GREEDY BOY.
There waB a water-melon
A growin' on a vine
And a little Plckaninnie
A watching all the time.
This Flckaninnie watched it
And toted it away
And ate that water melon
All in a tingle day.
He ate the rind and pieces,
And Aliened it with vim,
And then tht water-melon
Just went and flnibhed him.

THE FLOWERS' TALE.
As Viola was walking in the garden, very
roughly indeed was she walking on the flowers.
Suddenly she heard a voice saying, "If only the
elves had not been driven out, these rough
people would be severely punished for stepping
eo heavily on our sisters." You may well im
agine Viola's surprise at heai ing two roses talk,
ing to each other.
She walked over in the direction of the roses
and she heard a lily say, "Roses, my dears, look
out, here comes the girl who has trodden so
heavily on cowslip, be ready to protect your
rosebuds." Then she heard a morning glory
say to its bud, "Keep close to mama, darlings."
Viola went over to the roses and said, Oh,
dear roses, will you please forgive me, dear
flowers? I have always been careless and rude
to you." The roses were very wise flowers
and when they saw that she had turned a "Now
Leaf," said, "Dear child, we now see you are a
good deal better and gladly will we forgive
you." Viola was very happy to think that the
flowers had forgiven her (for you see Viola did
not know that flowers could talk and feel) Viola
said, "Dear lily, will you forgive me,"
"Gladly," replied lily. But even then Viola
was not satisfied, she wanted to do something
for the flowers, so she said, "Dear flowers, I
want to do something for you, I will end the
Browries' power and bring back the happy
band of fairies that were nice here."

There was no end to the flowers delight.
Viola started for the dark forest and took two
roses (the roses that were ilrst talking had given
there lives to get the kind band back, one for
the King and the other for the Queen). When she
reached the Brownie court she went up to the
throne, she said in a very stern voice, "What
right have you to take a happy band of fairies
from their, sunny home and put them in your
darkest dell." The King answered, "Not until
you find me a home of leaves that her royal high
ness, the Queen, and I shall dine in, will the
fairies be free."
Then the Queen said, "Give me those flow
ers," "Oh, no, dear Queen," said Viola as she
started for her task. And in less than a week
did Viola, having the leaf house done, take the
roses f who by the fairies' magic power had not
wilted) to the Queen and took the King to the
leaf house. Viola, with a light heart, led the
army of Brownies to the cells and out came the
happy fairies who went back to the happy gar
den, their old home.

A mother with her seven children started
away on a journey. After entering the car
the largest child was laid out flat on the seat
and the remaining six sat upon him in a row.
When the Conductor came around to collect the
fares, the mother counted her money. She hand
ed it over, smiled and suavely said : "Sir, the
oldest is under six."

THE CASTAWAY.
(Adapted from the French of Maurice Leblanc)
Chapter II.
Suddenly there was a movement among the
-rowd a young man. followed by two or three
of the bolder sailors, was pushing his way
through towards the beach. Having selected
the staunchest boat they could find, the brave
men said a few cheerful words of farewell, and
deaf to the warnings of their friends, embarked
on their perilous voyage.
The little craft reee and fell, now pointing
nearly straight up toward the sky, now down,
as it were, into a bottomless abyss. Sometimes
it seemed to be climbing the slope of a long hill.
Such a tiny plaything of the elements it looked
and yet in spite of it all, it kept its course to
ward the black speck where the figure was wav
ing. The spectators watched, some standing
up, others on their knees, praying, while every
now and then some of the old people would cross
themselves when an especially terrible blast of
the gale burst on them.
The wind roared, the driving spray stung the
faces of the awe-struck group on the pier. And
suddenly a silence. Yes, it was in the minds of
all, and in spite of wind, tempest and raging
waves there fell, as it were, a great silence, in
which all sounds ceased a silence of death, of
eternity. The boat where was it? Seconds
parsed, minutes passed, but still it did not rise

Into view. The watchers on shore, peering with
straining eyes into the gloom, knew that this
was the end.
But the occupant of the raft was still gesticu
lating. (To be concluded)

An old Kansas citizen who had been hen
pecked all bis life was about to die. His wife
felt it her duty to offer him such consolation as
she might, and said, "John you are about to go,
but I will follow you." "I suppose so, Martha,"
said the old man weakly, "but so far as I am
concerned you needn't be In any blamed hurry
about it."
THE SHEEP
Sheep wand'ring on the plain,
In heavy falling rain.
No sun nor stars in sight,
They cry out for the light.

Self-Loading Rifle.
As its name indicates, this rifle reloads itself, the
recoil of the exploded cartridge doing the work.
This places the complete control of the rifle under
the trigger finger, which permits rapid shooting
with great ease and accuracy. The .351 Caliber
High-Power cartridge, has tremendous killing
power, making it heavy enough for the largest game
