expended in the connecting of exist
ing roads and on their standardized

Grandmother and Grandfather

"Where is it? Why don't you pick

Did it go on the floor, or where?"
Grandmother Dear looked up over
her spectacles again. Dear me!

Dorothy giggled.

over Grandmother Bears, SO that
she had to stop knitting.
you We're going to tell us a sure
sign of spring." cried Dorothy,
coaxingly; what is it, ganmudder?"
And she rubbed her rosy cheek ten
derby against Grandmother Bears
wrinkled one.
When Dorothy was a tiny, tiny
girl she couldn't say grandmother 1t
was O big, big word for such O
little tot, so she did the best she
could and pronounced it "ganmud-
der" And after she grew big
enough to pronounce it right she
still chung to the old name, because
Grandmother Dear loved It,
What is the sign, ganmudder?"
Dorothy repeated, running one hand
over the soft, white hair that waved
back so prettily from Grandmother
Bears forehead.
Grandmother Dear laid aside her
knitting with a smile.
I'VE used to have lots of ways of
telling when spring came when l
was a little GIRL" she said, first,
along toward the middle of Febru-
airy, there would come a day when
the sun shone brightly and all the
snow and ice turned into water
that overflowed the brooks and
rivers and hustle-bustled along it's
way, taking sticks and dead leaves
with 1t. And the hard ground SEEM
ed to soften, and when we stepped
our footmarlSs would be filled with
moisturey
Like as not it would get cold
again after that, but in a week or
so the brave little pussy willow
would poke its nose into the world,
crying, Spring is here! | am its
herald
"And then" Grandmother Dear
leaned back in her chair and smiled
tantalizingly at the children who
were leaning forward eagerly, land
then there came the real sign"
What was it?" asked both of the
children at once.
Guess" said Grandmother Dear,
at was alive, and it had very bright
eyes that looked at us ever so
saucily, a pert little head that
cooked itself on one side in the most
aggravating way, q tail that was
like a half folded fan, and-but have
You guessed?"
II haven't" cried Davie promptly,
what was 1t grandmother? Was
it "a el'phant?'
"Davie, you're too silly" de-
clared Dorothy, giving her brother
little shove, "how could 1t be an
elephant? He always says elephant
when 1 want him to guess any
thing" she added, turning to. Grand
mother Dear, II think I've guessed
it, ganmudder. Wasn't it a bird?"
Grandmother Dear nodded her
head and patted Dorothy's cheek.
YES" said she, "but what kind of
a bird?"
Dorothy said that she could not
tell that, so Grandmother Dear went
on with her description.
"Its back was brown, but under
meath, on its breast, the feathers
were the most beautiful
"I've got it! I've got I'll" inter-
rupted Dorothy, clapping her hands
gleefully," please don't say it, gan.
mudder! Let me guess It! It's a
robin redbreast! Isn't it?"
90 course" ehimed in Davie, hi
eyes sparkling, s"that's what 1T is
knew it all the time. ITS robin
redbreast!"
And Grandmother Dear, laughing
heartily, declared that that was jus,
what 1t was; robin redbreast.
And IL you keep your eyes open,
she added, land watch your lawn
especially out by the apple tree
you'll see one before long"
SOS we'll know that spring |,

The Circus Boy

Dear Miss Doom: -
Enclosed find the poem, The Cir
Gus Boy" that was requested last
week. MARION II. =.
Thank you, Marion d. c.. and
thanks also to the other reader that
sent in the poem.
THE CIRCUS BOY.
I left the little town behind,
And took the path that led
Up to the churchyard on the heath;
The city of the dead.
In letters plain found these words
Upon a cross of wood. s.
Here lies the little circus boy,
Who did the best he could
So strange / found this epitaph,
I asked a farmers wife;
Who gladly told me all she knew
OF his unhappy life.
She said: 1.-THE circus came to town,
A year or so ago,
And so my husband and myself,
We went to see the show.
"A hundred clever things We saw,
That filled us with delight;
And then, when little Dono came.
We clapped with all our might. .
"He climbed up to a ladder top.
He stood upon his head
He danced upon a rope so thin, 4
You'd snap it as a thread.
And then they brought two horses
in.
And climbing up in haste.
AS fast they galloped round the
track.
One foot on each he placed.
HE rode amid the deafening cheers
Till on the second round,
His right foot slipped. and with a
Shrek.
He fell upon the ground
1.-THE manager picked up the boy
Whose limbs were bruised and
sore,
You fell off purposely.' he said.
And angrily. he swore.
"'How now, do you expect -
That you can earn your food2'
And the little fellow answered him,
I did the best | could
1.-THE heartlees man turned around,
Where shrieks were heard on
every side.
THE tigers loose. the tigers loose,
+, Men horror-stricken cried.
HE turned right in the tigers path.
| There sat his only child,
| And as the tiger crouched to spring
Looked round in terror wild.
"'Oh! God. Oh, save my child he
cried.
Then springing to his feet.
Young Dono rushed upon the beast,
An awful death to meet.
1.-THE child was saved, the shots
were heard. -
The angry beast Law dead.
They picked Door Dono up, all cut
And bruised from foot to head.
"'How brave the weeping father
cried.
How generous. how goodn
But dying Dono answered him:
4 did the best I could.
