AUNT BUSY HASHER SAY. i Dear Nieces and Nephews-Aunt Busy's dear i emluren arc brnow securely .launched on another i year cd .M'hool 1-te. The happy vacation davs of the vanished summer are now memories, but memories memo-ries that will be awakened by the anticipated jovP of next summer, when the coming year's work 'is over. Of course,. you are all tilled with ambition to make the best records for the year. Xqt only record.- tor class work mut be considered, but for conduct, con-duct, attendance, promptness, obedience and the many virtues so necessary in a student's life. Aunt Busy does not want to preach, but she docs hope that -for iier boys and girls success in the highest measure will crown their efforts during- the coming; year. The school days ?0 far too swiftly. Do not say "I will begin next week to study." but start at once. The iirst term ends shortly after the holiday holi-day time, and remember, dear young: people, lhat the first term counts more seriously than the last. Remember that n builder always sees that the foundation foun-dation for his house is firmly-and strongly built : before the walls are constructed, so the first term of the school year is the foundation for the merits and rewards of commencement.

The Best Runner. "I can run faster than anybody," said Jack, "I con run faster than anybody," said Dorothy and Willie and Sarah. Uncle Will held in his hand a prize for the best runner, It was a box of candy. He set the box on the pot beside tho gate. "I will count three," he said, "and then we'll see who is the best runner." "One, two " began Uncle Will. But just then mamma called from the house: "I want some one to come and amuse the baby. Who will it be" Four little heads dropped. Jack said, "Willie, you go; you can't get the prize anyway," Willie said: You go. Jack; you're tho biggest." Sarah put her finger in her mouth and said nething. Then Dorothy called out: "I'll do it, majrana." Lucie Will counted again. Jack and Sarah touched the gate at exactly the same time. Over at the house baby was laughing and cooing as Dorothy Do-rothy ran up and down before the porch. "Dorothy is the best runner of all." said Uncle ill, "Loek! She is running very fast, not for a prize, but j List to please the babv and to help mamma." mam-ma." ''Oh:" said Jack, Sarah and Willie, But the "best runner" was a very generous one, so everybody had a share of the box of candy. Adapted from Sunbeam. Ten Rules of Politeness. To be polite is to have a kind regard for the feelings and rights of others. Be as polite to your parents, brothers, sisters and schoolmates as you are to strangers. Look people fairly in the eye when you speak to them, or they speak to you. Do not bluntly contradict any one. It is not eliscourteous to refuse to do wrong. Whispering, laughing, chewing gum, or eating at lectures, in school, or at places of amusement, is rude and vulgar. ' Tour of Ireland. A journey in Ireland makes a good game.

Someone has teld a story of two girls who were on a street car together when a poorly-dressed woman wo-man entered, accompanied by several children. One of-the girls lifted the largest child to her lap and held him there during the remainder of the ride. Later her friend remonstrated with her, saying that it would have been easier to pay the boy's fare and let him have a seat; to which the youthful daughter of the king answered simply, "It would have been easier, but I don't think it would have been as kind." The following is an account of a helpful act done in the kindest if not the easiest way: Billy Watson was taking home the big basket of freshly-ironed clothes over which his mother had spent so many hours of work, when the toy express wagon on which the basket rested, broke down. Billy's wits, never very keen, were quite unequal to this emergency. He sat down in tho grass by the roadside, and was crying there when Rae WTinston happened to pass. It took Rae only half a minute to get the whole story from Billy's trembling lips, and it took her even less time to determine- what was to be done. "These go to Mrs. Rollins, do they?" she said, cheerfully. "Well, I wonder if we couldn't carry the basket that little way. You take one end and I will take the other." Billy's tears dried at once over this unexpected offer of aid. He clutched the handle of the big basket, with both hands and manfully did his best. But it must ba confessed that neither found the task an easy one, and Rae, as well as Billy, was glad to stop on each corner to take breath for a new start. When Mrs. Rollins, looking from the dining room window, saw Judge Winston's daughter helping help-ing Billy Watson bring the washing through tho yard, she was so "taken aback," as she declared afterward, that you could have "knocked her down with a feather." But the neighbor with her smiled at her amazement. "The child's just like her mother," she said, "and she's got the same way of helping folks." Rae's aiel did not end even there. She took Billy home with her, and gave hint a pair of old wheels which had been in the loft of the woodshed for some time and which she rightly judged would repair re-pair the broken cart. Billy went away with shining eyes. And though three little blisters on Rae's white palm showed that her way of helping had uot been the easiest, there can be no doubt that, trifling as it seemed, it had showed the very spirit of the Master. 4. ; A correspondent of the London Daily Xews tells a good story. A practical joker, ho says, went into a London restaurant and asked for two eggs one fried on one side, and the other on the other. "The waiter returned and said, 'Beg pardon, sir; but I am afraid I didn't quite catch what you said.' T want -tw'o eggs one of them fried on one side, and the other fried on the other.' 'Thank you, sir,' said the waiter. 'I thought that was what you said.' Five minutes passed, and he returned, 'I "beg pardon, par-don, sir; but the cook and me have had some words, and would you mind having your eggs scrambled instead V |
