Of golden leaf and shaped like reed.

it, and instantly there came forth the
sweetest strains of music he had ever
heard
John picked up the bag and threw it

10 his surprise, he saw that il was no

He began TO play again and garden
appeared filled with growing veeetat les.

| the open door John saw 4 well-flled
! hayloft
When he stopped playing the little
. house where he had lived had disappeared
rs wel as the garden.
Opening the door Of his new home John
was surprised to see the old man who had

for him, and then rernemN ering his
golden pipe he took it from his pocket
and began TO play upon it.
The gate outside clicked, and when
John looked out the door there was

THE BAG OF STICKS AND STONES.

THE BAG OF STICKS AND STONES.
Once there lived two bro,hers--Peter
and John. They were very poor and had
only little farm which their father had
left.
John WAS always up early and working
in the garden to provide the winter food
for himeelf and peter, but his brother
would sit in the doorway in the sun and
idle his time away while John worked.
What is the use, John7" Peter would
say. eve cannot get enough from the
garden to keep us all winter"
One day while the brothers were IN
their garden an old man came along
with o big bag over his shoulders and
asked If he might rest in the shade Of the
trees in front of their door
When he went away the brothers saw
that he had left his bag and upon looking
st il they found tied 10 the top card,
and on il was written, open each day
and each of you take out what you will
find on top; If you will do this. at last you
will find your reward.
Peter eagerly united the bag, but d
his disappointment he found only a stick
"Thc old cheatl" he cried, throwing the
stick into the road. "He left this just tc
make sport of us.

the bag, but all he found was a stone
though the bag appeared TO be full.
Each day John went to the bag and each
| time he found stick or stone, which
he carefully saved, as he did those tha
| Peter each day threw away.
zone day Peter said, "You can oper
the old bag and take out stick or
stone il you want TO, but | am tired o
doing that silly thing. | am golnl

"fou had better stay here, brother,

Ry Edgar A. Guest.
THE SMILE.

Come, let lis sit little while,
And try to analyse the smile.
Man unto smiles has been n slave
From his white cradle TO his grave.
The first glad sight his little eyes
Have learned TO know and recognize,
To look for in earth's dazzling place
Has been his mothers smiling face.
Though nothing else he understood
That smile hetokcned all things good.
And little as he was, and weak,
Too young in life to think or sneak,
lie knew that smile above him there
M ,ant tenderness and loving care,
And she found all her pain worth whii'
The day he first returned her smile. /.
The smile is life's supremest goal;
IL marks the victories of the soul;
1t is the ultimate reward
OF men who battle with the sword
Or men who till n patch OF soil,
1t is the reason mortals toll.
Men say they strive for fame and gold,
Or days of ease when they are old
And yet behind each purpose true
And everything that humans do,
Behind all things they hold worth while
They strive TO own the right TO smile
For they may only smile, when they
Find happiness along the way,
And In their smiles all men express
The measure of the days success.
| The failure, sick at heart and sore,
| Rises at dawn TO try once more
| And dreams of future conqucsts when
He too shall proudly smile again.
| The father with trout led mind
Who leaves fevered child behind
| Walks with a solemn face and sad
Where other men are truly glad,
| Nor shall he smile until the day
| His babe is strorg enough to play.
| Thus all men plod the roads OF life,
Bearing the burdens and the strife,
Toiling for gold or dcatllcss fame,
| Making some JOY of life their aim
| Yet all alike, mile after mile
| Seeking the right to wear a smile.
