The Pony,s Joke

T~OM and Jack were two broth
ers who always had very good
n times together. Perhaps that
was because they liked the same
things. II Jack got interested in
base ball, Tom was sure to think
that baseball was the best game that
could be played. When Tom got a
dog Jack Immediately begged for
one, too, and many jolly time did
the boys have with their pair of flne
Scotch collies.
But one day Jack happened to
think OF a pony. wouldn't 1t be
fun, Tom" he said, as soon as the
thought occurred to him, ''if we had
a pony?"
Fun? I should say It would"
replied Tom with enthusiasm, why
didn't we think of 1t before? Ponies
are a lot more fun than dogs"
"Yes, and we could ride all over
town." said Jack. Lets ask father
for one tonight"
"One" asked Tom. you mean
two, We're too big for riding on one
we'd have to have one apiece!"
So that very evening at the din
ner table, they asked their father
for the ponies.
"Ponies?" asked father thought
fully, when they told him about
their wish. ponies cost money to
buy and money to keep. Can you
earn money!"
OF course they could! And. after
some talk, father agreed to buy
them one pony whenever they had
earned enough to get the other. How
those boys did work! They ran
errands; they cleaned yards: they
carried ashes and they washed auto
mobiles. All through the winter
they worked. and when the first
pleasant spring days came they
counted up their money and found
they had enough-maybe they were
not happy!
Soon the ponies were purchased,
and then began jolly days. The
boys found the care of their new
pets almost as much fun as riding,
and they, kept Black and Prince
looking as fine as silk.

1t would be the right thing to celebrate

drink and be merry. (Revelry).

quired of thee; then whose shall those
things be, which thou hast provided?
Again, when I lived in Illinois we
had a very large crop of wheat This
was uncommon for that country.
The people had never harvested
their crops on Sunday. That year they
were so eager to fill their bins without
proper regard for the source from
which their blessings came, that they
disturbed the Sunday worship by
running their binders very near the
church house. The worshippers pro-
phesied that the next year they would
not have any crops to disturb their
worship with. The next year many
farmers did not raise their seed wheat.
Now ! am not a preacher but I be-
lieve in a God that says, love God and
your neighbor. If you are blessed with
an abundance be thankful to tho great
Giver and remember your poor neigh
Dor. Do not ..aste your substance in
riotous living. Let us not spend the
twenty ninth of February in wasteful
