to be the driver. guess this is my
cart" Nearly always the others would
do as he said, because they knew that
II they did not he would go into the
house and take his cart with him, and
SO all their fun would be spoiled.
On Christmas morning Arthur was,
OF course, happier than usual, for
good old Santa Claus had brought him
many things that he wanted-a new
set of harness with bells on it and
whip with fine snapper on the end
and lots besides.
1t took good while to look these
things all over and try them, SO that
Arthur was in no hurry to go out, but
when he did get ready he saw for the
first time that there was no one at all
In the yard.
This made Arthur a little unhappy.
He wanted the other boys to see the
new harness and to hear the whip
crack, and he wished to try the whip
on them when they were hitched to the
express wagon. But no one came, and
so at last he got out the express cart
and put the harness in it ana the new
whip In the socket and started off
down the street.
He did not see a single boy till he
got round the corner into the next
block. But there he found some very
lively fun. All the boys were there,
and none of them had missed him or
thought Of them, for Santa Claus had
done strange thing. To every boy on
the street he had brought something
that had wheels. There were four red
express carts and two blue ones, and
there was one long hook and ladder
truck with real ladders and loud
gong, and there was an automobile
with room for one boy to drive it with
his feet, like bicycle, and another to
ride as passenger behind him.
When Arthur came up to the other
boys they did not even stop their play
to look at him or to speak to him, and
when he tried to show them the new
harness and the whip they did not
seem to care about them at all, but
went on playing fireman, with the au-
tomobile for the chiefs carriage, the
hook and ladder truck next and all
the express carts for hose carriage,
stringing out behind. All they would
let Arthur do was to drag his own
cart. the last Of all, and to yell fire
with the rest of them.
Never since then has there been any
line of boys waiting in the morning on
Arthurs back piazza or any humping
of rubber boot heels while he takes his
time eating his breakfast. The BOYS
still play with him. but now it is
Because he has become more unselfish
and has begun to see that the way to
keep friends is not by having a red
express cart. but by being fair and
kind and letting others have their turn
and their share Of the fun.-Youth's

A Selfish
Boys LESSON.

OF all the boys on Elm street there
aTas not one who had so many friends
as Arthur Perry. There was never any
need for him to look about or go up
or down the street to find some one to
play with. From six to dozen small
boys like himself were waiting about
Arthurs back door every morning or In
his big yard before he had breakfast.
Ie was very pleasant to Arthur to
have so many friends and to know
that they loved him so much that they
would come round early every morn
ing and were glad to play with him
all day. But there was one thing that
he did not think about at all, and that
As what they came for.
He knew that some one OF the boys
always said the first thing: "Where is
the cart? Go get 1t out" But that
seemed to him all right, for he owned
the only cart on the street-a fine red
express wagon.
1t seemed quite right to Arthur that
because his cart was the only one on
the street he was always sure Of some
one to play with and could always do
what he wanted to, no matter IL the
other boys wished to do something
else.
II when he had been driving and the
other boys had been the horses one
of them stopped and said, eLet me
drive now, and you be horse" he
would very often say: mo; I'm going
