The SELFISH BEETLE

There once lived a little beetle who
was quite happy when the sun was
shining, but when it began to rain he
was sad little creature.
He hated to get wet, not because he
did not like the feeling, but because
he was afraid of spelling his shining
coat.
One day it was raining, and he was
peeping out from under a leaf which
sheltered him from the rain, when he
saw Mrs. Caterpillar going slowly by.
She said: How do you do" and
then crawled under the leaf with him
and rolled herself in a nice, comfort
able ball to take little nap until the
shower was over, but do you know
she could not get wink of sleep be.

little beetle.
Mrs. Caterpillar was good-natured
little lady, and so instead of getting

FOR THO
CHILDREN
MARJoRlEs' FIRST PARTY

MARJORIES' FIRS PAHlY
Little Marjorie had received her
first invitation to birthday party, and
| although she had very, little idea what
| a party like this she was full of joy
about it.
When the day came and it was time
to get ready, she skipped gayly up the
stairs. But when she opened the
door and saw her dress laid upon the
bed, with the ribbons and sash, a
shadow clouded her face, for she only
wore that dress when she went to
church or to make proper calls with
mama She always had to sit
straight and quite when she made
calls, and you know it is task for a
little girl to sit perfectly quiet.
Mother. is a party something to
eat?" Marjorie asked as her mother
arranged the ribbons on her hair.
well, not altogether" answered her
mother, as she Strengthened out the
bows. This reply did not reassure
the little girl.
When she was ready and came down
to the hall, she found Mary Green, who
was little older than she, and who
was to take her to the party.
Somehow Marjorie's enthusiasm had
gone and she was beginning to be
afraid of the party. She walked along
beside Mary Green, but the farther
they went the worse she felt. Finally
tear splashed down on the best
dress
Mary took the little girl by the hand
and quickened her pace, half dragging
her. When they reached the from
door, Mary still holding Marjorie by
the hand, lifted the heavy bronze
knocker. The fearful sound was
more than Marjorie could stand, anC
wrenching her hand away she bound
ed round the corner OF the house
away from the party.
But she had taken path leading tt

AS he hoped upon the snow,
He says it goes the best of all;
Well let him show us, though
So Bobby threw his head back
And stretched himself to coast,
And muttered something softly,
1t sounded like a boast;
And little Charlie Simpson,
Who wore a purple sweater,
Cried, Clear the track; our sleds ara
good,
But Bobby's sled is better
And down the icy hill he flew,
Like ship, or bird. or breeze.
And whizzing went the fences
And whirring went the trees;
And Bobby thought, This proves it;
How splendid l must look;"
But then he struck rocky place
Down close beside the brook
The sled went on without him,
Like horse that's bound to race,
And Bobby hit a snow drift,
And landed on his face;
His legs stuck up like fenceposts-
/ The round, straight kind, you know;
His nose was full of icicles,
His neck was full of snow
Some one who didn't know him
| Might have said that Bobby cried;
Twas a most unhappy ending
To very snlendid ride;
And Bobby felt like crying;
But a voice within him said,
The Giggle quicks will help you;
! Just call on them instead"
Twas Twink, the biggest Gigglequick,
Who reached him very first;
He hoped about like popcorn,
And seemed about to burst.
Not hurt?" Then call US over"
They shouted from the brook.
And try this thought, now, Bobby:l
How funny l must look"
|
! Why, then, he must look queer
With snowdrift on his stomach
And his cap upon his ear;
| A Gigglequich then shouted
Twas little, Billie Rue:
"Yon can laugh, now, all you fellows,
For he is laughing, too"

THE cHlLDREN's WISHING TOWN
The gate is high and rather wide,
thousand ships have come,
To anchor safely side by side,
From almost every home:
For children steer their ships into
The port of Wishing Town,
Where all their wishes turn out true
Before the sun goes down.
If we should visit Wishing Town.
i We'd see winding street,
And hear the noisy clatter
OF thousand children's feet,
That patter. patter as they run
And hurry everywhere;
To hunt for wishes there.
To make the wishes turn out true,
Folks let them have the keys
To open things, and they can do
J, Exactly as they please
The guardsmen smile indulgently,
The people never frown,
/ For everything is free within
D The gates of Wishing Town.
+ Some wishes lie on closet shelves,
S Some lie upon the floor.
So children all may help themselves
Then go and hunt for more.
It Some children simply like to see
Their wishes in row:
ii Then they can take more easily
s The incest ones you know.
Sometimes it's hard to choose just
II right
a wish of any kind,
n For almost anybody might
d Leave better ones behind.
&And so it's best to take lot,
e Just as the wishes come,
ID Because it's late, and we have got
L TO sail away for home.
