lost her head about them for some
here else there is a man waiting until
this spring or fall. when he will come

The love of marbles seems to be
common to small boys the world over.
At any rate Richard Maynard knows
they like them in Russia and he has a
beautiful collection to take back with
him when hee goes with his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison Maynard, this
spring. He gave a party Tuesday aft
70 nf
and asked them each to bring a pocket
full of marbles for him to take across
the ocean with him. This marble
shower left him with a collection of
treasures that would delight the heart
of any American boy let alone the lit
tie Russians.
RAMBLING THOUGHTS.
l hear the ding-dong of the engine
bell and l see the crowd standing IN
line at the ticket window and at night
when the train rumbles from the sta
ton 1 see people peeking from screen
ed windows and the shades pulled
halfway down where berths are made
and sleepy eyes gaze out upon the
passing STREETS;
And under the glare of the electric
light I rait a a crossing for the train
10 pass and sort of thrill comes over
me and urges me to be on my way
but as the rear coach of the long train
winds around the squeaking rails and
the lights grow dim in the distant
dark;
I start myself and ramble on into
the country where the fruit blossoms
throw out perfume into the balmy air
and make me sigh and make me for
get and I walk on and the heavens
sprinkled with stars fascinate me and
I wander home and peacefully sleep in
the cool evening;
And I arise in the morning with the
sun beaming into my window and out
in the tree a robin talks and I can't
make out what he says but l think it
is just hint to me that 1 am lucky
and should feel satisfied:
That have a home and a n1ace TO
