"because at that hour the owner was going to clos up the house and grounds, but meanwhile thr could rlar where they chose and as tber chose. Ail went well icr awnue, ana men one little bor marked with a stick one piece of the ground and said to his compan ion that that piece of ground was hi, and that no one else could P'.ar on It. Then other little boy and other little girl did the same. Ther knew that if they would just divide up tber could have the whole park for theira, but ther were seliah. and didn't want to plar that war- Skats Oat Real Haaplaesa. And la the house the children were selfish, too. Some little bor fot to pull ing brass tacks out of the house and fur niture to see how manr he could get. It aa s beautiful house full of picture books and rocking horses and dolls and things, and the children didn't bare to pull brass tacks for amusement, but that one little bor started It and others followed his ex ample. Then some little boy aaid that tbe only thing to do was to pull brass tacks, and the rest believed hltn. They all began pulling braes tacks and placing them la little piles, trying to see who could get the most. They knew they couldn't take them away with them, but that didn't make any difference; they pulled brass tacks just as hard as they could. And finally o'clock came, and ther bad to go borne, and there were all tbo-e beautiful picture aad story books and dolls that hadn't been touched at all. aad there ther had to ic and leave them, and leave their little plies ot brass tacka. And out doors the little boys and girls had to leave the plots of ground they had marked off and guarded so carefully that they didn't have time to hear the birds stag or to look at the Cowers. It was s sermon against selfishness, de livered ia simple words. It will be remem bered that Ruskla "wake up" at the end and says. "I discovered it was all a dream, for children don't set that way; it Is only tsea who are Bach fools." At the close of tha service the children marched eat. while their elders remained standing, and each child as he paaaed the altar received s carnation, SO of which had been donated for the occasion by William Bu thorn. . .
