MISSED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
I miss you dear in the springtime when
Iho willows blossom whitcly
When die sloe boughs bloom and bour
geon and the blackbirds build ami
sing
iWhen over the sky of azure the white
fringed clouds pass lightly
When violets wake in the woodlands
nd the corn blades freshly spring
But I miss you too in summer when the
waves break on the shingle
When the languid lilies perfume is
waft oil upon the breeze
iTien creamy and pink ami fragrant the
roses nod in the dingle
When the kingcups turn the meadows
to glistening and golden seas
And I miss you more in autumn when in
nisi ling corn 15 elds yellow
ReajK rs sing their lays of gladness
when the plovers loudly call
When the woods are gold emblazoned and
rhe apple orchards mellow
And the bramble red and purple where
the ripened berries fall
But most of all T mss you when the snow
flakes white are Hying
When the days are dark and dreary and
the nights are long and drear
When through leafless forest branches
winds are sadly sobbing sighing
Then it is I think I miss you oh the
most of all my dear

THE SAHIBS GOODS
1 un the bearer My master is an
English sahib and not country bum
like many who live in the cilA Avhere
fore he trusts in me and I govern his
household Further he is not close
listed but leaves his money lying
about so that it is ready to 1113- hjuid
Truly lie is a master in every -way to
he desired for does he not know good
tobacco from bad and smoke those
cigars that I myself most approve ofV
I speak openly for this -whereof I -write
will never meet the sahibs eyes Who
is it that sews up the holes in the sa
hibs socks -when they -want mending
but IV Who is it that holds the sahibs
heul first on one side and then on the
other side when through exceeding
slot hf illness he lies in bad and lets the
tbarber shave him All these things--and
more do 1 do I am the sahibs
right hand without me can he do noth
ing
Certainly it is true that the sahib
sometimes calls me evil names but
that is only when the money runs
short by reason of the many heavy ex
penses I have had to meet in mine own
household But though be is a good
-master there are some tilings I cannot
approve of in him for what bearer ea11
look with a favorable eye upon the
young sahibs whom he honors with his
friensdhip Are they not as roaring
lions and is not their presence to he
mistrusted in any house V Truly they
have been whelped in wickedness and
have delighted in rascally conduct
from their youth upward Do I not
remember the day when four of them
entered during the sahibs absence
and having thrust me aside did they
not do many strange things ro the fur
niture and to the sahibs most private
goods Then having written a letter
and pasted it upon the door they took
their departure And when tihe sahib
returned which was before 1 could ar
range the house jus I approved of he
was on the point of heating me for the
confusion which prevailed on every
hand but before he could do so his eye
fell upon the letter the young sahibs
had left pasted on the door and then
he laughed and said that this was
anarching order Such is the way 1
a 111 vexed by the sahibs friends
I say these few things that all men
may know how I stand and that they
may see how hardly 1 have been
treated
It was one evening shortly after our
return from the hills and just before
the approach of the winter that the
Presence called to me and having
told me that he was going to eat din
ner at the magistrate sahibs house aud
would not be back before midnight he
Shade me sit in the veranda and await
his return Now the khansama the
Iniflen was that very evening enter
taining many friends in the babbourchi
khana whkh is the cooking house so
having reflected that the sahib was
-thoughtless and therefore could not uu
derstand that the voranda was not a
pleasant place to sit in after the fall of
the night I closed all the doors care
fully and having exhorted the chow
kidhar to keep strict watt h lest thieves
should pass that way and steal what
-they listtd I wended my way to the
bablxmrehi khana Truly we Avere a
anerry company and had many things
o say to each other as we smoked our
hookahs and ate such sweets as the
buiuiia the grocer had sent around as
a reward for our having been silent
on the matter of the short weight and
the inferior quality of rhe irtieles with
which he supplied the sahib Then
suddenly m the midst of the converse
there came to our eirs from over the
mud wall cf the compound the sound
of tamtams and of much shouting and
ringing and as we looked forth we saw
that it was a marriage procession and
that there was a great crowd and the
glare of many torches
Now 1 recoPerted that this must le
the marriage of oneKhudahBux whose
another lipd sewn th wedding gar
T V t v - v Vs r -d
worn theteioiv having looked to see
that the chowdikhar was diligent in
his watch I inviicd the khansama and
his friends ami together we went to
the bridegrooms house Ah it was
-open house and such was the liberal
ity that prevailed that we stayed until
about half an hour of the time of the
sahibs expected return But as we
turned to leave 1 noticed a man hiding
away in a dark corner as if he shunned
our sight wherefore 1 haled him forth
and behold it was the chowkidhar
-who had left his post
JKIse up 1 cried seizing him by
r W
the ear in my wrath Am I to be
brought to shame because of your neg
ligence in obeying my commands How
am I to make the sentence light for
you should the sahib return and find
that the house has been left for thieves
to break into Hasten before me and
light the lamp so that all may be
ready on my arrival
So Hussain AH the khansama and 1
walked slowly so that the chowkidhar
might have time to do his work fully
before we came But as we drew near
to the gate behold he cjune running
back to meet us and I saw that he
trembled with fear so that he could
hardly stand
Ai ai I am undone he cried
aloud Would that 1 had died before
this evil day had dawned
Then an unknown fear made my
heart stand still Speak you son of a
dog I cried fiercely speak and lay
bare aU the wickedness that has grown
out of your negligence
Alas what can I say he cried
for truly this is the work of the evil
one How can 1 tell you how the sa
hibs belongings have vanished when
I know not myself but I believe of a
surety that this cant be the work of
