THE SNOW STORM.

What o terrible storm it was! Rob

that 1t must have been showing hard
all night, for everywhere the snow
lay deep about them. The paths

The boys were all very restless In
school that morning. They could not
seem to learn any of their lessons.
And when the time came for the
noon hour. they rushed out like so
many wild young Indians shouting
their war whoops 1t did not take one
of them more than FIVE minutes to eat
his dinner he had brought. and then
they went to work to coast It seem

minutes when the bell called them

THE pRoDIGAL SON.

He was wild. hayward boy
on in the cold world alone.
Far from home and the childhood
friends
He once was SO proud to own.
Now he cared for them no longer.
But kept on his Maynard way,
Not needing the tender warnings
They sent him day by day.
The loving words of his mother
Were valued but little It's true;
And the kind advice OF his father
Held as light as the fallen dew.
Years passed swiftly onward
TIL mother and father died.
But the boy remained n prodigal
And wandered both far and wide
He sometimes thought OF his mother.
And the sorrow he had wrought;
And he'd resolve to do better
But alas! 1t came to naught.
When he Joined his comrades wild
Tho resolve would soon he forgot:
Not another thought he gave It,
But followed the drunken lot.

Filled with tender words OF love:
1t moved the heart of the prodieal

Long he sat In the twilight
Struggling with conscience and sin
But at last he rose from his chair
And his heart fell lighter within.
He determined then to be honest

And meet his dear mother some day.
