The Lost Boy.

Glen's father was travelling agent
for a business firm and was much
OF the time on the road.
Once when he had to make a
trip of considerable length he de-
cided to take the little boy with
Lin.
At first Glen thought it was
great fun. He liked to watch the
houses, and fences whirl past
them, or SO it seemed to him, and
he thought he never would get tired
riding ON the train.
But as the day wore on he began
to wish he did not have to sit
in the seat all the time. 1t Was
a good seat but who wanted to sit
still in a seat all the time.
Then something happened, and
the train came to a stop. Many of
the passengers hurried out to see
what the trouble was, but Glen's
father was reading a book and
paid little attention to the delay.
Glen went out with the others
and heard the engineer say that
it would take a long time TO re-
pair the engine.
How good it seemed to- be out
in the sunshine again. He was
glad he didn't have to go back in
the car for awhile and he walked
up and down the track and gather
ed the wild flowers which grew
along the roadside.
He soon tired of this and sal
down in the grass to rest. He
must have slept and the blowing o,
the whistle aroused him. He start
ed to his feet and ran for the
train, but it had already started

Every woman who has reason to
believe that backache, headache, un-
natural pains, low spirits, sleepless
nights, Irregularities or a catarrhal
condition is caused by a arrangement
of the wonanly functions, owes it to
herself and dear ones to speedily over
come the trouble before a general
breakdown causes permanent prostra-
ton.

"a without looking back.
Poor Glen. What could he do?
Here he was away out on the track
less prairie, miles from any one
and might coming on. What would
you have dome? What would any
of us have done? And Glen was
only a little boy.
OF course he was scared, and he
screamed until he could not scream
any more, but he kept on crying
for eve so long, until he almost
cried himself to sleep.
Then a dreadful thought came to
him. There were wolves ON this
prairie, he heard one of the men
on the train say So, and it would
soon be dark; he must not go to
sleep OF they would eat him up.
At this thought he began to
scream again, and who could
blame him? The sun was down now
and the shadows begun to gather
over the prairie.
1t "a lucky that he heard a
sound which gave him hope then,
or l am afraid he would have died
or been crazed with fright.
Listen surely some one is coming
Yes, there down the track comes
a hand car, and even in the gath
ering darkness he recognized his
father.
With ~outstretched arms he ran
toward it, cryinng with joy and
relief. His father jumped from the
a and gathered the little boy
in his arms, hugging him tightly
and, would you believe it, the faith
er actually cried too, he was sc
glad.
You may believe he did not lei
the little boy get away from hin
again, and after that Glen was
glad to keep close to his father.

Martha and Her Swan

Little Martha's father was rich
and they lived in a big house sur
rounded by beautiful grounds.
The lawn was as smooth as the
palm of your hand, and here and
there were great beds of flowers.
They had horses and COWS and
chickens-an of the finest.
But the things which little
Martha liked best We're the swans
She considered them her swans. To
whom else could they belong,
for didn't she feed them every
morning? And did't they come sail
ing up to her through the water,
and raise their long, graceful necks
to catch the food she threw to
them? OF course they were her
swans.
Every morning as soon al she
was dressed, little Martha would
take the dish Of crumbly dough and

Gold Locks to Bessie

Dear Bessie, do you remember
How all our dolls took tea,
One lovely summer afternoon,
Under the locust tree?
We liked the grass for a playhouse
And liked the shade and breeze
Only that overhead there buzzed
So many bumble-bees.
You cried when a great big fellow
Came sailing through the air.
And got his head and legs an
y wings
All tangled In your hair.

it was the swans that saved hel
from drowning. And every morning
now when she feeds them she gives

Little Boy Blue.
The little toy dog is covered with
dust,
But sturdy and staunch he Stands
And the little toy soldier is red
with rust,
And his musket molds in his
hands.
Time was when the little toy dog
was new,
And the soldier was passing hair
And that was the time when our
Little Boy Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
"Now, don't go till come" he
siad,
"And don't you make any noise"
So, toddling eff to his trundle bed,
He dreamt of the pretty toys;
And as he was dreaming, am angel
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, the years
are long
But the little toy friends are
true.
Ay, faithful to Little Boy Blue the,
stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of the little
hand,
The smile of a little face;
And they wonder, as waiting tn,
long years through
In the Pdust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy
Blue
Since he kissed them and pu
them there.
