now whenever we think we may try to get back to the right road I'm too lazy and too idle to care to go on where the travelling is hard.
 "'You see, Mrs. Gnome began by spelling me. And I began by letting myself become absolutely idle. We should have started fairly, each of us helping the other. But it has been all one-sided instead.
 "'So I've grown smaller and small CT and she has grown taller and taller. She hasn't grown beautiful, as you might think, because of her unself1sh- ness; no, on the contrary, she is quite a sight. That is because she allowed me to grow small allowed me to be- come spoilt.
 "'She, from the first, caught the fish from the nearby brook, and captured the chickens, and gathered the vege- tables from the farm she started off the edge of the woods. Then she fried the fish and roasted the chickens and boiled the vegetables
 "'Was that the wrong thing to do to them?' asked the boy.
 "'No,' said MT. Gnome, but she should have seen to it that went after the fish, and that I plowed the farm, and that I fed the chickens. Then she could look after the house.
 "Just then Mrs. Gnome put out an enormous tablecloth which she had in her linen chest in the trunk of a tree. After that she put the food on plates of leaves and poured clear water from a spring into shell-like cups.
 "'Pray eat she said.
 "'But won't you eat too? asked the girl. And won't you talk to us"
 "'Talk to you said Mrs. Gnome. T haven't time. It is MT. Gnome who can stop and talk. It's my fault, as he says. I look after the meals and I catch the fish. I even bait the hook myself! When it rains I cover him with blanket of warm leaves and over his head I hold an umbrella I have made of toadstools.
 "'He never has to do anything. It's my fault, as I said before. I have spoilt him, spoilt him so he never grew. But what can I do about it now; alas! alas! It is too late.'
 "And at that moment Mrs Gnome again began to cry and yet Mr. Gnome smiled and didn't seem to be in the least upset because of Mrs Gnome's tears
 You want 1t explained to you. suppose he said, why I do not feel sad over the sight of Mrs Gnome's tears. It is all because I'm so small in every way. have little CT no sym- pathy, I have little or no kindliness, l have little or no mind left for think ing good thoughts. There was a time when I dreamed of being great, but I became too easily spoilt.
 "I wasn't strong enough to grow. I shrunk and shrunk in my body, my mind-everything! And it all came from being too lazy and too fond of myself.
 "'But saying that reminds me of the Journey you must take. I can tell you this much about 1t. You must leave me, of course, leave me here on my soft bed of moss where I am watched over by my hard-working wife, whose hard work I cannot really appreciate.
 "I will stay here and slowly shrink until there is nothing left of me at all.

MISTAKE IN THE LOCATION
Despite Walters Assertion, Traveller Was Convinced They Were in
 the Wrong Room. ...

The late William Dean HowelIs was once said on his return from Anda- tusia:
 The Spaniards, especially the southern Spanfards, have enormous families. Eight children is the aver age, and families of 16 and IT chii-- dren are quiet common.
 But they don't know how 10 raise these children. They take babies OK three or four months travelling witH them. In every hotel and train there are sure to be as many babies as; adults.

Jimmy Clerkenwell and the boy next door were discussing Christmas and Christmas presents.
 They had mentioned most of the ar ticles that they would like to receive themselves, and then the talk turned to the various presents that they should give to other people.
 "What are you going to give your mother for Christmas?" asked Jim- my.
 "Oh, I don't know!" was the reply. "I thought of giving her a paper knife.''
 "A paper knife.'' echoed Jimmy scornfully. What's the good of that?''
 "Well, what are you going to give yours?" questioned Jimmy's friend.
 "Oh," answered the young sage wisely, ''I believe in preparing for war in times of peace. I'm going to give her pair of slippers with soft soles." London Answers.
