The third quarterly bulletin for the year, COM
piled and issued by the commissioner of agricul-
ture, Hon. w. A. McRae, has come out in
and attractive dress. Printed on heavy book pa
per, and deliberately illustrated the pamphlet

When asked about the circulation of the vol

commercial organizations throughout the state
had furnished names and addresses of those in
quiring about the various sections and that from
the list thus compiled than 1000 copies
would be mailed to people outside of the state.

only two persons stirring IN that part
of London at that hour-the duke and
a cobbler commencing his days work.
They always greeted each other.
Good night, friend,'' said the duke.

read upon 1t these words written in
large letters:
Hospitality we love to show;
So stop and rest ere forward you CO."
The night-watchman had explained
that the letters even stood out as he
waved it about in the night for the
lights from the hotel knew just how
to shine upon it.
They finished very fine banquet
when Sir Hearty Cordiality said to
the newcomers, "Now you may rest,
for you surely want that more than
anything. 1t is pleasure to have you
here. Goodnight"
Then he turned to the boy and girl.
GAS you like to see things and as
neither Of you look tired or sleepy,
though suppose you should, would
you care to accept the brownies invi-
tation to see over the hotelY'
OF course the boy and the girl did
want to see all over and they went off
with brownie after they had wished
Sir Hearty Cordiality, good nights
rest and had thanked him for his
kindness. He had given them each
a hand shake which had been quite
wonderful. The boy pnd the girl
spoke to each other about it as they
were waiting for the brownie to get
the keys.
"He just shook hands as If he really
and truly were so glad to see u.s." said
the girl. TT made me feel so happy!"
Just then the little brownie came
along with many keys.
"It's not" she said, shat we keep
anything locked up here. Everything
is open for all of us, and everyone
who really wants the keys can have
them. But wanted to explain to you
how in the first place Of all, creatures
who come to the Hospitality hotel and
those who wish to take away photo
graph of Sir Hearty Cordiallty can
do So"
"Oh," said the boy, 1--WE forgot all
about thanking him for the meals that
were sent to us from here when we
were on our journey"
"T'll tell him about 1t and all the
rest too," said the brownie.
"But come, we must look around
for really 1t is, late, very late, and
you must 90 journeying again tomor-
row. Aa.t5 ,aG.
The brownie took them through
many rooms and through great halls.
She showed them views from high
towers and she showed them the great

ANOTHER HOSPITALITY STORY.

"Of course" said the night-watch-
man of the Hospitality hotel, ''you
knew you were coming here" He
spoke to the boy and girl adventur-
ers who were on their way to the
House of Secrets. There they would
learn that all the Secrets helped each
other and that the great one of all was
the Secret of Brotherhood. Without
playing fair with everyone else no one
could be success, and no one who
thought only of himself or herself
could be Success--whether that per-
son was old or young or middle-aged.
'You were told about this place be-
fore you came here with Master
Thoughtfulness, but the people from
outside made come in did not know
about US. They were passing and we're
tired and weary. They had had long
journey, but they didn't want to both
er us. .t',
"They looked at the many lights,
but they said they were feeling tired
and only wanted to know where they
could have their supper and then
nights rest.
81 had hard time telling them that
the Hospitality hotel wasn't only for
folks who were not weary. Gracious,
Sir Hearty Cordiality, as, inn keeper,
or hotel keeper, and myself as the
night-watchman, could never endure
having place where only those who
felt entertaining and bright could
come. That would be selfish Of us,
and we don't like selfishness. We
really, really don't"
He shook his head hard as he said
this.
The boy and the girl looked at the
night-watchman's night-stick which
had surprised them so! They had no
idea that his night-stick would be any
thing but stout stick to beat bur-
