Long ago there lived a very, very poor family, they had only one child Her name was Francis Belle.
 The only way they could live was for the whole family to work. If one of them failed they did not get any thing to eat until they worked again. Poor little Francis Belle. could hardly she did not get any rest until sine went to bed, neither did she get to play.
 One beautiful day she was hoeing corn and crow came flying by,
 She said, Black Crow what are you doing in my field?"
 He said, T have come for miles to bring a poor honest girl good mess age.''
 She cried out. T am the one; what can the message be?''
 He said, If you will go to the narest city and tell the King your situation, he will give you job that will satisfy you better than this.'
 She went home and told her parents what the crow told her; they grant ed her permission to go.
 After some hours of hard walking she came to the city. She went to the king and told him all about her hard times. He gave her job wash ing dishes for s4 week and her board. She was very much overjoyed with her job.
 In few months she began to get better acquainted and was liked by every one.
 In about a year she was getting about $2c week for receiving guests for the Kings palace.

When on the ocean about three weeks. he saw land and shouted Land, land" Not very far off, he saw little house and won dered if 1t was his own little cottage. He got out of the boat and went to the house and saw it was the cottage he had been hunting

This Boy Saued
 Lots of Liues

Andy Moore was a smart, stout boy. with freckled face and rough brown hands. Sometimes he wore a cap and again he did not For he thought his long bushy hair was enough covering for his head.
 One day as Andy was crossing the railroad track. he saw that there was something wrong with 1t. One of the rails seemed out or It's place, ana he had heard of cars being thrown off and people being killed by such things.
 Just then he heard train coming in a far distance. Oh dear! What must he do? There was no one there to stop the train except himself. He must try.
 Andy never thought of any danger to himself; but he ran and stood in the middle of the track, stretching out his arms as far as he could. He waited. on and on the cars came. The engineer saw the boy on the track and whistled at him, but he did not move an inch. The engineer blew again. still he did not move. The man stopped the train called out in an angry voice. What do you mean by standing on the track ?'' Andy only pointed at the broken rail and the man saw how brave the It, tie boy had been.
 Everybody rushed out to see what was the matter They saw that he had saved their lives. Ladies kissed Andy's rough. brown face and cried over him. The men gave him money and said: God bless the brave boy"

"FIowers"

The roses are in bloom. Come smell their sweet perfume. And there Is the hollyhock So nice and bright Turning its blossoms ont to the light. So daintily dressed in pink and
 white. And there the lilies, with blossoms
 of white Poking their heads up to the light. Look at those wild flowers across the
 way. So beautifully tinted in colors gay. And there Is the lilac, SO pale and
 sweet Growing along the side of the street Now let us so see how Our four o'ciocks look; Mother says they look Just like the pictures In a book. Look at them, aren't they pretty
 things With blossoms as bright as fairy
 wings. Now we have seen all the flowers
 around Well go tell mother what we have

The Clock

I often sit and wonder
 About the old, old cieck, wonder how 1t keeps it's song, The old song, tick, tick, tock. It's base is of mahogany made,
 With flowers carved upon it, And dainty maids make flowery
 wFeaths,
 While on the grass they sit. And Peter Pan. with his pipes,
 Will play his merry tune, And also baby Annis
 With her pretty pink balloon. And these are all the carvings,
 Upon the old, old clock. But with all its pretty carvings It keeps it's tick, tick, tock.
 It's all so very strange to mo;
 If I were this old clock, I'd just have to stop one minute, And leave the tick, tick, took. But now I'm getting sleepy.
 And l must so to bed, Good night I bid you, ticking clock. Cause I'm a sleepy head.
