Mr. Please & Dorothy.

Dorothy was a nice person-very extremely nice. Indeed. It stands to reason that she must have been, because otherwise-It isn’t at all likely that she would have been called Dorothy, now is iff But she certainly was not dear about some things. For Instance, she wonld forget to say "Please” and “Ma’am” and “Sir* and “Thank You” and words like that, which are very nice. So dne day at dinner Dorothy said, **l want some more chocolate pudding.” She said It Just that way. And Big Father looked at her from the head of the table, and he looked stern; that is, he looked as stern as Big Father ever could look, which was not so very. And Mother frowned a little frown that made her look prettier than ever. But Just the same, it was a truly frown. And she said to Dorothy: “Leave the table.” And Dorothy who w&s not a Mt disobedient even if she did forget nice words went away and climbed up to her own room that had rosy paper on the walls and a cunning rosy carpet, and she threw herself down on the little bed and sobbed and sobbed just dreadfully. So she sobbed and sobbed until she sobbed herself tight, fast asleep, and then all at once she opened her

eyes again and there; stood the very very, very funniest little old man that you ever. ever, Over could Imagine, if you imagined! with all your might for a whole year, night and day. "Good evening, Dorothy,'” said he, bowing till his dear little rosy nose actually touched the floor. "Good evening. Dorothy, I am Mister Please?* "Pray accompany me,” said he, giving one short arm to Dorothy and trotting to the window with her. Dorothy held back and said: "I want to go down the stairs if I go at all.” Mister Please paid no attention but trotted straight out of 1 the window with her, apd down tihey 'went to the ground with a most awful) bump. Dorothy’s hurt stopped by this time and Mister Please gave her his arm again, and, trotted-ton. Soon they came to a hlgjh fence,, and Mister Please ran straight at It and vaulted over without paying the llttlest bit of attention to Dorothy’s scream, “The gate te Just to the left, and I want to go through the gates” So DOrothy tumbled moat unpleasantly over the wall, and Mister Please picked her u© in great distress, and said: "Dear, dear, dear me! How sorry I am! How sorry X am!" Then they trotted on and when they came to a ditch and Mister Please went right towards it to. jump over it Dorothy, said, very, very quickly indeed: "Please, please, let us go over the footbridge,” and Mister Please said, “To be sure, to be sure, Dorothy; delighted—delighted,” and they trotted across the footbridge as comfortably as could be. An thenthey came to a river, and Mister Please was going to jump right into it, hut Dorothy said "Please” again, and he immediately went to where a bridge was. And so they trotted; on and on, and at last they came to the end of the world where there was nothing but a sharp edge left, and Dorothy was so Interested that she forgot, and so, when Mister Please trotted straight to the edge without stopping, Dorothy cried, “I want to stop—l waqff to stop!” and Mister Pllease looked at her with a pelite smile, and said: "Did you speak?” and Over He Went! With Dorothy! And she went down, down, down, screaming, "Please, please, please, dear Mister Please, I will never forget to say Please again!" And then Mother caught her and had her tn her arms and there she was, safe and sound in her own room, and Sweetest Mother said something about a nightmare; but Dorothy knew better. And ttfe very next morning at the breakfast table she said,, "Please, will you please let me have some ton please, if you please?” And Bit rather made believe to fall off the chair with surprise.

Measuring a Ship's Speed

▲ ship's speed as you know, la reckoned by “knots,** a knot being a geographical mile, or one-sixtieth of a degree. Six geographical miles are about equal to seven statute miles, and a ship that sails twelve knots, therefore, is really moving at the rate of fourteen statute miles an hour. It should be remembered that it Is incorrect to say so many “knots an houi I ,’’ simply so many knots, tar a knot means “one mile an hoar.**
