GEORGES GLOBE.
Emily S. Winder.


George said he hated geography?
Il don't see any sense in it,
20, don't you?" returned mamma
How are you going TO know about
the different parts of the world if
20 udon't study it,"
I'm go and see them when | am
big"
"Perhaps you won't be able to do
that" said mamma. Come now,
sit down here and learn your lesson
for tomorrow l want you to be able
to show me all the oceans on the
globe"
Georges grandfather had sent
him very fine globe at Christmas.
But the little boy took no interest in
it, I'D rather had a new wagon"
he said IF l was the teacher
wouldn't make the pupils learn hOr
rid old geography. There's no use
in it,
A few days after grandfather came
to see them. ''How's the globe?" he
asked George. Il suppose you can
show me most any place on it by this
time"
George hung his head Not yet"
he stammered.
WELL" said grandfather, per
haps the next time I come you will
be able to do it."
George thought to himself, 81 wish
the old globe wasn't here"
YES" said mamma to GRANDPA
Their, II guess George will soon be
able to show you the places on the
globe. And it is such a fine, large
globe, it will be easy to see them
But as the days passed on, George
only said that he hated geography
more than ever And he scarcely
ever knew his lessons in it.
One day when he went into the
nursery he saw the globe there, and
his little sister Eta turning it around.
Their great Angora cat stood beside
her. Eta was saying over the
names of places in her baby way.
She had heard mamma say them
when she had been hearing George in
his lessons in geography. Then Ar
temus-the cat-would meow as if
he understood al THAT little Eta was
saying.
Look here, that's my GLOBE" said
George, angrily; you can't have it.
I'd like to know how it got in here"
and he pulled it into the other room,
for the globe was on castors and
moved easily. The tears came into
Etta's eyes, but she did not cry
aloud. you can play with your
own things" said George.
But the next day he found the
globe in the nursery again, and Eta,
as before, turning it around and say
ing the names of the places. and the
cat beside her meowing. And again
George pulled it angrily away from
her to the other room. This time
Eta cried out loudly, and mamma
came to see what was the matter.
Il just took my globe away from
| her." said George. She's got her
own things to play with
co." said mamma, 81 am going to
tell grandfather that you don't want
it, that you never use it. Eta seems
| to like it so much. So he will give it.
! to her. Of course it would be easier
for you to learn your geography with
it. So don't be selfish. Let Eta use
it as you don't care for it,
Mamma left the room. George
stood at the window thinking for a
good while. then he went over to Eft
ia and said: Come on, Eta, we'll
find the places on the globe. I guess,
maybe, I'd better try to like geogra-
ply. Any way, I'm going to be able
to show grandfather all the places on
the globe the next time he comes"
And little Eta laughed and said,
pretty Globe" and Artemus said
Meow" and waved his beautiful
tail.-Western Christian Advocate.

HER AUDIENCE OF ONE.

During the singing of the opening
hymn the deacones was carefully
considering her audience 1t was a
habit of hers-this scrutiny of those
to whom she was to speak. And
deep down in her heart she knew
just what it meant She always sim
gled out one individual and spoke to
her. just as directly as if the others
were not there at all. The type va
ried as often as the Individual her
self. Sometimes it was gay, laugh
ing schoolgirl, sometime a tired,
anxious mother, sometimes a harden
ed, sullen womai of the streets. AL
ways there was some one to whom
she spoke as friend speaketh unto
friend-and never had she failed to
win her audience Of one.
AS her eyes rested upon the group
of young people before her that eve
ming her heart almost failed her.
They were college girls-capable,
confident, self-reHant Life had
held so much for them, so much of
opportunity and inspiration. Had
there really anything she could add
to their lives? Suddenly her eye was
caught and held by one of tn efaces.
Gay, but with certain defiance mix
ed with it's gayety; full of vivacity
and yet a vivacity which rebelled
against itself-it gave one a curl
Gus impression of incongruity. Miss
Harrison had found her audience.
Her lesson that evening was an old
one familiar to everyone there.
Are all aspostles? Are all proph-
cts? Are all teachers? Are all work
ers Of miracles?
Have all gifts of healing? Do all
speak with tongues? Do all inter-
pref?
But covet earnestly the best gifts:
and yet show 1 unto you a more ex-
cellent way.
Though I speak with the tongues
Of men and of angels and have not
love, | am become as sounding brass
or tinkling cymbal.
When she had finished the chapter
Miss Harrison closed her Bible and
paused a moment. Here were girls
who did possess gifts of all sorts,
best gifts, gifts worth coveting. And
yet there was for many of them a
more excellent way. Could she
guide them to it? She began speak
ing slowly, almost hesitatingly, for
! hers was not the gift of tongues
Her eioquence lay only in a certain
deep sincerity, genuine enthusiasm.

And she plunged more eagerly
back into her subject.
| At the close the girls crowded

graceful appreciation. She had help

of her quiet words would be felt in
their busy, happy life, making them
more thoughtful and tender one to
another. Yet one thing was lacking
and it was with a heavy heart that
the deaconess turned away from the
last of them. She had not gained

Attorney General cosson Reported to

an Anti-Weed Cam
paign.
WILL ENFORCE THE LAW
Township Trustees Are Supposed to
Look After Weed Cutting and
May be Fined For
Neglect.

Announcement has been made that
Attorney General Cosson will start an
anti-weed campaign. and a movement
has been undertaken to compel dila-
tory township trustees to enforce the
law, requiring the cutting of weeds.
1t appears that special counsel
from the attorney generals office will
take up cases, where the law is not
being enforced
The law provides that prosecution
may be extended to the trustees for
failure to see that the weeds along the
highways are cut down
The particular weeds mentioned in
the law are cockleburrs, Canadian this
ties. buckhorn, quack grass, wild par
ships, horse nettles, smooth dock, burr
dock.
Any township trustee who does not
look after the weed cutting and burn
ing may be prosecuted and fined S100.
The law provides that portion of the
road fund may be set aside by the
county trustees to meet the expenses
of cutting weeds.
For years without number the coun.
try roads have been allowed to grow
up with all manner of ugly weeds. In
some places they have become so rank
lat times as almost to obstruct pas.
sage.
The matter finally became such q
serious one that the state legislature
took 1T up and drafted a law which
provided that abuting property owners
must keep the weeds down and where
| they do not do SO the township author
tiles are empowered to do so and tax
the cost to the property.
Regardless of this law, 1t is said
farmers and township officers in some
counties have paid but little attention
with the result that already this yea,
weeds in some places are quite as bar
as they have ever been before.
Assistant County Attorney McN1anu
:. was asked about the enforcement o
the law in Lee county. He stated tina
at the time the measure was passed
trustees were notified of its provisions
and the penalty for non-enf orcemeil.

ment. While he was anticipating the
action which reduced him in rank, he
was surprised at the turn taken by af-
fairs, because, he stated today, there
was not a blemish on his reputation as
an officer and he naturally felt that if
there was promotion coming to any
one, he should be IN line for it. In
placing his case before the civil SER

says he Is not seeking any sympathy,

he could depend on them for their sup
