other little lambs and their mothers.
But Farmer Jones had taken those
two for his very own. He said that
when they grew into big sheep he
should keep their wool for himself.
All summer Babe and Pet scampered
and chased each other in the meadow
until winter came and they had to
be taken into the barn for the cold
weather.
Gas the days grew colder and cold
er, Farmer Jones watched over his
sheep: he filled their racks with hay
and watched the troughs to see that
each one had enough fresh water, for
in the spring they were all to be
sheared, so that their wool might
make warm clothes for some boy or
girl.
Zone lovely spring morning the
sheep were all taken to the river to
have good bath before they were
sheared, so that their wool might be
white as snow before it was cut.
Babe and Pet followed the other sheep
to the water and there waited to be
sheared, for they too, wanted to give
their wool to some girl or boy.
Farmer Jones had visitor. She said
she was soon to make a visit to the
city to see girl and boy who never
had chance to see lambs and sheep.
How they would love to see Babe
and Pet!' she said
"I think 1 should like to send them
little present. said Farmer Jones,
and I will send the wool of Babe and
Pet off to the factory to have it made
into yarn. Then I will send it to you,
and you can knit something for
them"
By the time Aunt Josephine had
got thus far in her story Harold and
Mary began to guess who that visitor
was. and to realize that their mittens
and reins came from the wool of Babe
| and Pet.
$50 we must all learn to be more
careful of our gifts,' Aunt Josephine
said. ''for Babe and Pet would be so
sorry to know that their kindness
had been wasted, and Farmer Jones
would be so grieved to learn that all
his thoughtfulness-'
Just then the doorbell gave very
loud ring-then another loud ring
Someone was at the door with small
brown thing in his hand. A school,
mate of Mary's had found the love

A little later bedtime came, and
soon the children were sound asleep
dreaming of Farmer Jones and his
pet lambs.

THE CHlLDREN'S HOUR.
THE LOVE MITTENS.

Aunt Josephine is coming! Good!
Good!' exclaimed Mary and Harold
when the postman brought the letter.
"She always tells. us lovely stories
out of her mouth said Harold. Be
sides, Aunt Josephine lived in the
country, with the COWS and the hens
and the sheep, and her stories were
truly stories"
The children could hardly wait I'M
til the time for Aunt Josephine's
train, and when she arrived at last
how eagerly they watched her While
she unpacked her trunk!
To Mary she brought a pair OF
warm brown mittens that she had
made herself. AS she handed them
to Mary she said: with every stitch
auntie knitted in thoughts of love, and
wondered where Mary would wear
these mittens, and thought how care.

knitting them" she said, II gathered
the colors of the rainbow-red
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and
violet-so that the boys might be re
minded of the beautiful colors that
the sunshine has given us to enjoy
The next morning was cold and
crisp. Mary begged to wear her new
mittens to school. Mother told hel
that she could wear them, but that
she must be more careful not to lose
them. Mary meant to be careful, OF
course, but she was so eager to gel
home and see Aunt Josephine that in
some way she lost one of the mittens
on the way. She came in crying as
if her heart would break. She was
surely like the naughty kitten who
lost her mitten and could not have
any pie! What if Aunt Josephine
should not tell story tonight?
After supper, however, Aunt Jose
phine said, Nov we will go upstairs
for the story" and Mary and Harold
went up two steps at time. Not a
word did Aunt Josephine say about
the lost mitten = much to Mary's
great relief; and they sat on the fool
at her feet before the warm fire as
she began with the magic words

FIRST NATIONAL BANK.

Water that has passed over the mill
wheel will never return again and
neither will the money that one spends
daily or weekly ever return. 1t is i'm
portant therefore, to lay up reserve
for that rainy day or for old age when
ones earning power gradually disap-
pears. The most practical way to pro-
vide for such a time is by systematic
saving. This habit can be best and
quickest acquired through opening of
a savings account in the First Ma
tional Bank of this city. One dollar
will open such an account and you
will find that the officers of the bank
will stand ready at all times to advise
you upon any financial problems that
may come.