no mortal man
I know not how Hussian AH the
khansama and I reached the house
after this but when we got there we
found that everything was as the
chowkidhar had said for the house
lay empty and the sahibs furniture
had gone as if the evil spirits of the
air had come and blown it into nothing
ness with their breath Truly the dog
of a watchman had spoken the truth
when he said that this was the work of
no mortal hand
Cird up your loins 1 said turning
to the chowkidhar run with the speed
of the wind to the houses that lie on
the four sides of the compound and ask
of the servants whether there are any
who know how this evil thing lias come
about perchance you will lind some
one who has stayed at home and not
gone to the marriage
And when the chowkidhar had told
all who dwelt round about how the
sahibs belongings had vanished a
great crowd came running so that in
a minute the house was full But
every man had been to the marriage
feast and no one could tell how this
thing had happened
At this moment the khansama seized
me by the arm and pointed to the gate
and us he did so my heart sank within
me for it was the sahib who had re
turned and with him had come the
magistrate sahib and we had not pre
pjired a tale Truly never before had
1 been so unwilling to go forth jiud
meet the master
Then ran I and hold on the step of
the sahibs carriage jis he alighted
Oh heaven born 1 cried prostrating
myself humbly on the ground before
him I am not fit to lick the dust of
thy feot 1 am like a worm in thy
path
What is the master Girzi Khan
the sahib interrupted Mjike short
work of it and tell me why this crowd
1ms collected in my house
Great and wonderful things have
happened in thine jibseuce 1 replied
quickly so that he might not be vexed
with impatience It was thus I had
sjit in the verandsi all the evening in
accordjince with thy command oh hlgh
born one when suddenly I was seized
in a most uncontrollable manner witJi
a raging thirst that forced me to go to
my house in order to drink wjiter But
sahib hardly inul 1 re acned mine own
threshold when I heard ji mighty rush
ing sound behind me and looking
round I saw that thy house wjis en
veloped in ji great cloud of dust And
immediately my heart stood still with
fejir so that I returned in all haste
I and iii the other servants also And
sahib the house was left as tiiou seest
it now for the floor stands as bare as
the desert of the Punjaub and the evil
spirits of the air have left the heaven
born neither a bed to rest his weary
limbs upon nor a plate that the khan
sama may set before him at meal times
And all these men who live in the com
pound about thine own have seen
these things and can bear testimony
And the crowd shouted It is ail as
the bearer has said
Thou did the magistrate sahib look
sternly at me as if he would look down
iuto my lying soul
Is this tale true he asked
Now my heart sank at his sternness
It is true I Jinswered bending
down before him in order to hide my
confusion
But ray sahib only wjilked up and
down the veranda and said Damn
damn jus all English sahibs do when
they Jire angry
Send for the other servants the
magistrate sahib said
So 1he chowkidhar ran jind fetched
them from their houses where they
were in hiding for they had Jill re
turned to the compound by this lime
Drive auickly to the Thana the
magistrate sahib continued addressing
the syce the groom and bring back
with you two constables who will take
down the depositions of these rogues
Then did the magistrate sahib offer to
take our master back to his house for
our srhib had neither i chair to sit
upon nor ji knife with which to ciV his
mcjtt So they departed
Now the English law is a sti nnge
thing sometimes the Government will
at vh the foolishness of si iitle child
and at other times it will teiul the evil
doer limb from limb Therefore as
none of us knew its power and as there
was great diversity of opinion jus to
whether the magistral sahib would
cause us to be beaten with cords until
we were near to death or whether we
would be thrown into prison for the
rest of our lives we all agreed to tell
different tales to the police when they
arrived so that no man nnht know
which was the truth and thus the ends
of -justice might be frustrated And
after a long time had passed and our
evidence was quite prepared the syce
V
V
returned and with him came two con
stables one of greater rank uid one of
lesser Then did the one of lesser rank
marshal us into line while he who
was the superior questioned us and
wrote down our statements in a book
that he had brought from the Thaaia
which is tiie police station And when
all wjus finished it was found thit the
evidence was different and that no two
men had told the same Uile so the two
constables withdrew a little distjmce
from us and talked among themselves
Listen to me O ye rogues cried the
principal one when the consultation
wjus finished pay attention while I
speak This is a grave case How can
you expect any magistrate sahib to be
merciful when no two men give the
same evidence and how are we to
know that you yourselves may not have
taken the missing goods The case lies
black against you and which of you
does not know that the English haw is
mighty and can do as it listetli with
such miscreants jis come within its
grasp Who has not heard how during
the mutiny the English blew men from
the cannons mouth and hung true be
lievers in pigskins in order that they
might not inherit paradise Be wise
therefore and pay heed to wluit I say
for there is but one way of escape and
through me alone may that wjiy be
learned Bun now every man to his
house and bring me as much money as
you can lay your two hands on for I
would have you know that I stand
close to the magistrate sahibs ear and
therefore can lighten the sentence for
each and every one of you who will
appease me with money offerings
Then did we run and bring money
each man according to his circum
stances And when the two constables
had divided the spoil they departed
taking with them only the bhesti the
water carrier Jind the chowkidhar the
former because he was poor and had
only been able to bring S annas and
the hitter becjiuse he lnid left the house
unguarded wherefore decency de
manded that he should be offered up to
the law
Ah it was a merry time in the bazar
then for such a case had not been
