The postponed meeting of the Ber- Mn Town School committee was held In tho court room of the Town hall last evening. The principal topic for discussion was the settlement of the late for the closing of the school term. On account of the prevalence of con- &Eious diseases at various times dur Ing the year it was deemed imper- ltive in order to comply with the law, lo extend the term further into the month of June than is generally nec- kssary. It was finally decided to close III schools. with the exception of the VorthinEton, on June 22. The Eorthington school is to close on June 29. This arrangement was rcc- knmended by State Supervisor of bchools J. w. Dows.
 On account of the school being (losed % long because of the smallpox ntuAAaon Nr. Bows explained that the )lass about to enter the High school has boon greatly handicapped and therefore hs recommended the exten- 1ion of time for two weeks. But he hep taken into consideration tha. many of the children will be needed b4 home and for this reason they have been given the beneht of at least one week.

THREE LITTLE GIRLS.

NfuAH1los
One day little Nellie and Nettie
and Nan
Put their heads close together to
make UP a plan
And they laughed and they whisp-
cred, as little girls can.
Said Nellie, Let us dress up and
visit i'm STYLE"
Said Nettie., Let's play in the
garden awhile"
But Nan said, Lets run off as
far as mile.''
So they took hold of hands and
away they ran !,
With hop and skip, ais
little girls can,
So happy were Nellie and Nettie
and Nan.
AnA they ram so far that a
miie it seemed,
Aud Nell was 50 tired she sat
down and dreamed,
Aud Nam saw spider and jumped
up and screamed.
Then these little girls, who once
were SO gay
Cried, IF we ever get back we al
| ways will stay
Then they took hold of hands ant
ran home all the way.

.sAnd won't we have any G.lrist-

Then mother told them that the
deep snow had shut up the roads SO
that probably Santa Claus could
not reach many homes which he ex
pected to visit. They could not go
to Aunt Mary's now, for they
would be too late for the Christ
mas tree, but as soon as it stopped
showing the roads would be brok-
en- and then they would go home.
But the morning before they
were to start, THE stage which
had been helped and plowed Through
the drifts, brought them box.
When they opened it they found
SUPPLIES from Aunt Mary, who had
heard CT their dilema. There WAS
a letter in the box. This is what

kept Santa Claus away too, at amy

he will not come until you get

we will have our Christmas just

SO they did rot go back home as
/ they had irtended, but made
their way to Aunt Marys to find

| What jolly time they had at
Aunt Mary.s just as nice as if it
was the real Christmas, with the
Christmas tree, the big dinner and
all the cousins, aunts and uncles.
When it was all over and they
rode home over the sparkling snow
Nellie said, Il don't care if Christ

hardly wait for the day.
When tine morning came ON which
they were to start, they woke up
early and looked out to see what
the weather promised. What they
saw was a gray cloud which over
Swallowed every thiIlg and there
was a snowy bank lying over the

FOR THO
: CHILDREN
THINGS TO PLAY.

When there are SO many things to
play,
Why should children ever be sad.
Kites to fly on windy day,
Paper dolls when the skies are
gray,
And stories to make you glad.
There are sleds and slides in the
winter, too,
And in the summer you row on
the lake,
Ard you can play soldier the
whole year through
And there's Dolly's sewing and
clothes to do,
And splendid sailboats to make.
And if the day has been stupid
and long,
So you wish and wait for the night,
And though all day every thing s
cross and wrong,
At last there's always the Sleepy
Song
And mother to hold you tight.

We Thought it over quite ~ while,

While trying to decide.
You can not know how hard it
They were such friends, you
And each one liked us so we could

But after talking all forenoon
John told us, me and jim.
To lead up Rover to the house
We'd have to part with him.
My, he WAS such a handsome dog,
And had such big brown eyes
That looked at us so friendly like,
And then he was so wise.
But we all led him to the porch,
And JOHN called ma to come
!! And tried to tell her how it was
But he was checked and dumb.
So then l told her Rover was
The dog that got our Jim
One day when he fell i'm the creek
| And was too small to swim.
And Rover pulled him to the

| But he is old, and so
We told cur motherr he's the one

! And Rover wagged his tail at her,
And banked, as if to say
He'd just ais soon Jump in the
For us most any day,
And we all waited hoping she
/ Would change her mind, and then
She slpocll her finger right at me,
And then said, 30 you Ben.
You picked him cut ON purpose
sir, -.
and she pulled Rover1s ears,
And petted him, and John he
smiled,
And we all gave three cheers.
Then mama said she guessed per-

SHE really didn't know

And not to let him go.
