When I Was Little. We begin early to deal in retrospec tion. If he considers you to have un derstanding, a live year old will relate 'to you with amused chucklings the queer things he used to think when he "was little." "When I was little!" That was the time when many things -now made plain were mysteries past Ending out Why my big brother should have free access to the loaf sugar while I was forbidden on pain of being put to bed, was only one of the inexplicable things. Another and great er question was, "Why! having said free, access did he make so little and infre quent use of bis indulgence?" Little Brother and I used to discuss these and other questions at great lengin out in the Box Elder grove. Thia was the -temple to which we always tied when life was too much for us. I remember it was thither we betook ourselves when our father had the mumps, very severely indeed for having evaded them in his childhood, and prayed to our God, as we knew him not to let our father L. die. We promised to offer up a sacrifice if father's life was spared, and that was the inner aspect of our subsequent bar barous assault upon one of mother's hens. Mother, who was the best chris tian in the world, and would not have recognized our God if she had met him in the Box Elder grove, came upon us suddenly, just, in time to , rescue the hen. We escaped with a scolding and immediately played that the hen was Isaac, and mother an angel who had come to show us a better sacrifice. We decided upon a summer Equash as an appropriate substitute for the sheep caught in the brambles. As the equash made no out-cry, and we had so many it was never missed, we considered that we had done well, and our God was. ap peased. We had been reading the story of the Bible, and were not (as it is per haps unnecessary to explain) quite through Genesis. Later we saw the error of our ways on all counts save one. That mother was and is an angel, neither, of Her, too. She's always goin' to tell the principal on me. 'Nd she's always say in' "Nellie Dobson, I'm waiting for you!" It was when Auntie visited the school. You know! That day Jimmy Jones acted so awful and made me laugh right out. I was awful glad I didn't while Aunte was there. 'Cause she's on Miss Booker's side. She is too, 'Yangeline Walker. You'd think bo if you'd hear her telling Mamma what a lovely teacher Nellie had. "Ya'aa!"' I said, ' she is! She's awful good when there's comp'ny. She never writes a name on the board nor nothing. But when com p'y aint there, the does! If you'd look ed at the names on the board Auntie." I says, "You'd seen that some of us haven't got one star even." 'Nd when comp'ny's there she says, ''I'm waiting for one little boy" awful sweet, but when they aint she says, "Jimmy Jones" as cross as she can. F'i was Jimmy Jones I'd be as bad as I could. You needn't stick up for her 'V-angeline, just cause you're the Teacher's Pet, and get etars every day. I'm not goin' to play with you any more 'f you don't stop-lbe in' such a hypercrit. You needn't say you'r sorry, 'cause I won't believe it 'less you stop takin flowrs to her every morning. I'm going to tell my mamma on Her too. She doesn't like Jimmy Jores a bit. She's awful cross to him. Ob, don't turn this corner, 'Vangeline. Come and go a piece with me, can't you? Well, if you've got to go, good bye. Ask your mamma if you can come overtonight'atterBchool and stay till five o'clock. Good-bye" Exit at a run. Exit Evangeline, at a staid and digni fied pace, holding up an imaginary train can not be hampered by boyhood's ties." And he turned away from the shep herdess and looked deep into the eyes of the beautiful woman beside him. But the little shepherdess was not utterly unhappy. "He loved me first!" she murmured. "She can not take that from me. He loved me first!" She was almost content. But of course this was all a long while ago. Nothing in th least like it could happen nowadays. The Judge. First Pub.

That's what I told Auntie! I told on Once on a time, long, long ago, a shepherd and a sheperdess dwelt out side the walled garden of the Heeper ides, He loved her because she was pretty and they both were young; she loved him because she was a woman and must love pometbing, and he did not ob ject in the least to. being adored. But because she loved him truly though blindly she urged him to climb the wall and pluck the golden apples. He said it was impossible. But she so helped him and encouraged him and believed in him that he tried, and after many failures and discouragements he suc ceeded. And when he had surmounted the wall and slain the dragon, he found that the maidens who lived in the gar den were fair to see and they helped him to the golden apples. And one day, as he had climbed with one of them high into the branches of the tree, he saw the sheperdess below stretching out her arms to him. "Did you come from that queer, bleak country outside?" asked the maiden of the garden. "And who is that little ihing?" "Oh, that is a little sheperdess I used to tnow," he answered. "She was ver fond of me and a good little thing, but when a man finds he is bound to rise he First Pub. Nov. 21 i. Notice of Incorporation.
