UNCLE CASSIUS'S MULE. "In the good old times when gas light was used on the streets, when omnibuses ran rattling over the cobblestones instead of street cars, when live chickens and live beef were brought to market in place of tasteless cold-storage meat, great .droves of pigs used to come grunting and squealing along John street in Cincinnati; also, herds of wildeyed, long-horned cattle driven by wild looking men on horse back and great droves of gray colored mules with a leader carrying a bell on his neck. Well, this lead mule was often a beautiful, clean-umoea beast and one day an old negro said to the "writer, "who is the author of an article in the February Boys' Life; - " 'Say, Dannie, did you see dat white bell mule?" - " 'Yes, Uncle, I saw him and he is a mighty pretty mule.' "Yea, he am a mighty fine mule an'. Dannie, he cum mighty near being my. mule, v " 'Go long. Uncle! What are you talking about?" - 'He sure did, Danuie.

A Braoe Little Frenchman Pierre was a little French boy who lived in a village ' near the boundary line between France and Germany. One day some French troops came to the village. When the people gathered round . them, "Do you know if they're far from any Germans about - "D you know if they are far from here? I wish to know exactly be fore we cross the river," added the captain. .v v . Little Pierre, who had heard the question, pushed forward and saluted. "If you wish, I will find out," said he. "I know the country very well. My grandmother, who is ill lives tn the other side of the river, in the next village. I will go to see her and find out if the Germans are nearby." "But you will be shot" said the captain. . - "Oh, I am not afraid," replied the little boy. "I will hide in the bushes and if any one should see me. I will say I am going to see my grandmother." '' The boy's offer pleased the captain and he consented to' let the little fellow try out his plan. Pierre started off as if he were going for a walk in the country- He bad on his wooden shoes, a woolen cap was in his hand, and he wore a short blue coat He looked exactly like a little boy going to visit his grandmother. He crossed the river on a little foot bridge. When he came to the other side; he went toward the village Where his grandmother lived hiding as best he could back of hedges and bushes. Once he met a woman whom he knew and asked her whether there were any Germans nearby. "Indeed there are. Thousands of them are out there - beyond the houses, with horses and cannon. Go back home at once or you will be shot" But the brave lad did not torn back. v - , "If there are Germans here, thought he, "it Is not time to think of myself. I must get exact intermotion for the captain." 1 Suddenly he heard the galloping of a troop of horsemen ana saw some German cavalry coming toward him. . ' " "Halt!" shouted an officer. "What are you doing, boy?" "I am going to see my grandmother who is ill," said little Pierre. "No yon are not" said one of the Germans. "Ist ar aiding yourself

He heard the Germans talking and knew that they banned to attack the French on the ther side of the river. ''If only I could get away and warn the captain," he thought But that seemed impossible for the Germans had locked him in a barn which was guarded by a sentinel. "If the least warning is given to the French you will be shot this evening," he was warned. "How can I get out." thought this brave little boy to himself as soon as he was alone. He looked about him. The barn had been used as a storehouse and was full of knapsacks, , helmets and guns. There was a" small window in one side, too high for the little boy to reach. Quickly and quietly he piled a num ber of knapsacks one up the other and climbing over them was able to reach the opening. He looked out The sentry was on the other side of the building. So out he jumped, landing in the soft dirt below without making any noise. Just as fast as he could he made his way back toward the river, crawling behind thickets. His one thought was to reach the other side and warn the French that the Germans were coming. He heard shouts behind him and thought that his escape had been discovered. Then how he did run! Soon he came to the river. Fortunately the river was low and so in he splashed and waded across to the other side When he finally reached the captain, he was a wet muddy, and breathless little boy. , "There are many Germans and a great many cannon," he told the of ficer, "and they are going to come here for they have forbidden all the people to leave the village for fear they will warn you." "You are a brave ooy," said the captain. "We know bow what to do." - "I am only sorry." said Pierre, "that I did not - see my grand mother." National School Service.

