A Lasghln Gas*. One child stands in the middle of a ring formed by the others. In turn they step up to the one and pluck her by the chin, saying; “Aunty thick and thin, I pluck you by ths chin. If you s«« ms laugh or am 11a, I must take your place awhile.” Now, it seems easy enough to say those words without laughing or grinning—when you read about it. But it Isn’t a bit easy when you try it Seelna Four States at Oaee. From Mount Genevieve, a peak in Gilpin county, Colo., a person can see into four states and one territory! On a clear day the observer can discern the Uintah mountains of eastern Utah, the Medicine Bow range of Wyoming, the tips of the Rockies in New Mexico and the principal peaks of Colorado. The plains, stretching to the east, are plainly visible clear into Nebraska. Most Ancient Fires. Not all the sacred fires of India have been extinguished.. The most ancient still existing was consecrated twelve centuries ago in commemoration of the voyage made by the Parsees when they emigrated from Persia to India. This fire is fed five times every two hoars with sandalwood and other fragrant materials, combined with very dry fuel. DlseonmuoA Freddy. The folks all keep a-sayln', "Oh, Freddie, do be good!” I wonder why they cannot know I would be if I could? O' course I would be if I could. An’ I’d begin right now. But how can anybody be. When no one tells him how? When I try to write like mamma An’ slop a little ink, * Nurse says. "I wish you would be good; What will your mamma think?" Papa is good, an' when like him . I try to telephone, Then Bessie says, "Oh, do be good. An’ do let things alone!” Once when I tossed the baby (Pa does It every day)— Why. such a fuss you never saw! I can’t be good that way. It isn’t bein' good, you see. To run or shout or jump Or make Bose mark or cry If you Fall down an J get a bump. It ten t good to handle things Or leave 'em anywhere. 9s wind the clock or grind ths shears Or cut the kittie's hair. Mamma an’ me are ’scoursged. An' I wish 'at some one would Just tell me what nice little boys Do when they're awful good. —Charlotte Whitcomb in Housekeeper.
