- W Page Four TXZS CAUCASIAN Thursday. March 12,. 191X ! The me Cot rner GRANDPA. My grandr nay (hat he wu once A little boy like me; I e'pose he was; anJ yet It d o- Seem queer to think that he Could ever get my Jacket on. Or ahoea, or like to play With (tamci and toy, and race with Duke A 1 do every day. He's come to visit us, you see; Nurse says I must be food And mind my manners, as a child With such a grandpa should. For r rand pa Is straight and tall. And very dignified; He knows most all there is to know. And other things beside. So, though my grandpa knows so much, I thought that maybe boys Were things he hadn't studied. They make such awful noise. But when I asked at dinner for Another piece of pie, I thought I saw a twinkle In The corner of his eye. Bo yesterday, when they went out And left us two alone, I was not quite so much surprised To find how nice he'd grown. You hould have seen us romp and run! My! how I almost see That perhaps he was, long, long ago, A little boy like me. Unidentified. THE BOY" WHO WOULDN'T FIGHT. The little boys In class-room No. 4 thought the noon recess would never come. Their copper-toed shoes scrap- ed the bare floor, until Miss Edith felt like jumping out of the third-story window to get rid of the sound. But at last the big gong struck twelve, and at the signal twenty-five children tumbled down the steep steps into the paved court behind the school building. The school was so big and the playground so small that the rooms took their recess by turns. It was No. 4's sturn at twelve. And now you will see why they have been so eager to get out; there Is a new scholar to-day, and they want to "size him up," as boys say. "Where are you In arithmetic?" asks one. "Partial payments," replies the new-comer, promptly. He has been using his ears in the class-room, and he knows his arith metic will give him rank among these new comrades. "How many blades has your knife got?" "Four." The new boy's head is still up as he produces a beauty of a knife. "Whew!" whistles round the crowd. This beats partial payments out of sight. "Let's have a fight now," says the stoutest little rascal of the party, and this is the supreme test in No. 4. a boy who can do partial payments, has a four-bladed knife, and will fight, can take any place he wants among them. There is a dead silence for an In stant. The stranger's face gets red, his eyes flash; but he stuffs his hands in his pockets, and says, with an effort: "I don't fight." Did you ever see a gay-colored lit tle balloon floating in the sunshine above your head, so light, so buoy ant, you think it could touch the clouds? But a tiny little rift appears, and the balloon is a piece of shriveled rubber at your feet. That was just the way with the new boy of No. 4 when he refused to fight. Partial payments went for nothing; a four blader didn't count. He was a scorn and a by-word. A week has passed by, and It is noon recess again. Miss Edith sits at the window, pretending to eat her luncheon; but she has forgotten her sandwich and jelly cake. "What am I going to do about Charley Graves?" she says to herself. "I can't let him fight, and yet" Suddenly the noise of battle comes up from the paved court. The teach er looks out of the window; but, see ing only a confused mass of tossing arms and legs, and hearing only a sound as of Kilkenny cats on the war path, she rings her bell sharply and recess comes to a sudden end. Up comes the panting, dusty crowd. "But what is this?" she cries, for the new boy's lip is bleeding, and his forehead is swelling visibly. "I thought you wouldn't fight." "I promised my mother," said the hero, proudly, "that I would never fieht unless Iwas obliged to; but when Micky twists little Tom Poa n ue's arm. and won t stop. I am obliged to!" Miss Edith bound his head with a wet handkerchief, and stuck his lips up with pink court-plaster, and tried to look sorry; but it was easy to see that she was pleased with her new boy's idea of when he was obliged to fight not when twenty-four boys were looking black at him, but when a boy twice his size was teasing a little one! Elizabeth P. Allan, in Presbyterian. THE REVERENT YOUNG QUEEN. It was a very warm midsummer Sunday morning; and, although ev ery window of the little wayside chapel was open, there was not a breath of air stirring, save that which was aroused by the continual aud energetic t movement of many palm-leaf fans'. Through the open - - - 1- . shade on tbei windows the maple green hillside ehone invitingly, and Phil Lawrence envied the sheep grax-j ing beneath the trees, and breaking t,he drowsy stillness by the faint tin kle of their bells. Oh, would old Dr. Lacey ever end his sermon? and were father and mother as much in terested as they appeared, sitting so properly upright, looking straight at the speaker father in his black broadcloth' and standing collar; mother In her lilac silk and lace bon net? Once more the lad counted all the railings of the altar and the panes of glass in the windows. In order to complete this latter count, he was obliged to look around to ward the rear of the church; and ihere in the very last pew,; he recog nized his older brother. Bob, and his cousins, Ben and Sue Nelson, and a neighbor, Edith Holt. They seemed to be paying no attention whatever to the sermon. In fact, they were whispering and smiling and scrlb- bling notes ) Phil, was gazing at them in sur- prise, when Bob. overcome by some very amazing message which Ben had scribbled to him, uttered an audible rwltfPr which railed th minister to ,ook over his spectacles at the mis- creant, and all the congregation to turn in their pews to see whence the noise had