THE SCOUTS OF SPRING.

The child at the window turned away
With parting glance at the
leaden skies.
And the look in the depths OF his
wistful eyes
Was hopeless and dull as they:
SO came the night down, cold and
gray,
When the unseen sun had set.
Cold as the ashes Of yesterday
The morning breaks. and yet
The scouts OF spring we're abroad In
the night,
heard them riding the rain.
I knew the touch OF their fingers
light
As they sweryed aside In their airy
fight
And tapped at the window pane.
They swarmed like bees In the outer
gloom:
heard them whispering there,
And sensed the mmomentarily in
the room
When their breathing tinged with
faint perfume
The heavy sIumber air.
SO hither and yon they danced and
leapt;
And over one pillow they softly crept
And called 10 the wild
Young heart OF the child,
Till the little limbs stirred and the
thin lips smiled
And he laughed aloud as he slept.
But there came a change at the wane
OF night,
And down from the hill.
Where they'd long lain still,
The springs outriders broke In flight.
And up from the east rose the
morning gray
Cold as the ashes OF yesterday.
.
"wakei" cried the child beside my
bed:
Come 70 the beechwood, Sleepy
headl
Wonders await you there. See
here.
snowdrops. sweetest and FIRST OF
the year.
Wake for the spring Is come" he
said.
Gray Is the morning, gray and cold.
All! but the depths OF his shining
eyes,
Blue as the heart OF the violet, hold
Joy and the glory OF summer skies,
And their secrets manifold.

WHY HE USED THE BAD WORD
Little Matt Explained That the Two
Pigs He Was Driving Got
His Goat.

Matt Perkins. engine driver on the
New York Central, thought his little
farm, out near Peekskill, wouldn't be
complete without pigs. SO he bought
a couple and had them sent OUT
much to the dismay of Willie, his
Oldest boy, who tearfully protested
that the family would be disgraced If
their acquaintances found they kept
pigs. m
But the father was obdurate, and
assigned to Matt. Jr.. his six-year-old
and youngest hopeful, the task Of
caring for the pigs. This has proved
hard task, and little Matt has been
having his troubles during the hot
weather.
One day the pigs. being pigs, roamed
far afield. Matte, rounding them up.

his mother happened to be- Matte
was talking to the pigs in no uncer-

The mother promptly called him to
task. and Matte. having penned in
the pigs, returned, hot and red of
face, to the veranda.