known for many years and wagers ran
high as to what the sentence would
be so that we became the laughing
stock and byword among the idlers who
congregate round the well that lies in
the center of the market place Truly
the bullfrog croaks loudly in the night
season but when the mornmg dawns
the hawk coanes forth and then the
song of the bullfrog suddenly ceases
so it is with all loud voiced ones
As for our nmstar he lived with the
magistrate sahib and wore the magis
trate sahibs clothes having none of
his own But the loss of his goods did
not weigh heavily on his soul for wher
ever there was feasting or merriment
there was our sahib to be seen Such
is the strangeness of the sahib log
Sometimes tune travols slowly and
so it did in our case It was the night
before the day of trial and we that is
to say the other servants Jind myself
were gathered round the grasscutters
lire wrapped in the mantle of our own
black thoughts wheal suddenly ji man
appeared in the circle of light and sat
down Jit my right hand and I looking
on him saw tluit it was Munnoo La 11
the mess khansama who was butler to
the officers that are my sahibs friends
Bam Bam the man cried
And the other Hindoos who were
present took up the salutation and an
swered back Sita Hani
Open your ears wide oh ye men
said Munnoo La 11 for 1 have come Jill
the way from the messhousc in order to
tell you a tale and to ask you the mean
ing thereof Behold there once lived ji
king in a great land A hunnme ruler
wjis he and also ji man of great under
standing yea the ants in their houses
gathered not more wisdom than he
But one day this king departed for a
short season lejiving instructions with
his vizier and other officers to guard all
tilings in his absence Now when the
master was away eich man repaired
to his own house and did there what
he pleased One betook himself to the
bazar to buy ji new coat a second en
tertained a large party of friends md
so on each man according to his own
inclination Then the king returned
and it was found that while those un
worthy servants had feasted aud made
merry the treasure had been left un
guarded and it had vanished no man
knew where But the king only laugh
ed and dismissed those unworthy ser
vants and strange to tell the king
laughs still Tell me O Girzi Khan
what is the meaning of this tale
Then my heart grew uneasy within
me for this story wjis like in many
respects to our own
I know not I juiswered
The answer to this ridlle is not far
to seek Munnoo Lall called rising
and gathering up his role jis if he
avouI leave us for it lies in mine
hand But knowledge is ji pearl of
great price juul is only to be bought
with money
Then did we consult among our
selves so that at hist we Aveait and
fetched that which the man required
The explanation is so simple Mun
noo Lall continued that ye have wilk
ed past Jind left it This is how the
knowledge has come to my hand You
must know that there was a great din
ner at the messhouse to night and the
magistrate sahib and your master were
both invittd Now when the wine
passed round tongues of all who
were present got loosed aud they knew
not that I could understand their jii
guage And at last the lieutenant Hiihib
told a tale which was to this effect
On that evil night when your sahibs
things vanished you must know that
your nuster returned earlier than lie
had intended and with him came the
lieutenant and the magistrate sahibs
And when they saw that none had been
left behind to watch they laughed and
your master having opened a godown
of which he alone keeps the key they
placed the furniture within and made
all fast again But the magistrate
sahib looked on only and took no octavo
part for it was fitting that he should1
keep his hands clean being a ruler 1
Then when the tale was finished there
was much laughter at the messhousc
jind under cover of it I slipped away to
tell you how all things had happened
Bun quickly now O ye men and see if
all is jis I say
So we ran and I having leaped upon
Ilussain AH the khansamas shoulders
looked through the window Jind there
saw in the dusk many shadows within
the godown that might perhaps be
1 ognized as the sahibs goods according
ly the sweeper went with the speed of
the wind to the bazar Jind liaving bor
rowed many keys of the locksmith in
order that Ave might undo the lock avc
opened the door And there truly every
thing Avas as the mess khansama had
sjiid nothing gone and nothing broken
Do now as I say Munnoo Lall
cried Take your sahibs belongings
upon your shoulders and carry them
Avith Jill speed to the house and you
Girzi Klian see that they are arranged
jus the sahib was accustomed to see
tli em Then when all is ready go Jind
tell your nuister that his furniture has
returned Jtny further explanation that
you desire to give you must arrange
among yourselves So saying he de
pjirted
Ah Iioav Ave Avorked that night no
man van tell but at last when the
sjihibs clock pointed to the luUf hour
jifter 3 Ave looked round and behold
Jill things Avere in their accustomed
places So jis it avjis too early yet for
our sjihib to have risen Ave repaired to
the msigistrate sahibs compound aud
tli ere sat round the fire that the grass
cutters had lighted in front of the sta
bles until such time jus our master
should aAvake However Jill things
come to an end and so at last word
was brought that I might go into the
presence of the heaven bom
What is the matter Girzi Khan
the sahib asked jis he lay on his bed
Oh high born one 1 cried pros
trating myself on the ground before
him I hae sought an audience in
order that I might lay before thee the
mighty workings of providence Be
hold oh sahib as Ave lay en our beds
last night our hearts being heavy Avith
despondency there came i mighty
Avind from heaven that Avrapped thine
house in its folds and Avhen the wind
had passed Jiwjiy Ave went to look and
lo all the sahibs furniture had return
ed Let me beg of the heaven bom
therefore to return and take up his
abode once more in his oavii house Jind
I pray that the sahib avIU not forget
his uuAvorthy servant Girzi Khan in
that dsiy
Then did the master laugh and call
out to the magistrate sahib by name
and I avjis forced to repeat the btory
once more Ho ho there avjis much
laughter among the sahibs that day
and they called us lying devils and
other evil names such is the character
of the sahib dog

