they are played with all over the
world, by foreign children as we'll as
US.
There are dolls of all descriptions
Wax, kid, china, bisque and rag, but
the most durable and prettiest are the
jointed, kid body dolls. ...
The incest for the babies to play
with are the bisque, but the latest
dolls made are the baby bumps
Some of them look like real babies.
Dolls are not only the incest play
things for girls, but are useful as well
because it teaches us to sew as we are
always trying to make pretty clothes
for them.
My little niece has a beautiful big
doll that is about twelve years old.
Her mama had 1t when she was a
little girl It is just as good as new. 1t

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

William Cullen Bryant was born on
November 8, 1894, in Cummington,
Massachusetts. William was a bright
little fellow. He knew the alphabet
when he was year and half old,
but this did not make him strong
and healthy child, as his father
wished, and he grew thin and pale.
So every morning he was dipped In a
spring of cold water near the house.
The little boy did not enjoy his
bath. i.s
William remembered very little
about his early school days. No doubt
his eyes would often wander to the
window where he could see the birds
and the feecy clouds, and he would
often fall asleep One day he fell
asleep. His teacher took his from the
hard bench into her lap and when he
awoke he was angry for he thought
he was too big to be baby.
William wrote many beautiful
poems, two of which were the Rivulet
and Thanatopsis.

HALLOWEEN.

Halloween, the name given to the
eve of all ballows or the festival of
all saints, which being the first of
November. Halloween Is the evening
Of October 81. ..a
In England and in Scotland it was
long given to fireside gatherings. with
ma-v ceremonies by which to dis.
cover a future sweetheart. These
are referred to in Burns well known
poem, Halloween"
In this country 1t is known chiefly
as time for boyish FRANKS and
practical jokes. . I'D
In the country, where pumpkins do
not have to be bought, boys and girls
make jack o-lanterns. In the larger
cities, where pumpkins are few,
plaster-paris ones are made to repre-
sent different things, such as pump
kins, cats, old witches. etc. Parties
are given and games are played re-
ferring to witches on broom sticks and
cats.
Different games and jokes are play
ed every where. Children usually like
Halloween best, but very much the
oldest folks do not enjoy 1t so much.

There was one a big foamy cloud
away up in the sky. And after while
it got very cold and the cloud turned
into snow. There were little and big
snowflakes. And there was little one
who said to big one. One of my
brothers told me that was going to
fall away down to the earth and he
said that some of my brothers and SIS
tiers were already there.
The big snowflake said: Take hold
Of my hand, sister, for am going too.
We will go together" So they floated
around up in the pure, sweet air. In a
little bit the stars came out one by one
but the clouds hid them so the people
on earth could not see them.
i About the middle of the night the
bic snowflake said to the little one,
"Now let us 20 down to the earth. We
will have a nice time going down. We
will play along the way, and the wind
will carry us around In the air." SO
they started.
They floated around but kept going
down. Now they had reached the
ground and the wind carried them
around like they were hunting a place
to stay all night. So they floated
around and would alight somewhere
and then get up and go again. They
had jolly time. They would talk and
laugh. run and Jump. The little snow
flake said: What nice time we have
down here. didn't know 1t was SO
nice or would have wanted to come.
The wind carried them around like
little feathers till morning, then 1t
took them to nice big porch. There
was a little girl standing by the win
dow watching it snow and saw them
come.
"Oh. mother" she cried, here are
two little snowflakes and they are the
prettiest ever saw. They are as light
as feathers and skip around like little
grasshoppers.'
In Just little bit the big bright sun
came out, and all the little snowflakes
sparkled in the sunlight. but the little
girl thought those two sparkled more
than any OF them, SO she called her
little sister, who was younger than
she, to look at them, and they both
thought they were the pretttest they
ever saw. This made the little snow
flakes feel glad. They were all piled
up on the porch with their brothers
iand sisters.
They stayed there for some time,
but It soon got warm and the two lit
tie snowflakes turned into little drops
of water.