Playing Pollyanna By Julia R. Burr. In a city Just about as big as Richmond, lived a girl. Her name was Mary Jane Crossburt, and ehe was Just twelve years old. But Mary Jane's auntie Mae called her "little cross cat," because ' whenever Auntie Mae came .to Mary Jane's house she seemed to always find this little girl a bit cross. Mary Jane could fight oh, yes! Why, when she would get mad, you could just see those fists of hers roll up, and believe me, when they did roll up, every girl scampered. But that's just one think that folks didn't like about Mary Jane, but otherwise they loved her. Another thing was 6he diBliked school. Now Auntie Mat and Mary Jane's mother put their . heads together to try to find some' way to get Mary Jane's fighting spirit from her. At last mother found a way which you will find out soon. . One day Mary Jane came in from school with a worried look on her little face. "What's the matter, now?" asked mother. "Oh, we're going to have a history test over five chapters tomorrow, and I don't know anything about it." "Well, don't worry, for you still have to night," said mother. But Mary Jane did worry and by bedtime she knew no more than before. And next morning Mary Jane was sick, so sick she could not go to school. They called Dr.- White and he said that Mary Jane had worried too much over something and he said to keep her in bed. Mary Jane was very restless and so mother said, "I tell you, Mary Jane, let s play Pollyanna's game." "How do you play it?" she asked. Then mother told Mary Jane the story of Pollyanna, the glad girl, which I am sure all of you have read. "But, Mother," said Mary Jane, "Where's pur game?" "The glad , game, dear," said mother. "Don't you ' remember how Pollyanna did? She was always glad of something. You can be glad that you are not seriously ill." "Oh, Mother," said Mary Jane, "that will be fun. Oh, I'm glad I have such a darling . mother. I'm glad, glad, glad!" . . - Auntie Mae was glad too, for the way Mary Jane, was playing the game. And then Mary Jane soon had papa, mother and Auntie Mae playing it too. But one day everyone seemed to stop . playing the game, but Mary Jane, and she might have too; had she known the truth. - Instead of getting better she seemed to get worse. She had a nurse and no one but their own family were allowed to visit her and then only a short time. "She is very, very low," said Dr. White, "and I have not much' hopes for her." Mary Jane was Dale and weak ' and the doctor's words seemed true. It was midnight and Mary Jane awoke and discovered her mother by her bedside. "Mother," said she, "why don't you play the glad game anymore?" "I trying to dear," said mother. and a tear rolled down her cheek, uo to sleep now, and rest" Next night Mary Jane was heard calling, "Papa, papa." Mother sent for Dr. White, and ased what to da "Send for her father." said he, "He may yet save her." Mr. : Croesburt was a traveling merchant and was home once every three weeks. So mother sent a telegram to him to come right away. He -was in New York and It was doubted whether he would arrive in time. But he did! And it saved Mary Jane. By morning she as reported improving rapidly. Auntie Mae and mother and papa began plying the glad game. Soon Mary Jane was able to see her friends again and then at the end of the day she said to mother, "O mother! how glad I am to have so many friends." (To be continued.) The . earth starts every morning on its long Journey round the sun as truly as on the first day of January, and each new dawn, there fore, offers a fresh opportunity to do right It is for us to determine what the year shall be. The de - mand on us is not that we shall succeed, bat that we try; and to try manfully every day and all day long is Inevitable to attain In the end a supremo success. GEOGRAPHICAL, "Hungary?" Tes.

OH BEE! WHERE

IS THY STING Dr. E. R. Root California agriculturalist hobnobbing with the "friendly" bees. The bee is really a friendly litjie chap, according to Dr. E. R. Root, famous agriculturalist of southern California. He lectures with a hatful of them and allows them to scramble around his face. He declares the bee is kept so busy in California because of the perpetual growing season, that it has no time to sting anybody. Washington's Vision Perhaps one of the interesting stories of Washington that makes an appeal to us just now. is the vision he' had of America's future. It is reported that this strange vision was told to - Wesley Bradshaw by Anthony Sherman, when the latter was 99 years of age. "Washington often went alone to " pray in secret, and one day he remained all afternoon alone in his quarters. When he came out his face looked pale and thoughtful. Finally he gazed intently at his companion and said : "I do net know whether it is due to anxiety or what, but I sat at my table this afternoon when, looking up, I saw a form standing beside me. "I had left orders that I was not to , be disturbed, so I asked the cause of her presence; then my tongue became powerless. "All I could do was to gase steadily at my unknown visitor. Then the vision said: "Son of the Republic, look and learn.' I now beheld a heavy vapor, and upon this I seemed to see pictured all the countries of the world, spread out over one vast plain; the ocean rolled between it and the fair Western world of America. A dark forni seemed to rise from the sea ajifjS holding one hand over Europe and -, the other over America, sprinkled water over each. "Immediately clouds and flashes of lightning were seen over both continents, but after a time the dark form sank and merged once more into the billows of the sea. "This awesome vision appeared three times, and then remained in oblivion. The fair form of my visitor then leaned over me and interpreted: "Son of the Republic, three great perils will attack this Republic, and the most fearful is the third, but let every child of the Republic learn to live for God and his land and union will always be safe.' "Then the visitor vanished, and I instantly felt my powers and senses return to be. Now I know, my friend, that with God's help, we shall be victorious now, and in the two future perils for Liberty."
