horn!
a little Questioner to stay
The tumult and the thought,
That erst would mar the vocal way,
With golden marvels fraught.
A little face to look upon,
A little comrade-child
To make the turgid heart that aches
Content and reconciled;
A little hour in fields to dwell
And in the common clod
See things that spell on hill and dell
The handiwork of God
A little footstep at my side,
A little throat that sings
The music of the meadow brooks,
The ballad of the springs;
A little heart to set me free
From worry and from care.
Along the pathway of the bee,
:
A little cheek that shames the rose,
little faith and trust
Goodbye to avenues of toll!
Goodbye to steam and dust!
The world is ringing with the song
OF wonder where we go,
And we are children that belong
To wonderland, you know.
To wonderland and summer-land,
And every land that lies
Under the sweetness of the dew,
The zephyr of the skies.
O little babe, o little life,
Within the hills we'll hide,
Until there is not any strife
Around the whole world wide!
Until the little shadows fall,
The gloW-worms flash and shine,
And thou canst lay thy little head
Upon this breast of mine,
To travel farther than we know
In worlds of childhood dream,
Where only for the little child
The lights of wonder CLEAN.
A little hand within my hand,
Down to the greenwood way
The wounds of worry and of strife,
They shall be healed today!
Goodbye to trouble, the worlds a
bubble,
Goodbye to stormy weather!
Hand in hand to the sunshine land,
My child and together!

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
WHEN GRANDPA WAS A LITTLE
BOY.

When grandpa was little boy,
He wore the oldest clothes;
Low shoes, round jacket, and fiat cap,
And snowy cotton hose.
A crimson muffler, waistcoat green,
And pantaloons of white;
Dressed up on Sundays in his best,
He must have looked a fright.
So guess it doesn't matter much,
If you can frisk and run,
The fashion of the clothes you wear,
For grandpa had his fun
