MIKE

Mike was not rich and still he
was not poor. His father made
toys in the toy shops. Mike did
not want toys. He wanted to live
in the country.
One day his mother sent him to
the country to visit his Uncle Billy.
When Mike got there he first in
spected the barn then the chicken
coop, the pig pen and last of all
the house.
The next day ne went out and
played in the field. In the after
noon he watched his uncle dig po-
tatoes. Mike said, Uncle l want
to be gardener"
His Uncle Billy said, Come on
and help dig potatoes"
Mike said, "Oh, see the butter
fly" And away he went.
The next day he went to play
with his cousin who lived with his
Uncle Robert.
When he went home he told his
father and mother that when he
grew up he would be farmer. His
father told him that the next sum-
mer he could work for his Uncle
Billy. So when school ended the
next spring, Mike went to the coun-
try to work for his uncle. He found
that farming wasn't all play.
Since he was not Stacker he
stuck to it all summer. When the
summer was over his uncle said,
Il knew that you didn't like the
work and since you presevered and
did the work well, am going to re-
ward you. Remember that goat
and wagon that you wanted? Well,
am going to give it to you. | like
boys who finish all the things that
they begin.
The next day when Mikes moth
er looked out of the window she
saw Mike riding down the street in
his wagon.

he always ended whatever he be-
gan.-Everett Lady, Starr school.

Princess Mable was very naughty

she was much prettier- Then. too,
the prince liked Viola much better
than Mable because she was kinder.
The night of the ball, Viola said

After the ribbons were tied Hill

back with frightened face, saying
that she had seen something NOV

went to her room and there she
saw Mable just leaving the room
with the dress on her arm. Viola
recovered the dress.
That night the old king rose and

an dstarted back. 1t was now quite
late, but the moon and stars gave
all the light necessary to see the
way. When he reached the hill he
found the old man still lying there.
Without dismounting, he called out
loudly to him to waken. But there
was no answer. He called several
more times, with the same result.
Finally. he dismounted, and shook
the sleeper roughly. This reused
him, and he made feeble attempt
to rise, but fell back fainting. The
prince stepped to where small
stream trickled from a nearby rock,
and filling his cup, offered it to the
worn treveler. After he had some
what revived, the prince asked him
about. place of shelter. The old
man told him of an empty cabin
only short distance ahead where
he himself had been intending to
pass the night. Thither he said he
would guide the prince. But when
he attempted to walk he found him
self too weak. This seemed to
move the prince somewhat. for he
grudgingly made room for the man
to ride behind him on the horse.
In this way they came to the cabin.
But the events of the evening
had strangely stirred the prince.
and when he finally fell asleep he
realized that he was happier than
he had been before for long time.
The next morning. when he started
on he carried his new friend for
several miles leaving him finally at
his destination.
After that it seemed to him that
there was not day passed that he
did not have an opportunity to help
someone. And always he noticed
after he had assisted someone he
was just little happier than be-
fore. Thus he went on for many
years helping all whom he could,
and in that time he lost all his self
ishness. But during the years of
usefulness he had not quite forgot
ten the object of his long search.
And yet though he had not OBJ
tanned the pearl, he had secured
that which he had wanted even
more happiness.
Early one morning as he rode
along he seemed to feel that soon
his search for the pearl would be
over. Suddenly he saw ahead the
shining towers and high buildings
of great city. He decided that if
the pearl could not be found in that
city, he would give up his search
and return home. AS he came
nearer to the place he could see
that around it was a high wall of
white marble. A beautiful barred
gate closed the city to strangers.
He reigned up his horse and sat
admiring the wonderful structure.
The marble supports on either side
extended upward for at least fif-
teen feet and the arch over them
was about twelve feet long. The
whole surface of the marble pillars
was covered with the most exqui-
site carving. AS he scrutinized the
carvings of the arch above he no
ticed what seemed to be a scroll,
partly unrolled. He looked more
carefully and read these words:
1.-THE Reward of Unselfishness is
the Priceless Pearl of Happiness.
The words seemed at first to
have stunned him, for he sat star

ing fiXedly at them for some time.
Then gradually. as their full mean
ing came to him, smile came to
his lips and bright light from
within seemed to illuminate his
face. For now he realized that the
gem which he had SO long sought
had come into his possession with
out his knowledge of it; and his
weary search might have ended be-
fore had he known the true nature
Of the pearl which he desired.

THE PEARL

~hJ nohuASu JSoio doo' III "
far away country, there lived a
young prince. This prince. though
possessing enough of land and
money to make almost anyone hap
py. still was the most unhappy per-
son imaginable. The reason for
this was that he was extremely sell
fish. He was always wishing for
happiness and yet his very own
selfishness kept him from having
it.
When the prince became a young
man he determined to become a
knight and leave home to seek d.
versions which would make him
happy. He thought that if he could
fight and become famous that that
might help him to secure his happi-
ness. So for long time he rode
about seeking adventure to make
himself famous. But though he
fought in many battles and did
many brave deeds, he still re-
NAMED unhappy.
In riding over the kingdoms he
heard many stories which greatly
interested him. Once he heard an
old wise man telling Of wonderful
jewel. This jewel was "a priceless
pearl" and it was said that it
might belong to anyone who had
the strength to overcome the OBJ
stacles which lay in the way to it.
And best of all, the one who had
the pearl was sure to be the happi-
est person in the world.
These words aroused the prince
and he vowed at once that he would
have the pearl, cost what 1t might.
Surely he was strong enough to
overcome any obstacles. He jour
neyed far and wide searching and
inquiring for the gem. But no one
seemed ever to have seen it, nor
could anyone give him the least ad-
vice as to where it might be found.
This was very discouraging and the
prince became more unhappy than
ever. The bare thoughts that he
could not obtain what he wanted,
and that someone else might. secure
it first, made him more selfish tan
ever. His absolute disregard for
people around him was more than
it had ever been before.
One Gay, as he was riding over a
particularly rough and hilly road,
he saw just ahead of him a sight
that could but have moved any
heart other than his. An old man
had been laborously toiling along
carrying heavy burden up the
rocky road. But evidently his
strength had given out, for he had
fallen faint and helpless by the
wayside. The prince seemed not
to be affected by the pathetic fig
ure,. but. after a short glance, rode
on urging his horse to a quicker
gait, for night was rapidly ap-
preaching. and he must seek shell
ter. He continued for some dis
lance, but passing no dwelling, he
stopped his horse to consider what
he should do. 1t was now too late
to hope for anyone to pass that
way, for the road was lonely one.
Then he remembered the old man,
whom he had passed a mile or so
back on the hillside Surely he
must have known that there was
shelter somewhere by the way, CT
he would not have started alone on
a journey just at night fall. Think
