A Helpful Little Maid.

Her parents think Elsie the cutest child in the world, and certainly for a five-year-old this fairy is wonderfully handy about the house. She has a great ambition to be helpful, however much in the way she may happen to get in her laudable but naturally not yet very effective desire to make herself useful. The other day her father had a gentleman friend to dinner, and after the repast told the little girl to fetch a couple of cigars from his box. “Did you find them, Elsie ?” he asked, as she returned. “Yes, papa, and I bit the ends off for you.” —Buffalo Courier. * "The days ot miracles are past.” That may be, and yet souse of the most wonderful things ever witnessed by the human family have occurred within the last decade. Not the least of these wonders is the success which the agents of B. F. Johnson & Co., Richmond, Va.. are meeting. Write them Tor particulars. They will show you how to work wonders.
