NETTIE'S NOTE.

IT UST think of it. Seven little
81 girls adj called out in front
of the class for being absent the
day before, and bringing no note of
excuse.
No wonder Miss Brown looked
stern as she asked each one why
she had come without it. You will
hardly believe it. but every one of
those seven little girls said, MANN
hadn't time to write ONE
WELL said the teacher, 81
would much rather your mother
would write with lead pencil, on
a piece OF rough, brown paper, than
to have you bring MO excuse at all
know your mothers are busy, but
there are almost always some scraps
of brown paper that have been
wrapped around bread and pencil
somewhere near so it would take
only minute to write note.
1t was not long after his that
Nettle's baby sister was taken sick
and mamma kept the little girl
home two days to help mind Baby
or to do little things around the
house.
On the third day the little one
was so much better that mamma
told Nettie she could go back to
school.
Mamma took from her writing
desk sheet of creamy white pap

write an excuse, when Nettie cried
in dismay
Please don't take that paper,

THE RABBITS AND THE
CHILDREN.

"a fable.
~ NE spring night when the moon
~ was lighting up the meadows
till they were almost as bright ais
day, the Easter rabbits held an i'm
dignation meeting.
Easter was very near, and they
expected to provide Easter eggs
How they were to- do it was the
problem which they were trying
to solve, for just plain eggs were
selling at six for a quarter.
I'VE simply can not do it," they
said. And they repeated it over and
over to each other, until they got
quite excited, about it and decided
that there were to be no Easter
eggs that year.
So they printed notices saying
There Will BE Mo Easter. Eggs This
Year.
and hung them, ON the bushes lby
the road side. They then went back
to their homes and settled down to
sleep after their strenuous mornings
work. They were very much disap-
pointed for they enjoyed giving the
Easter eggs, and always thought the
Easter season the happiest OF the
year.
But just as they had got comfort
ably asleep they were awakened
by strange and mournful sound
They rubbed their eyes with them
long ears sleepily, and tried tc
imagine what it was. But they
couldn't guess. AS they couldn't
sleep on account of the noise, and
as they We're curious to know what
it ALL meant, they crept to- the en-
trance of heir holes and peeped out.
And what do you suppose they
saw? Why, whole bunch of child
rem who were on their way home
from school and had stopped te
read the notices. They We're all cry
ing as hard as they could cry.
The rabbits watched them for SONS
time. They were very sorry to SET
the children feeling so badly, ant
decided to reconsider their decision

Mamma did not know what it
all meant and told the little
girl how strange it would be for
a teacher to ask such a thing as
that, but Nettie still insisted, and
as it was very nearly schooltime
mamma wrote the excuse on the
brown paper. w
Nettie very proudly gave her
note to the teacher, and said as
fast as she could, Mamma wanted
to write on white paper, but did

A short time after the pohtman
brought note from Nettie's ma
ma telling why she wrote the
note on the brown paper. Miss
Brown wrote back in reply saying
that Nettie had explained every
thing.
After school she gave the note
to Nettie to- take to her mother,
and explained to Nettie that she
was not at all particular about
the color of the paper, but that
she was particular that each one
should bring note of some kind.

ABOUT WHIPPING CREAM.

Richness, age and cold are
essential in whipping cream. 1t
should be 80 to 40 per cent cream
at least "a hours old, and it is i'm
portant that it be kept cool. If the
cream refuses to whip and gets
frothy add a very little lemon juice
Not more than a half teaspoonful
to a quart of cream. This slight
amount will not FLAVOR the cream
nor tend to sour it, and there will
be no more frothiness.

BABY's TOES.


Ten little pigs that grow and thrive,
Rosy and plump and clean;
Two little pens, each holding five,
And the owner is baby Gene.
They wriggle about, and root and
dig,
And push again and again,
Till at last we find one dear little
Is out of the little red pen.
Baby Gene is a dear little man,
Bald and serious, too,
He locks at the pigs whenever he
But he has a great deal to do.
And this little pig says he'll get
some corn
And the next one ories,"O where :?
And the little one says, I'm grand
pals barn
And the great one knows it's
there.
Four little toes he can plainly see;
Have them he must and will;
He strains and struggles but "quee
quee -quee"
He can't get over the sill.
So he's given it up, and off he
goes,
with grandfather Gene before
Stumbling and rubbing his dear
little nose
On the way to the pantry door.
You queer little pig, you're ever
so bold,
But it never, never win do;
The great wide would would be

The Old Lody Who Lived in Shoe

Ehe Old Lody Who Lived in Sho,
There was an old lady
And what do you think;
Her children 'Tis said
Were aid black as ink:
The mother, it seems
Was Tabby by name,
And I'm sure that her history
Is we'll known to fame.
She lived in shoe,
And the question was whe ther
The children grew black
From the contact with leather.
Their diet was plain,
Fit to make glossy fur,
And brought from each kitten
A Satisfied purr.
Milk WITHOUT bread
Was nightly received,
Then they scampered to bed
And all care was relieved.
The moral is plain,
If the child you would raise
To health and, contentment
The rest of its days,
Teach it to mind;
Give it food that will nouuish;
And the child and it's moehtr
I'm sure will both flourish.

After much discussion they conclud-
ed to appeal to the hens to help
them.
When the matter was laid before
the hens they promised to do their
best, and their best was so good thai
they had SO many eggs that the
price dropped from six for quarter

WILLIAMS AS A SCIENTIST.
BY Chas. A. Starks.

Nothing is so indicative of human
men to view death in a calm, thought
full, sensible manner and realize that
this event in no wise ends the Divine
and immortal purpose of life as eXem-
plified in the individual.
Prof. T. w. H. Williams had taken
have led hi mon to the nobler ways
of this co-eXistence with the eternal.
He must have learned that cold ma
terialism held out but little hope for
men here or hereafter, that an under
standing along the lines of Spiritual
Science is the only thing that makes
attainable the Great truth of happi,
ness and love. Here was a pedago-
que, a teacher of mankind, who for
35 years devoted his services to the
gruelling away of the crudities of
childhood, pointing out. explaining
interpreting, making things compre
hensible to the young. All of which
was very beautiful. But it was this
new thought that took mold of the
veteran teacher and carried him, by
sheer force on to higher ground. The
teacher became the warm enthusiastic
student. To most people Williams
in late years, showed idiosyncrasies
of senile temperament, but to the mi
tiated he merely demonstrated the
glory of Science, a Science that ush
ers me into the realm of love, the
supremacy of mind real. The writer
is grateful for what little contact he
enjoyed with this man. He remem
bers and always will, the sweet en-
couragement, the Grand old fellow

offered him in his literary effort. He
was our devoted reader. He was
more. He inspired by his sympathy
and great understanding. We are not
separated now, separation includes di-
vergence. AS we are all going the
same way, it really makes little diff
ference when we reach our destina-
tion-Truth. For all shall see, all
shall know, know what? Death? No.
Not death, but the Truth! Remem-
Der this Truth" is life, and this is
what w shall know life and life shall
make us free of death, oh Freedom,
Yes, we must know sooner or later,
here or elsewhere. Truth compels it.
Someday, sometime, someplace man
shall know his God. Death-Time-
Mortality passes-Life, eternity, i'm
mortality remain.
