men who knew how to tell the truth
and how to be brave even when il was
hard. And as little George listened,
the little tree also heard and learned
to love the father, and the truth and
the stories of brave men who dared
to do right
One day, however, the little boy
came to the orchard in his play, and
was full of fire and war-and boyhood
(which is just manhood not grown
up)-and the little tree saw he was
hunting for something to do which
looked BIG. Suddenly he spied the
poor little tree.
'Ha! ha!" said he. "The very
thing! I'll chop this down, and show
how strong I am
So although the little tree tried
hard to plead for its life, although it
tried hard to tell George what nice
cherries it could give him in a few
years-he started in. Chip" went the
little hatchet, and chip" again;
chop sounded the strokes, and
chop again; never did George stop
until the poor little tree, quivering
then the little boys father came into
the orchard.
Who chopped my cherry tree?"
asked he. And the little tree breath
ing its last could scarcely believe this
was the same kind man who had sat
uHueT llS low DrancheS f0ndling his
son, who stood there glowering above
him.
IF 1 can find the fellow who did
this thing" said he, "I'll punish him
severely. and there was fight in his
eye. and strength in his arm.
Il wonder what little George VIII
do ?" thought the dying tree. 81 hope
he will not lie" And although it was
dying. il tried to whisper: "Remem-
ber the stories we heard on this spot,
little Georgem
Whether the child heard or not, I
do not know. But l do know that he
stood right up, and it seemed to the
little tree he was almost as big and
strong and brave looking as his father
He stood up and facing the angry man,
said: FATHER, CANNOT TELL
A LIE! / DID 1T WITH MY LITTLE
HATCHET"
As the cherry tree breathed its last

soldier-a boy who dared to do right.
and tell the truth even if he should
suffer for it. And the little cherry tree
was happy even although it could
never grow up.
And was this the end of the tree
that never grew up

that after the stars came twinkling
into the blue sky, little boy crawled
out of house, and cut a tender twig

THF CHERRY TREE THAT
NEVER GREW UP

T least a dozen little folks have
"A written to the Telegraph asking
that the Washington's Birthday
story published some years ago be re-
printed. Here it is:
Once upon a time a beautiful cherry
tree grew in an orchard of Old Vir-
ginia, and although it was small it
had once been even smaller, for it
used to tell all the other trees round
about this story:
"One day" it always began, 81 was
big red cherry lying on the ground
all tempting and ripe and sweet and
juicy A little boy with golden curls,
along. 1 think he must have been
only two or three years old, for he
could scarcely toddle. First thing l
knew he had picked me up, and / saw
smile spread over his baby face;
then before l knew what had hap
pened the reddest sort of lips opened
and 1 was thrust into a deep cave.
All the juicy part of me was bitten
off and went down a long dark hall
way-where it landed 1 never could
find out; but my seed. the only live
thing about me, the little boy took out
of his mouth and looked at it. Then
sitting down on the ground, he
started playing with the dirt, and be-
fore 1 knew it, he had stuck me way
little fingers"
And then what happened 4" asked
the other trees, for they always loved
to hear this story from the little tree.

the little tree would continue, but
good old Mother Earth took care of
me; the little leaves pitied me and
made me a patch work quilt: King
Winter laid a snow blanket over me;
and the next Spring when the rains

side me. l burst that seed. / pushed

is not the baby grown older who stuck
my seed into the earth and gave me
new life?"
Thus the trees chatted and swayed
and swayed and chatted in the Vir-
ginia orchard. while a little boy in
Knickerbockers ran in and out among
them, playing his childish games.
Every now and then the boys father
came to see how his orchard grew,
and one day he noticed the little
cherry tree growing in such a queer
spot, and seeing ii was a straight
beautiful tree he loved II better than
all the trees of his orchard, so often
bringing his small son he sat under its
low branches. There he told him stor-

value of $50 for use by the refugees
in planting their gardens were re-
ceived by the foreign relief division.
They will be shipped at once. Sup
plies for refugees were shipped Sat

cushions, scissors, three colors of

supplies to the refugees.
OF the supplies sent jointly by the
Red Cross and foreign divisions three
boxes went to a hospital in Servia
located in a windowless tobacco fac
tory, where the wounded were fed on
bean and cabbage soup, and where
even the nurses were obliged to un-
dergo extreme hardships.

STEVENS VI. +. ATTENDANCE
Is NEARING I.OOO MARK

With an attendance of $50 at the
Stevens Memorial Methodist Episcopal
Sunday School yesterday all previous
records of attendance at this school
were broken. Some idea of the growth
OF this school is shown by the fact
that the average attendance for the
year 1913 was 499 and for the year
1914 sol. The average for eight
Sundays in 1915 is SS6. The organized
mems Bible class has grown to such
proportions that the space allotted it
in the school has become too small.
