When pa was my age he was glad•' ...
To do just as they told him
He never made his parents sad,
They never had to scold him.'
He never, never disobeyed,
Nor punched his little brother,
And day and bight he always made
Things pleasant for his mother.
When pa was my age he would clean
His shoes when they were mnddy
He never thought his folks were mean
Because they made him study
He always tried his best to be
For goodness Celebrated,
And he was praised by all—but gee!
How pa's degenerated.
A sorrel colt, one pleaBWt day
Ran round and round %Btack of hay
And kicked it's heels and pawed the
land,
And reared and jumped to beat the
band.
The olcler horses stood .acQajii
And swallowed'fodder by the pound,
And gave no notice to the kid
That gaily round the hay stack slid.
I loafed along and murmured, then:
If horses were as mean as men,
Some old, gray work horse, stiff and
sour,
Would jaw that colt for half an hour
Bnt horses have no croaking voieef
To chill the colt that would rejoice.
They simply stand and eat their hay,
Acd so the colt can run and play.
"I venture to assert," said the,
lectarer and he raised his voice in
confidence, "that there is'nt a man
in this audience who has ever done
anything to prevent the destruction
of our forests."
A modest looking man in the back
of the hall stood up.
"Well, apd what means have you
used to prevent the useless waste of
this valuable product of our soil,"
asked the lecturer.
"I-er-I've shot woodpeckers.'' was
the reply.
The manager of a department:

mers and rosetts of red or yellow

pink roses or a blue plume with a
black jet buckel. If artifshels air
still the stile I want a bunch of
grapes or a bird's tale somewhere. I
do not want anything too fansy, but
if jou think a wreath of pansies
would look good why put one on. I
have some good pink ribbon at home
so you need not put on strings."
Little Adelaide was inclined to be
cowardly and her father decided to
have a serious talk with her on the
subject of her foolish fears.
"Papa" she ventured at the close
of bis lecture, "when you see a cow
are'nt you afraid?"
"Why certainly not, Adelaide.
Why should I be?"
"Well when you see a dog are'nt
you afraid then?"
