I'll Saw So.

I'll Say So.
The centipede's a lucky bug.
We can not but PROFOUND,
Because we find him blessed with legs
Enough to go around.

Come, Winter! You're almost here.
Come, Winter! You bring us cheer;
You bring us fairy flakes of snow,
You bring the CHEEKY fireside glow.
Come, Winter! We've waited long
To hear the biting North Winds song.

IN the days of old, the Lord Of Cal
H LADY decided to build fine castle
for himself and selected as a
suitable spot the top of high hill.
But his wife, the Lady o. GALAXY,
objected
1T will be a very poor place, for
every wind that blows will whistle
around it."
Let them whistle around it If
they will" said the Lord, who was
very obstinate. II do not mind a
breeze!"
II do" said the Lady; II want the
castle built in the vale"
There it shall never stand" de-
clared the Lord of GALAXY, for I'll
build it on the HILL"
Please" said the Lady, give up
the idea of the hill and build in the
beautiful vale below, so sheltered and
safe
Never" said the master; I'll
build where I pleased"
The Lady said no more, and the
Lord began at once to build the cas-
tie on the hill, and was quite proud
of the first days work.
Come and see the beginnings Of
my CASTLE" he called to his wife.
The Lady of GALAXY climbed the
hill with her husband and inspected
the work, but she said little, only
smiled when the Lord sounded the
praises of the hill site.
The next morning strange scene
was observed on the hilltop. All the
stone work was overturned and the
stones were lying here, there and ev-
erywhere.
The Lord of GALAXY was very

abreast of the class. Now, whose
fault is it that you are staying after
school?"
Miss Smith smiled at Billy, and be
could not feel as indignant as he had
felt He was a sensible boy, and he
realized that as she said they were
both victims of his not having known
the lesson. Then it came home to
him that he did not get the lesson be-
cause he did not understand 1t. He
told her that this was the reason, and
she found by questioning that the
thing that he did not understand de-
pended upon lessons that he had had
1t least week ago.
SO Miss Smith went patiently over
the lost lesson, explaining it until he
felt that he now knew the point that
he had missed, and 1t was easy enough
to get the days lesson. Come on,
Bill" shouted one of the boys on the
outside. "Just get up and walk out.
She can't keep you" Billy got up and
went to the window Get out Of
this, you boys" he said. GO on
home and don't dare to call me
again." Then he realized that half
an hour, ago he had felt as his
friends evidently still felt, that he
was being imposed on, but he had
changed his mind, Il beg your par
don," he said as he went back to
his seat. CHOSE boys don't under
stand"
"That is all right" said Miss
Smith; there are lots of things all
of us do not understand" Half an
hour afterward they walked home to-
gether, still talking about the most
interesting lesson Billy had ever had.

cided to have watch set at night in
an effort to detect the destroyer.
The watchmen waited patiently, al
though very uneasily. At last, just
as the midnight bell was sounding,
they saw huge creature shaped
like boar appear and commence
tearing down the masonry.
The watchers were almost para
lyzed with terror. And when the
huge creature, which looked very
black in the moonlight, reared itself
on it's hind legs and in a sepuchral
voice called out, in a kind of chant:
"Callaby Castle, built on the height,

for obstruction of his plans. but was
determined, nevertheless, to proceed
with the building of his castle.
Again were the men set to work
and the stones replaced where they
had stood the day before.
The next morning the hilltop was
again covered with the ruin of the
castle, for not one of the stones
stood where it had been placed.
Again the Lord commanded the
men to rebuild and again the castle
was commenced, but the master de-

"He won't let me-" bewailed Mary

"Uh huh!" exclaimed Mary Ruth,

Gyp wagged his tail in a very

But what caused the Emperor and
his courtiers the greatest surprise
and pleasure was the sight of the
jeweled cross hanging on one OF
the branches, near a blooming rose
The Emperor kept his VOW, and a
beautiful chapel was erected to com
imemorate this event, and the rose
bush lived and f1ourished and grew
until it covered the walls, and every
year thousands of roses blossomed on
the tree.

So the attendants scattered in all
directions, seeking for the cross.
The Emperor himself searched ev-
cry spot of ground over which he had
ridden. and prayed aloud that he
might recover it.
He even vowed that If the cross
was found, he would build church
on the very spot, where the praises
of the Lord o. heaven and earth
could be sounded evermore.
After long and weary search the
Emperor and his attendants all met
at one particular place where. spring

But the Lord of GALAXY had no de-
sire to SO punish them, but ordered
them to build in the vale where the
Lady desired, as heaven was clearly
against the hilltop.
And again the Lady Of GALAXY
smiled, and it is said her favorite
servant, who was very clever actor,
received a large reward, and shortly
after was seen burning what looked
like great, black. shaggy skin, for
which he remarked he had no further
use.
But the Castle of GALAXY was built
in the vale, and there it stands to
this day.
