1t was the early hours of the
morning, and not yet light, when
Brown woke up with a sense of i'm

Mrs. Brown would want to know
why.

'Many happy returns of the day,
my dear!' he chortled. GAS it is
your birthday, l have got a little
surprise for you. Be quick, and

Full of anticipation, the good
lady followed him and was just in
time to see him kick the dog out of
the house and stare in amazement
at the empty plate.

But he had overlooked one little

HERoIsM OF EIeHT-YEAR-oLD.

A remarkable story of the heroism
of a boy of eight was told at the Liv-
erpool ENG coroner's court recent
ly. Charles Abbott, who, with his
brother and sisters, resided with his
greataunt at Moss Farm, Walton,
awoke half an hour after going to
bed to find his room full of smoke.
Seeing his greataunt with her cloth
ing on fire, he climbed the banisters
to get buckets of water, which he
promptly poured over her. Then, ap-
prehensive of further danger, he
made his way to the bedroom of his
brother, aged four, whom he carried
downstairs on his back, and returned
again for another child aged six.
Unhappily his greataunt died from
shock.

Farming and Education.

Among recent features of the
back-to-t he-soil movement, one of
the most encouraging is the fact
that farming has come to be recog-
nized by high-school pupils Chan
whom there is no class more super
ciciliousD as a worthwhile voca-
ton, as good in its way as business
or engineering. The high-school
boy of a few years ago scarcely
would have cared to acknowledge
that he intended to become a
farmer unless he was an abund-
antly courageous character. We
should like to find out what pro-
portion of this years crop of high
school graduates in city and in
town schools are declaring them
selves for farming.

Lincoln Steffens, the we'll known

A short time ago Mr.. Steffens
made a speech advocating his theo-

who would to join his Gree Speech
