Sunshine Days.

Sweet little girl with your pretty doll.
Playing there in the street;
Your shrill young voice reaches me in
my room,
/ hear your pattering feet.
And now and then ! must get UP
To see what you are about:
I'm doubtful when you are quiet.
dear.
At ease when you romp and shout
How wish you could always be
Just as you are today;
And that the years to come would find
You ever q child at play.
A child at play with your dolls ana
toys,
And never a worldly care;
All, little girl. the things l wish
For you at your play out there.
1t cannot be, full well I know,
For one must face the truth:
So I would have you make the most
OF childhood hours and youth.
For other years will come. my dear.
And your dolls will be put away;
But would have you keep your heart
The heart of a child at play.

Fighters Young Americans Want to
Know.

What boy or girl is not interested
in history if it is told in a thrilling
way?
Everett T. Tomlinson, that popular
veteran story-teller. has written
about twenty-five stories about boys
who have done something to help
their country maintain her liberty.
These are not the usual well-worn
tales about our great American gen.
erals, admirals and Presidents, of
whom the average boy has heard too
often, and is tired; but set of little
known vet thrilling stories of boys
who never became famous but did
their bit manfully and passed on
into higtory's obscure pages.
All these stories are true, having
been proved and verified, and are
recommended to all young Ameri-
cans. VI. J.

A FEW DONT'S.
FOR CHRISTMAS

Don't court indigestion.
Don't grumble, whatever you do.
Don't half fill the kiddics stocking.
Don't give presents which will be
useless.
Don't forget the mistletoe. Ro-
nance still lives.
Don't forget that it ought to be
Merry Christmas.
Don't deny the little ones idea
about Santa Claus.
Don't worry about unpaid bills-at
any rate until tomorrow.
Don't scott at the lingering super
stitions of the good old days.
Don't for the show of things, buy
presents which you can't afford.
Don't expect too many presents.
Take what you get ard be thankful.
Don't if you get up on your wrong
side, make everybody else miserable.
Don't forget to think at least once
during the day what Christmas really
means.
Don't give a present unless you
want to. Better not give at all than
give insincerely.
Don't forget that the giving of
Christmas boxes, like Charity, should
begin at home.
Don't, if you are a girl, stand un-
der the mistletoe until you see the
right chap coming.
Don't kiss somebody clse's best girl
even though she is under the mistle-
tee. There might be a row.
Don't work on Christmas aav if you
"a avoid it. Il you have to, however,
don't make song about it.
Don't give Johnnie trumpet and
Peter whistle and expect to have a
quiet time. It's unreasonable.
Don't put off buying presents until
the last minute. You'll get better
value and avoid the crush if YOU
shop early.
Don't look panied when somebody
cells fifty year old Christmas story.
That's one eff the unavoidable cir
cumstances of the festive season.
Don't give new song to someone
who doesn't sing, but be still more
seitain that you don't give new soag
TO someone who inagines he can sing.
Don't refrain from giving because
ycu can't afford to give much. The
intrinsic value OF a g1fts> counts for
nothing. 1t is the thought WI, Z.
prompts it that matters.