impelled to pur her knowledge to use
Tinier such conditions i girl has not
much choice Her duty is very clear

Mosr school yards are small and

use very Iitrle can be expected from
plauring in them liowering hrubs or
plants It is a very fortunate case that
even some shade trees succeed in liv
ing and growing With great care
shade trees may be secured especially
if the children can be kept interested
in them as they may be if properly
taught and trained Bur besides these
rhe yjirds must be clear for the chil
drens use Still there is something
to be done to beautify the place and
that Avithout interfering with it as i

Donts for Teachers
Dont pervert good methods by wast
ing precious time in teaching or level-
oiling wluit your pupils know alresuljv
better perhaps than you could teacl
them
Dont forget that A our pupils learn
more during the first six ye irs of their
lives than they will ever learn in any1
six yejirs of their lives that follow
Utilize this knowledge
Dont insult ihe good sense of your
pupils by making too apparent your
efforts to talk down to their under
standing for ir is safe to assume that
they sometimes know more than they
at first appear to show
Dont mistrust your students or con
stantly suspect them of intention to do
wrong or to be dishonest or to display
in some other manner innate depravity
This is the way to dull or destroy their
sense of I10utr and to cause them toAu
just Avhat they should not
do Ex

The world is a school room anil
folks who convert it into ji playground

The teacher who goes before his
class to show off what he knows may
be a good lecturer but he is a vory
poor teacher
Words Jire like nuts we must crack
their hard shell Avith the hjimmer of
understanding to get the juicy kernels
of thought out of them
The schoolboy may till his pockets
bursting with the choicest nuts but h
will remain hungry for all that unless
he knows how to crack them
Some tejichers have a constitutional
weakness to show off themselves oth
ers to show off their pupils This is ed
ucational pyrotechnics but it is not
reaching
The understanding should always
keep ji little in advance of the tongue
This for those whose pupils memorize
the forms of thought without gertin
he substance
We may pin leaves on a tree but
the- will not grow there is no vital
connection between the leaf jind the

we may pin words on the memory of a
