"All right." ald Robert ratefully. thinking what a nice fellow Johnnie was, Now he began to look anxiously up and down the street wondering what had become of the stranger. One or two people passed by. Robert amused himself by climbing: up the lamp post and doing other stunLs but all the same it was petting later and later and he was feeling hollow inside. Perhaps another boy might have gone off sayin?"Bothertheold suitcase!" But there was one thing about Robert which mado up for some of his faults, he waj honest and steady and dependable. So he waited and waited. Presently he heard someone come running, it was his sister. Ruth. "Mother says come to supper at once." said Ruth. "That is. she wa.nts to know why you don't come. Hasn't the boy in long pants come yet?" "Xc." replied Robert, sadly. "Tell Mummy I can't leave the suitcase as I promised to watch it She'll understand." Ruth ran off with the message and Robert sat down with his chin in his hands, feeling rather blue. Presently Johnnie Richards came back and said he would watch the suitcase while Robert went to get some supper. This Robert was only too glad to do. And after he had eaten his supper he hastened back to his post. There sat Johnnie beside the suitcase. They sat down together and talked and waited but no boy in Ions: pants appeared.

Mothers5 Day

AXK came home from school on Friday, the 7th of May, fairly bursting II with questions. As Aunt Peggy was the only one at home the little girl II dragged her on to the porch and began to interrogate her. JM "What's Mother's Day?" she aked. "My teacher said It was next Sunday what it is, and why do we call it that, and what do we do to celebrate?" "One question at a time, please kiddle," cried Aunt Peggy covering her ears with her hands. "If you will just pause for breath maybe I can tell you what you want to know. Mothers Day is celebrated on the second Sunday tn May. by boyi and glrli all over the United States. In May, 1314. President WILson Issued the first national Mothers' Day Proclamation asking that the second Sunday in the month be observed as Mothers' Day. This proclamation was Issued In accordance with a joint resolution of the House of Representatives. For a number of years the idea and hope had been fostered In the hearts of many that a day mUht be permanently established for sons and daughters all over the land to honor their homes. Miss Anna Jarvis, a lady living in Philadelphia, had been especially anxious to see such a day marked on the calendar in red letters and it was largely through her efforts that Congress agreed to ask the President to issue a proclamation. As a mark of the day it Is requested that the American flag be displayed on all government buildings, homes, and other suitable places." "But my teacher said something about a white carnation being the mark of the day." said Jane. "So it Is." continued Aunt Peggy, "the flower is the badge of love. A white carnation for purity. Every girl or boy no matter how big or how little; no matter how old or how young; no matter where they may be should wear a -white carnation on the second Sunday in May In honor of 'The Beat Mother Who Ever Lived.' " " 'The Best Mother Who Ever Lived.' " repeated Jane. "Why, that's the Mothers' Day slogan, isn't it? But is wearing a carnation the only way we celebrate ?" "By all means. NO!" exclaimed Aunt Peggy. "That Is the least little part of the celebration Just the outward sign that love is in your heart; but the big and lasting way of celebrating Mothers' Day is to do the things of which you know Mother would be proud.

A little ac of kindness, a visit to an invalid, an older person, to mother if she lives in another town; a letter or a message of love; a gift; a thoughtful deed all these things show the true love that you have for Mother, and have effects that are lasting, not only upon the recipient of your thoughtfulness. but upon yourself, for by your deeds are you known to the world, and by your acts Is your character moulded. Mothers' Day is now celebrated In almost every' State in the Union and it is the custom for the Governor of each State to issue a Proclamation asking that all the city and

state Institutions and that all the people in the state help to make Mothers' Daya real holiday." "My teacher also slid that some Mothers stand out as brave figures in history; who were some of them. Aunt Peggy?" "There are msny brave Mothers," answered Aunt Peggy. "Cornelia, the mother of the Gracchi, stands out for her great love which she bore her sons. One day a rich friend while ehowir.g off some precious gems asked Cornelia to show her jewels. Now, Cornelia was a poor w oman but she did not hesitate when the request was made. She called her two boys to her, and. with an arm about each, she turned to her friend and said. 'These are my Jewels more precious thari all the gems in the world.' Is it any wonder that the aim of those boys' life was to make their mother proud of them, and to have her faith In them Justified? The mother of Lincoln, of whom but little is known, we are told played a very important part in implanting within the boy's heart the seeds which later ripened to greatness. The mother of Moses, braved the wrath of the king even death Itself to save her baby from a cruel death. History Is full of the etorles of mothers whose love and wisdom founded and preserved empires. Some day j-ou will have to read some of these splendid stories for yourself." "I'm glad you tcld me all about Mothers' Day." said Jane. "For now I will try to do the things that Mothers' Day stands for, so every one can know that I really and truly love my mother and think she is the very best mother

: who ever lived. And I'm gclng to buy a bunch of white carnations, too. to I give to mother on Sunday. Do you think she will like them?" asked Jane. 1 Aunt Peggy thought she would, and I think so, too. Don't you?

