Tommy’s lesson.
One day Tommy was playing
when his Uncle Louis came. He
had a very large package for Tom
my. Tommy was very anxious to
find what the package contained.
He was a very selfish little boy.
He followed his uncle into the house
and saw him lay the package down
on the dining room table. His
mother forbad him to look into the
package. She took Tommy’s uncle
out into the garden. Tommy
# watched them leave the house.
Then he stole softly into the din
ing room and started to lift the
package. There wras a clatter of
dishes; his mother's best china plate
fell to the floor and was broken
into a million pieces, this to be
followed by tw’o or three more china
cups and saucers. His mother at
the* far end of the garden did not
hear the noise, so Tommy stole soft
ly out of the house to the front
yard and there he opened the pack
age he wag carrying. It contained
another small package and a bow
and some arrows. The smaller
package '-held 10 large marbles.
Tommy held them in his hand when
somebody came and knocked them
out of his hand, and he only found
two of them. Then he picked up
his bow and arrows and aimed it at
a bird nearby. He hit it, hut a girl
passing by picked it up from the
ground and looked around to see
who had hit it. Tommy was very
much ashamed of himself and hid
l»ehind a bush. Just then he heard
his mother calling. He picked up
his bow and arrows and went into
the house looking shamefaced and
downcast.
His mother punished him for
breaking the dishes and doing
w hat she had told him not to do by
making him j i«-k up the broken
dishes. Then she |o« k his bow and
arrows and gave them to the neigh
bor's hoy.
Tommy never did what his mother
told him not to or broke dishes

One afternoon when we lived on
Madison avenue we had a sh**wer
of raid. The people l.ving /text door
had set out their tub to cat* h the
rain. A friend and I were skating
When the owner came out of the
house and motioned for me to come
over there. I went and what was
my surprise to see a poor little
helpless bird in the tub flopping
and trying to get out. 1 picked it
up in a poee of woolen cloth not
tightly, and put it in the oven. I
th* n went on roller skating. Then
in about five minutes n amma told
us to watch it fly aw y happy and
singing. I was very happy because
I had saved a life small, but at
the same time it made me happy.
This is a true story. Well, goodbye

Tommy’s Clock.
A tick, a tick, a tick, a tock.
What's the name of Tommy's
clock;
He winds it and it ticks away,
Hut never tells the time of day.
A little bell it always rings
Whenever Tommy plays or sings;
It marks the time, now fast, now
slow,
And Tommy knows just how to go.
