THE HIGHEST DUTY.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

We were talking about certain young
woman in our neighborhood who is known
for the sarcastic speeches with which she
frequently f1ays every one with whom she
1 comes in contact Even her mother,
whom she adores and for whom she cam
not do too much. is not safe from her
cruel tongue when she is in sarcastic
mood, and is frequently wounded to tears
| by the sharp things her daughter says:
''Of course. it's too bad she should talk
| to her mother So" said Molly. the little
| stenographer lady, "but still. think of all
| she does for her Why last summer
Emily went without any summer suit
| so that she could send her mother on a
vacation. I guess she does enough to
make up for her bad temper
do you think SO. Molly?" said the
lady-who- alwa VS. knows somehow. "Weil.
| don't. OF course. it's splendid for her
! to deny herself for her mothers sake
but l don't think it's enough II she can
be pleasant too. I've thought about THAI
subject a great deal. and I've come to
the conclusion that it doesn't matter how
much You do for any one. if you can
be pleasant to them. too. YOU haven
done enough.
The lady's words impressed me so deep
ly that / bring them to you. 1t seems to
me that they are whole philosophy OF
life-'1t doesn't matter how much YOU do
for any one if YOU can't be pleasant to
them. too you haven't done enough.
Neither gifts nor services will ever take
the place of simple kindness and livable-
ness
l once knew a woman who had two
sons; one son was devoted to her and
was always doing something for her, but
was quick tempered and hard to live
with; the other son was completely sell
fish and absorbed. but always sweet
tempered and good company. And al
though she was grateful to the generous
son and depended upon him, she really
loved the selfish. livable one the better.
ITO be happy and to make others so.
a wise woman tells me lis her ideal of
successful life. 1t is mine also. And 1
services and elf-denial for kindness and
will never accomplish this ideal Re
will probably fail in making hmsei,
happy and he will surely fail in making
others So
Now, do not think that I am depre-
eating the beauty of self-denial. Indeed.
no. The world needs generosity and self
denial very badly, but it also needs Nv
ablenesS. Be generous and self-deny-
ing as you know how. but remember also.
1T doesn't matter how much YOU do for
any one. il you can't be pleasant to them,
too. you haven't done enough.
1t is not a case of substitution at all.
1t is Just case of these ought We to
have done. and not to leave the other
undone."

Little Stories for Bedtime.
Happy Days on the Green Meadows.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.

Every day Old Mother West Wind
opened her big bag and shook out on to
the Green Meadows the Merry Little
Breezes who, as you know, arc her chill
dren. Every day for pure joy the Merry
Little Breezes whrled about in mad little
dances and then scattered in all direc-
tons to play the whole day long.
As light our feet thistledown.
Our hearts sunny hours:
We dance along amid the throny
And kiss the smiling nOwcfs
So the Merry Little Freezes sang and
kissed the buttercups and daisies and
played hide and seek among the tall
meadow grasses. for these were happy.
happy days on the Green Meadows and
in the Green Forest. Farmer Browns
boy had put away his dreadful gun. end
so long as he did not have that the little
meadow and forest people knew that
they had nothing to fear from him un-
less he should happen to lind their homes
and these were so cunningly hidden that
he would have to hunt long, long time
TO find one of them.
So all the little meadow and forest
people were just as happy as the Merry
Little Breezes and were cutting up all
sorts of pranks on the Green Meadows
and around the Smiling Pool.
My. but it does seem good to get
enough to eat once mOre!' exclaimed
Johnny Chuck as he rubbed noses with
Peter Rabbit in the sweet clover patcll,
where both ate and ate and ate until II
seemed as IL their little round tuInmies
must Hurely burst You see. in the dread
full days wl1en Farmer Browns boy had
been tramping over the Green Meadows
with his gun, Johnny Chuck had not
dared to go more than ten feet from his
own doorstep. So Johnny had grown
thin. for he hadn't been able to get
enough to eat. Now he was making up
for H. And you know Peter Rabbit al
ways has Il tre-men-d appetite.
Down the Crooked Little Path from the
top of the hill came Jimmy Skunk, his
hands in his pockets. He was coming
very slowly. for ii takes something very
unusual to make Jimmy Skunk hurry.
Peter Rabbits eyes twinkled when he
saw Jimmy.
Watch me have some fun with Jimmy
skunk" whispered Peter Rabbit to
Johnny chick.
Peter Iimped away. for his foot was
still sore, and soon VAS out of sight in
III" tall meadow grass. BY and by
Johnny chuck caught glimpse of Peter
hiding behind some bushes that grew
close to the Crooked Little Path down
.hc hill where ii is steepest. Just above
was a turn i'm the Crooked Little Path.