"Are you sure you didn't dreajn it?" Johnnie asked. "I didn't see any fellow In long pants like the one you tell about and I was at the station all the afternoon. You know the circus train is expected In any time new." "Yes." replied Robert, "but this fel low Is no dream or how do you think ! I got this suitcase?" "I was Just Joking." said Johnnie. "1 wonder what's inside.' He took the suitcase, which was heavy, and shook It. It didn't rattle. "I bet it's full of gold money." "Well, if it 13 he don't seem to care much for It." said Robert with a sigh. "Or maybe it's got clues In it." said Johnnie in a low voice. "Maybe the little fellow did a crime and he's trying to get away and the suitcase has clues in it. I saw something like that In the movies once. Gee, It was spooky!" "I'd like to look Inside." Robert said. "Look, here's the key tied to the strap, but of course I wouldn't do it. T'wouldn't be right." "Oh. come on. let's!' cried Johnnie. "Xo!" replied Robert firmly, t'wouldn't be right." Just then they saw two women coming along the street. They drew close and stopped near the boys. Robert looked up and saw that one of the women was not a woman but a man. at least she had a great, dark beard. He started up In alarm, but true to his trust he. seized the suitcase as he tried to run awuy. The two women chased him and soon caught him because the suitcase was so heavy.

I. "Here." cried one of them, "give me that suitcase. It's mine." "I c-c-can't," panted Robert, hanging on to the handle. "It belongs to the little fellow in long pants." "Oh, rshaw!" cried the woman. "That midget! He promised to take charge of my snakes for me and this is the way he does!" 'Snakes!" cried Robert. "Yes," replied the woman. "And it's a good thing you didn't open the sultca-se as some boys might have done. I have a new snake, which can really sting, in it with the others. You see, I'm the snake charmer In the circus. This lady ig the bearded lady, as you can f-ee. The little fellow, as you call him, is one of the midgets." Robert was sure It would be all right for him to let the snake charmer have the suitcase and he willingly handed it over. Then the lady opened her purse and handed him two dollar bills, "One dollar was all he promised." said Robert although he felt he had earned two. "Well, you are an honest little chap!" cried the snake-charmer, "ßo keep both and any time you want to see the show come around and ask for me. I'll give you a pass." "Say." whispered Johnnie as the two ladles wrnt off with the dangerous suitcase, "you certainly are a lucky one. Bob." But maybe It wasn't all luck. What do you think? -Hinge E 'AlL n TOOL case Is usually something f thought of as belonging only to I the equipment of a mechanic. ; This was true years ago but times have changed in this respect Just as they have changed in so many other things. Today every city and many of the country schools have well equipped manual training shops and any boy who could afford to own his own tools would have use for a good tool case. Although the schools furnish a set of bench tool3 for each boy. there are a great many boys who would like to have their own tools, and such boys would find a tool case like the one dei scribed a very handy part of their equipment. Tools are often given boys for Christmas or birthday presents, and such tools as this case is designed for. are much mcr satisfactory than a cheap tool box set. although the assortment in the box may be greater. Bas or gumwood Is suggested as the material fcr this case. Given a mahogany stain and finished with brass trimmings that can be purchased at any ten cent store, the box will be such that any boy will be proud to carry to school or to keep his tools la at home.

The Lady With the Lamp )

(Florence Nlghtlngal -Born May 15, 1820.) n HEX she was a very little girl I she endeared herself to the! J neighbors by being ever help- j ful aud thoughtful and watch- i ful of their needs and desires. The story is told that one day as she was wktni; through her father' estate with her friend the Pastor she came upon the Old shepherd, who was having frreat difficulty gathering his Üock together. 'Whir ii your shepherd do??" nskei litt! Miss Florenc (that waj what all the country folk called her). "I thought he always helped you call in the nock." "Ah. indeed." sighed the old nan, "I foar he will never help me ajr&ln, for .tome bad boys have broken his leg with stones and the poor dog Is In such pain that I am goinjr to shoot him tonight to put him out of his trouble." Tars came to the little girl's eyes. "Shoot him." he said. "Oh. poor old Cap." The walk back to the house was a very silent one. and as they approached the dog kennel Florence timidly asked if she might see the dog and find but if h'.s leg were rea.lly so badly Injured. At first the dog yelped with pain and anger when he saw her come near him but when he realized that she was coming to help him he ran forward trustingly and placed the wounded leg In her hand. The pastor examined the wound and it was aoon discovered that the leg was not broken but badly bruised. "Get some water and some soft cloths and we may be able to fix poor Cap's leg so that he will be more-comfortable." he waid. "Careful nursing should rull this good dog around in a few weeks." "May I nurse him?" asked Florence, her eyes glowing In anticipation. "I should try very hard to be a good nurse. And 50 it was that one of the very first patients that one of the greatest mirses In history had to care for was Cap. the old shepherd dog. Florence 'was born In Italy In the city of Florence, for which she was named. All her life Florence Nightingale planned to aid the comfort of others; all her life she strove to alleviate the suffering of the sick, and to care for the distressed. When In 18T4 the Crimean War brought sorrow and suffering into the homes of many people in England and in Europe, Florence Nightingale volunteered her services to her country and offered to go into the heart of the war invested and disease ravaged country and care for thi wounded and dying. After the officers had made their rounds of the military hospital wards and after the nurses had gone to their well earned rest. Florence Nighingale would take her candle and make a tour of the
