Hazel’. Story, When the bell rang Stanley was studying hard. He stopped to listen as mama opened the front door. It was one of the church ladies, who had come to plan with mama about a missionary box. So Stanley went right on with: , B-a-m, bam, b-o-o, bamboo; b-a->m, bam, b-o-o-s, boos, bam boss; e-c-h, ech, o, echo; e-c-h, ech, o-e-s, oes, clicks.” He shut his book. He was sure of every word now, and mama had said that he might go out to play ball as soon as his lesson was learned. He ran upstairs to get his ball. As he passed mama’s room, he saw his little sister Hazel had waked from her nap. “Tanney! Tanney! Tu.m back!” she cried. ' “Oh dear!” Stanley said to himself. “Whatever made her wake up just now! 111 keep still, and perhaps she’ll go to sleep again.” “Tanney! Turn back!” The little voice was very pleading; but Stanley did want to go and play ball. He had earned his play hour, and he did not like to give it up.

“P’ease, Tanney, turn back!” This was too much for the little brother’s loving heart to withstand, and in a moment he was lifting Hazel from her crib. “Tell ’tory!” baby demanded. “Tell ’tory!” persisted the little one. “Well,” said Stanley, “'what shall I tell you a story about?” “ ’Bout doggy.” “Well, once there was a doggy ” “G’eat, big b'ack doggy,” put In Hazel. “Yes, a great, big, black doggy,” agreed Stanley, “and every morning he went ,r “An’ dot ’e paper,” interrupted Hazel. * “Yes, he got the paper at the corner store and brought it home to ” “In he mouf!” cried Hazel. Stanley laughed. “You tell me the story.” “No, tell ’tory!” pleaded the little one. - “Well, he brought the paper home in his mouth to his master ” “An’ he take ’e paper out he mouf, an’ he pat doggy’s head, an’ he say, Dood doggy!’ Nen doggy lie down on p'azza, an’ do s’eep, an’—'at’s all.” Stanley was not through laughing when mama came upstairs. “Why, I supposed you were out playing, and that baby was asleep,'' mama said. “No, no!” cried Hazel, decidedly. “Tanney tell ’tory!” “Now go to your ball game,” mama said. “There’s Herbert coming for you, and you may play till ”6 o’clock.” —Youth’s Companion. When a Kins Travels. When King Edward of England travels by train great care is taken that his journey shall be safe, as well as comfortable, especlalir at night. Then, the saloon and sleeping bertha are lighted by electrlofty and the en-

gineer and guard are able to communicate with each other by a special cord, whilst each carriage is fitted with a cord to the guard’s van. i In a carriage at the back of the train rides one of the chief officers of the company, with the carriage superintendent, and in their charge are a number of workmen, ready to meet any accident or breakdown that might happen, so if anything did’ chance to go wrong it could be putright quickly. In front of the train goes a pilot engine to see that the line is clear and safe. , Tom Tot. Oh, little Tom Tot is a .brave little man, As people often remark; But nobody knows why It is he dislikes t To go to bed in the dark.
