WOULDN'T MARCH.

l hope you will always take an in
terest in the marching. Little Tommy,
boy have heard about, did not care
to march. He was fat and would
rather sit still than run about.
Tommy's mother had told the teach
er that he must take part in the march
ing or any exercises that might take
some of the extra fat Off his lazy bones.
So the teacher tried her best to get
Tommy interested in marching. He
was new boy in her class.
But one morning when Tommy had
missed good many words in spelling
and had not had the right answer to
many of bis arithmetic questions he
was bit sulky. Instead Of blaming
the mistakes on his own carclessness
he was vexcd with the teacher and
cross with the children who had done
their work right. 1t was very silly OF
Tommy.
And when the teacher threw up the
windows and said, "Now the class will
stand up, ready for the march," Tom
my planted his feet stubbornly on the
floor and settled back in his seat.
The teacher looked surprised when
Tommy did not rise with the Others
She said: "1ommy, please rise. You
know we are going to march now"
But Tommy growled, II don't want
to march,"
The little girl at the piano began
playing the march. The other children
stepped brisllly around the room, and
when the last child passed TOmmy's
desk the teacher was behind him. She
whisked Tommy out of his seat and,
with her hands upon his shoulders,
pushed him into place and walked him
around the room with the rest of the
children.
At first Tommy was too taken back
to object, but when he found himself
being marched around the room against
his will he squirmed and struggled so
much that the rest of the children
who had been trying to keep sober
burst out laughing.
Don't you think you could march by
yourself now?" whispered the teacher.
and Tommy murmured, "Yes."
With his eyes on the ground he
tramped brisllly after the other chill
dren, and from that day to this the
teacher has had no trouble in getting
Tommy to join in the marching.

The HANDY Girl,

There are some girls who have per-
feet knack of fashiOning the daintiest
accessories from apparently nothing
save Il few scraps of material and a
yard or two of lace. One of the most
fascinating little negligees was made
by clever girl who had on hand an
unusually large supply of handker-
chiefs. -Four of these bits of linen were
Joined together with strips of lace and
an edging was run around the whole
thing. An opening was left in the
square. where two handkerchiefs met
and lace was sewed on each side in
stead of joining with one piece. Nile
green ribbon was used to tie ut the
neck and under the arms, and the re-
suit was cunning little negligee.

Prohibition and Suffrage

that womans suffrage Shall be forced upon

These facts beyond dispute, but that

for the passage Of the resolution submitting
the amendment to the States. These anti
prohihitonists need outlet for their
fury. They need some victim TO visit il upon.

wallop by forcing suffrage upon few mill
