Peter and tie fare

Thoughtless little Peter, with his
little gun,
Went out by the woodside for a
little fun,
Saw happy little hare who on
clover fed,
With his little gun took aim, and
shot him in the head
Thoughtful little Peter, sad for
what he'd done, g.
Sat down on a stump, and there,
by it. laid his gun;
Wished that he could bring to life
that little hare so still.
"Nevermore," said he, will | a
harmless creature kill"

The Little Strangers

There is a pretty little child.
Lives in behind our looking glass;
Whene'er l walk across the floor,
Then she comes out to see me pass.
I know she is playful child,
For if run, then so will she;
And she has playthings just like
mine;
They always dress her, too, like me.
If l go close, then she comes close,
Some day l think that we shall
speak,
And then I'll ask her to come
through,
And stay with me whole long

on the end Of the British line.
The general, who was great stick
Ter for discipline, said to the last man
on the left:
do you know, sir, that you're the
most important soldier in the army?"
Private Perkins murmured some
modest, rejoinder, but, as in duty
bound, kept his eye glued to the per-
iscope with his vista Of No Mans
Land.
"Yes," resumed the general, you're
the last man In the last squad Of the
lasts platoon Of the last company Of
the last battalion Of the last regi-
ment Of the last brigade"
After this impressive announcement
the general turned on his heel and de.
parted. Then the sergeant major, lest
Private Perkins should be pufked up
by the suddenly conferred importance,
added:

COULDN'T USE MOTOR CARS

Of these had been made specially for
her, many were gifts from high
Chinese potentates and all were gor.

savorite was an eight-passenger French
machine with its body painted deep
orange and its seats upholstered in VIC

blue turquoise stones.
But the dowager never rode in a mo-

48 varieties ever left the imperial ga

In 1908 there were not more than a
dozen motor cars In all China besides
the collection in the imperial garage;
today there are about 400, at least 60
per cent of which are driven by Oc-
