REALLY MORE THAN NEEDED
YOunuster Asked God to Send Nice Cool Rain and DeIuge Flooded
 FieIds of the Southwest.

We were living in the Southwest, For weeks and months we had no rain, relates a writer in the Country Gentleman. Every day big, promising looking clouds rolled up, broke apart and drifted away. Streams were dried LID, vegetation was burning up and life was Well-nigh unbearable to man ana beast. From 12 to IS inches of sand and dust covered the highways; gnats made life hideous; heat parched our skin and throats. Rain was the only relief, and rain we did not get. Every uiGht at bedtime four -year-Old Robert on pended knees by his little white bed asked God: "Please don't forget to send a nice, cool rain."
 One day the big, black clouds rolled up as usual, but we noticed that they were all fringed with green. Pretty soon a big wind sprang up and leveleo small houses and barns, broke down trees, scattered chickens, ducks, straw and haystacks all over the country. A hig hail followed the wind, and theE came raln-a perfect deluge! Streams
 rose clear out of their banks and thu
 water came creeping over the neld' and toward the houses and cattle
 pens; pretty soon it had flooded thu yard and was nearly to the door.
 Small Robert took a survey of th' l situation, and then in small. fright | ened voice said: Daddy, don't blanc it all on me. God had ought to knowS( A small kid like me didn't need such lawful big rain,"

Sam. Old chIldrsn's Booko.

John Newbury set the fashion of publishing juvenile story books about l756, retaining Goldsmith and others to write them, and in the list of such pub
 lications 1t Is somewhat startling to come across '"Tom Jones" and "Joseph ndrews''-"abrldged for the amuse- ment of youth," it is true, but not at all in the direction one would expect, says the Boston Globe. There was, however, quite literally, powder in the jam, even with Newbury's publications. The worthy publisher was the proprie- tor of the famous Dr. James Powder, and contrived to introduce ingenious references to this profitable sideline in- to his book. Thus in "Goody- Two Shoes" the herOine'S father dies miser- ably because "seized with fever In 6 place where Dr. James Powder was not to be had"

Squirrel Aided sridqe Builders,

There is an old Hindu story about Rama's bridge. Rama, the chief of the gods, was building a bridge, and the monkeys came to nel1 in the work. They carried earth and stones and trees, and piled them up. They moved cliffs and mountains. While the work was at its height the squirrel came to help. The squirrel could not carry much, but he rolled himself up in the sand and scampered to the bridge and shook the sand from his coat and scampered back again. The monkeys stopped and laughed at the squirrel. They said, 'Ho! what does he think he is doingT But Rama had watched the squirrel, and he reproved the monkeys, saying that according to his powers the squirrel was doing as much as any of them. And this legend adds that Rama reached down and stroked the squirrel kindly, and from that day to this the squirrel has al- ways borne upon his coat the stripes that are the marks of Rama's f1ngerS.

 4 short time ago several cOlOred men were arrested charged with assault and battery, All had engaged tp q Gree-for-au fight and two of the men had received several knife wounds. One man, however, told the judge that he arrived on the scene, just as tue police came, to see what the excite ment was about, and, being mistake9 for one of the fighters, was taken to police headquarters with the other men.
 When the case was called in police court, it was continued for 8 few days, and after hearing the story the judge told this man that he would let him out on his 70. R." after he had promised to return on the day of the trial.
 One of the other prisoners was so impressed with the easy manner in which his friend got out of jail that he asked for an opportunity to speak and then said: "Jedge, yer honor, sure would like to get out. don't know what kind of bond this o.
