THUNDER ROLLS
By David M. Cory.

The Kindergarten class in the large school was about ready to go home when heavy thunder shower swept across the city. Great drops of rain The thunder rolled and roared and flashes of lightning glared into the room. Many of the children were frightened and some began to cry.
 Why. children 2 said Miss May. the teacher, there's nothing to be afraid of. You may sit down again and wait until the shower is over. and I'll tell you all about what's going on in the sky during a thunderstorm and when you know you'll just laugh and will enjoy hearing the thunder. music.
 ssUp in the sky there is a great gold en room, which is the party room and there are lots of parties in the spring and summer because there are SO many birthdays during those seasons But to-day Lady Moon is going to marry Mir Sun so she has invited all the stars to come and have some ice cream and cake and candy. Her wedding dress is made of snowia.kes all trimmed with dewdrops, and her earrings are of sparkling icic3es, and her shoes Of crystals All the stars tell her they never saw her look SO beautiful.
 They are still sitting at one long
 
 Sun at the other On one side there is Lady Venus and MT. Mars and the Virgo family, and on the other side MT. Mercury and MT. Jupiter and the Orion family are sitting. In one cor ner of the room the Great Bear band Is playing some lively tunes. This band is made up of a group of stars. That great rrmbling, rumbling. tum= bling noise you hear every while is the band playing, and sometimes ev- cry one gets up from the table and dances round and sings so loudly from joy it makes a big crash.
 When folks are happy and having a good time they usually forget about every one else so the sky people don't even dream that we can hear their awful racket. But when they get too noisy MT. Sun bangs the mighty drum very hard and in a. deep voice says Less noise, please; it isn't polite to raise such a rumpus at parties. Then Lady Moon says she's so glad they all could come to her wedding, and she hopes they'll have good time and come to see her very often af soon as she is settled in her home.
 Just then MT. Saturn whispers to Mrs Virgo that he thinks Lady Moon won't make a very good wife, as she sleeps all day and goes out at night, and she knows nothing about house keeping. Mr. Sun overhears this and gets very angry and says, couldn't get a better wife than dear Lady Moon and wouldn't know what to do with out her, I'd have to shine by night as well as by day if my sweet Moon | didn't help me out, and every night she wakes the stars and tells them to light up the sky. guess you'd like to have her yourself, MT. Saturn.
 s' Indeed I wouldn't answered Mir. l Saturn, But you get so hot, MT. Sun, and make people nearly boil. don't see how any one can stand you. Fer haps Lady Moon will keep out of your l way a good deal. and then you won't l quarrel. But don't see how the Sun and Lady Moon can ever get or l together
 l t.AIong comes MT. Capricorn and l asks, Whats up; everybody looks sc solemn 2
 MT. Saturn has been rather rude answered Lady Venus, sHe wants La dy Moon to himself, I suppose. Blu i won't you have some cream. MT CaE I ricorn, and some cake, too 2
 Bless your dear heart, Lady We
