FOR THE CHILDREN.
Some Nice Tricks Which Might be Played
On the Approaching "April Fool's
Day."
"But how do you fool them?*
asked .\argy.
She was a very little girl-not
six years old--and she looked up to
Edgar. who was twelve, as an ex
tremely wise person.
"You make 'em think things are
different from what they are," said
Edgar. "Only, of course, you d -n't
tell fibs. And when they find otb
they're tricked. you call "April
fool!: It's lots o' fun."
"It must be." said largy, eager
ly. "I mean to try it."
Edgar looked at his sister. Some
war. altho it was -lots o' fun" for
hinm. he did not like to think of
Margy teasing her friends. and
laughing at their disappointlent.
"Oh. you're too little." he said.
\iamma told me one wasn't ever
too 'ittle to help others," Margy
declared. Edgar wAs so puzzled by
this speecn. that he made no further
renark.
When the Wheaton family came
into the dining-room. on the first
of April, 'Mamma was saying: "I
am so tired of that baked apple
every morning, and I con't care
for oragnes any longer. I do wish,
either that it was time for berries,
or that Dr. Mason had not told me
to eat fruit for breakfast."
Margy danced along by her side,
listening and smiling to herself. As
Mrs. Wheaton caught sight of the
table she gave a cry of surprise.
There sat a plate of strawberries
beside her napkin.
"'April fool!" called Margy. "I
bought 'em myself. Mamma, down
to Mr. Snyder's. And you thought
you were going to have baked ap
ples again. April fool!"
The rest-her father and mother,
Jamie and Edgar-looked at each
other over the little girl's innocent
head. "That is a sweet wav-tc
trick one with something nice,"
said Mamma.
"Why, what other way would
there be?" asked Margy. "No
body would do mean things to peo
ple-not on any day in the year."
A merry voice called "April
fool!" after Papa, whose hat and
coat, all neatly brushed, lay upon
the hall-table. And the same cry
followed Edgar's usual search for
-his school books and his finding
them, strapped together. lying be
side his cap. A sprig of geranium
from largy's cherish plant was
pinned upon the lapel of Jamie's
overcoat, and "April fool!" he
heard. as he hurried into it.
Ellen. the second girl, weht out
to the butler's pantry a while later,
and discovered the silver from
breakfast rinsed and dried and laid
in its proper baskets. "April fool !
piped 31argy."
"What are you doing, child?"
inquired1 Miss Wilkinson. opening
her window to question the~ little
girl in the gar(den next (door. Mar
gy looked up brightly:
"'I'm going to April fool the
birds, she said. "with this plate of
crumbs. They don't expect a thling.
you know. They'll be so surpris
Miss Wilkinson gazed down into
the radiant little face:
"You're a good child." she said,
quickly. and shut down the sash.
Margy ran into the house and
told her mother how Miss Wilkin
son had April fooled her: "Because
she never said I was a good child
before."
WVhen the scrubwoman, wvho was
working next door, went home that
night. Miss WVilkinson astonished
.Maria by g'iving' her a basket of
cold pieces : "April fool !" said her
emprloyer. smiling in a grim way.

back benches in the Virgil class be

whom she could depend. They be
haved so well. in fact. that she stop
ped them on their way out of the
room and thanked them for it.
Jamie looked up into her face witt
twinkling eves: *We April fooled
v-ou, didn'.t we ?" he asked.
Jack Watson. who had quarreled
with Edgar. had played a horrid
trick upon him yesterday. The two
sides of the room led the march
from it. on -alternate days. On the
thirty-first of March Jack had im
i proved the opportunity to drop a
decayed apple into Edgar's over
:oat pocket. Edgar was very an
gry. Today Jack had good reason
to look out for something in return.

At noon he ran down-town.
When Jack, very cautiously and
icaring the worst. peered into his
pocket that night, a flush of shamed
surprise crept over his cheeks. He
saw a handful of chocolate-creams.
and a slip of paper that read "April
fool!"
