"1 would think r.td think until 1
thought of something," replied Sis
ter Emma, half closing her hook to
take n look at her little sl.ster.
"And if you could not think ? "
"I would ask every one 1 met until
I found something."
Lina began to smile. "I'll begin
with you, sister."
Sister Emma dropped her hook,
and laughed merrily. "Wise little
maid," sho saiJ.o
Then she took Lina on her lap
ind they talked it all over. Talked
over what? Why, Ltna's party.
Mamma had told her (liat'aho might
bave a Georgo Washington party.
The next day a box was spied on
tho hall table with "Washington" in
large letters on it. Each member of
tho family was asked to put In an
*, Idea for a Washington party.
?# Bertram* Lima's brother, thought
of something so funny that h3 hud
to kick off his shoes and dance a jig
bofore ho wrote It. It was Just one
words, "Hatchets."
Johnny could not think of any
thing, so he looked In the box. When
he saw "Hatchets," he wrote, "Cher
ry-trees," for he thought cherry
trees would ho as good for a party ns
hatchets.
Phil looked In. ar.J said, "Pooh!
I can do better than that," and ho
wrote, "Orange Pudding." ?
Mamma looked In, and she said,
"Whoever could make a parly out of
hatchets and chcrry-trees? Orange
pudding- though, is a good idea. 1
will make tho pudding." So' mamma
wroto that.
Papa looked In. And ho wroto,
"Nuts and Goodies."
Sister came last niul she wrote,
"A Thinking-cap."
Then Lina opened the box nnd Sis
ter Emma matched the Ideas together
and mado a party of thorn. -
When the 1 iti Jo fi-Jcmls arrived on
tho afterpoon of (he 22d of February
tho box stood on tho hull table, nnd
Johnnio stood jcelde It, with a red
path tlod over his white blouse, look
ing vory giy. Ho Invited each guest
to put his hand Into tho box nnd take
out what ho found.
Goorgo Washington himself, Dor
tram, stood Just Inside tho door, and
showed -:ach guest to seat.
Wht . " opened the parcels each
found thAi he held la his hand a
hatchet. Sor.:e were red. somo white
' and flome'blue.
Then Sister Emma. Lady Washlng

six trees on the wall, and 0110 wua a
cherry-tree, and the first one who dis
covered It would have the first chance
to use his hatchet on It.
Roy Gardner found It first. Lady
Washington tied haudk-crchlef nvor

tree.
Hoy walked off bravely, chopping
right and left wllh his pasteboard
hatchet,, and pinned It up on the oth
.er side of the room. You may be Bure
there wa3 a merry laugh over that.
Dolly Dean did a great deal better,
for she only left It in the top of the
tree.
Willie, Dolly's brotl^r, said he
knew ho could hit the right place, but
ho hung it on the root?.
Annlo Mable placed it exactly. "I
saw that It wrh Just so high, right in
front of mo," Anr.io explained, "and
when Lady Washington turned tno
n round throe times, I said to myself,
It is juct so high, right in (rout of
me. and it was.' "
After that they played hide the
hatchet, and ohnse the hatchet, until
every one was glad to sit down and
epell the hatchet. Willie Dean spelled
more words than any one elce. Willie
was a good speller.
Then Lady Washington said they
might match hatchets by the numbers
on them. That wns fun!
Two by two they marched out to
supper, Hinging "Yankee Doodle,"
with their hatchets pined to their
shoulders. ? t. .

An Apostrophe by Daniel Webster.
? Tlmt. name was of power to rally a
nation la tho hour of thick-thronging
public disasters and calamities; that
name shone, amid tho storm of war,
a beacon to' light, to cheer and guide
tho country's friends; It flamed, too,
like a meteor, to repel her fooa. That
name, In the days of peace, was a
loadstone, attracting to itself a. whole
people's confidence, a whole people's
love, and the whole world's respect.
That name, descending with all time,
spreading over the whole earth, and
uttered In all tho languages belong
ing to the tribes and races of men,
will forever be pronounced with af
fectionate gratitude by every one In
whose breast there shall erise /in as
piration for human rights and human
liberty.? Daniel Webster.
Cnlhoun on Washington.
His great fame rests on the solid
foundation that while ho was careful
to avoid doing wrong to others, he
was prompt and decided In repelling
wrong. ? John C. Calhoun.
