Most Wonderful

A certain little girl evidently has
listened long and earnestly to her
mothers discourses upon the obliga-
tions of the husband and father, judg-
ing from her answer to her school
teacher recently. The teacher asked:
"What is the most wonderful thing
man has done?"
Mary's hand shot up instantly. The
teacher smiled, nodded to the child
and leaned back expectantly.
Support his family" piped Mary
in her shrillest voice.

The Spelling Bee.

The house was well-nigh crowed
When the time came for the bee,
And, after some persuadln',
There came up along with me
M. D. and D. D. doctors
And NJ. AS full score,
And editors and teachers,
And of lawyers several more.
Twas funny then to see 'em
AS the hard words came like hail,
A-pausin and stammerin'
And a-turnin' almost pale.
But, law! it all came to me
Like it used to long ago
And l saw the Blue Back speller,
With each long and even row.
And l gave 'em, with the column,
The place, the side, the age,
For saw those words like faces,
Of old friends that do not age;
But those learned folks kept !roppin'
Like the leaves off any tree,
And at last there wasn't standin'
But D. D. up with me.
And there came poser,
And the doctor he went down,
And shout went up that startled
Half the sleeping folks in town
But | didn't care for prizes
The thing that made me glad,
Was to down 'em with the Blue Back
