HOW JAMIE FOUND A HOME.

Jamie was little boy eight years
old, but he felt the weight Of years
upon his shoulders as he looked at
little Alice sleeping and saw a tear
still wet upon her little thin cheek.
She had cried herself to sleep from
hunger. and Jamie felt that something
must be done at once. His mother
had been dead four weeks now. At
first his father kept sober and worked,
and they managed to get along very
well. Jamie took care Of Alice and
the house, but one night his father
did not come home, and then Jamie
was told that the Judge had sent him
away for six months. The fuel was
nearly gone and the food had given
out the day before. Jamie had not
eaten anything but crusts Of bread
for two days. He had managed to
get milk for Alice until today, but the
last Of the money he had received for
a locket Of his mothers was gone
now.
Il shall have to sell her ring" said
Jamie, taking it from a corner of a
drawer, ''and she told me to keep it
for Alice and tell her when she was
old enough that she left it for her,

What's a Bow Made Eor2

How different Batwa dwarf boy
from the American boy mentioned in
the following paragraph from Detroit
exchange: There was a big icicle
hanging in the corner just over store
door on Michigan avenue, and as the
weather softened up, and people be-
came afraid to enter the building, the
proprietor came out to a crowd on the
sidewalk to see what could be done.
Somebody might hit it from the roof,
suggested one. Or you might get one
of the long fire ladders observed a
second. 7 think a charge Of buckshot
would bring it down, said a third
man, as he closed his left eye and took
a long sQuint. A boy about twelve
years old came along just then, and
when he understood the situation, he
inquired of the grocer: Will you give
a Teller a nickel to get her down"
Yes, five of EN- Gimme a later!
A good-sized potato was handed him,
and he stepped back into the street,
peeled off his coat and sent the tuber
whizzing. 1t struck the icicle at the
butt, and brought it down with great
crash, ard as the crowd cheered, the
boy pocketed his quarter, and humbly
observed: Wonder what they thought
a boy was made fur, anyhow"
