THE sPECK or DUST.
(By Virginia vaIe.1

Once upon a time a speck of dust lay out in the road with hundreds of others just like him. Little Charles ran down the path. just as MT. Wind picked up the speck of dust and whir1ed him round and round and up into Charlies eye
 Ouch said Charlie and began to rub his eye As he did so the speck ran into one corner and there it stuck. His mother tried to get it out but she scohldnst so she told. him to lie down and she would put 2 wet cloth over his. eyes
 E Charles didn,t like this for he could hear the children playing and he wanted to be out with them.
 Hateful old speck. p he said t'I wish I could gethlt out I would throw it so far away it would never come back
 Just then, the speck moved and ! made q sharp little pain in his eye and that made two little tears roll came the speck of dust. Charles wiped his eye with his handkerchief and the dust rolled out on the floor l just in time to be swept up on the dust pan, and thrown out. | Off it went in a cart with lots of l waste papers and rubbish to a dump pile where it stayed until the wind again blew it away.
 This time it landed on a chair in a yard and was carried up to a loft in an old barn with a pile of old furni- lure. Here it found a great many of I it's cousins, lots of them who had never ben outside of the loft. They l were never tired of hearing of the speclxs adventures and it grew very proud of being the only speck of dus
 and it grew very disagreeabIe and
 complained all the time until one day when some one opened the window
 of the loft it blew up and out.
 It landed this time in the chimne.
