Dobbin not so Simple aa lie Looked
. One day Deacon Skinner and Tom Red-
nose were leaning over the barnyard
fence, chewing rye straws and talking
about Deacon Skinner's horse, which he
had recently purchased.
"Pretty fair, hey?" said the deacon.
"Pretty fair fur the price I give."
"No good," growled Tom. "Four
white feet and a white nose knocks him
in the head, and gives him to the crows.
Besides, he's simple, got no sense; jes'
look at his eyes."
"Oh, you old rascal!" muttered the
horse, though, of course, they didn't un
derstand him. "I've more sense today
than you have, for I know enough to
keep away from the saloon, and you
don't."
"But," continued Tom, not noticing
the horse's interruption, "there's one
good thing about him he's so dumb and
simple that he won't know enough to run
away, and he has no teeth to bite. lie's
so thin you might make a hat rack of him,
for he'll stand anywhere."
Deacon Skinner felt bad, but did not
know what to do. "Leave him to me,"
said the horse. "Water's the best thing
for him ; he doesn't see much of it."
Making a spring toward the gate, he
pushed it open, and before the astonished
Tom could speak he grabbed him by the
seat of his trousers and lifted him in the
air. The good deacon caught him by the
rope, but he pulled it from him and, run
ning to the duck pond, dropped the kick
ing, struggling Tom into the water.
"Whoa, whoa !" yelled the deacon, run
ning up, panting.
"All right, deacon," said the horse,
"sorry to be impolite to your company,
but there are some men whose manners
need washing." And he trotted back
home contentedly.

Proverb Puzzle.
A well-known proverb is hidden in the
following six sentences, one word of the
proverb being contained in each of the
sentences and appearing in their rightful
order :
We are prone to judge others by our
selves. Do not put oft' until tomorrow that
which should be done today.
Think not evil of others lest ye be
thought evil.
In ye olden time people had a greater
reverence for the truth than they have
today.
Be wise as a serpent, but meek as a
dove.
Let all men be charitably judged.
JLetter JEnig-niu.
My first is in star, but not in moon ;
My second is in sun, but not in noon ;
My third is in candy, but not in eat ;
My fourth is in shoes, but not in feet ;
My fifth is in heart, but not in flutter ;
My sixth is in milk, but not in butter ;
My seventh is in knot, but not in bow ;
My eighth is in fire, but not in glow ;
My whole spells a blessing
To all the world, dear;
And 'tis 'specially loved
At this time of year.
Baking: Papa.
When mamma's baking pies and cakes
She let's me, dont' you know,
Stand close beside and watch her work,
And gives me scraps of dough.
I roll out all the little bits
And cut 'em into shape,
And on top of our big range
I put them on to bake.
I cut my papa out all nice
Wif legs and a tall hat,
And as he cooks he swells all up
And gets most awful fat.
And then there comes a funny change,
Fqr he gets very thin ;
And suddenly almost blows up
Then drops flat on the tin.
And when he comes, my papa dear,
At home at night, you know,
I run and show him to himself
All baked up brown in dough !
