Everyone looked at Nannie Miller
Tbey were sure Nannie would have an
idea if any one would. Nannie was
famouB in the school for her ideas.
Nannie felt that the occasion called
for reflection. She thought very bard
all the way back to the school house,
and the others were careful not to dis

Miss Mattie opened it and there stood
the whole Third Class, looking more im

before.
Nannie Miller stood in front, carrying
a big blue and gold jar.
We've brought you a birthday pres
ent, Mise Mattie," said Nannie politely,
"and we wish you many happy returns
of the day."
Nannie felt relieved when she had
got her little speech off. She had re

"Deary me!' said Miss Mattie again.
She lifted the lid of the rose-jar, and
it seemed as if the room were tilled with
