Johnny Whippen wanted a watch on hlB birthday and wanted everybody to know he wanted it. For weeks in advance at breakfast, lunch and dinner he told his father, mother, sisters and brothers how he yearned for the timepiece. His persistent harping on the taatter finally became unbearable to the other j members of the family. When Johnny mentioned the word "watch," they became severely silent. But Johnny kept right on. One evening ho was sitting in the drawing room with his father and concluded it was a good opportunity to do a little lobbying for himself. , "Say, pa." " "Pa" laid down his paper on the table I and looked sternly at the boy over his spectacles. "Now, Johnny, I am going to put my foot down on any more of this watch You are making life a burden for t rest of us. So, if you were intending to at k me about the watch, you had better not say anything further. Don't let me hear the word again." Johnny was repulsed, but not defeated. . It was the custom in the Whippen family for each member to quote a verse of Scripture at family worship each morning, The day following Mr. Whippen's" ultimatum the family met for worship. It was Johnny's turn to quote a versa He waited until he was suro all present, were attentive, and then he slowly repeated with great emphasis the foljpwing verse: "What I say unto you I say unto all, Watch." Johnny wears it in his top vest pookct. ?Buffalo News. A Patient Patient. Flossie's doll was a very patient little , I thing. It never cried or screamed or t made any trouble. It was jnst as content with a bed on the floor as in the crib. One day Flossie thought Dollie was sick, and of oourse she felt very badly about lt? and hardly knew what to do. A happy thought came to her. She dressed hastily and took Dollie to get some medicine. She found Dr. Gay in his office, but all ready to ride out. He gave her some medicine and , promised to call and see her. Flossie waa very glad for his cheering words and the medicine. Dollie was soon better and has hot needed any medicine since.?Our Little Folks' Magazine. A Strange Pet. Perhaps the strangest pet ever kept by a man was a wasp which- Sir John Lubbook caught in the Pyrenees and resolved to tame. He began by teaching it to take its meals on his hand, and in a very short pace of time it grew to expect to be fed in that way. Sir John preserved this pet with the greatest care. True, it stung him once, but then it had every excuse for do ? 1-1. Ji. 1.11. mg so. air jonn was examining it waua on a railway Journey, and, the door being opened by a ticket collector, he unceremoniously stuffed it into a bottle, and the outraged Spaniard, not feeling quite .at home during the process, gave him a gentle reminder as to the proper way to treat a guest. ; . A Great Hearted Little Man. There is an 8-year-old boy in Emporia with a heart in him as big as a man's, says a Kansas exchange. Observing for successive days another boy 6 years old carrying big bur dies of clothes, which his mother washed in order to earn a support for him and her, an. idea struok him that a nice little red wagon would lighten his burden. So he want among his friends and collected $1.60 in nickels, and with this he bought the little wagon and gave it to the washerwoman's boy for a Christmas gift. ? The Robk'i Red Breast.

The words were low and plea ing, the voioe very tender and true, b the girl oa whose dainty ears they fi threw the beautiful head a little farth back and laughed out her half vexed, he defiant answer. "When you are on the road to suooei Gerard, I'll marry you at once, if It I soon, for I can't wait forever, bnt as y< don't apparently wiBh for suocess. then"' with a lovely, willful smile and the pret est of petulant moues?"goodby!" The man listened, his handsome fa turning white, as if carved in stone. "Success with you is only another bu for"? "Money," the girl interrupted, wil that lovely light laugh again. "I knc It, Gerard, and despise me for it if y< will. If you had been brought up In po erty, If you had wanted frocks and pret shoes and dances and pleasures of eve kind?and, oh, thousands of things th you oouldn't get?then you, too, wou spell suocess with an M?a very big Mand oall it money 1 You would, I kno you would," she ended bitterly. The man sighed heavily. Fate was 1 deed against him now, and hi? caret light and hopeful a* it looked a short tic ago, seemed sadly dull aDd somber noi and why? Because of that lovely face th was turned away from him so petwlantl because of the mocking words that f< like little strokes of a whip across his lo log heart. And while he thought ti music in the distanoe ceased its soft thro bing, the dance was over, and he had hi his answer, he supposed. He would say one more thing befo they parted, he determined suddenly. I would have at any rate a dear understan Ing with the woman he loved so zuadl And after that then the venture?to ti right or to the left 1 He put out his hand to stay her as si would have risen. "I want to ask y< one thing more," he said, so gently th ber wandering attention wu nxea on m onoe again. "If I went Into the business, my t ther's business, whioh, aa you know, bate?if I gave up my dreams of the b and''a life whioh I should love?a 11 whlob would be poor perhaps, but full' promise?if I bad the prospect of suooe lit the business of whioh you speak so big ly, what then?" She turned to him with a new Ug) sparkling in her beautiful eyes. Had si oonquered at last?everything, every hop every ambidon at ber feet? "Then," she said, her voloe tender wil feeling and her soft eyelids drooping a bo the brilliant eyes, "then I should say i more."

And all of a sudden he felt very we* and tired?tired of the lights and thesow of the great banks of roses that his wl had ordered tbe skillful florist to arranj ?tired of the musio and the faoes ai the crowd, and he slipped away unnotio to his quiet study and sat there awhile dream.
