About Minnie.

Perhaps YOU would like to hear some
things about Minimize
Minnie il q pretty little dog. Her
master is little boy whom she loves
dearly When he calls her. she runs
right to hirn-oh, so fast!
Minnie likes to lie down on the
hearth by the fire. and go to sleep.
Minuiefs little master lived at the
seaside last summer; and when he
went In bathing, he would take Min
ME in. too. and wash her. But Min
ME did not like to be washed any
more than some little boys and girls
do: SO, as soon as she could, she
would swim to the beach, and run
about in the sun till she was dry.
Then she would run all over the
rocks after her little master, and not
tumble once. I should think she would
have fallen, should not you? for the
rocks are quite slippery.
Minnie sleeps in the barn nights
with the stableman.

An Adventure.
On a hot summer. day three BROTH
ers, Andrew, John and Harry, were
going to Sunday school. The had
told not to go to the lake. Like ah
bad boys they wanted to do the very
thing that they ought not to.
Let's not go to Sunday school at
all today sair Andrew.
NO. tn be too hot and stuffy in
I'll tell you what we will do" said
Andrew. Wen get the boat and row
around the lake until Sunday school
is over and then go home"
OF they went. When they came to
the lake they united the boat and
jumped in. Andrew took the pole
and stood in front and polzed it down
into the water every little while to
to see how deep the water was. All
that time the sky was getting dark
and darker.
The boys turned the boat and rowed
for the shore.
Near the shore Andrews pole stuck
in the mud at the bottom of the lake
and ever he went. head first like a
frog, the last seen of him was his
legs.
The others were badly frightened
and stepped the boat.
Help! am drowning!" John
shouted, at the same time swallowing
a quart Of lake water.
Here, Andrew" said John putting
out an oar to pull him up, wen catch

world didn't you fall in. said Harry.

They rowed to the shore and tied
up the boat just as it was beginning
to rain. There was q shed close TO the
shore and they ran into it. Here they
stayed till the shower was over and
then went home.
Why, Andrew, you're soaked to the
skin, YOU must have been caught in
that shower"
Yes" said Andrew, and ran up
stairs.
This set the mother to thinking, but
although she questioned the boy
rather closely, she could never find out
how it really happened.
