Good morn ng, sky. that looks so cool
and blue,
Good morning. world. I'm glad live
in you.
And am sure everyone should be
glad to live in such a beautiful world.
Little-Girl was glad that she lived in
it, and so was Big-Boy. Little-Girl
lived i'm low white house that nest
led down in the very center of
lively garden. Her window over
looked the garden. IL was a garden
Of gay blossoms; of sweet grasses
and climbing vines; Of bursting seed
pods and budding leaves. A robin
hoped upon the grass. The humble
bee sang her song:
Rumble, bumble," sang the bee,
Come to the clover with me;
There you shall see where my work
doth lie;
No buster worker than l. than l."
s'why, Bundle Bee, ! didn't know
that you were a worker" said Little
Girl.
IL thought the honey bee that gives
us golden honey was the only busy
bee"
"Bumble, humble, tho I'm humble
And not sung Of like my sister,
/ am useful" sang the humble,

ter"
IL should say she Does" chirped a
tiny voice that seemed to come from
clump of violets.
What was that? Little-Girl was
sure she had heard a voice, but per-
haps it was the rustling of the leaves.
She knew that all old gardens have
voices; that they sang and laughed in
the sushine, and wept on rainy days
and cracked when Jack Frost came
around. And at night she heard the
little fiddling notes of Katydids and
the crickets. And in the morning
bird calls opened her eyes.
"He-ho, he-ho, he-ho!"
Was that bird with its morning
call?
"He-ho, he-ho, he-hol"

Little-Girl. her curls dancing up and
down in her excitement. "0h, look

''why, how do you do" asked the
Little Elf Man, hopping up and down
on one foot, "How do you, and how
do you do. and how do you do again 2"
"What funny little man." said
Little-G and just then the queer
little green man began to sing this
song:
"Oh, am little Elf Man, bold,
And l live by myself meath the
garden mold;
But l grew lonely so / came out
To show Little-Girl and Boy about;
Follow me, follow mel"
And the astonishing little man
turned n somersault into the air, and
landed on leaf where he bounced up
and down as il he had been on see

your trip to the fairyland of Nature,
so follow me, follow mel"
Just then something sounded thru
the air. 1t sounded like the top that
Little-Girl's baby brother set spin
ning-"Hum-hum -hum-um-um-um."
"Bumble, bumble," sang the bee,
"Are you going without me?"
"Have patient, Madame Bundle.
We have another bee in our bonnets
this morning." said the Little Elf

Grattan Grange met in regular
session April l, with over 100 men,
bers present to witness the big trial.
After the regular order of business
the meeting was turned over to the
court. Two jurors being absent, new
ones were drawn in their places. The
attorneys then began proceedings
and after questioning and cross-ex-
aiming witnesses for about two
hours the case was put in the jurors
hands and they were out about five
minutes. The hush that had settled
over the crowd in their absence was
broken when the strained expression
on Mr.. Carpenters face fell with a
bang at their verdict of mot guilty.
Next meeting will be held April 22
with the following program

FLORIDA. THE FURNACE

Lake Worth Herald: Florida is to
the United States what furnace is
&c a home in the North. During ordi4
nary weather Florida can hold its
own and keep comfortable in the
same manner that furnace keeps a
house warm provided the inmates
don't leave the doris open all the
time. When they do, the cold air COM
ing in offsets the heat Of the furnace
and the whole works suffers. There
fore. when every state in the Union
north of Florida leaves the door op-
en- and proceeds to pile snow up In
banks several feet high, thus creating
low temperatures, the "peninsular
state" ordinarily warm, sunny state
in winter, finds the odds too great and
is forced to cease functions for few
days at time. Recently it seemed
that the cold breezes Of the north
made a concentrated attack on Flor
ida. and the mercury went tumbling
to low levels. Every person was un-
comfortable. but there is consolation
in the fact that it has to get warmer
here before the frozen and crippled
north can hope for any Improvement.
New York ii, and has been snow
bound. Boston has been without car
service or any other kind Of service
for weeks. and other cities are ex-
periencing new difficulties this win
ter. Keep these things in mind when
you are about to express dissatisfac'
ton with Florida's climate.

AS PROHIBITION GOES
MARCHING ON

Prohibition closed 177,790 saloons
in this country, and the news columns
of the daily papers bear witness al.
most daily to the widespread effect
of banishing the saloon" says Cap
pers Weekly.
Last week two branches of Chica
go's criminal court were closed fol-
lack Of cases and these judges were
transferred to the civil courts. Chief
Justice Olson reported the number OF
criminal cases had decreased con
stantly since prohibition became eff
fective.
THE same days news chronicled
the resignation of Police Judge Little
at Mineola, N. Y, because prohibition
prevented him from making living.
Since July last year he had not had
single case of drunkenness and on
ly few minor assault cases.
And so prohibition goes marching
on. Nothing can stop it,"
