The Wonder of 1t
We wandered on the seashore,
We wondered at the sky;
/ told her how | loved her,
She said, "She wondered why?'
! wondered if she'd have me?
She gently answered yes.
And then we wandered, wondering
In speechless happiness.
And now since we are welded,
We wonder, as of yore.
We wondered as we wandered
Along the ocean shore.
With just the bit of difference
That our wonder we condense
Into wondering how we happened
To have so little sense.

The Missionary's Samples

missionary returned recently from india,
where he had spent many years At the big
hotel he stopped at while in town he found
little to complain about except the absence of
the very torrid sauces and spices to which he
had become accustomed in the far east For
tunately he had brought with him supply OF
his favorite condirnent and by arranging with
the head waiter these were placed on his table.
One day another guest saw the appetizins
bottle on his neighbor's table, and asked the
waiter to give him some of that sauce"
"I'm sorry, sir" said the waiter, "but it is
the private property of this gentleman"
The missionary, however, heard the others
request and told the waiter to pass the bottle.
The stranger poured some of the. mixture
on his meat and took liberal mouthfuf.
After moment he turned, with tears in his
eyes, to the missionary.
You're a minister of the gospels'
Eyes, sir"
'And you preach the doctrine of everlasting
fre?.
YES" admitted the missionary.
well, you're the first minister I ever met
who carried samples"
Protecting Himself
Entering the establishment of his tailor he
observed:
"Mr Shears, believe I owe you some
money for clothes
eyes, sir, you do"
And I have owed it for year"
"You have"
"And this is the fifth postal card you have
sent me regarding the debt"
II think it is the fifth"
Now, sir, while I can not pay the debt for
perhaps another year, propose to protect my
character as far as possible. Here are twelve
two-cent stamps. You can use them in send
ing me twelve monthly statements of account
in sealed envelopes, and can thus save your
postcards and my feelings at the same time"

She came within my humble home,
She looked so very mild,

Her laughing eyes were blue and bright,
Her lips were rosy red,
And lovely, fluffy golden hair
Curled soft about her head.
OH how appearances may lie
She was wicked thief.
That one so young could be SO bad
Seems quite beyond belief
She did not point pistol big;
She did not wear mask:
Nor carry any burglars tools
To do her burgling task.
But when, at length, she went away,

CHILDHOOD A VARIED PERIOD
From Twenty Years, In the Human Race, 1t Grades Down to a Few
 Weeks Among tho Rirdt.

The childhood of animals varies with the total length of life, with the size, and especially with the position, in the life scale. Long lived animals. large animals and highly developed animals usually have long youth. The educated human being requires 20 years to grow up; the savage about 15; the higher monkeys-the gorilla and the orang-12 to 14 years; the baboon, 8 years, and the small mon- keys, about half that time. The less intelligent cat race has youth of but 4 or years among the larger kinds The vegetable-eating animals, mostly of small intelligence, grow up quickly. the buffalo and all the big antelopes and deer having only about years of childhood, and the channels somewhat longer, although the giraffe has , or years. The elephant, tho largest of land animals and one of the most intelligent, is not grown up until 20 to 27 years old. All birds have Q short youth, looking after themselves In weeks to months, but becoming grown up in to 4 years. Many rep tiles-like the tortoise, crocodile, and alligator-seem to grow all their lives. Certain other creatures have a short adult period-the mayfly, for instance, spending years on the bottom of . pong. and living but few hours aft CT emerging fully grown from its skin covering. Still more extreme is tho American cicada, which grores 17 years underground, and lives but ? or s weeks after emerging.
