Little blue pigeon with velvet eyes;
Sleep to the singing of mother-bird

Swinging the nest where her little
one lies.
Away out yonder see q star
Silvery star with tinkling song;
To the soft dew falling / hear II call
Calling and tinkling an the night

In through the window moonbeam
comes
Little gold moonbeam with misty
wings;
All silently creeping. it asks: as he
Sleeping and dreaming while mother

Up from the sea there floats sob
OF theswaves that are breaking upon
the shore,
As though they were groaning in an
guish, and moaning
Bemoaning the ship that shall come
no more.
But sleep, little pigeon, and fold your
wings
Little blue pigeon with mournful
eyes;
Am 1 not singing ?-see, I am swing
Swinging the nest where my darling

Faithful chrisie.

Dear Uncle Jed: I think the Wide
Awakes would like to hear about my
dog, Chrisie. When I was three years
old our Heighbor gave me a puppy dog
for Christmas present. How de-
lighted I was to have a friend to play
with. It was born the day before
Christmas, 50 named Il Christie.
During the winter nights when I
thought it was too cold for him I'm the
Kitchen I would take him up to bed
with me. And he would stay there
until I was ready to come to break
fast. Then we would start or to-
gether for my grandmothers house
to spend the day with her.
He was a very obedient dog. but he
had a very bad habit of running aft
er chickens and automobiles One day
when we were out for a walk, 1t hap
pened to be on boat race day. When
the boat race was over the autorno-
| biles were on their homeward trip, so
Chrisie started after them, and get
ting out of the way of one was hit
by another. He ran all the way home
barking and crying. When we got
home we gave him some medicine to
try to gave him. but it was in vain, for
the next morning he died.
We have had many other dogs, but
none as faithful>as Chrisie.
