A NOBLE DEED.

1t was warm April morning as Ar

and attended the city school Of White-
stone, which is situated on the Stone
River
AS he walked along he listened to the
song that the hooking bird was sing
| Ing to his mate. She seemed proud of
| the fact that the nest which would soon
hold the pretty eggs, was nearly I'm
ished.
Arthur left home soon every morning
30 he could take his time and listen to
| the birds sing and watch the squir-
rels play. He branched of from the
path that lod through tho woods to the
| main road which led into the western
part Of the city. He had Just gotten
In the city when his attention was
attracted by shouts OF boys as II they
were having the time OF their lives.
When Arthur saw what they were
doing he was disguised. Going toward
| them he murmcred ''the low-down

his fists clenchcd and he exclaimed,
How dare you insult that old gentle
| man. The idea of you strong boys

crowd?

Arthur. But being coward and a
bully. he skunk away and 80 did the
rest OF the crowd.
AS Arthur helped the old man to his
feet he discovered that It was Squire
Darby who held a mortgage on his
fathers farm.
The squire could not find words to
express his thanks for Arthur's kind
ness, and told him that this would not
be the last he would near of his kind
deed.
When Arthur reached home that
evening, true to the squires word he
heard from his mother that the squire
had taken the mortgage off his fathers
place and sum of money had been left
for him, which Arthur didn't want to
| take.
When Arthur's father came in at
night from work he said, Arthur, you

THE SOUND OF MYSTERY.

Down on the shore Of the deep blue sea
Trembled n sound Of mystery;
IT glanced upon the open sky,
A glittering tremble Of the sailors eye.
lie knew not what storm coulo appear,
Ihat rolled the sky so bright and clear;
no knew not yet the storms course,
That swept the sea with such force.
Tho mystery had secreted sound;
1t charged the sen with mighty
bound;
II covered an area broad and wide:
1t rolled the waters and swept the tide.
Tho sailor drew the aail with fear,
And rushing waters he could hear;
no tied 1t down and nailed the lock,
But on the water the ship did rock.
The sailor turned without a hope;
lie locked tho door and tied the rope;
The thunder seemed to be tho head
The sailor rested on his bed.

A LEGEND.

There is a short legend told as to
why the temple OF Jerusalem was
built on the Judean Hills. It is quite
interesting and teaches us what kind Of
spirit to have.
Many years ago two afrectionate
brothers lived on the hills Of Judea-
One was married man and had the
responsibilities Of household and
family, while the other was n lonely
man. Both were engaged in farming
Ono evening the eldest brother said
to his wife: my brother Is n lonely
man. with no one to make him happy.
I shall take some OF my sheaves and
put them on his side and in the morn
ing he will be delighted to find such an
increase" He soon gathered some
sheaves and started of with them
In the meantime his brother said to
his workmen My brother Is n mar
ried man, with the responsibilities of
n household and many mouths to feed
am alone and do not need all this
wealth. l shall take some of nv
shcsvcs and put them on his side and
In the morning II Will please him to
md large stock" He. too, started
OF with some sheaves.
The next evening the two brothers
did likewise. but on the third they met
face to face, each with an armful of
sheavcs. The temple OF Jerusalem was
huilt on that spot, 40 runs the legend,
because II was thought that earth camo
nearest to heaven there.

Boys will be boys. and they could
not be contented to go to bed with
out teasing poor Peter little. Jack
called Fred and whispered something
to him. They went In a tent md got
n sheet and n night cap and crept to

have to pass by. Then they tied the
sheet to n limb. putting the night cap
on SO as to make it look like ghost.
Peter came. walked by and spied tho
ghost One look was enough for him,
when he took to his heels and didn't
stop running until he reached camp
and told tho boys his experience. Then
tho boys went back with Peter to the
tree and showed him what had given
him such a fright. Peter was a good
natured boy. and enjoyed it as mucn
as the others After n few days Of

THE CLEANERS.

A picture study OF the Cleaners
where we had at school taken from my
composition.
In the picture there are three wo-
men. Their work is very hard. They
work by hand. The two women on
the right are gathering grain, while the
one on the left Is tucking II in her
apron. They wear on their heads a
small cap, around their waist is a
large apron which they use in carrying
grain.
In the background of the harvest
field Is q wagon hauling sheaves to
the stacks. There are other workmen
gathering grain. Far to the left near
the farm house 10 an overseer who sees
whether the people are doing their
work right.
This picture teaches me to be kind,
unselflsh and willing to give. Though
the peasant life Is very hard. they
find much pleasure in 1t.
This famous and beautiful picture
was painted by Jean Francois Millet.
Mr.. Millet had seen his father and
mother go and work in the peasant
field. One day Mr.. Millet saw an old
man passing by. He became so In
terested in the man that he painted
his picture. (Original.)

And your life seems not worth while,
When a heavy heart browns out the

Keep going and just smile
When the fellows give cross looks and

Just show them it's not your style;
When your burden wants to crush you
down.
Keep going and just smile.

1t Will turn your dark 20 light;
And II your heart is full Of regret
Keep going and keep to tho right
Your smile will start a little wave
That will surely go on forever,
And may some other follow save
Before 1t hits the bank OF the river.

You'll find it's ever worth while.
And heaven will look on thee with

So keep going and just smile.
