FOR OUR LITTLE FOLKS.

A COLUMN OF PARTICULAR INTEREST TO THEM. (That Children Hava Done. What They Are Doing. and What Thev Should Do to Faea Their Childhood Days. What a Boy Can Do. These are some of the things that a boy can do: He can whistle so Iot»d the air turns blue; He can make all sounds of beast and bird, And a thousand noises never heard. He can crow or crackle, or he can cluck As well as a rooster, hes, .or duck. He can bark like a dog, he can 100 like a cow. And a cat Itself can’t beat his “me-ow. ” He has sounds that are ruffled, striped, and plain; He can thunder by as a railway train: Stop at the stations a breath and then Apply the steam and off again. He has all of his powers in such command He can turn right into a full brass band. With all of the Instruments ever played. He makes of himself a street parade. You can tell that a boy Is very ill If he’s wide awake and keeping still. Hut earth would be—God bless the noise!— A dull old place if there were no boys. —Chicago Post
