This litile poem brings to mind a
one who never came back,
Fourteen years ago there was visiting me a precious rand-child
about 6 years old, the only girl in ihe family and, of course, idolized,
bright and beautiful. The lime came for her in return home and on
the morning of the day she was to leave she came into my room, hug
ging up in her arms three little wax dolls. She brought them to me and
said: "Sweetie, put these away and keep them till 1 come back."
She wailed until she saw me put them in my bureau drawer and cover
them up; then she left me. She never came back. She went in heaven
one day, and our beans were sad, indeed. Those doll babies are just
where she put them. Not for the world would I have moved them.
There they sleep, and like the "little tin soldiers" they wonder and
wait for iheir little mother. God help the mothers who wait for those
linle ones who have promised to "come back afterwhile."
"I'll come back afterwhile," he said
As he tucked his head in his cap of gray,
And muffling his throat with a scarf of red
He lovingly called to his mother tosay,
"I'll come back afterwhile."
"I'll come back afterwhile," he said
To his father who sharpened his skaics that day,
On the old grindstone. Then onward he sped,
Shotuing, "Thanks, I'll give kisses for pay,
I'll come back afterwhile."
"I'll come back afterwhile," he said
To his dog that sounded a lonesome bay,
"Your foot is so sore; you must keep your bed.
If you're good, you may go some other day.
"I'll be back afterwhile."
"I'll come back afterwhile," he said;
But O ! 'tis so long he has been away,
Yet oft-times when skies are with stars o'erspread,
Out of the silence they'll hear him say:
"I'll come back afterwhile."

great drowsiness overcame him
and he lay down in the cart and
went to sleep.
The horse, finding himself free
to do as he warned, promptly kick

away.
When Pat awoke he found no

over the situation a stranger came
up.
"Am I Pat Pooney, or am I

LOST HIS OBJECTIVE.
"Object" drawing has brought
a new anxiety to the schools. In cer
tain districts youngters may be
seen moving schoolward with
hatchets, knives, hammers, chisels
and similar things as materials for
their drawing lessons.
The other day just as one of
these lessons was about to begin,
a small boy was found standing
tearfully at the teacher's desk.
"I've swallowed my ohject," he
explained w ith an alarming gulp,
"What was ii?" asked the teach
er anxiously.
"A banana," replied the would
be artist with a final gulp. Pitts

WHY NOT?
"Madam, you wear too much
false hair. It injures the nerve
centers and fatigues the blood cells
of the brain."
"Young woman, what do you
mean by such inpertinence ?"
"Hoity, toity, now. I'm the
