the cleanest you ever saw"
Aunt Jem smiled. A little slop
more or less wouldn't make much
difference. she thought, because the
floor would have to be scrubbed next
day anyway. But she wouldn't have
said that out loud for the world. She
took Minis grimy little hand, walk
ed in through the kitchen to the pan
try door.
"Only see!" cried Mimi.
Then Aunt Jem dropped MINIS
hand and held up both her own.
"Child alive!" she said You've
scrubbed almost every atom q paint
off! Well, did ever!" And II Aunt
Jem Cooley ever in her life felt like
scolding she did that minute.
But she didn't soold. She laughed
instead, until the tears came. And
grandma laughed. But Mimi began to
cry. Ell wanted to help, she said.
II thought was, Aunt Jem."
Aunt Jem patted the brown mead
lovingly at that.
'Well, so you were, guess, after q
fashion," said she. IT did almost wish
I'd painted it pearl color instead OF
yellow, and now I can"
And so Aunt Jem painted the pan
try floor instead Of scrubbing 1t next
day.-Youth's Companion.

FERNS GREATEST
b.. . PLEASURE.
SUMNER

Ny greatest summer pleasure was
when l went to Colorado. I went to
visit with my aunt and uncle. While
there we visited the beautiful city Of
Pueblo of over $4,000 inhabitants.
Colorado schools ranks the best Of
any states in the union. After we had
visited while with our aunt and
uncle we went to see the scenes of the
cities. There are twenty-nine city
parks In Pueblo. They keep number
lopes bob cats and many other ami
mails. And there are also many, many
kinds of animals in the city parks Of
Mineral palace grounds. There are
many beautiful flower beds also.
Three of the things I love to see
are King Coal, Silver Queen and the
beautiful cave.
We went on to Denver and went
through the beautiful capitol and saw
too many things to tell about this
time. I went through the beautiful
park consisting of three hundred and
twenty acres of land. l went through
Erics and Toolers gardens and we
went to the beautiful electric city.
Then we went down to Greed and
saw the large gold mills and the
shacks built on skids or two runners
where the gold miners lived. This
gold mill is one of the finest in the
state.
We went down to Calma, N. NJ, q
! beautiful little town surrounded by
beautiful scenery and mountains.
saw three burros loaded with the en-.
tire camping outfit of a family Of five
going up into the mountains. And
then we were in the grand city OF
Alamosa, surrounded by mountains.
saw many other things.
| We crossed the Rocky mountains
five times and then we came home.

HOW MIMI HELPED.

~ suppose I ought to go, said
Aunt Jem. ~ haven't been for three
weeks. But there's the pantry floor 10
be scrubbed and
Grandma laughed the soft, silvery
laugh that Mimi loved to hear.
"The pantry floor was fresh-painted
only a week ago. she said. so
guess it can't be over m above dlrtv:
You'd better go, daughter. Mimi and
will keep house"
"And I'll scrub the pantry floor
said Mimi eagerly. Cant l, Aunt
Jem'"
"Why. you couldn't" laughed Aunt
Jem.
ant Mimi was sure she could
cause I've seen you lots of times
fore twas painted, with soap ana
water" said she, so earnestly tnat
Aunt Jem laughed again.
"Well then. can go to the sewing
circle as we'll as not sne sala
though she hadn't the least IDEA tna'
Mimi would really think OF such a
thing as scrubbing the pantry floor.
But she did not think OF IT; ana
when Aunt Jem had gone to the cir
cle," and grandma had started on the
Journey to the Land of Nod when
she took in her big chair every after
noon, Mimi got the floor-pail and mop
and scrubbing brush and soap, and
set to work. There was plenty OF
warm whater in the tank on the
kitchen range. ;,
"And that's good thing said
Mimi to herself, "'cause this floors
orfie dirty, If grandma did think
'twasn't. I'll have to put on lots OF
soap"
So she did, and she had to get clear
water very often, too. That was the
way Aunt Jem always did when floors
| were dirty.
| 1t took a long time, Mimi found
though the pantry was not large. II
was pretty hardwork, besides; hel
poor little knees were red and sore
long before she was through. But she
worked away bravely until the las
board was soaped and scrubbed anc
she heard grandma calling.
Mimi didn't tell grandma what she
had done.
"rll s'prise her when auntie comes
home" she thought; and when a
last she saw Aunt Jem coming up the
lane, she few to meet her as though
her little bare feet had wings.
| 20 auntie! o Aunt Jem!" she
cried, II did scrub the pantry door

for them and doing SO he fell asleep
When he woke up he ran home but
only to find everything closed up.
He ran to the front door, expecting
it to be unlocked but no, it was locked
too.
But what was that he saw, note

