The lattsr, by the way, although the War prevented him from obtaining the advantages that his younger brothers afterwards had, is a man of uncommon strength of mind and thoroughly informed.

Sunday school treats must come round offener in England than In the United States, for the dean of llrlstol has in cluded In his book, "Odds and Ends," many stories of the hold of such fes tivities on the juvenile heart nnd stom ach. The hand of a small boy wavered for an Instant over a plate of eakes before ho took one. "Thanks," ho said, ntter his momentary hesitation, "I'm sure I can manage it if 1 stand up." Another boy, still smaller, who had stuffed systematically, at last turned to his mother and sighed: "Carry me home, mother; but, oh, don't bend mo!" The average boy in Yorkshire knows why he attends these feasts and does not relish being furnished forth scan tily. A solicitous curate approached one who was glowering mysteriously, "llnve you had a good tea?" the curate asked. "No," said the boy, In an aggrieved tone, laying Ids hand on his diaphragm. "It don't, hurt mo yet." DlK-liM it ml Iii: l I.e..

Ho likes tho wnter and carries a toy bal loon in his stomach to keep him from sinking. The duck has only two legs, and they nro set so far back on his running gears by nature that she came purty near missing his body. Some ducks when they get big havo curls on their tolls nnd are called drakes. Drakes don't have to set or hntch, but Just loaf, go swimming and eat. If I was to be h duck, I'd rather be a drnko every time." It WfiN Jant PoMHlble. "I don't understand," said Mrs. Youngmother, "why it is that baby won't go to sleep.
