The Infant Mind Shoots.

Miss Minerva had bought book for
Billy entitled Stories Of Great and
Good Men, which she frequently read
to him for his education and improve
ment. These stories related the prin-
cipal events in the lives of the heroes
but never mentioned any names, al
ways asking at the end, Can you tell
me who this man was?'
Her nephew heard the stories SO
often that he had some expression or
incident by which he could identify
each, without paying much attention
while she was reading
He and his aunt had just settled
themselves on the porch for reading.
Jimmy was on his own porch cutting
up funny capers, and making faces for
the other child's amusement.

Billy made a pretense behind his

hands and ground the imaginary ball
into his hip.
She looked at him sterrly over her