Wh;p-Poor-Wl1

% you ever stop and listen
10 the music Of the birds?
WIN. sometimes I almost reckon
can understand their words.
Roffn Redbreast makes me Jolly,
But sometimes when an Is still,
There's bird that makes me angry
When he MARBLES, whip poor-Wlll!'
now I pity that poor fellow
Who he is do not know;
sspect he's been most awful naughty
For that bird to treat him so.
I can't see why other fellows.
Ted or Jock or Tom or Phil
Shouldn't get their share OF Seedlings
But it's always, ''Whip-poor-Will!"
Maybe he won't mind his mother
When she sends him to the store;
Maybe once the teacher caught him
Throwing spit-balls on the floor.
P'raps that bird peeks In the window,
And that's why, in accents shrill,
You can hear him If you listen,
Always saying, 'Whip.poor-Will!"
have asked my pa to tell me
VINO that naughty OOy Cdu uo,
But he only answers shortly
That he hopes it isn't me;
Just as II my name was William,
Why, 1t isn't even Bill!
Hope he won't forget it's Robert
When that bird says, "Whip-poor
4, Will"
Billy Jones says he Amt naughty,
He can prove It by his ma;
She believes in moral suasion,
Says It does more good by far.
/ should think that 1t would scare him
When that cry comes sharp ane
shri1l.
And that bird, the same as ever,
Keeps a-saying, "Whip-poor-Will!"

ed to the young mans voice, then he
spoke in broken tones:
Dye think If I'm very good that
Godll let me see Pete again when
die?"
The minister hesitated for second
before he said, "Of course, we are none
of us quite sure about anything IN
heaven, but If you are brave boy and
try not to fret, maybe God will let you
see Pete again!"
Where does God keep the animals
when they come up?"
The Reverend Malcolm Browns Inn
agination had always been strong, but
this afternoon 1t was stronger than US
ual
Il think" and the firm hand closed
over the hot ones of the child, Its
lovely meadow, with trees, and most OF
the things the animals would like!"
can nobody is unkind to them; they
wouldn't take their playthings from
them? Pete has lots Of things he plays
with, an he'd be lonesome without
them"
The minister's face wore a strange
look, his theology was fast carrying
him to the religions of other worlds
but he said, softly wiping off the mos!
cheeks, II don't think God would mlno
Pete taking his things with him; he'd
be glad to have him happy"
There was a long silence, and when,
some minutes later, the minister put
the child down at the fathers door, ne
had promised to assist at Pete's tuner
al that evening
It was sunset when the young man
holding box, and the little boy Win
his arms full of different things, stop
ped by the big oak-tree on the farther
side of the fence.
The minister took off his coat ana
dug the narrow trench. while Geoff sat
beside the box and watched. The little
brown head lay on Geoff's own CUSHION
in the box, and Geoff was only waiting
to put in the other things.
The minister ceased digging after
a while, then replaced his coat. he
moved aside when he saw Geof stoop
over the box, and the sound or an
audible kiss made him swallow some
thing hastily. Then turning, he said,
gently. "Are you ready, Geoff?"
I'm q minute the little boy replied,
picking up Pete's playthings and put
ting them into the box round the form
Of the brown pup First came an OLD
mophead. then a much-chewed slipper,
the remains of a wish-rag, and a brok-
en- rubber ball!
The Young man stood with queer
Tightening at his throat, as the arucles
were put in, one by one.
Then on the body of the still sleep
ing Pete. Geoff laid some bones. Inese
would serve him for long time, De-
cause he liked to bury them!
The minister kneeled down, and,
with eyes which saw but dimly, fitted
on the lid of the box.
Together the two mourners replaced
the earth. and when the last shoveiful
was in. and the sods packed down.
Geofr knelt by the side, and the minis
ter, putting his hat on the grass
knelt too.
TO his dying day he never forgot
that funeral prayer as Goen, WIN
heart not too full to put up passion
ate plea for his pet, prayed:
Dear God,
"This is my pup Peter, who's com
ing to you, and do please be carefui
with him. He can't eat meat yet, lt,n
make his hair come out, an don't take
him M by his arms, 1t hurts him so,
