GENIUS.

One day in little town genius
was born. She looked out upon the
strange wondering world and did not
know why she was there or who want.
ed her or if there was really anything
for her to do. She was little child
and played with other little children
such as Hope, Kindness and Craft
tude, vet she found lot of little UNI
kind folks known to everyone as En-
Wy, Ayarice, Jealousy, Cruelty and
even more of those little folks than
OF the real kind ones. Sometimes
she played their FRANKS, too, but
whenever she did the mother OF little
Genius would scold her and say,
You must be good, for | expect many
nice. good things from you some day.
So Genius grew and grew and grew.
lust like the turnip back Of the barn,
and when she was quite large nearly
all OF her little playmates declared
You should not be called Genius the
name does not suit you After a
while nearly everyone else said the
same thing. but Genius mother, who
slipped her arms around the little
creature, replied. II gave you that
name because God gave you genius,
and it will all be all right some day
But they hurt me-" the child com
planned. And they always WILL the
mother answered but some time or
other you will find you deserve the
name you bear. so do not despair
But Genius was lonely - very lonely
--- and sometimes she cried, or would
20 away with Jealousy and come back
unhappy. Envy made her miserable,
because she sighted her. Then Cen
ius said. Il will be awfu;ly bad and
mean - just as mean as ] can -- for
they have better time than | do"
But then Hope came along and said
Don't do that, Genius, or you viii
never, never get where YOU belong
So Genius grew slowly to be sure
but she grew-and one day she took
wings and few far away. When next
Avarice, Envy and Jealousy heard OF
her 1t was to learn that Genius was
on the top round. Did Genius laugh?
No, she merely said, Il only wish
could help everyone up where am,
for that is genius.
