get all the old backing off.
When it is all off, rub the stove
well with raw linseed oil, and rub
it every morning, and in time the
stove will be like a mirror. No
other backing is needed, and pots

There was little boy named John
who had a sled. One day a little
boy named Bob came along and said,
John, let me have ride on your
sled" John said, Go and get your
own" Then. Bob's mother called him
in because he had to carry wash,
as she made her living by washing.
She said, How nice it would be if
you had sled to carry the basket"
When he came to the house with the
basket of clothes the owner was on
the stoop. He saw Bob and said,
why, Bob, haven't you any sled?"
Bob said, mo" Then the man
handed Bob So and told him to get
himself a sled. When he got paid he
went home and told his mother.
Then he bought his sled. How proud
he was, and when John went down
coasting next day his sled went to
pieces, but Bob let John go down
on his. This learned John lesson.

The Little Boys Dream

Once there was a little boy. One
day he was at play in the back yard
when all of sudden he found himself
being carried up into the air. He
didn't know where he was going, but
all at once he found himself dropped
down into a strange place that he had
never seen before. At first he was a
little afraid. but after a while he
thought he would go and walk around
little. He saw woods not far
away, so he thought he would go
there, and he started toward the
woods.
He had not gone far when he saw
q sign nailed to a tree, which said
This is the fairy wood" He didn't
know what to make of it, but just
then he saw something green move
in the grass. He heard a little voice,
and then he put his hand down in the
grass and what do you think he
found? There in his hand was little

Enough for the present." replied
the city boy with q grin, producing
{, set of dice and shaking them to-
gether in his closed hand.
Tommy drew forth a knotted hand
kerchief, united it and displayed his
little hoard. At the sight of the
shining coppers the city boys eyes
cleaned greedily.
I'VE won't shoot crap; We'll match
pennies" he said, returning the dice
TO one pocket and drawing handful
Of pennies from another. Come, I'll
show you how it's done"
He explained the game to the limo
cent country boy and then lured him
on to gamble
Heads! Tails! Tails! Heads!
Headsi" they kept repeating alter
nately, the money changing hands &C
eoFding as chance favored one or the
other.
Tommy's face flushed with excite
ment at the novel experience. Like
all noVices at gambling, he began by
winning, and his excitement increased
as his pile of pennies grew. He no
longer spoke the words when it came
his turn to match, He shouted them;
and when ,he won he laughed and
capered with JOY. 1t had taken him
many weeks to save up his little
hoard, and now within ten minutes
he had more than doubled 1t. Visions
of Denknives, tops and marbles and
other things dear to the heart of a

The meadows shimmered in the sun;

Tommy paid no heed. For the first
time he was tasting of vice and
every sense for the beautiful was
deadened.
AT last the city boy began to win.
Finding that luck was against him
he resorted to cheating. With an OPP
ponent as simple as Tommy he had
no fear of being detected in his dis
honesty and in a comparatively short
time all the pennies that were at
stake in the game were jingling in
his pocket - r

remarked with a crafty smile. well,

With remorse gnawing at his heart
made his way slowly home, his
mead bowed, his gait slouching.
Watch followed with head and tan

something had gone wrong with
Tommy, and that the boy they had

From that day he displayed an in
