Doris Nelson was little girl eleven
years of age. Her mother was dead
and her father was an invalid. Doris
had one little sister Nose name was
Mary. Mr.. Nelson rad been an in
valid only two months. but the little
sum of money which he had save
while in good health was very nearly
exhausted 1t would last only one
week more Doris thought and
thought about what would become OF
her father baby sister. and herself
when it was gone JUST then bright
thought came into her mind. Why
not work. and remain where they
were. but what would a little girl like
her do? l know, cried Doris, can
keep little shop and sell doll dresses
nd hats She bought some scraps Of
velvet, felt, lawn, muslin and some
lace from Mrs FELTON,, the dress
maker. Doris was not conceited, but
she could not help knowing that she
was skillful with the needle From
the felt and velvet she very tastefully
designed doll hats trimming them
with wreathes and. feathers from old
hats She made many dresses out Of
the lawn and muslin, the lace was
very useful in making the little dresses
much more attractive. For one week
her little hands were never idle. When
her house work was done she sewed.

DURING A STORM

One night as a man was on his
way home, a storm arose. The rain
was just pouring down. and the. thun-
der and tightening was so bad that
he hardly knew what to do. All al
once he saw an old church which
hadn't been used for years 50 he
got off his horse and went in the
window OF this old church AS the
lightning flashed he heard a noise.
He looked and saw woman stand
ing In the pulpit, Each time the
lightning flashed she would come
nearer and nearer to him. She finally
came right near him, and the next
fash of lightning came, she caught
him by the arm. The man jumped
out of the window. leaving his coat in
her hands.
As he got outside he gave his coat
jerk and pulled it out of her hands.
Then he put on his coat, mounted his
horse and rode off as fast as he could.
He soon came to one Of his friends
houses and tried to get someone to
go with him back to see what 1t was
in the church. But no one would
&C that night. The next morning he
and crowd of other men went to
the church and found that II was a
crazy woman In there. She had been
TO the asylum but she got away.

THELITTLE SHOPKEEPER

never seeming IN tire Saturday after
noon she spent In arranging boxes for
shelves in her little shop. When she
was through she put her doh dresses
on them She drove little pegs in the
wall TO hang the hats on. Lastly she
found piece of cardboard on which
she wrote Doll dress and hat shop"
When this had been tackled on the
door Doris was willing to leave her
shop until Monday. Monday morning
after she had prepared breakfast and
washed the dishes she took her sew
ing and went into the shop. In about
ten minutes two HIT girls came In.
They were the daughters of a wealthy
gentleman Mr.. Green by name. Their
names were Alice and Minnie. Each
one had two dolls. They bought new
clothes and hats for them. Alice
promised 10 bring Doris some scraps
of silk and lawn the next time She
came More girls came and at night
fall she had two dollars. and many
girls had brought her pretty pieces OF
goods. The little shop prospered and
the people called its keeper the Little
So the Nelson's neither
begged or went to the poorhouse and
Doris found that there were many
things a little girl could do.

1.-THE NATIVE TREES OF
NORTH AMERICA"

There are many pretty and useful
trees In North America. The most
useful forest trees are oak, walnut.
pine, cedar, poplar. maple and beech
nut. The elm. maple and beechnut
trees are nice for shade. The prin-
cipal fruit trees are the apple, peach,
orange. plum, pear. cherry and dam
son. The oranges and apples can be
kept all the winter. In the spring the
forest and shade trees bloom and bud.
The fruit trees look pretty in their
blossoms and some of them are very
sweet. especially the orange.
In the summer the fruit trees are
loaded with fruit and the forest trees
are full of green leaves.
The walnut. hickorynut and chest.
nut have delicious nuts. The leaves
of the forest trees have many different
coiors in the autumn.
The pine and cedar trees are ever
green and look very pretty and green

And soon ii will come and we'll be,
Free for the rest OF the year. q

With hearts so blithe and light;
And all are looking forward. ;
To the glad, Commencement

We assemble on that afternoon.
To decorate the stand:
With ferns, and all the wild fiower2 II
We find on our school land.
And when the crowd assemblies
From North. South. East and West.
We. in our highest spirits.
VIII do our very best.
First we have the singing,
Which is very nice to hear:
And though We do not know it,
1t pleases every ear
Next we have our plays so Ions.
And they're pronounced great
success
For what else. pray. could be the case,
With pupils of S. II. s.
We last prepare to leave the school,
with hearts still blithe and light.
To praise each feature of the time.
