IDA

Ida was i'll in the hospital. she
was not very i'll, but still she IA TO
be in the hospital for awhile.
Ida had imagined the hospital would
be a dreadful place with nothing in
1t but medicine. And when she was
told that she would have TO smell
some ether which would make her 60

doctors fixing everything right SO shed

ether might make her feel quite sick.
Some one had told her it would.
But TO her great surprise she enjoyed

was very sweet and quite pleasant,
and the doctors and nurses said she
was splendid the way she took IT,
and that made it SO easy for her to
go to sleep quickly.
When she awoke she had ~bandages
on her legs but she hardly noticed
those, for the hospital was SO differ
ent a place from what. she had i'm
agined.'
In the first place it was filled with
children! Yes, there. were any num-
Der Of children there, and the only
grOwn-ups were the doctors and the
nurses-eXcept on Saturday afternoon,
when all the daddies and the mothers
came to call. Saturday was Il most
exciting day.
There were always presents on Sat,
urday. And everyone shared their
things with each other, which made
it seem as though this could not be
a hospital at all. All through the
week there were so many children
with whom Ida could talk. Such good
times as they did have!
And then, one day, came a great
surprise. At first it frightened Ida,
but when she saw that everyone was
smiling and laughing she knew there
was nothing for her TO be frightened
about. But you'll never be able to
guess what the surprise was, so you'll
have to hear about it right away!
There, in the big ward Of the hos
pital, where there were SO many chill

along swinging his great trunk as

IF l get sick I'll know the place

be jolly and having fun. Yes, I'll

And then some Of the children cried
out with joy. The circus. The cir
Gus is here! The circus has come to
the hospital" And sure enough,
many of the circus people and crea-
lures had come to give a little circus
show to the children.
There was the elephant, and there
were some clowns with their faces all
whitened and such costumes as they
wore!
They did tricks and played jokes,
and were just as funny as they could
be, and there were some little people,
and they sat on the edges of the chill
dren's beds and talked and told stories,
Oh, yes, the circus people gave a
splendid show to the children, for they
had said to themselves: 1.-The children
who are sick cannot come to the cir
cus-let us go to them. And they had
found out where most Of the sick chill

1t was a very exciting day, but Ida
said she would never forget the sur.
prise she had when first she saw the
elephant walk right into the ward. She
had never seen an elephant before, and
TO see an elephant for the first time
is certainly something of a surprise.
And that night, when all the chill.

The breeze from the sea across the
meadows tickled pleasantly the back
OF his head, and sang a soothing song
in the long grass and ragged-robins at
his feet. He was looking forward with
a roseate glow OF anticipation TO the

Thorn Tree Cure for Ills.

The May blossom is the subject Of
some curious superstltions. Both the
black and white thorn are said to be
descended from the thorn Of India,
which, being sprung from lightning, Is

thunderstorm, but possesses many

cording to the Detroit News. The
leaves from it are believed by many
people to be a cure for all cases of in.

900, as a part Of the drive against
rum runners, while the total Civ
en- the customs service was cut
| $712, 000-a reduction declared by
the budget director to be due to de-
creased activities and an estimated
falling off in refunds.
Included in the factors contribut-
ing to the shipping boards reduc-
ton of $6,000,000 were enumerated
improved methods of operation, to,
gether with the consolidation, cur
tailment and reduction in the num-
Der Of trade routes, and an improve
nlent in freight rates.
The budget bureau informed the
president in its report that the net
increase of $50, 100000 in the amount
set aside for the agriculture de-
partment was "due primarily to an
increase from $13,000,000 to $80,000,-
900 for the construction of rural
post roads," There were various
comparatively small increases in
other activities of the department.
More than half Of the $2,288,O00
increase in the allowance for the
Justice department was accounted
for by decision to more than triple
the amount set aside ''for the inves-
tigation and prosecution of war
frauds" The war frauds item in the
budget for the present year amount
ed to but $5O0,000, but in the new
budget it is $1,725,000. The amount
set aside for enforcement of anti
trust laws was increased from $685.
$50 to $228, 900.
A net increase Of $23,OOO,OOO also
was shown for the postoffice de-
partment, but the whole eXpendi-
ture of that department is expected
to be returned to the treasury,
along with a surplus, as a result
of postal revenues. In theory the
postal service always is regarded in
the budget as self-supporting; al
though it has not always been so in
fact. The budget bureau declared
revenues for the fiscal year 1926
f., had been conservatively estimated
at $647, 100000, while the amount to
ba advanced to the department for
expenses is only $637, 376,O 05.
Should these expectations be borne
out, a postal surplus of more than
S10,0O0,000 would be turned back
into the treasury
