BILLY AND THE DWARF.


Billy was called q bo;hersome boy.
His brothers and sisters thought him
a bother because he was always teas
ing them. The neIghbors closed their
doors when they saw him coming. for
he was sure TO get into mischief. The
chickens all ran into q corner Of the
yard when he came. for he was likely

and hid. too. for he Was not good to
them.
Billy sat one evening on Q hassock.
He was lonely, and he was thinking.
Il guess nobody likes me-" when sud
denly Q funny little man. about As
big a. his thumb. hoped upon his
knee. DO you want me to help
your" said the funny dwarf.
Yes" said Billy. IF you will make
people like me-"
Il WILL" said ne. But you must
promise to do everything ! say.
will get into your coat pocket. and
you must listen and obey"
Billy thought II would be very nice
to have the tiny creature always with
him. 50 he promised. Then he lifted
him gently into his pocket.
Just then his father called: BILLY,
run into the house for my newspa-
per-"
Billy was just on the point OF say
ing. Cant somebody else get it,"
when the dwarf called in his sharp
little voice: Run, Billy, run on tip
toe" Then Billy ran on tiptoe, found
his fathers paper. and brought it
with a smile.
Just then Billy heard the voices OF
his brothers and sisters, who had
been to the woods for flowers and
birch. They had gone without invit-
ing Billy, for they thought he would
be in the way. Billy ran to meet
them.
Il think you're real mean" he was
about to say, when khe dwarf whis-
pered: Billy, share your apples"
Now, Billy had a bagful that his
uncle had given him. He had meant
to eat them all himself; but when
he heard that tiny voice, he skipped
away to the shed, got his bag of ap-
pies, and gave big rosy one to each
of his brothers and sisters They
were surprised, and they gladly
shared their birch and flowers with
the little brother who had been SO
generous to them.
Early the next morning Billy re-
membered that the old hen had a
coopful Of fluffy yellow chickens. AS
soon as he dressed he ran out to see
them. He found them all running to
hide under their mothers wing. One
chicken lost it's way, and Billy began
chasing it. But the dwarf, still rest
ing In his pocket, whispered: "Give
them some breakfast, Billy"
Billy heard the little voice. Then
he ran quickly and shelled an ear of
corn for the mother hen. He mixed
some Indian meal with water in q big
yellow bowl for the chickens. They
all gathered around while he fed
them, and as he did not try to catch
them. Billy knew that they were

up to snatch the big hat and throw
1t over the fence, when the tiny dwarf
called out: Ask him to play ball
with you"
Sam ,Sambo. will you play with
my new ball at recess?" said he.
Yes. said Sambo. De you mean
it?"
ITO be sure" said Billy with a
smile.
The boys had a fine game Of ball
at recess, and in a few days Sambo
had learned that Billy was always
good to him now.

No Strangers Allowed.

Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster
general Of the United States, takes the
deepest interest In even the smallest
details of the postal service. One eve
ming he was at the Union station in
Washington, when he decided to go
into one of the railway mail service
cars to see how the mail matter was
being handled. Being a tall man and
very athletic, he easily swung himself
from the platform into the car, but he
did not find 1t an easy matter to stay
put. A burly postal clerk grabbed
him by the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practi-
cally elected him to the platform be-
low.
What do you mean by that?" ask
ed Hitchcock Indignantly.
81 mean to keep you out of this
car" replied the clerk roughly. THAT
fellow Hitchcock has given us strict
orders to keep all strangers out Of
these cars."-Popular Magazine.

All this over emphasis of the un-
meaning surface is due to a confusion
of newspaper and literary standards,
ends, aims. The word literary has come
to suggest an absence of red-blood;
spinners and knitters in the sun; the
85 cent magazine crowd; this is non
sensical, Of course. In it's elemental
meaning literature is at least as stern
jab as journalism, albeit the inten-
ton and function of the latter IS mere
ly to present things that happen, of
the former to volatilize such material
into lowering and potent meanings, to
strike the rock and raise spirit that
is life.

NO SLEEPING BAG FOR THEM
laplanders Preferred the Snow and

Comfortable Night.

Sir Henry Lucy tells in the Corn

had from hansen, the explorer. 1t
amusingly illustrates the hardy health
of the Laplanders.
Part of Nansen's equipment for his
trip across Greenland consisted of two
sleeping-bags made of undressed
skins. On the first night of the jour
ney Nansen and his two Norwegian
companions got into one of the bags,
pulled the mouth tight across their
necks, and so slept in the snow with
only their heads out.
Before retiring for rest, Nansen saw
the three Laplanders he had engaged
for the expedition cozily tucked into
the other sleeping-bag. When he
awoke In the morning, almost numb
with cold, he observed that the bag
In which he had tied up the Lapland-
ers was empty, and that they were no.
where In sight. He was afraid they
had deserted him, and scrambling
out Of the bag, went In search of
them. He found the three men fast
asleep behind a hillock of snow that
they had scraped together as a pro-
lection against the wind.
"Ah, master" they said, when ask
ed to explain this extraordinary con-
duct, I'VE couldn't sleep in that thing.
1t was too hot, so we got out and
have had a comfortable night here"