come. Poor Bob showed immediately that he was the guilty one, for his face was flushed with shame, and his companions looked mft.f fnvin SAAUOW UUVV AAA J. V A LCtlSlC lUUi At last the minister pronounced the welcome words: "In conclusion, let us sing," and after awhile the services were over; but it was not yet time to go home, however hun gry a boy might be, for all the con gregation must stop to exchange greetings, or extend invitations, or Inquire about absent members; and the exit from the church was indeed slow and leisurely. But finally all the family, Includ ing Ben and Sue, who were to spend the day with Bob, were seated in the old barouche, and Gold Dust and Sorrel Sam were trotting eagerly down the shaded road, homeward. "You children must sit up in our pew after this," said Mr. Lawrence to Bob, as the carriage passed out the churchyard gates. "Of all things I dislike irreverence, and I won't tol erate misbehavior in church." "But, father, I could not help laughing," Bob defended himself, and it's so stupid having to sit up there in front, for Dr. Lacey's ser- mons are so long. Back next to tne door it's cooler; and all the other boys and girls of my age sit back ttl6r6. I "I've no objection to your sitting ( back there so lone as vou behave yourself in a proper, reverent ner," said Mr. Lawrence. "But you disturbed the services this morning, and that must never happen again." "But, father, it's so hard to sit per fectly still all the time; and I'm not Phil's age, you know; so I don't like to sit up there with the infants. I've long ago outgrown them, yo uknow," Bob protested. "You can never outgrow your duty to your training; ana irreverence is, m . f one of the surest signs of ill-breed-: irnr." Mr. Txawrence renlied. o - a jj ni 'wmw- Taw- - .-r. t 'My. dear' Bob's mother's gentle count of the impression that they re voice observed from the back seat,!quire little or no water, when given "I know it's hard to sit still for a' this treatment during the summer. long while when one is active and growing, but you must not get the and this showering should be thor idea that you have outgrown rever- ough. Apply water at night, or af- ence. it is more your auty to Denave yourself in church than it is little Phil's, for you are older than he, and your example counts more. Then, too, you are put upon your honor in being allowed to occupy those rearj pews. We are trusting you to be rev-: erent. Indeed, reverence is charac teristic of the truest greatness. I am reminded of a beautiful story of Queen Victoria. She was just a slip of a girl when she was crowned queen of all Great Britain. But, what pomp and what splendor at- tended the greatest event in ail her, country, the coronation of the lovely' young queen! Before the great event took place, the timid young girl, who, after all, was quite like other girls of her own age, was very thoroughly instructed as to just what she should and should not do on this occasion. At the close of the corona - tion, that wonderful masterpiece of mr takes a shampoo it doesn't pay music, Handel's Messiah, was to ba to shave or hair-cut. Poor Jim, I sung by a great chorus of finely- caught him trying to cut a customer's trained voices. All the listeners, throat because he refused a shampoo, save the queen, were to arise and so 1 nad to ave the poor fellow bow their heads during the chorus; locked up. Makes me sad. Some but she, as a mark of her superiority times I feel sorry I didn't let him to all present, was to remain seated slash all he wanted to. It might unon her majestic throne. The have saved nis reason. Shampoo, young girl listened attentively to all that was told her, and learned well her most important part of this most important occasion, and all went well. She very graciously carried OUt her part; but at last the wonder- fnl rhnriin rPrn The beantifullv- rui cnorus oegan. ine oeanuzuiiy trained, BOUlful voices carried the words of heavenly praise high upon the air and filled the great audito- rlum. AH the listeners arose, and; I men u was mat the young ?aeen de-f parted from the lesson which had been taught her, to remember an; earlier lesson of her childhood, that! of reverence. Almost before those who bad trained her for the occa- ! slon realized it, she had arisen, and. j clasping her handy, in devotion upon i t her breaa. she bowed her head In! reverence. She was a child of the ; (Great King of Kings, which was a greater honor than to be queen of! Great Britain; so she stood with her i op,e ln humble reverence. This act; was newsea mrougnoui me iana; in : fact, over all the wide world; and is j still being told in remembrance of England's greatest and most beloved queen. She lost none of the respect of her people by her reverence; rath er, she gained more of their love. Reverence is a quality without which no nature can be really fine." "O, mother, that was a beautiful story of the queen. I've always loved to hear of her," Bob said, as his mother paused. Then he added re flectively: "I reckon there's plenty of time for whispering and writing notes outside of church." Baptist Boys and Girls. HINTS TO THE AMATEUR.

And remember that no bed ever looks at its best unless all weeds are kept down. Weeds don't belong in flower beds, and the presence of them is a standing testimony of neglect on the part of the owner of the garden. Keep the ground light, open and mellow. Some seem to think it un safe to hoe among plants in dry sea sons, fearing that the soil will dry out so rapidly as to injure the plants. Not so. A light, open soil absorbs all the moisture that comes, while a baked, hard condition of the surface of the soil prevents such absorp tion.
