FOR THE CHILDREN

Discord In Church. A goose, a frog, a cat. a dog. All went to church one day. The goose went on ahead. The rest All followed on this way. When they got there they heard the choir, And all began to sing— The goose, the frog, the cat, the dog ’Twas such a funny thing! The goose went. “Cackle, cackle—hiss!" I can’t, tell how Just now. The frog went. "Peep!" the cat went, “Mew!" The dog went. "Bow-wow-Wow!" The verger wouldn’t have them there. He turned them out, and then The goose, the frog the cat, the dog. Went walking horns again. ' —Scraps. The Bluejay. If every bird told his name as plainly as does the bluejay we should have little trouble in knowing them all. “Jay-jay.” be calls, with a seemjng desire that every passerby notice him. It would be hard to overlook this sprightly fellow anyway. His bluish back and crest and his beautiful blue wings and long tail, which show white Markings when he flies, all make him a very noticeable bird. The jay is a most inquisitive chap. He hops around in the treetops and examines everything be sees, even the nests of other birds. And when he finds something of interest he screams a loud “jay.” and ail his companions gather in to enjoy the fun. When an owl is discovered the jays have a great time teasing the poor fellow, for. as they know, he bates to be chased about in the daylight by a band of screaming blue rowdies. In the nesting season, which has already begun, the bluejay settles down and makes an ideal parent. The nest is a rather large, loose collection of twigs, string, paper and grass and is placed in a shrub or fork of a tree.

The Fountain. There was once a child who saw a fountain playing. "How long do you play?" she said. “All day.” replied the fountain, playing merrily? “How idle"’ said the child. “1 would not play ail day if \ could. Do you never work?” “Certainly 1 work.” Replied the fountain. “I work all day long." “But you are always playing,” said the child- “Playing is not work.” “Ah. well." replied the fountain, “it's all the same to me. I sparkle and shower and have the most glorious timd. lam playing all the time 1 am working, and it’s the gayest kind of a life. Why don’t you get some fun out of your work too?" “Fun.” replied the child. “No. indeed. 1 wouldn't think of such a thing.” Ana she turned away. The fountain dashed a merry flick of spray after ber. aud the drops laughed as they fell into the water. Conundrums. Why does a sailor know there’s a man in the moon? Because he’s been to see (sea), Why was Eve not afraid of the measles? Because she had “adam.” Why is Sunday the strongest day in the week? Because the rest are week days. What is the difference between a hill and a pill? One is hard to get up. the other is hard to get down. Why is a jhive like a spectator at < show? Because it is a bee-holder. Why is a pig the most extraordinary animal in creation? Because you first kill him before you cure him. Why is a proud woman like a music box? Because she is full of airs. Why is a woman mending her stockings deformed? Because her bands are where he? feet belong. When is a cow not a cow? When It Is .turned into a field.

The Champion Speller. Laura Robinson, who is twelve years old and lives in Blackwell. Okla., is the best speller in the state. She proved this by defeating every other contestant at the state spelling bee held recently at Chickasha. The bee was conducted by the state board of education, and a medal was offered for the winner. Almost every county in the state sent its champion speller. The contest began at 4:30 in the afternoon and lasted until 11. with only a short intermission for supper, and then n began at 8 o’clock the next morning and continued until 2 o'clock, when the little girl from Blackwell was the only one of the contestants who had not been spelled down. Then she got the medal. A New Attraction. You may see something new in the circus this year. A new animal has come to America. It is a cantchill. If you should see It you might think that somebody had had a lot of pieces of toy animals and in default of something better to do had made them into one whole animal The cantchill is as large as a fox terrier puppy that is just learning bow to walk straight. It is white, looks rather like a rabbit and has a deer’s head without the antlers and deer’s hoofs. It really is a sort of deer, and it comes from Australia.

Black Snow. There was an unusual snowstorm not long ago. It was in Switzerland, and the snow that fell was black. The Switzers were not especially astonished. because they have seen black snow before, and they knew that the darkness of the fall came from little insects that had come by thousands with the snow and lay so thick that the whiteness of the crystals was not to be seen.

Is Your Buggy *Wom and Dingy? Are you considering the purchase of a new buggy to take u place? , You don’t buy a buggy every week, so when you do get one it will pay you to get a good one. Do you find it hard to make a choice? AD look pretty much alike when they are new, don’t they? Best way to do is to buy a buggy made by a firm you know never turns out anything but reliable goods. If you buy a you can feel certain it will give you satisfactory service. Let us show you some of the new styles. C. A. ROBERTS,
