Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
THE sANDMAN's HOUSE.

A very small boy, with a large
Dutch name, which as you and could
not possibly pronounce it, we VIII call
Hans, lived in a quaint old Dutch VII
lage. For any boy who wears MS
hair "girl fashion and such bloomer
pants, with room for miles of pockets,
and gathering wooden shoes, should be
called Hans, and Hans he shall be.
His mother had to work very hard
all day in the tulip beds, while Hans
and their little donkey peddled milk
in the city. So when night came she
was very tired and hardly mad
strength enough to take off her seven
, teen petticoats.
One night when Hans returned, fed
the donkey and polished the big shlny
milk cans, he found his mother quite
sick. For a whole week, night and
day. she could not close her eyes TO
sleep. The fussy old Dutch doctor
came and said she must sleep, but mis-
biggest pill and his very nastiest meoi-
cine failed to help.
II was a very worried little boy who
aoated down the canal with boat
load of tulip blooms, for his mother
was the very best one in the world, as
motbers have a way of being, and
there seemed to be nothing he could
do TO help. IF could only see the
Sandman" thought Hans, perhaps ne
would give me sand enough to put her
to Sleep"
When he started back from the city
his thoughts were anywhere but IN the
direction of the boat Suddenly ne
looked up and the canal seemed
strange. Not house nor mill was III
sight and far ahead was dim gray
shore line. Hans could not imagine
where he was, so rowed very bard and
soon reached the land
A little low gray house stood just
back from high-tide line, and to TINS
the bewildered Hans made his way
On the stone fence two birds ch1rped
sleepiiy,. the flowers all nodded, and
great dog slumbering on the step did
not stir at Hans approach. Even the
eyelids of the jolly face of the knock
er was closed.
The door swung open to Hans timid
knocks, and in the light from within
stood a quaint, frail little figure. Very
kind eyes looked out from under his
shaggy white brows and gentle voice
said: 'Who are you that come, oh so
open-eyed into this kingdom of sleep?"
Just Hans, SIR
Smiling, the old man drew him into
the wide hall hung with a thousand
soft-tinted lamps.
Are you the Sandman asked
Hans.
Then Hans told him all about his
mothers and begged that he send her
some dream sand so that she might
sleep, and the Sandman looked into
Hans heart. and seeing what good.
Thoughtful little chap he vas, prom
Used to do as he wished. Then he
showed Hans al the wonderful things
behind the thousand doors OF the hall.

own little boys and girls fast asleep.
