a lady seated on pOrcn one Sutn-

one Of those Industrious little crea-
lures. the ants, that she would hardly
have credited If she had not observed
1t for herself.
AS she rocked back and forth near
the edge of the porch she noticed
dead caterpillar lying on hill Of sand
below the house. 1t was fat cater
pillar and doubtless in life had been
vivid green color. but now 1t was
faded and rusty looking. Large stones
surrounded the mound of sand, and
presently 1t appeared that there was
another spectator of the caterpillar's
last sleep. A huge ant ran up over
the stones, back and forth, nearer
and nearer. encircling the caterpillar

tour OF inspection. Apparently salts
fed. 1t then disappeared. but. not for
long; it had only been surveying the
outlook lower down. There, In shell

In the sandy clay. Digging-that is
what it was doing.
With eager haste 1t threw mp little
bits Of sand with its legs, and so fast

porch and watched with eager in.

THE cooKIE.LADY.

She is gentle. kind and fair,
And there's silver in her hair,
She has known the touch of sorrow
But the smile Of her is sweet;
And sometimes it seems to. me
That her mission is to be
The gracious cOOkie-lady
To the youngsters Of the street.
All the children in the block
Daily stand beside the crock
Where she keeps the sugar cookies
That the little folks enjoy,
And no morning passes DER
That tapping at her door
Doesn't warn her of the visit
OF a certain little boy.
She has made him feel that he
Has natural right to be
In her kitchen when she's baking
Pies and cakes and ginger breaL
And each night to me he brings
All the pretty. tender things
About little by-gone children
That the cOokie-lady said.
On, uedT, coOkle-iauy SWeet
May you bcautify our street
With your kind and gentle presence
Many more glad years. I pray;
May the skies be bright above you,
AS you've taught our bfhes to love
you &
You will scar their hearts with sor-
If you ever go away.
Life Is strange, and when I scan 1t,
I believe God tries to plan 1t,
So that where he sends his babies,
In that neighborhOod to dwell
One of rare and gracious beauty
Shall abide. whose sweetest duty
Is to be the cOOkie-lady
That the children love so well.

to have the lead. He refuses to
