And ordinary clay, His .cl1eek-to mtne he's glad to rub Before go away; And every night when I rsturh He's glad as he can be, And though but little mag earn He toddles up to nae.

 If one were sitting near Unto no millionaire he'd cling
 If only I'd appear. aAnd though but tattered rags are mine When got home ito tea, With eyes that fairly beam and shine He'd toddle up to me. And so I've reason to be glad, And reason to re1ofces It's worth the world to be a dad,

JAck,s CUsTARp PIE.

Once upon a time Jack had been a paughty boy What do you think he had done2 I will tell you Cook had made 2 nice custard pie and had set it 'an the window to cool, while she went to her room. Jack saw the pie, as he passed through on his way to the porch. He was going to write a let ter to his aunt and had the paper and ink in his hand
 He looked at the pie and gave a big sniff It did smell good and he thought how much he would like a piece of it He turned the Die around d and sniffed again. He turned quick for he thought he heard cook coming and splash went the ink bottle into the pie Goodness what should he do He picked out the bottle but most of the ink was left in the pie. He didn't want to tell for he knew his mother would tell him that he should not have stopped at all even to sniff.
 He went out on the porch to write his letter but the bottle was full of custard pie instead of ink, so he had heard Cook call and knew that she had seen the pie. Soon he heard her coming and. he looked up and saw her with the pie in her hand.
 When she. saw the ink bottle filled with custard in Jacks hand and of. course she knew that he had spoiled the pie.
 Did you do this Jack % she asked. ttY r es, did Cook and am very sorry. If you will not scold I will take my quarter, that Uncle Jack gave me and go out and buy 3. pie"

 But when they are worn past all repair and there is not the wherewith to buy new ones, save ana skimp from the living expenses as she may, the young wife dreads to aeco1npany her husband out for a walk of an evening He gradually gets intot the habit or taking his pasornenades alone She has their frugal dinner hot and. apetizing, ready when he returns The husband who has so any maidens by in their fal1tteTI Ii < white dresses, beribboned cur1s and foating sashes looks at the wife who greets his view with a frown Instead Of a smile.
