Pleeasure and Sacrifice.

An alert little 5-year-old was visiting a city park with her mother for the first time. She had noticed the beautiful red and white swan boats as they passed through in the morning, and her mother had promised they should come back after the shopping was done and have a ride. Shortly after dinner they stood on the bridge over the lagoon watching the boats below and listening to the cry of the barker as he tried to induce the passing crowds to patronize his swan boats. But yhen her mother started toward the boat landing little Elsie declared very vigorously that she did not want tq 4 go at all and, as her mother urged her, broke forth in tears. ‘ This sudden fear was so different from her former eagerness that her mother could not understand it until she noticed the boatman’s call. He was Crying: “Come along! Come along! Ride clear round the pond. Only 5 cents for ladies and gents! Children thrown in!”
