see that they are ripe"
In little while the girl returned
within flushed face and a triumphant
look in her eyes Handing the teach
er the bag of plums. she placed the
money on the desk. and exclaimed:
i plnched one or two, S you told
me, and when the man wasn't look
ing ! pinched a bagful."
The teacher was addressing his NIL
Pills on the subjects of laziness and
idleness. He drew a terrible picture
of the habitual loafer-the man who
disltkes work and who begs for all he
gets.

little boy who had been very mat

ties are swarming around us all the
time. We walk through a cloud of
